WOrk-Damage Is Covered by In
surance-Origin of Fire Unknown.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 27.-It is es-
timated today that damage to the ex-
tent of million dollars was done by
a fire which started in this city last
night and entirely destroyed a busi-
ness block in the heart of the city.
The burned district is bounded by
Government, Broad and East streets
and Trounce alley
The fire started in Spencers depart
ment store and was quickly spread to
adjacent buildings by the high wind
which was blowing at the time. The
Western Unions new office building
the Three Sisters building which was
the largest office building in Victoria,
the Victoria book store, Young's de-
partment store, the Savannah art
gallery, and a number of smaller bus
inesses were destroyed totally and the
Victoria Times building was only
saved after a hard fight. AS it was.
it was badly injured by water and
smoke. In addition to these damages
fifteen hundred telephones are out of
commission. All of the burned build
ings were fully insured.
Both firemen and soldiers fought
valiantly to prevent the spread of the
effective work that a much more Sc
rious conflagration was prevented.
Up until the present time no sat

DYING DOG SAVES
FAMILY IN HOTEL

New York.-After killing two dogs,
one a big mastiff. which guarded
Whites Hotel in Dundee Lake. N. J.,
burglars broke into the place, chlor-
oformed all the inmates and got
away with quantities of whisky, wine
and cigars, and about $50 in cash.
Besides Mrs. White, who owns the
hotel, her brother, william Davidson;
her daughter, Alice IS years old, and
her daughter in law, Mrs. William
White, were asleep in the hotel. All
four persons had a narrow escape
from suffocation.
Mrs. White was awakened by the
dying growls of the mastiff, which,
with the other dog, had been chloro-
formed. She was almost overcome
by the fumes Of chloroform which
had been spread throughout the sleep
ing rooms of the hotel, and half stum-
bled down stairs. The noise she
made frightened away the burglars,
who were at work rifling the cash
register in the barroom.
Mrs. White, who Is a widow, called
her brother, and, receiving no ans
wer, went to investigate. She found
him unconscious in his room. She
dragged him out OF bed and to the
window and he revived as soon as he
felt the cold air. The two then went
into the other sleeping rooms. The
daughter and daughter in law were
more under the influence Of the drug
than either Mrs. White or her brother
had been and they were revived with
the greatest difficulty. When they
finally were brought to their senses
Mrs. White and her brother started
on an inspection of the hotel.
On the barroom floor they found
the mastiff and the othen dog dead
There was plenty of evidence that the
bar had been rifled thoroughly. The
burglars apparently had saved the
cash register for the last, and from
It they had obtained only $40. The
fact that several cases of wine and
whisky, besides a quantity of cigars,
were stolen, led the police, who had
been notified, to believe that the bur-
glars had used a wagon in carrying
away their plunder.

LAST NIGHT COOLEST OCTOBER
NIGHT IN LAST TWENTY YEARS

With the mercury in the official
thermometer registering but II de-
grees above zero last night was the
coolest October night ever recorded
in Pendleton. There may have been
colder nights before the coming of
the white man or the establishment of
the local office of the weather OBJ
servatory, but so far as the govern
ment records show, the temperature
went three degrees lower last night
than it has ever gone before in 20
years. This is the length of time the
weather observations have been Of
ficially recorded here
The next lowest temperature in
October was recorded, October II,
1905, when the thermometer register
ed but 20 above. Next to that was
SO above, while 26 was registered on
several occasions. The mean mini
mum temperature for the past 20
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-10-27

years has been somewhere between 26
and "a.
Though the weather of the last two
nights has been far from seasonable
1t is not believed that any damage
has been done. The growth of grass
and the sprouting of seeded grain
have both been undoubtedly tempor-
arily retarded. But no permanent in
jury has as yet been sustained.
Rainfall Is Short.
The rainfall for the month of Oc-
tober Is 20 of an inch below the nor
NAL for this month and there is small
prospect of the deficiency being
wiped out. Rain fell Tuesday in the
Grande Ronde valley. in walla walla
and in a few sections of Umatilla
county. but Pendleton was passed up.
The total amount of rainfall for the
month thus far is but 80 of an inch
while the normal precipitation is
1.19 inches.

BIG DEMOCRATS WILL
SPEAK here TONIGHT
SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN AND
JOHN MANNING IN CITY
Many People VIII go to Court House
TO Hear Campaign Addresses
Have Been In East End During
Day.

Senator George E. Chamberlain
and John Manning, candidate for con-
gress will complete their political
speaking tour OF Umatilla county by
addressing the meeting at the court
house this evening. Owing to the
prominence Of the speakers and the
amount Of interest being manifested
In the present campaign it is believed
that tonight's meeting will be one of
the largest and most enthusiastic
ever held In the city.
Pendleton's Roundup Cowboy band
will furnish music on the street be-
fore the meeting which will be call
ed to order at o'clock.
Senator Chamberlain, who Is ex-
ceedingly popular in Umatilla county,
held two rousing meetings today, ac-
cording to telephone information
from the east end of the county. The
first was held at Valley and though
this is a farming community, scores
of tillers Of the soil stopped their
work long enough to turn out for the
meeting.
From Valley, Senator Chamberlain
was taken to Milton for a 1880 meet
ing which proved to be the largest
yet held on his tour of the county.
Manning addressed a ir sized au-
dience at Athena at 1890 and both
men will come to Pendleton on the
evening Spokane train.
Manning's theme will probably be
the high cost of living while Chamber
lain is expected to speak on the "Ore-
gon System" With the eye Of the
entire country on Oregon and with the
East regarding the present campaign
as a fight between progressives and
reactionaries, the thoughts to be ad-
vanced by the Oregon senator are
being looked forward to with much
interest.

VALLEY PRECINCT
IS PROGRESSIVE
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
AT VINCENT HALL
Senator Smith Cheered for Advocate
of Initiative and Referendum and
Direct Primary-Open Scorn for
Burgess Because OF "FYop."

At Vincent hall in Valley precinct
last night a good sized audience was
addressed by Senator C. ]. Smith and
other candidates. The enthusiasm
displayed showed plainly the feelings
of those in attendance to be entirely
with the speakers. In Valley pre-
cinct as well as in other parts of the
east end there is a strong progressive
spirit and this was made manifest
last night.
The Valley meeting was presided
over by Fred Hodgens and the prin-
cipal talk was by Senator Smith. In
an able and interesting manner the
senator told of the political events that
led up to the adoption of the initiative
and referendum in Oregon and of the
adoption of the direct primary law
under the initiative. He then gave
some vivid illustrations of the splen-
did effects of the direct primary and
especially of the statement No. l
feature. He boldly stated that the
present Oregon railroad law could
never have been passed with the old
method of electing senators still in
vogue.
Aside from Senator Smith other
speakers were Ben F. Hill, ]. B. Say
lor and T. J. Tweedy. Ben Hill,
candidate for joint representative,
ably presented his attitude in favor
ing Of statement No. 1. Mr.. Hill is
making the race for Joint represen-
tative mainly upon the statement No.
l plank, his opponent T. ]. Mahoney
Of Heppner. being an anti-statement
man
]. B. Saylor, candidate for county
commissioner, is a resident of the east
end and his popularity in that section
was fully made known during the day
yesterday. In the present campaign
he is the running mate for ]. W. Ma
loney. democratic candidate for coun-
ty judge.
Residents of Valley precinct are
showing open scorn for ]. n. Bur-
CESS because of his eleventh hour
advocacy Of statement No. l. 1t Is
the general impression that Burgess
"flopped" in hopes of catching the
statement vote of the east end, but
numerous expressions made yesterday
indicate his sudden conversion Will
be in vain.
Senator Smith and other democrat
i, candidates will speak at Hermis-
ton this evening.

While in the, city last evening for
a few minutes Senator George e.
Chamberlain, who is to speak at the
court house here tonight reiterated
his denial of the existence of any So
called Bourne Chamberlain West
machine. He said:
"In order to cloud the real issue In
this campaign, which is convention
ism, disguised under the name Of as
semblyism, It has been charged by
the enemies of the Oregon system,
that there is a combination between
Senator Bourne, Oswald West and
myself to defeat Mr.. Bowerman and
to elect Mr.. West. It is charged that
this combination has for its object
not only the defeat of Mr.. Bower
man but in some remote way to as
sist the alleged candidacy OF Senator
Bourne, two years hence, and the al
legged candidacy of myself four years
hence.
"Those who make this charge know
that Il Is false, and the people are
beginning to understand that II is
made purposely and deliberately to
draw voters away from the issues OF
conventionism.
"I have made no combination with
Mr.. Bourne. or Ellis. or Hawley OF
any of them, to further the candidacy
of them or any of them.
1T have one thing in common with
Senator Bourne. II this be treason.
then two-thirds of the voters of the
state are equally guilty with Senator
Bourne and myself. That thing which
Senator Bourne and myself have In
common, and which two-thirds Of the
voters Of the state have in common
with us, Is the defense of'the initia-
tive and referendum, the direct pri-
mary law in its full integrity and
purpose and Statement No. l, the
corrupt practices act, the recall and
all of the legislation which has been
enacted by the people under the in
itiative and referendum. :.
"The life of the Oregon system is
now the issue. II Is trembling In the
balance.
"The election Of Mr. Bowerman and
those who with him have been NOM
mated under the so-called assembly
method of nomination means the de-
feat OF this system, and am ready
to unite with Senator Bourne. as I
am undertaking to unite with two
thirds OF the voters of this state. In
advising the people at the coming
election to vote against every man,
whether democrat or republican, who
has received his nomination in any
way or manner than by submitting
his candidacy In an open primary.
without any suggestion Of assembly,
ism or conventionism, to the voters
Of the district. or county. OF state, as
the case may be.
ct deny as positively as It is pos
sible for me to deny the charge that
there is any combination or alliance
or understanding between Senator
Bourne and myself or between Sem
ator Bourne, Mr.. West and myself,
and I state with equal positiveness
that Senator Bourne and I have not
conferred at any time with reference
to the candidacy Of Mr.. West, and
believe as firmly as believe any
thing that Mr.. West himself has new
er conferred with Senator Bourne at
any time with reference to his can
didacy for the position for which he
is now q candidate.
1.-THE charge comes from those who
are the recognized friends of the as
sembly system and who have always
opposed the direct primary law and
Statement No. 1, and Its purpose Is
80 palpably to mislead the voters and
