BIDS FOR ENGINES
THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS ASK
COUNCIL TO ADVERTISE
WORK OF Improvement BEGUN
The Suns Rays Causes Fire in Store
Window-Oil Boring Privileges
Granted

The first definite and successful step to-
ward securing the much -talked-of improve
ment in the condition Of the local fire de-
partment, since the passage Of the fire i'm
provement bonds on May 26, was taken
yesterday by Chief Moore, when he ap.
peared before the fire commissioners and
asked the board to request the council to
advertise for bids for certain apparatus as
provided for in the bond issue.
The chief stated that in order to start the
good work as promptly as possible he would
advise that the council be requested to first
direct its attention to the matter of supply
ing the departments with five new fire en-
gines, to cost in all about $25,000 These,
he said, the city was in sore need of.
Under the plan of improvement as
adopted by the council the department is to
be supplied with three grades of engines,
as to size only, all of which are to be of first
grade of workmanship. Two are to be of
frst-class size, two of second grade and one
of third grade. The latter will be designed
especially for the hill districts of the city.
Three of the others will be for two new
companies that are to be organized, and one
of the first class is to take the place of one
of the engines that has been in service in
the city for over twenty five years. The
old engine will be used as relief.
In selecting the engines particular atten-
ton will be paid to the delivery capacity.
Owing to the rapid increase in the number
of high buildings, the first class engines to
be used in the business portion of the city
will require delivery forty per cent better
than those in use at the present time. 1t
is estimated that $50 gallons a minute will
be the proper capacity for the first grade,
$50 for the second and 900 for the third.
The general shake-up that will overtakc
the department when the reform measures
are enforced will, it is believed, leave the
department in a position where improve
ment will be almost impossible under ex-
isting circumstances.
At Fridays meeting of the board of
public works the bids for engine house sites,
received by the council Monday, will be in
vestigated, and, it is stated, sent back to
the council to be referred to the fire CON-
mission. AS there are over $50 bids to con-
slider, and as most of them are far in excess
of the market value, few recommendations
are looked for in the report of the board of
public works.

A Lively Fight

Ben Lewis of San Francisco and Kid Park
er of Boston will meet at Turner hall this
evening in a l5-round go for percentage
OF the gate receipts. The fight is to be held
under the management of the Manhattan
club, which has given sd many good con-
tests in this city. The men are to weigh
lao pounds at noon. Both are plucky,
clever men and an exciting contest is likely
Three preliminaries have been arranged.
Two will be for six rounds each and the
other of four rounds. This last fight is ex
pected to be lively, as the contestants are
to settle an old grudge, and both are de-
termined to get the decision if possible,
within the rather limited space of time al
lowed them. Kid Williams and Frank Nc
Carthy will box six rounds, as will Young
Ftzsimmons and Young Gallagher, both
contests being for decision. The prelim.
inaries will start at 8 o'clock.

FURLoUGHED FROM MANILA
Corporal J. D. Pulliam Tells of Sol
diering There

Corporal J. D. Pulliam of Company B,
Eighteenth regular infantry, who spent yes
terday in this city, is one of the only three
men released from Manila on furlough, save
for sickness. Mr.. Pulliam's four months
furlough was awarded him because he re-
enlisted when his term of enlistment ex-
pired on the eve of war, April 18th. Sergeant
Stork of Company E and Sergeant Brady of
Company G have the other two furloughs.
When Corporal Pulliam left Manila, Sept.
Goth, about 900 of the $4,000 troopers were
in the hospital with dysentery and typhoid,
and two day were dying. The weather was
very hot and rainy. Sickness was more prev
alent when the boys came into the town,
with its fruit and other temptations. They
would not take care of themselves.
There was no complaint of superior Of
fcers. The volunteers complained of their
food, but the regulars expected hard
"chuck." Much trouble was caused by the
importation into camp of a quantity of
rotten canned goods, the fault of govern
ment contractors.
Corporal Pulliam took part in the land
skirmishes of July 3lst, Aug. lst and Aug.
18th and escaped uninjured. He has photo.
graphs Of the American breastworks, show
ing convent shattered by Spanish shot lust
back of the Americans. Only eight Ameri
cans were killed In the opinion of the
soldiers, none need have died, as the city
might easily have been captured by water
but the officers of the infantry were anxious
to emulate Dewey's achievement.

FATHER YORKE HERE
He Remains in Seclusion at Bishop
Montgomery's Residence

Father Peter G. Yorke arrived here yes
terday from San Francisco, coming on the
afternoon train. He went at once to the
episcopal residence of Bishop Montgomery
and there refused to see any callers. To
Father Yorke is credited the turning of San
Francisco from Mcguire to Gage, in conse-
quence of the letter he published last week,
favoring the latter candidate and attacking
Mr.. Phelan, the candidate for mayor.
Father Yorke has an immense power with
the members of his church there having
won their confidence by his courage. and
conscientious espousal of the theories he be-
lieves in. He has long been editor of the
Monitor, which he has lifted from the posi-
tlon of church paper to one of general in
terest and circulation by his vigorous edi
tor;lls.
Father Yorke has started on his way to
the east tor a years vacation and it is said
may go to Europe and Rome before he re-
turns

OIL BORING PERMITS GRANTED
Chief Moore Reports Ten Fires for the
Week-The Sun Causes One

"SCA- Il LAG 0uu OduSeS Oue
Permission was yesterday granted by the
Yukon Oil company by the. board of fire
commissioners to bore for oil on lots to 8,
of Block j, of the Knob Hill tract. The
board granted the permit on the recommen-
dation of Fire Chief Moore, with the under
standing that the permit applied only to
those sections of the lots that were outside
of the 1600-foot boundary of the Westlake
oil limit.
Chief Moore said he had investigated the
boards right to grant boring privileges on
lot, half of which was within the oil district
and half without, and had ascertaned that
the ordinance relating to block boundaries
does not apply to any portion of a block
within the l6OO-foot park protection. The
property in this case is owned by I. w.
Phelps, and it was at his request the oil
company was given the permit.
NJ. L. Hanson will have to wait another
week before he succeeds in securing the
boards help in collecting bill of $40 from
Fireman Jack Springer of the North Main
street engine company. Yesterday his bill
for $40, which he claims is due for room rent
was again presented, and the matter referred
to the chief with instructions to investi-
gate.
Chief Moore reported ten fires as the total
for the week ending yesterday. On the
morning of the 9th, he reported, fire was
discovered in the window of ]. w. Whit
ley's jewelry store on North Spring, and,
strange to say, the suns rays was respon-
sible for the conhagration. The window
has an east exposure, and on that morning
was unprotected from the bright sunlight,
as the awning was drawn up. Tt so han
pened that there was powerful magni-
flying glass in the window that caught the
suns rays as they stfeamed through the
plate glass, at the proper angle to contract
them into one little needle of fire. This
shaft was directed at silk parasol, causing
the silk to ignite. The fire quickly spread
to other perishable articles, and by the time
the department arrived over $50 worth of
property had been destroyed.
The councils resolutions calling attention
to the matter of organizing colored fire
department was received and referred to the
reorganization committee.

Another Assessment Error Found

Another mistake in the assessment roll
was reported yesterday in a communication
sent to the city clerk by M. A. Wilcox and
r. H. Miner. These gentlemen claim that
there has been an erroneous assessment on
the improvements of lot l3 in the Severance
tract. The Improvements consist of stable.
which was bought from F. K Rule for $40
and afterwards sold for 500. The city's as
sessment this year vauled the improvement
at $50, therefore the kick.

stated that he had been attacked with sick
ness while at the city market and feeling
faint, took off his coat and laid down for
time upon bale of hay. The owner of the
hay was not apparently of kindly disposi-
tion, for he objected to Burns resting on his

REWARD!
VIRTUE HAS IT'S OWN REWARD.

Rear Admiral Dewey has done him
self proud in the Philippines and earn
ed for himself the deserving title Of
'Rear Admiral"
This store is also anxious to earn
a deserving title from the public; a
title of merit, that carries with it the
name of having meritorious goods at
popular prices.
In order to do this it is necessary
to be more than careful in the selec-
lions of goods-be cautious-knowing
what the public tastes are we have used
the precaution to import only first-class
qualities in desings and materials such
as are salable in the best markets of
the world. No dead stock is wanted
or bought by us, no matter what the
inducements. Still goods will some
times accumulate faster than antici-
pated-they must be disposed of even
at a sacrifice-that what we are doing
now-sacrifcing few dollars-you de-
rive the benefit.
Don't fail to visit this store during
the renovation sale-you will agree
with us that it point you to do so.
