ELKs FILE A REPORT
ON RAILROAD WRECK

PORTLAND, Or, Sept 1.-THE COM
mittee of nine appointed from the Elks
of this city to investigate the cause Of
the wreck of the Elks' excursion train on
the Northern Pacific Railroad, near Che
halls, August %, submitted its report to-
day. The report says that the engine
pulling the excursion train was not a
first-class engine; that the engineer and
fireman were both extra men, neither of
them ever before having run the engine,
and that the cause of the accident was
low water in the boiler. The officials in
charge Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
the day of the disaster are severely con-
demned. The report closes by expressing
regret that Brother A. d. Charlton,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, was not in the
city the day Of the accident. We are
convinced that had he been in Portland or
anywhere upon the main line of the road
conditions after the accident would have
been different and much suffering and
anguish of mind would have been saved
to all concerned"

DAWSoNITES DID NOT
APPRECIATE THE DRAMA

TACOMA. Wash, Sept. 1.-THE Hall
theatrical stock company disbanded at
Dawson last week, after giving the Klon-
dixie the best dramatic entertainments
seen there. The severe drought and the
ensuing exodus Of. miners made business
light and it was decided best not to con-
tinue so expensive an organization. Mrs.
Hall. manager of the company, turned the
closing performances into a benefit for the
players and packed houses resulted, the
bill including scenes from Camille, THE
Christian" and "A Bachelors Romance" q"
Mrs. Condor, leading woman of the COM
pany, returns to her home in San Fran
cisco. as do also Mr.. Mcdonald, Mr.. Fan
ming Miss Gale and Miss Jocelyn. Messrs.
Clarke and Morgan return to New York
Miss Chandon and Mrs. Hail. who are sis
ters, will remain in Dawson, where Mrs
Hall owns the Auditorium Theater and
other property. Messrs. Montgomery, Mo-
ran, Bittner and Thorn also remain there
At large expense Mrs. Hall attempted to
give Dawson good, wholesome drama, but
it paid only three weeks.

CHARGES AGAINST COUNTY
ASSESSOR ARE WITHDRAWN
Controversy Over Collection of Per-
sonal Property Taxes in San
Diego Is Amicably Settled.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 1.-THE controversy
existing between the District Attorney
and County Assessor Rush, as the result
of the charge that the latter had de-
frauded the county out of $3702 80 in the
collection of personal property taxes, was
ended to-day by a resolution of the Board
of Supervisors accepting a payment by
the Assessor of $500 in full of any and all
demands growing out of the matters
charged or which might arise therefrOm-
The Assessor, in the settlement, agrees
that he will not collect such taxes when
there is, in his opinion, sufficient real
estate owned by such persons to secure
the payment of the personal tax.
The bone of contention was the Asses
sor's right TO make such collections,
rather than to permit them to be pro-
posed and made by the Tax Collector,
thus involving escape from school taxes.
All charges in the complaint of improper
motives are withdrawn and the action is
dismissed.

ing as to the corn crop outturn is mani
fest, conditions in most States having
improved since September l. State fairs
and low rate excursions have stimulated
Western distribution, while good pros
poets for corn, cotton, rice and sugar in
the South have made things cheerful in
that section. The lumber market shows
contrast in the different sections. In the
West lumber and building material of all
kinds is active and firm, but at the East
the resumption of building operations

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of

There is much activity in all classes of

decreased complaint regarding collections,
accompanied by more discounting of
bills. Weather conditions have been IA
vorable for retail trade. distribution of
merchandise expanding, while there are
frequent reports of larger jobbing fall
business than last year. Some caution in
selecting goods owing to high prices is re-
ported at the West, but this is chiefly
confined to textiles. Labor disputes de-
crease, all but one Of the unions having
signed the agreement in the local build
ing trades and several other settlements
having been effected through concessions

Owing TO Lack Of Water, Popular

Totally Destroyed.

Fire yesterday afternoon destroyed the

a loss Of about 5000 on the building and
contents. The blaze was discovered short
ly after : o'clock on the roof Of the build
ing. but owing TO the lack of water IA
cilities and the fact that the fire had
gained considerable headway. all at
tempts to check the flames proved inef-
fectuaI and the structure and outhouses
were burned TO the ground.
Passengers on the electric car which
left San Mateo at 4 o'clock noticed the
fre on the roof as the car passed San
Bruno and at that time no one around the
place seemed 10 be cognizant OF the fact
owing TO the speed Of the car passing
the station there was no chance 10 give
the alarm. Some time afterward the dis
covery was made that the roof was in
flames, but IL was then too late TO save
anything Of value, as the fire spread with
great rapidity. The barn and Outhouses
were also soon ablaze and in less than an
hour nothing remained but pile Of smok
ing ruins. Owing 10 the proximity Of the
burning buildings 10 the railroad station

PORTLAND, Or, Sept u.-Dr. John P.
Frizzeu is organizing an expedition here
to bring back to this city the body of a
mastodon which he firmly believes exists
upon Unimak Island, off the western
coast of Alaska. While in San Francisco
recently. he stated that while en-
ployed as United States surgeon on that
island on July T. 1903, he saw tracks
which were twenty inches long by nine
teen and a half wide. followed them for
two miles inland and traced the course
of the monster into a cave that makes
into the side of a smoldering Volcano
DR.. F'rizzell was accompanied by James
Nugent, James Geary and S. f. Smith,
sailors from the Nellie Coleman, a San
Francisco ship. These sailors corroborate
DR.. Frizzells statements, and all of the
party agree regarding the evidences of the
presence there of an animal the like of
which has never been known to natural
lists as living in modern times. So tangi-
bic are these evidences that prominent
citizens of Portland propose to back DR..
Frizzell in an expedition to hunt and kill

peror to make this concession, which he
did. Therefore Frau Wagner and all the
