"sIX BIT COMPANIES.
Portland Puts Cheap Concerns on the
Blacklist.

On the book containing the list of
fire insurance policies carried by
Multnomah county on it's various
properties the figures as" are writ
ten opposite the names of IS COM
panies. while opposite the remainder
are written "s1, O. K.," says the Ore
gon Daily Journal.
This has been done as a guide to
the county court and commissioners
in renewing insurance, and Judge
Webster and Commissioners Barnes
and Lightner declare that no insur-
ance company that attempted to COM
promise losses from the San Fran
cisco fire at 10 cents on the dollar
will be given further business of the
county.
They have declared II to be their
intention to cancel all policies carried
in these companies promptly on expi-
ration.
I'VE intend to have the best there
is" said Commissioner Barnes this
morning, "and any company that re-
fused TO pay face value on San Fran
cisco policies will lose our business" ."
The Judge and commissioners say
they do not wish to accuse any COM
pany of belonging in the "six-bit'
category, but they accept the publish
ed reports of the actions taken by
these companies as prima facie evil
dence against them, and before they
will get any more county business
they will have to prove conclusively
to the judge and commissioners that
all San Francisco losses were paid in
full at 100 cents on the dollar.
The county carries about 100000
insurance on the bridges. the ferries

county poor farm buildings and other
county property.

HOT SPELL PERSISTENT.
Many People Escaping Heat by Co
ing to the Mountains.

That the hot spell is not over is
very evident from the manner in
which old Sol has boiled down upon
eastern Oregon during the past few
days. Those who were gullible
enough TO expect some mercy from
the heat after the warm days Just be-
fore and after the Fourth, have been
forced to abandon such hopes. Dur
ing the afternoon yesterday the tenn
perature reached a point as high, II
not higher than on the glorious
Fourth.
At o'clock in the Afternoon the 10
mark was passed on the east side OF
Main street. It was impossible to
secure the official record owing to
the fact that II. r. Johnson, weather
observer, and family. have been driven
to take refuge in the mountains.
Within the past few days dozens of
families have left the city to go to
the mountains, or sea coast to remain
during the torrid days. Many more
are preparing to leave tonight or to-
morrow, and there are indications
that Bingham Springs will be we'll pa
tronized tomorrow. In order to spend
Sunday away from the heat and dirt
of the city scores of people will leave
on the castbound trains tonight and
forced TO return in time for business
Monday will come back on No. to-
morrow night, or on No. 1 Monday.

WOMEN OPEN CAMPAIGN.
Active Work for the Equal Suffrage
Amendment Has Been Started in
Portland

The Oregon Equal Suffrage asso-
citation is already working on the
campaign for 1908. A meeting of
the executive committee has just been
held in Portland and active work on
the campaign has begun.
Thousands of booklets, pamphlets,
circulars and circular letters will be
printed and distributed over the state
during the next two years to keep the
issue alive and for educational pur-
poses. The national association will
lend all possible aid and It Is thought
that ny persistent work in the COM
ing two years that the amendment will
carry in the election of 1908.
The total vote for the amendment
at the recent election was 36,92S.
while the vote against It was 46,97s.
This is a favorable showing consld-
ering the bitter opposition which has
been exhibited in the past and the wo-
men feel that the outlook is highly
encouraging.

\ special dispatch to the Oregonian
from Washington, d. c., states that
| Fort Walla Walla will ultimately be
abolished and Secretary of War Taft
| is credited with making the statement.
Among other things the dispatch
says:
THE time is coming when we will
have to have large army post on
the north Pacific coast" said Secre-
tary Taft, in discussing the staff idea
of centralizing troops at few big
stations. 1--WE have had a board eX-
amining sites in Washington and
Oregon" continued the secretary,
and that board has reached the con-
clusion that the American Lake camp
situated near Tacoma, is the best To-
cation in that entire northwestern
country for permanent brigade post.
"Of course" he added, 1--WE will not
establish an army post at American
Lake in the immediate future. 1t will
be years before that post is establish
ed for there are other posts to be
built up first, and then We will have
TO look to congress for the money
necessary to buy large tract of land.
The American Lake site can be had
on very reasonable terms.
VIII Abandon Small Posts.
The general staff of the army long
ago conceived the idea of abandoning
a number of the smaller army posts
and concentrating the troops at few
well-selected stations.
Just what posts will ultimately be
abandoned has not been finally deter
mined, nor is it positively known what
posts will be enlarged.
with some few exceptions the
small posts will have to go, as the bri-
sade posts are built up. The loca-
ton of a brigade post at American
Lake will probably result in the
abandonment of Fort Walla Walla,
which is purely relic of old Indian
days, and there is a possibility, if not
a probability, that Fort Wright, near
Spokane, may also be dispensed with.
Vancouver VIII Remain Intact.
Vancouver barracks, however, is to
remain. Troops at Vancouver can
leave at short notice for any portion
of Oregon, Washington or Idaho, and
moreover can embark as really on
transports that come to the docks of
Portland, in case there is urgent need
for troops in Alaska or in the orient.
Boise barracks is one of the few
small posts that will probably be re
tanned under the reorganization. 1t
is the only garrison in Idaho and
serves a section Of country not read
lily reached from the forts in Wash
ington or Utah. From many points
of view a post in Idaho is demanded
NOT a brigade post, but a post that
will accommodate full battalion of
cavalry.

been approved by the secretary of the
interior. Upon two of these work is
we'll under way. The estimated cost
OF these four great works is $12,600,O0
and upon their completion depends the
reclamation of approximately 100000
acres of land. Thousands of barrels of
cement will be needed in their con-
struction and the service is naturally
greatly concerned in the output of this
material, as the present unpredecent-
ed demand for cement all over the west
is already taxing the capacity of the
mills throughout the country. Now
that splendid raw material for cement
has been found in Montana, the depart
ment is known to be seriously consid-
ering the advisability of installing a
cement plant at Havre.
This would not be an innovation be-
cause Uncle Sam is already makinghis
own cement in Arizona in connection
with certain irrigation projects in that
territory.
