12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL' 24, 1903. FURNITURE ON FIRE Flames In Warehouse Do $25,000 Damage. 'WATCHMAN AND FAMILY ESCAPE Orexcon Furniture Mannfactnrinc pompany- Suffers i,oss, Cowered by t X&anrsuice, of 15,000 Metal Wolls Hinder Firemen. Tire, probably of lncendl&ry origin, last tight destroyed the contents of the ware house of the Oregon Furniture Manufac turing Company, at East Clay and East Water streets. Beginning at the back of the building, the Interior of the structure fwas quickly aflame. The building was feheathed frith corrugated Iron, -which Im peded the efforts of the firemen to break down the walls and turn the streams Into the blaze. Peter Lynch, the night watchman, his Wife and child, were asleep in the second story when the fire broke out and so rap Idly did It spread that they fled from the blazing building In nothing but their night clothes. Lynch Is unable to give any ac count for the fire. The warehouse was filled with Eastern furniture. Fletcher Linn, the president of SERMON FOR NEXT SUNDAY By special arrangement with his publlihera. Tbe Sunday Oregonlan. April 26, will print a sermon by Rev. George C Loruner, D. D.. LL. D.. formerly pastor of Treroont Temple, Boston, now of New Tork City. His topic U 'The New life In the Old Church." It Is undoctrlnsl. and while It appeals In lofty vein to ortho dox Christians, It Is broad enough to lay hold on modern day agnostics. Its key note is the uplifting of mankind. the company, said last night that fully $25,000 worth of furniture was stored in the building. Of this some $15,000 Is cov ered fcy Insurance. 'Almost the entire con tents will be ruined, either by the fire or the water poured Into the building. It was the metal sheathing which ren dered the efforts of the firemen almost of jlo avail. Inside the warehouse was a solid mass of flames, while, except for the first outburst, little firo showed upon the exterior of the building. To reach- the fire the firemen had to tear off the strips of metal, and. as they were firmly nailed, It was some time before the hose could be turned Into the building with any effect Mr. Linn said that the only portion of the contents which may be saved were several dozen iron bedsteads in the base ment. All the furniture, chairs, bed steads and tables are a total loss. Tho alarm came In from box 215 at 11:30. Engine 7 came from East Third and East Fine streets. Truck -4 was hurried from Holladay avenue. Chemical 2 and Hose Company 2 came from First and Jefferson streets, and Hose Company 3 from East Seventh and Stephens streets. Within a few minutes six streams of water were turned upon the building and into the in terior as fast as the sheathing could be ripped off. Chief Campbell arrived on the scene as soon as the East Side companies reached tbe spot. The flames seemed to extend through out the entire pile of furniture Inside the blazing building, and so solidly was It packed that the streams of water could play only upon the part nearest the out side. Ten feet away from the building no heat could be felt, and the firemen, unimpeded by beat and but little smoke, fought the flames close at hand. With hooked poles they tore oft the sheathing and pulled out what they could of the blazing and smoking furniture. Many had narrow escapes from falling pieces. There was never any danger of the fire spreading, as tbe metal sheath ing prevented anything of the' kind. After the first outburst of flames tbe Are was easily confined to the Interior, but that was as much as the firemen could do, for it was almost Impossible to get the streams of water Into tbe building. Beside the burning structure on a side track stood two cars tilled with Imported furniture, which would have been un loaded today. Tbe cars had not been -unloaded before because the warehouse was too full. How the fire started Is a mystery. The building faces upon a slightly elevated roadway, with the rear some tlx feet from the ground. According to the state ments of those who first saw the flames. the fire started near the back of the building and seemed to be Inside, among the furniture piles. In an Instant. Then spreading rapidly, the watchman and his family were driven from the building and forced to seek shelter In the house of a friendly neighbor. "I certainly cannot account for the Are in any way," oald Mr. Linn as he watched the flames playing havoc with his fine furniture. "The workman wko assembles the furniture has a small coal oil stove upon which he warms his glue pot. but as he quits work at 5 o'clock I don't see how that could have had anything to do with It. Yen, it would be very easy for anyone to get under the building and set fire at the back. The floor Is not of metal and one could quite easily cut his way up Into the main part and set fire to a furniture pile. Then, of course, it would spread very rapidly. We have always taken great care with this building on account of the other flres In this neigh borhood. A night watchman has always been employed and 1 do not doubt hia care in the least. I was over here my self this afternoon." The furniture warehouse is directly across East Clay street from the buildings -which were consumed by the great fire of June S. last year. It was saved only by the metal sheathing and the attention of the firemen. This time the sheathing has proved the destruction of the con tents. The smouldering' furniture plies con tinued to burn tor several hours this morning after the recall had been sounded atlUS. Engine 7. which came from East Third and East Pine streets, was greatly Im peded by the condition of the roadways between the engine-house and the scene of the fire. Instead of driving directly to the warehouse this engine was forced to go around by way of East Sixth street and thence down Eant Clay, which at the best is tar from being in a safe condi tion. The railroad track also hindered he firemen to some extent. TRUNK LINES TO BLAME. Carrylnr Faculties Can't Handle Permanent Bnslnrst. Minneapolis Tribune. The trunk line railroads of the country must face enormous expenditures for In crease facilities in the next few years, if they are to hold their natural territory and keep their natural business. The stoppage of flouring mills in Minneapolis because, they cannot get their product car ried illustrates conditions from which every Western industry suffers more or less. The condition Is not temporary. Tbe trunk Una railroads have let tbe penna rent business of the country outgrow their -facilities for carrying It- They shrunk from facing the enormous expenditure nec essary to repair the physical decay of a long period, first of destructive competi tion and then of bankruptcy. Those that were most wilting- to meet their responsi bilities did not foresee the enormous growth of business and are now as far be hind as the rest. Tbe railroad system of the country Is like those parts of our beautiful water system where 16 to 24 Inches of water pipe are calmly conducted intea 12-lnch outlet, 'ine trunk lines between Chicago and the Atlantic Coast cannot carry as much busi ness as Is brought them by the trans continental and (Missouri "River lines. They must lroproTe their facilities or lose the business. Some of them are rising to the emer gency. The Pennsylvania Railroad spent JTiSOO.OOO, half its Income, lor betterments last yean It is planning to spend J67.0CO.000 in the next three years. Perhaps' this foresight and energy explains why Pitts burg was the first place where the freight blockade was broken. The Baltimore &. Ohio road, which spent 770.000.0tO in better ments under the receivership, has fallen behind again and simply cannot carry the "Western business offered it. It is said that the road could increase its business 30 per cent if it had the facilities. Therefore, It is going to spend PJ.000,000 for improve ments the coming year. The Erie has made a new loan of $30.000. 000 to Increase 1U facilities. The Xew York Central does not advertise its intentions; but it will have to do something to cure a paralysis of traffic In New England which deprived Boston of coal last Winter and is stirring Interior cities to rebellion. Heavy expenditures for railroad con- 'Etructlon did not come to an end with completion of the main lines of traffic. They must spend more now to keep their business than they spent before to go after it. BRAIN GLAND GOVERNS. Sura-eon's Discovery That "May Kerv-olntlonlxr- Medicine." Phlladelpnla Inquirer. In a paper read before the Phlladlphla County Medical Society, Dr. C. E. de M. Bojous reported a discovery, which. If his ,iiMnna MTTwt will revoluUonlxe. the field of medicine. So startling was it that it was predicted by medical men that Immediate attention would be given it by the entire medical world. His discovery, in brief. Is that the pi tuitary body, heretofore thougnt useless. Is Indeed one of the moot important or gans of the body when its functions are understood. From Dr. Sajous Investigation, cover ing a nerlnd nf 14 vears. five of which were spent in Paris, he is convinced that this pituitary body Is a governing center, which is not only positive in Its effect by controlling the oxygen in me system, but equally positive in responding to medicine, and Arum. When this fact is Anally established and understood medicine will no longer oe administered hvnothetically. but It will become an applied science. Under these conditions certain medldneo will be given and assured results obtained. The dis covery. It Is said, will also be the greatest ednce the discovery of anesthesia. The "governor of the body," or pitui tary gland, is a small ovoid body at tached to the under surface of the cere brum. It has two lobes, the anterior and posterior, the former resembling a ductless gland and the latter showing indlcatlone of nervous elements. It forms an Integral part of the brain. Dr. Sajous began his line of investiga tion by studying the action of oxygen In the body, thinking that it was known how life was sustained many theories would disappear. In explanation he said: "It was discovered that the secretion of two small organs, the "suprarenal glands.' the purpose of which bad been unknown, was carried to the lungs, and that It wan this which took up the oxy gen and formed a new substance. "ad renalin. which then became mixed with the fluid part of the blood and coursed through all blood vessels. "It was this 'adrenoxln.' and not the red corpuscles, an formerly believed. which supplied all tissues with oxygen. Being fluid it could penetrate tbe min utest vessels to the very cells of which the tissues were composed. "The 'suprarenal glands were found to be connected by nerves with a small or gan in the brain, the 'anterior pituitary body.' the functions of which had also been unknown. This turned out to be the governing center of the glands, and a very Important organ, since it proved to be the one which regulated the amount of oxygen absorbed from the air, by regulating the secretion of the suprarenal glalids. "When studied from the standpoint of disease and treatment the 'anterior pit uitary became still more important In the body, as It proved to be the organ upon which all disease-producing pois ons and all other poisons acted. Some were found to stimulate it and others to depress it. Any disease-poison which stimulated it Increased the In-take of oxygen. This, in turn, by causing in creased combustion in the tissues, tended to destroy the poison. The symptoms of this are known as 'fever.' "This also furnished the reason for 'vulnerability' to disease, which was found to mean a weak "pituitary body.' poor oxidization of the tissues, and, there fore, weak vitality. "Consumption Is not at first a disease of the lungs: weakness of this small or gan makes the subject vulnerable to the germs of tuberculosis, both in the intes tines, though contrary to Dr. Koch's view. and in the lungs. The same Is the case with Asiatic cholera, cholera infantum and other foes of mankind. "A subject with a strong pituitary has In his blood all that Is necessary to de stroy disease germs, since he receive a large supply of oxygen. Held Up fay Ilixcuvrnyraan.

Stiarsesta a Few Alterations In Its Construction Bids opened for Supplying- Xeir Pipe. With a few alterations that he has sug gested. Portland will have one of the fin est sectional drydocks In the country. That is the opinion of W. J. Gokey, of New York. Mr. Gokey is an expert in his line, and probably knows more about dry docks than any other man in the United States. He has built drydocks at many places, and has Inspected every one in this country. He also owns a large dock in Mew York. Mr. Gokey has been over to Vancouver and Inspected the drydock that Is being built there, and at a meet ing of the Port of Portland Commission ers yesterday he told the members what he thought of it. In the first place, be suggested to the Commissioners that the wings of the dock be planked on the outside. Instead of In side, as provided for In the specifications. It will not cost any more to make this chance, and he savs It will be found necessary in the future working of the dock. Another change that Mr. Gokey advises is the use of loose rock ballast. Instead of concrete. As part of the bal last will have to be removed when the dock becomes old and the. timbers water- soaked, loose material can. be handled much easier than concrete. A proper start has been made in build ing the dock, according to Mr. Gokey, and the material entering into its construction meets" with his approval in every respect. He examined the work thoroughly In company with Engineer J. B. C Lock wood, and pointed out the changes he would make were the dock his own. Regarding drydock charges. Mr. Gokey said that a different scale prevails In nearly every, city. At New York the rate is 7 cents, at Philadelphia 10 cents, at Boston 12 cents, at San Francisco 40 cents, at Seattle 50 cents. This rate Is on the gross tonnage of steamers and the net tonnage of sailing vessels. He sug gested that about 40 cents would be the proper rate for Portland, with a special rate for river steamers and local boats. Mr. Gokey ,also explained tbe qualifica tions of a dockmaster. and the other em ployes necessary. He thought that the Portland drydock would require the serv ices of about ten men besides the dock master. He figured the cost of maintain ing and operating the dock at I (00 per week. The meeting of the Commissioners was called for the purpose of opening bids for supplying 1000 feet of 20-lnch shore pipe. Only three bids were receive- The Springfield Boiler & Manufacturing Com pany onered to make u lengths of pipe of No. 12 gauge for J13S6, or the same quantity or No. l( gauge lor 13Z less. Bowles & Strow offered IS lengths of No. 14 gauge at $16-53 each. Trenkman & Co.'s bid was fUSUO for the entire quantity. After some discussion, it was decided to lay the bids on the table. The Fort of Portland is not overburdened with a sup ply of money just at present, and the Commissioners are anxious to enter the new year without going into debt. They will probably try to make the present sup ply of pipe do service for some time longer. MORE TRANSPORT BIDS. Proposals Invited From Pacific Ship ping; Companies. Disbursing Quartermaster J. McE. Hyde has received an order from tbe united States Quartermaster-General to Invite proposals for bids for freight and passen ger transportation to and from the Phil ippines for the coming year.

The surveyors who examined the dis masted ship Columbia, which was towed to port on the Sth Inst-, in a derelict and wrecked condition by the Norwegian steamer Norman Isles, are reported to have valued the German ship as she now Ilea at Esquimau Harbor at 327.O0O. and it is also stated that they place the amount required to repair tbe Columbia and place the vessel In condition to go to sea again at .40,000, which is tSCOO less than the amount for which the big tramp turret steamer has libeled the Columbia in the Admiralty Courts a claim having been made on behalf of the owners of the Norman Isles at Tons berg for 375,000, says the Victoria Colonist. Negotiations are now pending between the Norwegian firm and L Tldeman & Co., of Bremen, owners of the Columbia, toward a settlement of the claim. t On Fire at Sea. LIVERPOOL.
