mi-rclal club is earnestly backing the
movement lo secure motor trucks
thousands of which are lu the pos
session of tho spruco production ill
vIhIoii.
Tho means of disponing of the
trucks ns first planned Is for tbu
solo of the cars to private Individ
uals. W. C. Illrdsull of Ilend. writ
ing to State Representative Hen
Sheldon, pointed out, however, that
this plan would bring In a compara
tively small amount of money, while
by turning over the trucks to the
various status for highway or other
stntn work a vast amount of good
would bo done for tho peoplo und
thu country at large.
In connection with the question
brought up, Iho Commercial club re
ceived a letter yesterday from Repro
sentntlvo Sheldon staling that' ho
would turn tho matter over to the
stnto highway commission. Tho club,
however. !s not satisfied with this
disposition of tho caso, and. In an
swering urges that It bo taken up
at onco in tho legislature.
Mr. Ulrdsall's Interest In the mat
tor was' stimulated bf a recent con
versation with Major Campbell of
tho spruco division In Portland, In
which tho army officer stated that
ho wan nnxlous that the trucks ho
turned over to tho states to aid, In
road Improvement.

MADK, SAYS (iARAGK MUX.
Heated criticism by Chief of Police
L. A. W. Nixon as to the service
given by the garage which has charge
of the city Are equipment, was given
today as the sequel to the fire which
last night destroyed the home of
James Rottreil in Park addition. The
blaze .started from unknown causes
while Mr. Rottreil was attending the
Shrine party at tho Masonic templo,
Insurance covered the building, but
the furniture was a total loss.
According to Mr. Nixon, M. D.
Knloe, proprietor of the Modern
Garage, where the lire truck Is kept
could not be reached by telephone
calls sent In by people living near the
Bottrell house, for thirty minutes
after tho fire broke out. After the
truck finally arrived, Mr. Nixon
says, tho hose .was- found to bo too
short and tho garage man was ord
ered to wait at the scene of the fire
until more could be procured. In
stead of this, however, tho truck was
driven buck to the garage, tho driver
refusing to return to tho fire after
Mr. Nixon had procured 150 feot
more- hose. . Another . drlvor ' was
found at last, the possible spread of
the Are prevented and the truck was
returned to tho gnrage nt 3 o'clock
this morning.
Mr. Enloo was Interviewed this
morning and stated that ho had made
no agreement with tho city to act as
drlvor for tho truck, having refused
to renew tho contract made with
R. II. Doynrmond when the garage
changed hands last (spring , He de
clared that when ho had gono out
to the fire last night ho hud been
Instructed by Chief of Police Nixon
to remain until Night Officer Frank
Oulp nppenred, and that ho had fol
lowed his Instructions. Afterward,
ho said, he hnd heon culled up by Mr.
Kulp. who ordered him to bring the
truck Uuek to tho fire. His question
as lo tho reason for tho order was
answered In nn insulting manner by
tho officer, he said, and hecnit.su of
tills he refused 10 make the socond
trip.
MADE OF TIN
It Is the first unbiased report of
these conditions, made by a man se
lected by responsible authority to
conduct a thorough inquiry.
The picture Dr. Taylor drew is
one of closed factories, stilled in
dustries and streets filled with hun
gry, unemployed men and women.
The factories are" there, and the
workers, but there Is no raw ma
terial on which to go to work.
The Czecho-Slavs, however, remain
undismayed. Dr. Taylor says, and
huve established a strong govern
ment. Therev is no factionalism In
this new republic, but a strong feel
ing of nationalism which is bound to
pull the people through their time
of trial, provided some assistance is
furnished.
"The people of the world must
realize," said Dr. Taylor, "that four
or Ave divided parts of Austria-Hungary
must be dealt with entirely
apart from Germany. They have
nothing to do with Germany. The
Czecho-Slavs, of course, furnish the
best known example. They never
sympathized with Germany or with
German Austria, and thousands of
them were shot by the Austrian gov
ernment because of their opposition
to tho war. M. Krmaracz, present
Czecho-Slav premier, was in prison
26 months, under sentence of death,
because of his anti-Austrian atti
tude. "After more than 100 years of op
pression, the Czecho-Slavs now see
the realization of their national
