.FAVORS MERIT PLAN
President Warner Urges Fire
Board to Examine Conditions

The board of fire commissioners last
night approved the numerous transfers
and promotions made in the department
because of the resignation of Arthur Mar
tin and the death of p. J. McDonough.
heretofore published, and concurred in
the appointment of three new men made
by Chief jackson. The appointments
were:
Charles O'Toole, vice William Proetz.
resigned, and assigned as second pipeman
at Engine Company No. z.
g. s. Wedding, vice p. j. McDonough.
deceased and assigned as hose driver
for Engine Company Mob.
J. w. Larkin, vice Arthur Martin, re-
signed, and assigned as driver of Chemi-
cal No. g.
In explaining the large number Of pro-
motions and transfers President Warner
said that it had been found that the rule
recently adopted did not work satisfac-
torily to all members of the department.
He thought the members of the board
should investigate for themselves and de-
termine if it is not advisable to make a
change at the end of the present fiscal
year. He believed that all captains lieu-
tenants, pipemen. ETC.. should receive the
same pay, Irrespective of the grade in
which they are; that members of the de-
partnfent stationed at outlying fire houses
should be given promotion without be-
ing compelled to accept downtown sta
tons.
He held that the latter provision is
necessary because some of the captains
in charge of the important stations are
becoming old and should be allowed to
take a less important and less laborious
station without being subjected to de-
crease in salary.
He also commented upon the fact that
until recently promotions had not been
made altogether upon length of service,
with the result that some of the older
men are now in grades below that in
which more recent appointees are to be
found.

NOW A BRITISH
WARSHIP is BUSY

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept 14.-H. NJ.
S. Grafton, flagship of the Pacific
squadron, which left here some days
ago to get her annual heavy gun prac-
tice at Comox, returned unexpectedly
to Esquimalt early Tuesday, making
the trip from Comox to her Esquimalt
mornings under forced draught, and
in record time. She is now in Esqui-
malt harbor making ready for sea and
will not finish her gun practice at pres
ent.
The cause of the Grafton's return
from the trip from Comox is connect
ed with the sudden appearance of the
Russian armed auxiliary cruiser Lena
in San Francisco. 1t is understood the
Grafton is under cabled orders from the
British admiralty to protect British
shipping on the American side of the
Pacific at all costs. It depends upon
the decision of the United States gov
eminent regarding the Lena whether
the Grafton will proceed south to
watch her and if any British merchant
men be molested capture and sink her.
Should the American governments de-
cision be an order to the Lena to quit
San Francisco harbor within twenty
four hours, it is expected the Grafton
will leave Esquimalt harbor at her best
speed with the object of intercepting
the Russian off the California coast

OF way to the willamette Valley Eiec-
trlc road. II was done at a special

structed and In operation within two
years, Cars must run each way al
least once In "a hours. unless prevented
by strikes or other influences beyond

any of the above is denomnated suf-
ficient reason for forfeiture of fran
chise and right OF way,
The right of way is TO be fifteen feet
In the state road except where there
are sidings or switching places, and
then II is to be 20 feet. But In all
cases the amount of road left for the
use of vehicles must be at least 80
feet A complete survey of the line
must be made at the expense of the
company, and to be filed with the petit
tion, showing the limits of the road and
the line of the railroad. and before

NATURE SPARES


A.N SsAASAGA Ae~4G ENSAA NkAGAs
What fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be Its
grief to discover, in the height Of its
blooming glory. that q canker fed at It's
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she Is a veritabie
store-house OF pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
Of young women. but thanks to the in
vestigations Of scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction Is now known to be
germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
