Of the six dead, nothing but charred
and blackened bones, with hanging
strips of foul-smelling flesh, remain.
Two of the dead are still unidentified.
there being no way of Identification, ex-
cept by lieting those who are missing.
At 10 o'clock foul odor was noticed
IN the drugstore of j. L. Watts, and a
lamp in the dark room, used for amateur
photogra ply, went out. 1t was lighted,
and as the burning match was thrown
to the floor, streaks of flame of blush
tint ran along the joints between the
boards, showing the presence of escap-
ing natural gas, and then up the walls.
The next instant, the explosion came.
The walls were hurled in every direction
and the top of the building, fell with a
crunching, grinding sound, covering
everything. Fire broke out, and shrieks
could be heard from those beneath. Of
the seven persons in the store, three
were burned alive. The rest are still
alive and may recover.
A hundred persons were at work on
the ruins trying to save the lives in
Greschke's grocery adjoinging, pulling
at the ruins to save those buried beneath.
While thus engaged, and twenty MN
utes after the first explosion, a second
came from beneath the grocery. It was
a mighty roar and hurled the building
to atoms. Forty people were knocked
senseless, strewn in all directions with
broken bones and bruised bodies, while
as many more escaped with small
bruises. The shock made the whole
town quiver. Beneath the ruins, Phiue
Greschke, the groceryman, was caught
and crushed to death. His body was re-
covered before it was entirely burned
The ruins were added to those of the
building adjoining, demolished by the
first explosion, and the whole mass, to.
gether with cottage and a livery stable
was burned. Only the bucket brigrade
was on hand in time to do any good
and probably it only prolonged the
agony of the victims who were burned
The disaster was caused by natural gas
leaking into the cellars of tue buildingc
fro. Il three-inch main that ran into
the street, and from which the houses
were supplied.

-FOUR TO GET OFFICE
Oregon Delegation Reaches
An Agreement.
John H. HALL FOR U. S. ATTORNEY
zoeth Rouser, Marshal; o. Summers,
Appraiser; t. T. Geer, Regis
ter at Oregon City.

The Oregon congressional delegation
Saturday agreed upon the following rec
concentrations for appointment to fed
eral Offices in Oregon.
United States district attorney-John
H. Hall, of Portland.
United States marshal-Zoeth Houser,
of Umatilla county.
Appraiser of customs, Willamette dis
trict, at Portland-Colonel Owen Sum-
mers, of Portland.
Register of United States land Office,
cat Oregon City-T. T. -Geer. of Marion
county.
President Mckinley was at once, by
wire, notified of the choice of the dele
CATION. No other recommendations were
made, or, if an agreement was reached,
the fact was not made public. For col
iector of customs at Portland, if was an
nounced that the delegation has not
submitted a recommendation at present,
and probably will not until an oppor-
tunitv is given for consultation with the
president" The term of the present
incumbent in the collectorship, of in
ternal revenue for Oregon, Washington
and Alaska does not expire until Janu-
ary 20, 1898, and no recommendation
will be made until that time. No def
mite action was taken as to the post
mastership at Portland, and other post
Offices and land offices throughout the
state will be filed as the. terms of the
present incum bents expire.
The delegation concluded its consulta-
tions last night, and Congressman Ellis
left for his home in Heppner, and Con-
gressman Tongue for Hillsboro, Senator
Mcbride will remain at the Perkins for
several days. The delegation had been
in almost continuous conference since
Thursday afternoon. Before that time
there had been desultory meetings, but
no serious work was done or conclusions
reached. After it was all over, Senator
Mcbride said, last night:
'We have listened patiently and gladly
to various representative Republicans
from all parts of the state, and have con.
sidered the merits of all the candidates
These Recommendations represent the
candidates upon whom all could agree
after careful consideration"
Senator Mcbride declined to say any.
thing further for publication, pleading
that he was very tired and very anxious
for season of rest.
The general expectation is that Presi
dent Mckinley will made the appoint
ments in accordance with the wishes o
the delegation. 1t has been his policy
to place the responsibility for his selec
tions to Office upon the various senators
and representatives, and when delega
tion is in harmony as to any candidate
or set of candidates for the state which
it represents, it may be considered tan
tamount to appointment.

indigestion is often taken for con-
sum ption. The word consumptoin
means wasting away, and dyspeptics

eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat.

Work on they Skaguay TraiI--Disgusted
KIOndikers Return.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Sept. 4.-The steam-
ship Queen arrived at 10 O'Clock from
Alaska. Among her passengers is
George B. Kittenger, of Seattle, who
comes out on flying business trip and
will return on the came steamer to
Skaguay, en- route to Dawson City.
Kittinger has been over a part of the
Skaguay trail and was the center of a
large crowd on the street corners tonight,
where he told interesting stories of the
scenes, amusing ard pathetic as well,
that he had witnessed on the pass.
Frank L. Champion, of Mount Ver-
non, Wash, is one of the passengers
down from Skaguay on the Queen. He
went up to look over the situation, and
took trip over both passes. He says
that the killing of horses is caused LARGE
ly by novices, who do not know how
to load them. In many instances the
pack saddles are allowed to wear great
holes in the horses backs. The men
who are fixing the trail will be the first
by the vigilance committee. and no man
can go on trail with packs without a
certificate from the secretary that he has
done so much work on the trail. One
man whom Mr.. Champion saw had got
ten all of his outfit over the trail
when it was closed for travel. The COM
mittee refused to let him take the re-
mainder of his pack over. His en-
treaties did no good. In desperation,
he went back and got winchester and
two revolvers, and he held up the COM
mittee and went through.
Many men will wait until the snow
falls and take their outfits over on sleds.
In fact, sleds already are being used to
cross the summit on the Dyea trail.
At Dyea and the Chilkoot pass the
conditions are much the same as on the
Skaguay trail. The price for packing by
the Indians is So cents per pound, and
all classes of Indians are employed.
Tents are scattered every 20 feet along
the trail. The trail is lined with tired
and distressed men from one end to the
other.
S. NJ. Lesikatos, who went into the
Klondike last spring, sends out word to
his partner. Mr.. Hens, of Juneau, that
he has struck it rich. He. says:
"I sunk two prospect holes without
finding anything, but in the third
could pick up nuggets with my hand.

O'Clock. She has 81 disgusted Klon.

small danger is shown by the record
long and ghastIy-of lives lost in his manner.
In hunting the seal the hunter stood upright
in the bow of the double-ended boat, his shot
gun or rifle ready across his breast Aft sat the
boat-puIlers facing each other, one pushing and
pulling the oars. Often they put up small
sail and took it easy while the hunter kept up
his watch forward.
In good sealing the capita and the mate have
often taken out boat, sometimes leaving the
cook and dog alone to watch the vessel.
The hunter was a superior individual. He
often made from $1,000 20 $500 season lasting
eight or nine months. He lived in tn cabin
wi h the ca plain and mate, and had nothing 10
do with the sailing navigation OF the vessel.
His ability as shot had need to be excellent
and of peculiar quality, for his task Il fiji
cult one All that s exposed of a seal above
water is a nose ami small bit of head. A shy
animal, the sea! is hard to approach. Add to
this the necessity of shooting HIM while ne is
bobbing up and down Oil q wave and while the
boat is also dong aquatic gymnastics and one
may imagine a seal is difficult TO hit.
To recover the body of seal shot in the water
it is nece sary that the shot be so accurate as to
cau,e instant death; otherwise the wounded ami
NAL sinks.
The boat pulers worked on what was termed
'Havs." That is, they received a certain per-
centage of the value of the skins secured on
voyage. In addition they also received small
wages. The hunter received fixed price for
every skin he took. Captain and mate received
salaries and 'Iays.'
The practice of the schooners was to follow
the seal herds close up to the Aleutian Islands.
There they would meet ut o previously ap-
pointed rendezvous, the supply steamer from
Victoria, bringing mail and supplies. The catch
would be transferred from schooners 10 steamer

The move of Commander Evans was a good
one. however-from the Government if not
from Just standpoint-for many OF the schoon-

then no supply steamers have been seized.
Strange as it may seem, most of the hunters
