At the meeting last night the fire limit was extended to include the block burned last, week, the ringing of the curfew was abolished and con iderable routine business transacted. Owing to the absence of the elec tric lights the meeting last night was a sombre assembly for the lights wer of the primitive order. However, the mayor and six councllmen were on hand and the deliberations did not seem to be greatly affected by the darkness. That the ordinance extending the fire limits would be brought up was known In advance and the passage ot the measure caused no surprise. As a result of the ordinance those who rebuild In the burned block will have to erect buildings of brick or con crete. It was Councilman Stroble who eb jected to the ringing of the curfew and he declared that at present the sounding of the fir.e gong frightens everyone excepting the small boys, for whom Its' terror Is Intended. For the ptesent at least, the curfew will be omitted, though small boys will still be required to go homeward when It becomes dark. tpon the recommendation of the fire committee It was decided to buy an extension ladder for the fire de partment and the sum of $50 wa voted to pay the expenses of Fire Chief Vaughan to the firemen's con. ventlon to be held at Vancouver.

Soon New Col or Is Much Preferred by the Men, Returning from the maneuver grounds at American Lake two bat talions of the Idaho national guard passed through here this morning. They are traveling by special train and it stopped here for a half hour or longer while the men swarmed about the city, many of them taking breakfast In the city. The Idaho regiment has just fin tshed 10 days of work at American lake and the officers and men all de dare they enjoyed the ' maneuvers greatly. The regiment was camped on the same ground where the Ore gon regiments camped. Other gardsmen at the lake at the same time were the Montana and Dakota regiments, each with It com panles. The Idaho regiment also had three battalions, the other battalion being from the north end of the state and therefore required to go home over the Northern Pacific. The Idaho regiment has already re ceived the olive drab service uniform which Is shortly to be Issued to all the guard regiments of the. United States. However they received them too latte to have them Issued In time for the encampmetn. It Is known that the Oregon regl ments will be given the drab uniform shortly and when they are received the guardsmen will then be fully equipped with the same arms and clothing as the regulars and they will be In shape to take the field any time they might be called 'out At the present time, the khaki con stitutes the service uniform for the enlisted men and It Is considered good only during warm weather. If call ed out In the winter time the guards men not supplied with the drab uni form would have to wear the blue, which Is not good for service. WHEAT TO CALIFORNIA. Crazy Negro Runs Amuck.

The race was novel in its condl' tions, which placed the horses a. marks one-fourth to three-eights of a mile behind the usual starting point on a handicap based on their previous performances and at the conclusion it appeared to be the general opinion of all who saw the two preliminary heats and the grand finals that this system of racing would be popular In the future. It was the first race in which Allen Winter had trotted this year and Lou McDonald, his driver, sized up the field In the two preliminary heats. In the first he watched 16 horses placed at marks from 1320 to 1370 feet be hind the usuul starting line sweep once and a quarter round the track to a grand finish with Bervaldo In the lead. In the second heat with his own horse 1570 feet from the .wire and 6870 feet to travel, he pushed Allen Winter carefully but surely past three other horses and kept ahead of the others, finishing a good, third. The first heat had been run off at a 2:08 gait for the mile, but the sec-" ond was a few seconds slower. Thei came the battle for final honors and the mbnoy, with 16 well known trot ters In the field, the fastest being Sweet Marie, 2:05.
