A QUARTER MILLION BLAZE
Destructive Fire Among the Port
land (0re.) Lumber Mills.
Three Concerns at the Extreme
Southern End of the City Burned
Out-WRtchm.,n ScOrched.

Portland, Ore, May 4.-An eXplo-
sion of saw dust in the furnace of the
Day Lumber Co. S mill started a fire
Just before midnight which destroyed
that mill, and also these of the Multno-
nah trunk and box factory and the
Ira F. Powers Manufacturing Co. Tie
loss will probably exceed $250000. The
three mills are located in a cluster on
ern end of the city.
The night watchman is the only per-
son about the mill at the time, and he
was so scorched by the flames which
attended the explosion that it was only
with difficulty that he was able TO
turn in fire alarm. Owing to this
delay and the distance from the near
est fire apparatus, the Day mill was
almost destroyed before the depart
ment arrived on the scene.
From the Day mill the flames
jumped to the Powers mill and the
trunk factory, and despite the efforts
of the fremen these structures were
rapidly enveloped in flames.
Although the fire department fought
with desperation, the highly inflamma-
bic character of the buildings and con-
tents rendered their efforts futile, and
all three buildings were burned to the
ground All of the mills carried some
insurance, but at this hour it is impos-
sible to state the amount

A SOAP BUBBLE FOUNTAIN
One of the Unique Exhibits In the

ST. Louis. May 14.-A fountain that
spouts soap bubbles is one Of the nov
elites shown in the Palace of Liberal
Arts at the Worlds fair.
The fountain is about 25 feet high
and is surmounted Ey statue. of a
fairy. Millions Of soap Bubbles pour
out from the top Dnsin, over the sides.
and into a larger and lower basin,
which in turn fills and overfiows, tho
bubbles being carried off at the bot
TOM The effect is much more brill
liant than a water fountain, for each
of the tiny bubbles reflects all colors
of the rainbow, TO add to thu brill
liancy electric lights art concealed IN
the lower parts of. the two basins and
these throw beams of light Of all col
ors up through the bubbles, producing
an electric fountain whose effect is
magnificent by every one of the globes
of water. A combination of mirrors Is
to be set in the skylight to reflect light
upon the fountain. t& f{
The bubbles are produced by spe.
cially built machines which ,agitate the
soap in clear water and under pres
sure force it up to he top of the forn-
tain and out into the highest basin
The bubbles are go mixed that they
have considerable stability, and az
they overflow the basins large chunks
of suds break off and fall like snow tc
the receptacle beneath.
The blowing of bubbles through q
clay pipe was what suggest ID the IN

Final Decree Entered.


A final decree was handed down
at Knoxville last week in the re-
ceivership of the Southern Building
and Loan Association, which, when
thrown into the hands of receiver
in March, 1897. had subscribers and
stockholders in eight OF ten Southern
States. Attorney-General Chas. II.
Cate, Jerome Tcmpleton, Webb &
McClung, as attorneys, have received
$4,000 and are allowed $4,000
more, with an additional fee of $t2,-
500 for acting as attorneys for the
receiver. Maj. D. A. Carpenter, re-
ceiver, is allowed 5 per cent Of the
collections, which totalcd $1,000
600. This gives him $4,000. Two
bankers get 81 900 each for auditing
the accounts of the receiver. A final
dividend of IS per cent paid 10
shareholders. The Southern was the
largest building and loan association
in the South, if not the United
States. Outside Of Tennessee, Ar
kansas had the largest number.
