himself a hero. One of the first into the burning building, he fought his way through the smoke and up the f1ame-swept stairways to the upper stories, where he made his way rapid ly from room to room, attempted to calm the panic-gripped occupants, who thronged the smoke-filled halls and made several spectacular rescues.
 John O'Brien, better known as "Mosco," whose rescue Mccarthy at tempted at the loss of his life, es-- capped early, ran out into the zero weather barefooted and scantily clad, receiving badly lacerated and prob- ably frost bitten feet. He was taken to the home of President George M. Landers of the Chamber of Commerce next door, given first aid treatment and then taken to the hospital. More than a dozen other scantily clad refu- gees were taken to the Landers home given coffee and food and kept until they were able to make temporary ar engagements for clothing and lodg- ings.
 Eli George had his right heel bad ly lacerated from broken glass. He was given first aid surgical treatment and then taken to the hospital. pr. Joseph Walsh, police departm surgeon, was confined to his home by illness. pr. J. l.. Kelly was sum- moned by the police and gave first aid treatment to many who sustained minor injuries from broken glass and falls in the railways. A number of the firemen received decorations from the breaking glass.
 Mccarthy Once Free.
 According to those first on the scene, Mccarthy had once escaped from the third floor to the office without injury when he happened to think of his chum, O'Brien, and, not seeing him. supposed him to still be in his room. Calling out that he was going to save O'Brien and fighting off those who tried to prevent him from going, he dashed up the stairs into the smoke and flames. That was the last seen of him until his charred body was found on the bedroom floor. It is supposed that he fought his way to this room, where the fire was raging hottest at that time, discovered that the bed and room was empty, but not until he was so nearly over- come that he was unable to reopen the door. which had apparently slammed shut after his entrance into the room.

OREGON AS AN EXAMPLE.

California is already entering upon
her next campaign against booze,
with Oregon supplying much Of the
campaign argument for both sides OF
the question. In the face OF the fact
that practically every city in Oregon
shows an improved condition OF fin
ances. the banks have more money on
deposit, Indebtedness has been de-
creased, and the general tone OF busi-
ness is much better than year ago,
II is difficult to see where the sup
porters Of John Barleycorn will get
much comfort from the purely indus
trial side Of the argument. Now
comes the statement that the num-
Der Of criminals sent to the Oregon
state penitentiary for the first six
months OF the year is reduced by IL
per cent over a like period OF last
year. This is ample proof that liquor
is responsible for the most OF the
crime, and that without liquor there
will be less expense upon the state
through the operation OF Its criminal
courts and OF its penal institutions
The licenses received from the legal
lied sale Of liquor never did pay one
half the added cost OF courts and Of
the care OF criminals made such
through booze. II the people Of Cali
fornia are not blinded through pre-
iudice, they will see in Oregon a
shining example Of the benefits fol-
lowing the outlswing Of the liquor
trafflc. California will soon join the
procession.
