Damage to r. e. Davis Home.

A fire occasioned much excitement
at 1880 this morning at the home of
r. E. Davis, S3S Quincy street. The
fire started in the roof, it is thought
from a defective flue. When the mo-

useless. More hose was obtained and
attached to the hydrant at Laurent

ffremen on the roof were busy with
the chemical, and when the stream
of water shot from the hose unex-
pectediy, with tremendous pressure,
several of them were nearly knocked
from the roof by it. The top of the
house was badly burned.
Another fire started at 1894 North
Quincy earlier in the day. 1t broke
out in the roof and was extinguished
by the chief with an ordinary teaket-

JOINT FUND PLAN
FOUND NOT FEASIBLE
Lumberman's Trust Special Bond At
tOrneys Decide Against Proposed
Road Issue.

The tentative plan suggested some
time ago for the construction of roads
in this county, including the Bull
Highway district, through a certain
construction of the law which seemed
to forbid such division, was declared
not practicable by the special bond at
tOrneys of the Lumberman's Trust
company of Portland. An agent of the
company originally suggested what he
thought to be a way of getting around
the seeming inhibition. The law as it
appears on its face, and as the bond
attorneys construe it, forbids any
thing less than the whole county to
vote bonds. unless such part form
highway district. So if the whole coun-
ty should vote bonds for roads, the
people of Bull highway district would
have to vote on the issue and help
pay it, but could not share its bene-
fits.
In the event that the law shall prove
to be as construed by the bond attor-
neys in question, the only practicable
way to get bond issue for good roads
Will be to create an Independent road
district of that part of the country out
side of the Bull Independent district
or to induct the Bull district to dis
solve, at least while the roads are
being fixed. Otherwise the people of
the westend would have a valid claim
that they were suffering from taxation
without representation.
At the same time, it is understood
that Price & company of Seattle hold
that under the laws of Idaho arrange
ments can be made whereby money can
be raised and utilized by the county
and the road district without taking
any of the extraordinary steps sug-
gested- Should their attorneys so mold
II is considered possible that an
election will be called and the matter
tested in the courts, particularly since
the personnel of the supreme court has
changed since the matter came up be-
fore.

There are always things wearing out,
and these tend to make the place look
unkempt and run down. Standards of
living grow higher as time goes on,
and to keep up with the procession

how much money is spent on streets

the town will look decadent and all

pitfalls. The American Red Cross is
preparing to supply thirty-five base
hospitals, six of which are needed in
France at once. The personnel of
six base hospitals have already been
sent to France to attend to needs
there. AS soon as practicable it is ex-
pected that an American army will go
to the front but in the meantime the
supplies of the French have been eX-
hausted, so that, as recently pointed
out by Lord Northcliffe, a tremendous
amount of supplies for the food and
care of men and horses and especially
for the hospital care of the men, must
be sent and prepared so that the army,
great or small, which goes to the
front shall carry everything needed.
General Sheridan once said that
should a crow fly down certain val
ley he would have to carry his sup
plies with him. The same is true of
any American army that now goes to
Europe Hence, there is need for re-
doubled activity on the part of those
who are interested as all patriotic
Americans are, in furthering Red
Cross work.
A base hospital has twenty-five
eds. three doctors, besides nurses
pharmacists, clerks and other assis-
tants. It costs $4,000 to equipp one.
1t is believed that if the women of
the country who can spare time can
do the sewing for these hospitals, it
will expedite matters and allow 9TH
ers in productive industry to take up
other needed tasks.
All sorts of assistants of both sexes
are needed for the front and informa-
ton ON that point can be secured from

ters of the Red Cross at the Twin
