sweep the whole gamut of the problem
dealing with racial contact The book
is especially attractive from the stand

tons which bear directly upon condi-
tions in the United States.
The author evidently in his contem-
Americans at heart as well as that of
his own native fellow citizens. for the
volume is dedicated to the Sons of
Ethiopia" the wide world over.
Mr.. Hayford weaves romance, poet
ry, history, modern Christianity, the
evolution Of race persecution and re-
cent striving into a plea for fidelity
to racial ideals which will bring about
the freedom of which he prophesies
when Ethiopia unbound will be real

cellence as well as his statesman-like
skill is revealed in "Gold Coast Native

HOUSES WRECKED

Portland, ore. Sept 25.-A giant
blast on the new Portland boulevard
at the head of Whitaker and Curry
streets. in South Portland, that was
set off at $50 o'clock yesterday NOR
ming resulted in the partial destruc-
ton of at least a dozen houses in the
immediate vicinity of the blast, the
shaving of houses and stores for
blocks around and the miraculous es-
cape of many people. from injury or
death.
The charge was two cans of black
powder, which was set nine feet in
the ground, but. according to Oscar
Lind, the sub-contractor who had
charge of the blast. the charge must
have been placed directly above bed
rock, for the force of the explosion
was all upward instead of being dis
tributed in all directions. as was ex-
pected, and which, had it happened
in that way, would not have caused
the damage that was done.
In several cases huge stones and
chunks of clay went clear through the
roof of the house, wrecking the
