By the Introduction of an ordinance
providing for the Installation of Iron
fire-proof boxes in each of the 10

At present the only theater In the
city which has Its machine and build
ing protected a fire-proof box is

There has never been a fire In Pen
dleton caused by one of the machines,
but they are regarded as dangerous In

companies.

the Warren Construction company,
told the council last evening that hi

MONSTER
TO GUARD TRACK
O. R. & N. MAKES PERMANENT
, IMPROVEMENTS TO LINE.
Summer Season Will Be Used In Pro
tecting Roadbed Along Me oil am
Creek With Rojk Weighing From
Ono to Five Tons Would Prevent
Periodical and Disastrous Washouts
Heavy Rails Being Laid on Moun
tain DIvlHlon.
If rocks weighing from one to five
tons each are able to resist the waters
of Meacham creek, the O. R. A-N.
company will be troubled no more
with washouts of Its grade along the
creek In the Blue 'mountains.
A steam shovel and work train are
now employed In getting out massive
rock weighing all the way from one
to five tons as foundations for the
grade which is being built at the
washouts and practically all of the
grade recently destroyed will be re
placed with this heavy material In the
hope that a permanent foundation
may be secured.
' A monster steam shovel Is at work
in a rock quarry near Meacham and
the side of the mountain Is being
blasted out In securing rock for the
work.
The work of repairing the grade In
this substantial manner will require
practically all of the summer season
and a work train will be kept busy
hauling rock and other material for
the repairs.
If It were possible to change the
grade to higher ground at the places
where the track was damaged, this
would be done, but there Is no room
In the narrow canyon for a change.
Consequently the company Is deter
mined to make a permanent grade
and will use every device known to en
gineering to prevent the periodical
washout In the Meacham creek can
yon. The work of laying heavier steel on
the mountain Is also progressing rap
Idly and soon the roadbed of the O. R.
& X. on the Blue mountains will be
a model of railroad building.
' Rnby Goes to Europe.
A. C. Ruby, president of the Com
mercial National bank of this city and
the well known horse Importer, will

Shire horses for the northwest mar
kets. The shipment which he will
bring over this time will include about
100 head of high grade horses and
will arrive sometime during the com
ing summer. Mr. Ruby will exhibit
this shipment of horses In the fall fair
circuit and has leased a portion of
the famous Ladd stock farm near
Portland as headquarters.

pable young man, will address the citi
zens of this city on the tax amendment

will make a tour of eastern Oregon in
the Interest of the tax amendment.
All are cordially Invited to attend the
address, which will be made from
the court house steps. If the weather
will permit.
Fire Alarms Needed.
The need of a fire alarm system
was oiKie more demonstrated this
morning when the department was
called out to quench a chimney blaze
at the home of Jesse Saling on Cos
bls street between Court and Alta. Not
knowing exactly where the fire was,
the department kept on west on Alta
until the limits of the city were
reached. They then turned and came
back and were still looking for the
conflagration at last reports. A long,
hard run would have been avoided
with an up to date alarm system.
O. R. & N. Orridnls Tlirough.
A party of p.R. & N. officials

I OCT SAFE AT ARLINGTON.
Robbers Work Combination and Gc
$70 from Balfour Guthrie.
Arlington, May 21. On entering tho
office of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. this
morning, Henry Thlssen, local man
ager of the company, discovered the
snfe open and the cash drawer gone.
That the perpetrators of the deed
were experts Is shown by the fatt that
they worked the combination. They
then pried out the cash drawer con
taining about $70 and made good their
escape. Checks were not taken.
Marshal Gray was notified as soon
as the robbery was discovered, but at
a late hour had not succeeded In find
ing any trace of the thieves. The only
clue so far is the fact that some boy
saw two suspicious characters near
the warehouse at dark yesterday evening.
