Fight Over Recordership Brought
Validity of City Charter Into Ques
tion and Leave Chance for Evasion
of Ordinances.
City officials arc w.ell pleased over
the decision recently- rendered hy
Judge Bean, of the supreme court, in
tne case wnicn has been fought over
the city recordership, because this
decision not only settles the fight
over the office, but also validates the
city charter, which was put in ques
tion by the points raised in the suit.
On the strength of this Question of
the legallity of the city charter a
i.umber of people have avoided the
provisions of certain city ordinances,
most notable of these being that pro
viding for the maintenance of side
walks within the municipality.
Many property holders have allow
ed their walks to degenerate Into an
extremely bad state of repair, and
when instructed to Improve the con
dition of the walks have refused, de
claring that they could not be forced
to do so under the charter. Thus it
was only possible for the street com
missioner to force repairs when the
walks became a menace to Jlfe and
limb, which fact has been largely ac
countable for the bad condition of the
walks on many of the residence
streets.
Dry Weather Causes Trouble.
Street Commissioner Fee states,
however, that much of the trouble
with the sidewalks is caused by the
dryness of the climate, which makes
It almost impossible to keep the nails
in the walks down to the level of the
boards in which they are driven, as
even In newly laid walks the nails
will be up inBlde of two or three
weekB In dry weather.
.Much of the trouble from raising
nails, says he, is caused by bicy
clists riding over the walks, the pe
culiar jarring motion causing the
spikes loosened by shrinkage of the
wood, to rise and remain above the
level of the boards. Pedestrians
cause the nails to come up, but In
a lesser degree.
With the city charter held to be
valid, and the officials declare that
if one provision is, the entire docu
ment must hold, it will be possible to
force property holders to keep their
walks in better repair and also to en
force numerous other ordinances, the
provisions of which are at present
under the excuse of charter Invalid
Ity.

VERY HARD PROBLEM
G. A. R. MANAGEMENT IS
UP AGAINST A PUZZLE,
Question of What to Do With General
Miles During the Various Exercises
Is Causing Considerable Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 23. One of the
most vexing problems confronting
the local management of the coming
Qrand Army encampment is the lo
eating of General Miles during the
various exercises.
The open antagonism between the
administration and the head of the
army makes the question before the
citizens' committee a delicate one
The Grand Army insists that Miles
be given the position of honor at
every opportunity, but the feelings of
the president must also be taken into
consideration.
Plans for the president to review
the grand parade with Miles have
been abandoned.

Annual Polo Tournament.
Newport, IL I., Aug. 23, The an
nual polo tournament' opened auspi
ciously today with a number of prom
inent experts at the game among the
participants. Tho play, which con
tinues until the second week in Sop
totnber, is for the Brenton Roef cups,
the Newport cups and tho Westches
ter polo cups.
Fire broke out In the eastern end
of Kerr Gifforti & Company's ware
house, at the O. R. & N. yards in this
city, and at the time the East Ore-
gonian went to press was still blaz
ing fiercely, although tho firemen be
lioved they were getting the flames
under control.
The cause of the fire Is a mystery,
the blaze being well under way when
discovered and the entire building
bing enveloped In flames within o
few moments after the alarm was
turned In.
The warehouse is totally destroyed
together with 7000 new. and 4000 old
grain sacks, several hundred dollars
worth of furniture and 700 bushels of
wheat stored therein, as well as a
considerable quantity of merchan
dise. In addition to the warehouse, some
15 or 20 cars in the O. K. & N. yards
caught fire and nearly all these were
destroyed. Something like 1000
cords of wood In cars and stacked
within the yard limits were also de
voured by the fire demon and thi
loss is said to fall chiefly upon local
wood .dealers.
The loss will be about 1 4000 to
$5000 on wood, $10,00 to $15,000 on
railway cars, $500 to $G00 worth of
grain sacks, and $300 to $400 worth
of wheat Tho warehouse is valued
at about $5000.
There is almost no insurance on
anything destroyed, except what may
have been carried by H. J. Bean, who
owned tho burned wheat.
The fire department- was quickly on
the ground and had a number of
streams playing on tho flames within
a few minutes every available bit of
hose in town being called into requi
sition and it was only by tho most
energetic work that they prevented
tho fire spreading to tho oil ware;
house at tho end of tho Kerr Gifford
structure, in which event there would
have been a fearful explosion and
probably several lives lost.
A Dwelling Burned.
While the fire was in progress the
residence of "Red" Ulrich, formerly
a baseball player, about 100 yards of
moro from the main fire, caught fire
and was considerably damaged. This,
however, was independent of the
warehouse fire and did not catch
therefrom.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT EN TOUR
At Providence, R. I., He Spoke in Favor of the Trusts Crowd
Was So Great that Women and Children Were
Crushed and Trampled Under Foot,
Providence, R. I., Aug. 23. A tre
mendous crowd greeted President
Roosevelt when his special train

Talked of Trusts.
After luncheon, the president made
an address on the theme of trusts

tered unwholesome conditions as
well as healthy, and maintained that
a consolidation of industrial enter
prises in some instances was abso
iutely necessary and that, exactly as
labor organizations when used aright
aro of service, so wealth, not merely
Individual but corporate, when used
aright is not beneficial to the com'
munity as a whole, but Is Indispensa
ble to the upbuilding of the country,
He decried the general condemna
tion of wealth. Where great corpor
ate wealth is not used aright, he
said, legislative and executive pow
ers should be exercised. The first
exercise of that power should bo pub
licity, and when that was attained It
would be possible to see what further
should bo done to curb the trusts.
