DESTRUCTION
Two Large Lumber Plants Are No"
A Great Mass Of Ashes.
Loss About $4,000
Insurance Is, So Far As Estimated
Not More Than 100000.

Yesterday two splendid lumber
mills graced the waterfront with
busy hum OF machinery: today
merely huge mass OF ashes, twisted
rods, warped machinery and devas'
tated debris mark the spot. Both
the Oregon Fir Lumber Company
and the St. Johns Lumber Com
pany's plants are in ruins.
Atf:4s Nightwatch =. d. Hol-
man, of the Oregon Fir Lumber
Company noticed flame close to
the engine room of the Douglass
mill. He blew the whistle and
called the 6reboat as quickly as
possible. At 1855 the hreboat
started from Portland and thirty
minutes later was throwing huge
streams upon the flames.
Five minutes later III. w. Brice
saw the flames and with two others
dragged the hosecart to the scene.
Much trouble was found in connect
ing-and finally these men devoted
their attention to protecting the
Jobes -four mill.
Meantime citizens gathered-but
all hope of saving the property OF
the Oregon Fir Lumber Company
was gone. Like lightning the
flames spread. Indeed, one man
nearly lost his life. Leander Smith,
who has charge Of the government
lamp. rushed TO save the property.
No flames were near him but ere he
could rescue the lamp and escape
he was entirely surrounded by fire.
For a moment he faced death-but
escaped although so badly burned
that flesh is now dropping from his
face, neck and breast.
When the hreboat arrived there
was no hope for the Oregon Fir
Company so II commenced work on
the Douglass mill BY doing this
the small Office aud the dry house
were saved-together with their
contents. But the other mill, to-
gether with the fine dock was q
complete loss.
This is learful blow to St. Johns
as we'll rs a great loss to the owners
Of these plants. Steps will be taken,
i, is assured. TO at once commence
the work of rebuilding as soon as
insurance adjus,ers shall complete
their business. Every person IN
this city sympathizes with the
owners in their loss-and trusts
that new works will quickly spring
from the old ruins.
A. 5. Douglass when questioned
regarding the fire believes that the
fire started OF the dock from some
cigar or cigaret thrown down by
those watching the fireworks from
that point last night. Nightwatch
Whitsell. of the same plant, joins
in this belief.
Loss OF the Oregon Fir Lumber
Company is figured at close to
500, 600 with insurance OF about
Sss 500. More't than 1 900, 600 feet
OF lumber was destroyed. a dozen
ears OF fine ties which were To have
been shipped yesterday but for the
negligence OF the o. K. * \. Com
pany in furnishing cars were also
destroyed.
The loss OF the ST. Johns Lumber
Company is estimated at 81 900
with insurance amounting to 81 500
in force.
The freboat did noble work and
is much praised,

Gore Canon Controversy.

Denver, June 15.-Rendering his
opinion on surveys and other investi-
cations made of Gore canon, secured
under his direction while in charge or
the United States reclamation service
in this city, A. L. Fellows yesterday
made the following assertions in an
affidavit taken by United States Dis
trict Attorney e. M. Cranston, and
which will be used by the government
in its application for an iLunction to
restrain the Moffat road from laying
tracks through the canon.
Mr.. Fellows, in substance, declares:
That the construction of the
Kremmling reservoir is feasible and
economical proposition from an engi-
neer's standpoint.
That the supply of unappropriated
waters is sufficient to fill the reservoir
annually.
That the needs of the United States
reclamation service in it's plans for
the reclamation of arid lands stu
ated below the reservoir site in Colo
RADIO, Utah, Arizona and California
make it essential that the reservoir
be constructed.
That the reservoir site is the only
site on Grand river adapted to satisfy
the requirements Of the lands be-
low it.
That the construction of the pro-
posed reservoir will not prevent the
construction of the Denver, North
western & Pacific, or Moffat road.

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
in New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, 1t
was decided. beginning with the regu-
lar summer change, Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed Of the
twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead of
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago in 1898, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance,
440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time,
and for three years and 180 days hav-
ing held the worlds record for
thousand mile train in twenty hours.
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to. Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. M, arriving
Grand Central Station, New York,
at $3.50 next morning, and returning,
will leave New York $3.50 p. m reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in 23 hours in
stead of "a. leaving Chicago $50 p.
m. by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York $50 p. NJ, by the New
York Cent al
The Southwestern Limited" train,
No. IL, which now leaves Grand Cen
trail station at p. M, will, beginning
June 18th, leave at 2:04 p. m, saving
an hour to an hour and half on the
present journey to st. Louis and Gin
cinnati."

CONFEDERATE REUNION
VETERANS MEET IN KENTUCKY
ers of the Gray With
American Flags.

Louisville, KY, June 15.-T The
United Confederate veterans and aux
iliary organizations gathered in Louis
vile yesterday for their annual reun-
ion. The decorations are on a lavish
scale and the American flag predom-
mates.
The reunion was officially opened
shortly after noon when Gen. Bennett
H. Young, commander of the Ken
lucky division, called the perspiring
mass of humanity to order.
A rousing reception was given the
commander-in-chief,> Gen. Stephen d.
Lee, when he arose to respond for the
veterans to the addresses of welcome.
Cheers were given the few remaining
great figures of the Confederacy as
they made their appearance. The ven
erable Simon Bolivar Buckner, who is
approaching his eightieth year. was
heartily greeted, and delivered stir
ring speech.
Lieut.. Gen. w. L. Cabell. commander
Of the trans-Mississipp division, was
helped to the platform by many willing
hands, and his appearance was the sig
nal for a prolonged outburst of hand
clapping.
When Geo. Joe Wheeler, accom-
panied by his daughter, Miss Carrie
Wheeler, the sponsor for the South,
and her maid of honor were seen max
ing their way to the stage, the chair
man lost control of the convention and
the veterans cheered themselves hoarse
over the sight of their famous leader.
General Wheeler acknowledged the
greetings in brief speech.
In his response to the address of
welcome, Harry B. Haines of st. Louis
said:
There is one duty that the southern
son owes to his father as well as to his
nation, and that is to insist persis-
tently at all times and upon all occa-
sions that the history of the war shall
be truly written, that it's causes shall
be asserted, and that we may proclaim,
and posterity know, that the soldiers
of the South fought for principle and
honor and the preservation of that
construction of the constitution which
was given by the men who made it,"
The United Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams met to-day in Hopkins Theater.
The attendance was not large. T. P.
Stone of Waco, Texas, a past COM
mander-in-chief. made the response to
the welcoming address,
The preparations for the accommoda-
ton of the old soldiers have been made
on lavish scale. All courts have ad-
journed for the remainder of the week
in order that the court rooms may be
used as headquarters of the various
state delegations. The attendance ex-
ceeds expectations.

Valuable Street car pevIee.

Managers of electric railways In
Cleveland have not idled their time In
discussing the psychological phases
of the fact that women-the majority
of women-face to the rear when
alighting from a street car. They
have simply recognized the existence
of the habit, and by the use of
practical device made its continuance
nearly impossible. Just rail put in
such position that it can be grasped
by only one hand, and that the one
that swings It's owner head and eyes
to the front, has done the trick. and 1t
is believed that many accidents will
be averted by its adoption. And if 1t
does work as well as expected 1t
seems moral obligation is laid upon
railway managers everywhere to pro-
tect their woman passengers from
their own carelessness.

Rio erande Earnings.

Denver, June 15.-According to a
forecast of the auditors report, which
has been sent to the stockholders, the
surplus earnings of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1905, will be more
than double those of 1904. The ac-
tual surplus for the first ten months
of the present year is shown to be
s2.318,445, with May and June esti-
mated at $454,4S4.
A dividend of five per cent. was paid
out of these earnings upon the pre-
ferred stock. amounting to $2,22O,0OO
upon an issue of s44,400,000, and in
addition one-half years interest on
81 200. 900 of additional stock issued
last spring. The total dividend upon
the preferred stock for the fiscal year
aggregates s2,250,000, an increase OF
$4,000 over the previous year.
The increase in surplus for the year
Is over 100 per cent. and this reflects
the improved condition In the busi-
ness of the state. The showing is
extremely gratifying to the officials OF
the road. for it means that, If neces-
sary. a dividend of nearly two per
cent. could be paid upon the $SS,ooo''
600 of common stock which has never

plus will be kept in the treasury, al
though 1t is regarded as probable tnat

beginning July 1st, will give the COM
mon stock the first dividend in 1ts
history.

Hon. John Tighe, No. 9s Remsen st.,
Cohoes, N, Y, Member of Assembly
from the Fourth district, Albany
county, N. Y, writes as follows:
'Peruna has my hearty Endorsement
as restorative tonic of superior merit
At times when have been completely
broken down from excess of work, SO
that my faculties seemed actually az a

Excess of work so common in our

to catarrh and catarrhal nervousness-
disease that is responsible for half of
all nervous troubles.
Peruna cures this trouble because IL

OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.

A AFormer Pronounced Dyspeptic He Nov
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of Indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor" he
says. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is native Of
Aix-les- -Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larlsin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries Of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
