Fire Department Matters

Yesterday two of Elko's prominent
citizens spoke ITO US regarding the dis
organized condition of the fire depart
ment and the steps necessary to place it
on fire-fghting basis. Both thought
that a meeting of citizens should be
called and steps taken to reorganize on
a basis that would make the depart
ment more effective and at the same
time create better feeling among the
members of the hose companies.
Both suggested that someone should
be employed and paid by the town to
keep the fire plugs and apparatus in
order. Another suggestion was that
the members of each hose company be
compelled to register their names in a
book, provided for that purpose and
kept in the fire house, after each fire and
that each fireman so registered should
be paid 50 for every fire by the town
board upon the certificate of the fore
man of the company.
This suggestion is worthy of consider
alton by every property holder. AS it
Is now the young men who do the
towns fire fighting often ruin their
shoes, hats and other articles, of cloth
ing and are compelled to purchase others
at their own expense. This is not fair
to the boys. They should either be re-
imbursed out of a fund provided for
that purpose or they should be paid a
stated sum for their services at each
fire.
The town is taxed to pay for the use
of the fre-plugs, but this money is
thrown away if we do not maintain
we'll equipped fire companies and keep
the fire-plugs and apparatus in con-
dition for instant use. Without these,
the property owners derive but little
benefit from the taxes they pay to the
water company for the privilege of
using the fre-plugs in case of fire.

RACES THIS AFTERNOON.

SAN DIEGO, April 1S.-With un-
abated enthusiasm the sailors from the
big fleet continue to "whoOp it up
ashore today and the streets, which
were thronged with sailormen and
friends all night, were filled again
to Overfiowing this morning.
The event of today's program is the
boat races to be rowed this afternoon.
Four races are carded with a silver
cup up on each. An automobile parade,
followed by an informal reception is
another number on the program. To-
night the fireworks will take the crowd
to the water front again.
1t was discovered today that the
sailors have entered into a curious
agreement in relation to spending
money. Instead of bringing all they
have with them, they deposit all except
a certain per cent
This is San Diegos share. Another
slice will be taken at Los Angeles and
more at other ports. They intend by
this system to make the money last till

BUGGY pEDLERS
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY SAYS
THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN OUT
REUIRED LICENSES.

That home Industries are not to be
heedlessly encroached upon is evident
from the action of the prosecuting at
torney, VINO this morning swore out
complaints for John Doe and Richard
Roe, charging them with peddling
buggies in the county without having
license from the auditor for so doing.
They have no place of business in the
county and have had none and for this
reason it is alleged license is neces-
sary if they wish to compete with local
merchants.
This annual influx of buggy peddlers
representing their goods to be the best
and their terms to be the easiest, is
declared by dealers to be one of the
greatest menaces the local trade has to
contend with. Every year they flood the
country with their goods, which they
claim are the best on earth, and yet
when taxes are paid OH their buggies
they swear that As of them are worth
but $500 They canvass the country
thoroughly and with the speech Of

CAPITALISTS PLAN
ELECTRIC LINE
PROPOSED ROUTE is FROM PEND
LEToN TO iRRIGoN, TOUCHING
RICH IRRIGATED DISTRICTS.

Concerning a projected electric line
from Perdleton to Irrigon, under con-
sideration by DR.. Coe and others inter-
ested in big irrigation projects. the
East Oregonian of yesterday says:
That preliminary survey has been
made and other steps taken towards
the construction of an electric line
from Pendleton to Irrigon was an
nourced here last evening by DR.. H. w.
Coe, who came up from Portland
with party on the evening train
According to DR.. Coe, definite plans
for the electric road, have not been
worked out yet. but the thing is being
investigated in earnest ard the pros
pect of a trolley line through the irrf-
gated section is more than dream.
That the irrigated section in the west
end, composed of the lands under the
East Umatilla project. the Furnish Coe
project and other private bitches, is on
the edge of a great development is
firmly believed by DR.. Coe Up to this
time the land under the Furnish ditch
has been selling at a rate much faster
than was anticipated and he says the
project will be sold out within -
months
The settlement of the irrigated Sec
tions, he says. will make an electric
line not only profitable, but almost i'm
perative. The entire section between
Echo and Irrigon will be densely settled
and an electric line will be necessary to
carry the products to market.
1t is the belief of DR.. Coe that Pen
dleton is to remain as the hub Of Una
tilla county and that the development
of the west end will strengthen the
business prestige of this city. He says
that the electric line as now pro-
posed will start from this place and ex-
tend through the irrigated section OF
Irrigon by way of Umatilla, touching
at Echo, Foster and Hermiston en-
! route.

The union already owns a coal mine

been turning out 100 tons per day. This
coal is supplied the members at a
saving of 81 per ton, and in addition
the mine paid d profit of 100 per cent
on the investment. Preparations are
now being made to add improved
equipment and increase the output to
400 tons a day
1t also owns d wOolen mill at Albu-

are stockholders, and many of them
