FOUR SMALL FIRES.
Department Kept Busy Between Mid
night and Morning.


The fire department received a call this
morning about o'clock from box 254, and
found a slight blaze in the furnace room
at the house of Mrs. Mary Robinson, 1869
10Th street northwest. A pile of rubbish in
the room caught fire, but the blaze was ex-
tinguished before more than s25 damage had
been done. When the call was received the
firemen feared there would be a big con-
fagration because of the high wind and
were agreeably surprised when they found
there was only a Slight blaze in the base
ment of the house.
alarm was turned in from box 217 to sum-
mon the fire department to the house of
Ira A. Smith, 141S Sth street northwest.
The fire started in the kitchen, and the
occupants of the house had time to dress
and leave the structure without causing any
excitement. So much Roadway had been
gained by the time the firemen responded
that the upper part of the structure was
damaged. The total damage amounted to
about 500. The origin of the fire is not
known.
About 12:45 o'clock this morning the de-
partment received summons from box
S45 and found that leaves in fence cor
ner at 10th and Park streets. Mount Pleas
burned, but no other damage was done.
One of four calls received by the depart
ment between midnight and morning came
from box 239, located at 18th and v streets.
This proved a false alarm, and there was
nothing to do but make an effort to find
the person who had violated the law. He
has not yet been apprehended.

the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,

an auxiliary, known as the Ladies Society

It was organized by Mrs. Frank p. Sar-

immigration.
The auxiliary was represented at the Buff
falo session by several hundred members,
and Mrs. Sargent was again elected grand
president, having held the position since
1898. She was given royal and cordial
welcome by the ladies present in Conven-
ton Hall, where she delivered the opening
address and read her annual report.

REVENGE FOR CRITICISM
w. L. Lively Defeats Candidate Be-
cause He Was not Allowed to Sing.

SEATTLE, Aug. because w. l..
linda would no let him there grew up a
personal feud that kept Mr.. Vanolinda
ton for state representative from the
Fortieth district. OF course Mr.. Van
olinda committed the indiscretion of
working republican politics, but that
story would not have come out but for
Mr. Livesly's activity.
Mr.. Livesly is a Vashon Island poll
teal leader and a veteran Of the civil
war. At one time he was populist
worker, but he went into the fusion
movement eight years ago and drifted
thorough democrat now and thai
gave MIN the edge in his fighe against
Mr.. Vanolinda.
Two years ago the democratic con-
vention was looking for a candidate for
assessor. lnorc were one or TWO
available men, but because their dele
cations did not keep faith they were
impossible to other democratic lead
ers. About the time that the nomin-
alton was to be made Mr.. Livesly arose
to make speech on the question of
subscriptions to a democratic weekly
paper. Before he could recover from
the effort the convention fastened the
nomination Of assessor unto him.
In the campaign that followed Mr..
Livesly wanted to sing at the demo-
cratic meetings. He had a chance, but
voters protested they did not want mu-
sic; they wanted talk. The commit
tee called him off and he charged this
up to Mr.. Vanolinda, remembering his
experiences of the past when his vocal
organs ached for action.

,,,u MING OF THE PORTAGE
ROAD AT CELLO is VERY
UNCERTAIN.
The Problem Is Badly Tangled, the
Solution Of Which Is Nearly
Unknown.
Saturdays OreGonian says:

Saturdays Oregonian says:
The status of the portage road at
The Dalles is a shadowy thing. and
whether it will be built, and when, are
matters that seem to be in the hands of
the state portage commission, the fed
eraI government and of Providence.
Major w. c. Langfitt, chief Of the Unit
ed States Engines office here, has
something to say in the matter, since
his recommendation to the government
at Washington will practically decide
the fate of the scheme.
Governor George Z. Chamberlain,
Secretary Of State Frank 1. Dunbar and
State Treasurer Frank S. Moore, con-
shutting the state board Of portage
commissioners, met yesterday morning
with the members Of the open river
committee of the Portland chamber of
commerce and with the executive board
of the Open-river commission which
was formed at The Dalles last May.
The representatives of the latter body
were: DR.. n. G. Blalock, of Walla Wal
la; john A. Smith and Judge n. ]. Mar
iner Oh Blalock; Joseph Peters, of The
Dalles, and a. Mel. Hawks. an engineer
of Tacoma, who had made a study Of
the condition surrounding the construc-
ton of the portage road. The first
committee was represented by Henry
Hahn and A. H. Devers.
At the morning session the whole
question of the portage road was dis
cussed, its construction, the securing
of the right of way. the cost and feast
bility, and it was found that the prob
lem is a badly tangled one. the So
luton of which s nearly unknown.
In the first place, the state board has.
in its capacity of the Cello Canal Com
mission, been paying more attention to
the right of way for the canal than for
the road. 1t has been necessary. in
order to meet the demands of the gov
eminent. to secure the right of way for
the canal as soon as possible. ana this
has been the aim of the commission
This right of way is now practically
Hsecured.
That is one place where the shoe
pinches; another is in the opposition Of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company to the portage road project,
and the other is in the fact that be-
tween the right of way for the canal
and that of the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, there is no room
for the portage road unless it climbs
the mountain side.
The railroad company has made con-
cessions to the canal project. reluct-
antly. it is true and between them all
of the available roadbed in the vicinity
is taken. The railroad company intends
in a short time to straighten its track
in The Dalles- Cello country and to do
away with as many of the curves as
possible. The canal has practically Sc

canal, it is supposed, is to be built
through the center of the right of way
If this is so there will be room for the
road along one side Such is the con-
tention of the delegates yesterday be-
the road is needed for immediate use,
that it would be of advantage to the
it is temporary expedient that can
be replaced by the permanent institu-
of advantage to have both the road
and the canal. 1t is also urged that
the development of the Inland Empire
calls for the building of the road and
the opening of the river.
The board admitted all these things,
is in favor of the construction of the
road, and will help the project in any
way possible, but it has to first put
the question up to the federal govern
ment, and if it is agreeable there, to
refer it to the owners of the right of
way granted to the canal. The canal
right of way was secured from the
people along the line of the proposed
works for the supposed construction of
canal, and was granted to the use of
the government for that purpose. 1t is
thus in the province of the govern
ment to say whether Or not it will al
low the construction of the road over
the property it has acquired If it
consents and the primary owners of
the land object, for any reason, to the
portage road, there will be trouble
over it's building.
These conclusions are the results of
the meeting held yesterday. The board
of commissioners is willing to help the
road if the government is willing to al
low the use of it's right of way, and if
the grantors Of the ground will per-
nit.
Senator Mitchell was visited by the
Inland Empire delegation, and it is
reported has promised to cooperate
with them in anything feasible tend
ing to the construction of the road.
Major w. c. Langfitt was also con-
suited by the full representation which
met the state board, and the question
was again gone over. Personally, it is
stated, the government engineer is in
favor of the use of the right Of way
by the portage road, but what his
recommendation to the government
will be depends on future investigation.
If the road can be built without inter-
fering with the construction Of the ca
nal, and if it will make no difference
to the granters of the right of way, in
all proba bility the recommendation of
Mr.. Langfitt will be favorable to the
project, otherwise it will be against
The delegates are much encouraged
as the result of their conferences and
think that the difficulties will be over
come. They think that the right of
way will be secured because the peo-
pie realize that the portage road is
an immediate necessity, while the ca
nal is u thing of the future, They
making further efforts for their project
when they will submit it to the recon-
mendition of the engineer, the board of
commissioners and the federal govern
ment. with hopes of success.
