STALLIONS AND JACKS

A. G. Ruby, breeder and dealer
in horses at Portland, today filed a
complaint with the Oregon Railroad
Commission against the transporta-
tion rates charged by the o. r. G N.

ignored and the fight go on; started
a row in which the, excitement ran so
high that an infuriated property hold
er leaped from the spectators portion
of the chamber and into the arena,
and begged the council to allow him
to have a hand in it; started a row
which brought Councilman Green
baum to his feet to protest against
this same property owner addressing
the council as he had called him bad
names over the telephone; a row
which probably would have been rag
ing yet had not Councilman Green
baum left his seat, picked up his hat,
and left the council chamber, leaving
the council without a quorum.
Why He Objected.
81 would like to inquire, said
Councilman Lachmund-tha always

to whether under the reports of
special commit ees the report of the
council as a whole on the improve
ment of North Front street can be
considered"
Acting Mayor Stoltz kindly muir
INJURED a disapproval, but some one
made a motion that the subject be
considered, and this was followed
up with a motion made by Council
man Johnson that the contractor be
paid the full price for this improve
ment work which had been the
recommendation of the city engineer
and street committee several weeks
ago, but against the adoption of
which a special committee appointed
to examine the street had registered
a vigorous protest. That brought the
subject before the council and in
cidentally Councilman Lachmund to
his feet TO set forth the view Of the
special committee.
Il object, he began, Ito the con-
tractors being awarded the full con-
tract price for the improvement of
this work until they have complied
with the plans and specification OF
their contract, When the special
committee made an examination Of
this street we found that the eontrac-
tors had made no effort to honestly
comply with the terms Of their con
tract We found II in a deplorable
condition and / object now to the
payment Of the contract money.

SITUATION IN MONTANA
IS ALSO IMPROVED

Helena, Mont, Aug. 23.-The for
est fire situation in Central Montana
has improved slightly since last
night although conditions are far
from satisfactory.
A number of large fires continue
their work of destruction, and several
new ones are reported.
The pail of smoke overhanging
Helena is very dense and ashes are
falling in great quantities.
Relief parties left Helena in auto
mobiles today for the Black Foot
country to bring in camping parties
from the fire zone. A relief party
left for Buffalo Creek also to rescue
a number of miners who are fleeing
to escape from a serious fire in that
district.
Reports from Libby say that the
town is surrounded on three sides by
fire but that it can be saved unless
the wind changes. Governor Norris is
personally directing the fight against
the fires near Libby.
Officials have been unable to get
into communication with Governor
Norris with a result that the state
troops have not been called out as
yet to fight fires on the border of
Yellowstone park and in Northwest
ern Montana.

was only reported today to the for
estry officers, it is said that it has
been burning for several days and
that all of the campers. in that sec
ton have been pressed into service
Richard Calder, of this city, who
went into the Elk Creek district i
week ago on a hunting trip, was
forced to flee for safety and had his
horse badly burned enroute. He
stated that every camper in the dis
trict had been pressed into service.
The fires around the Four Bit
Ford are reported today to be dying
down and are fairly well under con-
troll. The Mosquito swamp fires are
also said to have been checked by
the soldiers who arrived last week.
Supervisor Erickson with force
of nearly 200 men is still fighting
the Gait Hill fire of the southeast
side and is said to be meeting with
good success.
Taken all in all the fire situation
may be said to have improved great
ly during the last "a hours. With
additional men at work it is believed
that they will all be under control
within a week.
A dense smoke is still hanging
over the city and valley. There Is
no prospect of rain.
The local forestry officials are
congratulating themselves that there
has been no loss of life in the pres
ent fires. A number of narrow es-
capes have been experienced but so
far no fatalities have been recorded.
Assistant Forester G. ]. Buck,
who is now in charge of the local
Office, states that he is leaving no,
stone unturned in his efforts to finG
the parties who are responsible for
the fires. That the fires were set by
some person or persons there is not
the slightest doubt as unmistakables
evidence has been found to that ef-
feet. One homesteadsr is reported
to have chased a fire bug for several
miles on horse back in an endeavor'
to apprehend him but he escaped.

MANY NEW FIRES
REPORTED IN MONTANA

Butte, Mont, Aug. 23.-The fire
in the Gallatin forest near Bozeman
and the conflagrations in Northwest
ern Montana are considered as among
the worst fires burning within the
state today.
An appeal has been sent to Gov
ernor Norris to call out the Butte
state militia to assist the fire fighters
in the Gallatin district.
In addition to forest fires a COM
prehensive area of grazing land in
the southern portion of the state and
in northern Wyoming is being de-
voured.
An immense loss to sheepmen is
threatened on account of these grass
fires.
Another appeal for state troops has
reached the governor from Fergus
county. Forest fires are raging also
in the Little Rockies and Little Belt
mountains.
While officials of the Northern Pa
cific expected to resume service to-
day the prospects of pushing trains
through the burning regions seemed
remote at daylight,
1t is believed that the Chicago Mil
waukee and Puget, Sound will be tied
up for two weeks owing to the burn
ing out Of all but five of 20 bridges.
A number of new fires are reported
to have sprung up during the night
While reassurilg dispatches are
being received, it is realized by the
forestry officials that a rising wind
would cause the fires to spring up
again.

plants and samills destroyed in the
holocaust are under way.
Though dazed by the terrible toll
taken by the fires, the citizens are
preparing to return to the country
from which they fled for their lives
but few days ago and start their
lives anew.
The fire situation in Western Mon
tana has improved considerably also,
according to dispatches reaching here
today. Saltese, which seemed doomed
was saved. Henderson probably will
not burn and $50 men are fighting
to save st. Regis, Montana, which was
surrounded by fire and reported
burned yesterday. Haughan, Debor-
gia, Bryson, Taft and number of
small mining settlements are smok-
ing ashes, however. The Milwaukee
railroad likewise Is a heavy loser.
Twenty-four railroad bridges are
burned out of total of twenty-nine.
Two thousand homeless refugees are
crowded into Missoula from the fire
zenes. Many of them have nothing
but their garments left.
According to dispatches from Mis-
soula nine men were incinerated on
the hills north Of Saltese and six were
burned in a fire on Cedar Creek.
With the exception Of some forest
guards and rangers in Isolated dis
tricts. most OF the government fire
fighters have been heard from. No
fears are expressed for their safety,
Bridge crews of the o. r. & N, were
rushed into the Occur d'Alene district
today and work was begun on the
burned bridges,

COMMERCIAL CARS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Objectionable Feature of Inaccessible
Parts Overcome in Late Models
Shown by Reliable Manu-
facturers

To the general public the gasoline
much the same as last year, but there
is a vast improvement in details that
can be discovered easily by close OBJ
servation.
On the details depends to SO great
degree the success or failure of a car
from a standpoint of reliability and
economy. Up to a year or so ago the
commercial car was not much of a suc-
cess.
Chief among the faults of the COM
mercial car that has hindered Its
progress has been inaccessibility of
parts. The best engineers have con-
tended that the first thing to be con-
sidered in designing a truck was to so
attach the different vital parts to one
another SO that within a few minutes
any part could be taken away without
disturbing any other part, and that un-
til this was done, without sacrificing
strength or adding weight, the design
was not correct. For example, suppose
in the past, bearing in the transmits
sion went wrong from some cause
probably not altogether the fault of the
car. This bearing in itself might be
very inexpensive, but after the car had
been taken all to pieces, the bearing
fixed, and the car put together again,
the repair bill presented to the owner
OF the truck to say nothing of the time
lost, made him skeptical of the econ
omy of motor wagons over horses. If
this bearing could have been gotten at
quickly and fixed it would have been
another story. Another thing which
tended to give the motor truck a
"black eye" was that engine bear
ings, and In fact bearings all over the
car, were too small to withstand the
hard wear, tremendous strains and
shocks to which they were subjected,
and the result was short life.
When a merchant pays several thou
sand dollars for a piece of machinery
that he expects will reduce the cost Of
transporting his goods he is not in
clined to enthuse much over this piece
of machinery II it has Joined the down
and outs within six months or year.
Had the bearings been generous and
designed for long life the merchant
would have different story to tell.
In the past engineers made the gears
strong enough-With reasonable fac
tor of safety-to transmit the power
developed by the engine, but unforeseen
strains came up and knocked into a
cooked hat" the theory that gears
need only be strong enough to transmit
is to reduce the horsepower of the en-
gine and multiply the strength of the
gears. This year. transmission, differ
entail and driving gears are big, husky
and of the right material. The driver
that can put them "out of business"
should be made foreman of q railroad
wrecking crew.
Axles, steering apparatus, frames,
springs, radiators, in fact all parts in
fl1n OF lxy IAR Ras1.
but the 1910 models of all the reliable
makers that are on exhibition at the
Madison Square garden show are ma
chimes that no merchant need hesi-
tate to invest his money in. They
show that the engineers and operators
have been getting their heads to-
gether and today have produced a
practical motor vehicle that is thor
oughly reliable, long-lived and econo1n-

AUTOS GOING TO AVIATION
MEET MUST BE RUN SLOW
Chief Deputy Case Warns Drivers Not
to Go Faster than 20 Miles
an Hour

The Automobile club of Southern
California warns all automobilists at
tending Aviation meet not to exceed a
speed of more than twenty miles an
hour after leaving the city limits. So
far this week the deputies have been
very courteous and in most cases sim
ply warned without arresting Offend
ers, but owing to the persistent in-
fraction of the law by so many au-
toists the officers have lost all pa
tience and from now on will arrest all
those who are driving their machines
more than twenty miles an hour.
F. G. Case, chief deputy, said he had
had seven officers patrolling the roads,
but will double the force and that while
he didn't wish to appear officious he
certainly would not hesitate to arrest
anyone going faster than the law al
lows.
He has asked the automobile club to
publish notice of his intentions, so
those attending the meet will be suf-
ficiently notified to go slow, unless they
wish to be arrested.

POPULAR REQ EXHIBITED

i've features of the exhibits of r. M.
Owen & Co. at the Palace show was
the chassis of the new model four
cylinder REQ. The motor of thfs, popu-
lar model is kept running constantly,
and is SO glazed and Illuminated that
it's inner workings may readily be seen
by visitors. Among the many novel
and practical features of this chassis is
the device whereby the shifting lever is
bracket of special design is so inserted
as to catch the lower part of the shift
ing lever which is made secure by a
small paddock. AS this permits the
moving about of the car anywhere in
the garage and yet makes 1t impossi-
BILE to drive without unlocking the
shifting lever, r. e. Olds has again
promptly supplied popular demand.
