known in advance and the passage or
the measure caused no surprise. As
result of the ordinance those who
rebuild in the burned block will have
to erect buildings of brick or con-
crete.
It was Councilman Stroble who OBJ,
jected to the ringing of the curfew
and he declared that at present the
sounding Of the fire gong frlghtens
everyone excepting the small boys, for
whom its terror is intended. For the
present at least, the curfew will be
omitted, though small boys will stin
be required to go homeward when It
becomes dark.
Upon the recommendation of the
fire committee 1t was decided to buy
an extension ladder for the fire de,
partment and the sum Of $50 was
voted to pay the expenses of Fire
Chief Vaughan to the firemen's con-
vention to be held at Vancouver.

IDAHO COMPANIES
RETURNING HOME
GUARDSNIEN ENJOYED OUT
ING AT AMERICAN LAKE
New Service Uniforms Are Now Worn
by the Idaho Companies-COlor Is
Olive Drab and Will Be Issued TO
Oregon Guartlsmen SOon-New Col
or Is Much Preferred by the Men.

Returning from the maneuver
grounds at American Lake two bat
tallons OF the Idaho national guard
passed through here this morning.
They are travelling by special train
and 1t stopped here for half hour
or longer while the men swarmed
about the city, many of them taking
breakfast in the city.
The Idaho regiment has Just fin
ished 10 days Of work at American
lake and the officers and men all de-
clare they enjoyed the maneuvers
greatly. The regiment was camped
on the same ground where the Ore
gon regiments camped.
Other gardsmen at the lake at the
same time were the Montana and
Dakota regiments, each with ~ COM
panies, The Idaho regiment also had
three battalions, the other battalion
being from the north end of the
state and therefore required to go
home over the Northern Pacific.
The Idaho regiment has already re-
ceived the olive drab service uniform
which is shortly to be issued to all
the guard regiments of the United
States. However they received them
too latte to have them issued In time
for the encampmetn.
1t is known that the Oregon regl-
ments will be given the drab uniforms
shortly and when they are received
the guardsmen will then be fully
equipped with the same arms and
clothing as the regulars and they will
be in shape to take the field any time
they might be called out.
At the present time the khaki con-
stitutes the service uniform for the
enlisted men and 1t is considered good
only during warm weather. II call
ed out in the winter time the guards
men not supplied with the drab uni
form would have to wear the blue,
which is not good for service.

One of the most peculiar cases that

cal physicians for many years Is the
case of Miss Jennie Glasford of this

Glasford has been a sufferer with
throat trouble, her case was taken

her. This morning the case unravel>

small gold ring was. dislodged and
expelled from her throat. The ring
was small child's ring, but how II

Strange Clrcustances.

In a despondent frame of mind,
bordering on ALTERATION caused by
brooding over something more imag-
mary than real, Draper NJ, Dobbins,

near by went outside the PROSTATE
body OF the suicide lay on the
ground. The young man was Of an
eccentric turn of mind and very sem
sitive and at times indicated that he
might commit self destruction.

The woods and the streams near the

Interest there. The streams are OF

the reflection of the timber growing
close to the waters edge produces
some beautiful effects. It is not

NEW ERA IN TROTTING

thereby capturing the largest share
of the $50, 900 American trotting ham,
dicap from a field of S3 starters, is
believed by many of the 10000 fol-
lowers of harness racing who saw the
contest, to establish a new era in the
history OF the sport and insure its
rejuvlnation in this country.
The race was novel in its condi.
tlons, which placed the horses a,
marks one-fourth to three-elghts OF
a mile behind the usual starting point
on handicap based on their previous
performances and at the conclusion
1t appeared to be the general opinion
Of all who saw the two preliminary
heats and the grand finals that this
system of racing would be popular in
the future.
1t was the first race in which Allen
Winter had trotted this year and Lou
Mcdonald, his driver, sized up the
field in the two preliminary heats. In
the first he watched 16 horses placed
at marks from 1920 to 1870 feet be-
hind the usual starting line SWEEP
once and a quarter round the track
to a grand finish with Bervaldo in the
lead.
In the second heat with his own
horse 1870 feet from the wire and
6S70 feet to travel, he pushed Allen
Winter carefully but surely past three
other horses and kept ahead of the
others, finishing a good third.
The first heat had been run off at
a 2OS gait for the mile, but the Sec
ond was a few seconds slower. Then
came the battle for final honors and
the money, with 16 we'll known trot-
ters in the field, the fastest being

WHEAT TO CALIFORNIA.
Coast Vessels TO Supply Southern
Mills With Oregon Cereal.

1t is believed that considerable
wheat will be shipped from here to
California this season, more so than
last year. Preparations to handle the
grain are already unde way, it hav-
ing been announced that the steam
schooner st. Helens will be here soon
to take full cargo to San Francisco.
says the oregon Daily Journal. A
few days ago 1t was announced that
one of the Dollar liners under the
American flag, would be here shortly
to load wheat for California.
Year before last wheat shipments
were unusually heavy, a constant
stream of 1t going in steam schooners
and occasional large steamers Of
American registry. Cargoes measur>
ing as high as $500 tons were set
afloat occasionally and every regular
liner carried from 500 to 1000 tons
each trip.
Last year the shipments were not so
heavy, although the total was a re-
spectacle quantity. A couple of car
goes were shipped in sailing schoonerA
the Mindora and oliver Olson being
the craft engaged for each one voy'
age. If the lumber shipments show
a heavy increase during the winter
months, it is quite possible that a few
of the sailing vessels now lying idle
in the Columbia and at san Francisco
will be pressed into service.
