The latter was a part ucr in tho "White Front saloon, under the rooming-house, where the woman met her death. If the woman is in reality Mrs. Coch ran, her death stands out as one of the most pathetic and thrilling features of the fatal fire. According to Mrs. Carrie Cooper, landlady of the house, the aged woman was the first to be aroused by the flames. She was up instantly, .flying from room to room, awakening those in periL She succeeded in warning all the sleep ers, started down the front stairs herself. but turned back upon remembering her pet canary. "I heard Mrs. Cochran cry out that she could not bear to leave her canary to die, said Mrs. Cooper. "She turned and en tered the building, which was enveloped in flames. I never saw her afterwards.

She had often told me that she would never part with her ca nary without making every effort to save its life. This occurred at times when we would hear the flre alarms." Persistent Search Made.

It is nossible that more are nia- den under th? immense piles of debris, j and not until this has been thoroughly gone over will it be definitely known whether the dead number more than four. This work, it is said, will require several days. It was feared that some children had oecn cremated, out Mrs. Carrie Cooper, of the Mount Hood House, and Ira Cooper, proprietor of the Alpine Rooms, assured Deputy Coroner Finley that there wero no children in their estab lishments, and this is believed to clear up the matter. So far as known, every one has ecen accounted for except Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hilton, who occupied rooms in the rear of the Mount Hood House. They have not been seen, so far as can bfr ascer tained, since the fire Many Humors Afloat. There have, been so many rumors afloat that I scent a most unsatisfactory day," said DeDutv Coroner Finley. "The work of identifying the dead and .accounting for persons supposed to have been m tno "bulldlnsrs could be greatly expedited II those who got out would only so report to me or to the police, and it would assist lr persons knowing those missing would call to see the unidentified."

JOHNS GRRHTS L1GENSE AFTER FIGHT OF TWO TEARS v IiIQUOR "WINS. Hotel Company Is GItcr AUMrlty to Sell Intoxicants "fey tfee City Council. Atr a rhcht lasting two years, the lat oy 4inif of which period has been, marked vr. onns!dfrablfi bitterness bet wean the A warrinir factions, the St. Johns Coun pi! last nUrht granted a liquor license to the St. Johns Hotel Company. Attorney "W. H. McGarry. counsel for the hotel company, walked away from the meeting with the license in his pocket, and the sa loon building lately erected on Burlington street, near tbe- City. Hall, promises soon to he dolnc business. The vote was three to three, and the decision was effected by a vote in favor of the ordinance author izing the issuance of the license by Mayor W. H. King. The temperance element In St. Johns is not expected to accept the verdict of the Council as final, and petitions for an inlunction and other means to prevent the sale of liquors in St. Johns will probably be the beginning of extended litigation over the saloon license question. At Ike last meeting of the City Council held a week ago. the members refused to errant a license to sell liquors to the St. Johns Hotel Company. At the session last nlcht Attorney McGarry appeared and ar gued the matter, contending the former action savored of Illegality, when this phase of the matter was presented, the vote was changed and the license was or dered issued. A bond of J600G was given by Attorney McGarry for his clients. The saloon building on Burlington street is now being fitted up ier the sale of Intoxicants and the bar fixture are seine moved in.

DISTRICT SWEPT BY FIRE BUILDINGS NUMBERED. 3 AND 4 ARE OF LIFE OCCURRED LANE'S NEW POLICY Disorderly Women Ordered to North End. COMPROMISE WITH VICE In the Municipal Court, Detective Kay Announces That the Mayor Has Decided to Segregate Notorious Women. Mayor Harry Lane and his Democratic lieutenants have decided to drive every disorderly woman in Portland into a dis trict north of Burnsldo street, and orders have been Issued to the police- to carry on the crusade until this plan Is worked out. In the Municipal Court yesterday mora ine. Acting Detcctivo Kay made the offi cial announcement regarding the new and startling policy of tho Mayor, when Ger trude Mueller and Maude Powell were ar raigned on charges and pleaded guilty. Judge Cameron listened to a statement rom Attorney Charles A. Petraln, who said he understood that a new order had been issued from the City Hall, and all women of questionable reputation were to be driven from the uptown dis tricts to the North End. 'As I understand It. there Is no charge against these two women except that they have been occupying a partus en Ln at a hotel located at Park and Stark streets," said Attorney Petraln. "I think the offi cers have nothing else against them. Of course, we plead guilty, but we wish to know whether we can live anywhere out side of the North End. If the Mayor wants us to change our place of resi dence, why, then, to suit the fine mind of the executive and please the administra tion, we'll move." 'Is that correct" asked Judge Camer on of Acting Detective Kay. That is correct." answered Kay. and he then announced the new policy of the Mayor. The cases were continued until Thurs day. o On a state charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, W. N. Matlock was held to the grand Jury by Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday morning, and on a city charge of carrying a concealed weapon, he was fined. $10. Bonds of -J were furnished at once, ana tne young- man is at liberty, pending the action of District Attorney Manning, who says he will Indict him In the Circuit Court. Matlock last week fired two shots at Clayton Gardner, being enraged because the latter ejected him from a Third-street rooming-house. Neither shot took effect, and Matlock was immediately arrested. There has been some talk to the effect that because of Matlock's prominence he would not be prosecuted by District At torney Manning, but yesterday morning Attorney Charles A. Petraln. who ap peared as counsel for the defendant, stated to Judge Cameron that .mx. canning naa said be would indict Matloclc It had been reported to Deputy City Attorney Fitxgerald that there would be no prosecution in the Matlock case as far as the District Attorney was con cerned, and he therefore filed a city com plaint. MInnIo Watklns failed to keep her. prom ise to remain away from court for six months, and upon her return was sen tenced to serve 99 days in the City Jail. "Can't you send me to the County Jail to serve ItT' she asked. "The natron tells me that you want to go to the County Jail so that you can cigarettes," said Judge Cameron. She denied it. but had to go to the City JalL George Billings, charged with burglary, was held to the grand Jury. He was ar rested with Joe LaBarge. Both are youths who have been la constant trouble with the police. TO BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD Citizens of tho Peninsula Hold an Enthusiastic Meeting. An enthusiastic meeting of the rcsUients of the Peninsula was held last nlgbt In Artisans Hall under the auspices of the University Board of Trade, W. J. Peddi cord presiding. The object of the raect lnr was to consider the question of fire protection, but the speaker expected from the Portland Fire Department could not attend, and the subject of Improving streets was taken up. F. I- McKenna and others spoke of the failure of contractors to bid on street work about Portsmouth, and It was urged that this was unjust and should be overcome in some way. Improvement of several streets petitioned for bad been held up because there were no bids for the work. Mesers. McKenna, Ketcham and Hart were appointed to con fer with contractors relative to aecuriac bids cm street werk. On tfee extension el Chautauqua aveaue. between Wiiiaatette aad CelumMa fele vard, the president aad secretary were Instructed to draw up a petition to the Council. The board decided to push tho improve ment of streets wherever possible. The board la asking for more electric lights and the extension of the water main to the city limits. F. I.

President Ped dlcord made some remarks on tho-betterment of the community, after which the Ladles Civic Improvement Club, which bad accomplished so much, for the neigh borhood, furnished a short entertainment. YOUNG GIRL DISAPPEARS Thlrtecn-l'car-Old 3ryrtlc Davis Is Ititoslng. Myrtle Davis, the 12-year-old daugh ter of Mrs. C W. Davis, of West ave nue, has been missing- from her home since Sunday afternoon, when she ac companied her elder sister, Ethel, to a skating- rink. The elder girl returned home and told her mother that she had left Myrtle in company with a soldier whom tho younger girl claimed to kiow, saying- that she would be home soon, and since that time, which the older girl gives as about S:15 Sunday evening-, nothing- has been heard from her. The pollco have been notified to look out for the sir! and have instituted a search for her. The missing- girl is said to bo quite pretty and looks to be atleast 19, al though three years younger. Her motner and fciater are almost pros trated over her disappearance, and Im mediate friends of the family are fol lowing every clew that may lead to her discovery. The theory has been advanced that the girl may have accompanied tho 3 1 Boxes of Gold 300 Boxes of For the mot up from these Y- I - O - Grape - Nuts 331 people will earn these prizes Around the fireside or about the well-, lighted family reading-table during the Winter evenings the children and grown ups can play with their wits and see how many words can be made. 3 people making the greatest number of words will each receive a little .box containing a $10.00 gold piece. 10 people will each win one box con taining a $5.03 gold piece. 300 people will each win a box containing $LO0 In paper money and one person who makes the highest number of words over all contestants will receive a box con taining $1-00.00 in gold. It Is really a most fascinating bit of fun to take up the list evening after evening and see how many words can be added. A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play. Any word authorized by Webster's dic tionary will be counted, but no name of person. Both the singular and plural can be used, as, for instance, "grape" and grapes." The letters in "T-I-O-Grape-Nuts" may be repeated in the same word. Geographical name authorized by Web ster will be counted. Arrange the words in alphabetical dassM. all those beginning with A to gether and those beginning with E to come under E, etc When you are writing down the words leave seme spaces, in the A, E and other columns to fill in later as new words come to yea. for they will spring into mind( every evening It le almost certain that some contest ants will tie with others. In such cases a prize identical in value and character with that offered in that class shall be awarded to each. Each one will be re quested to send, with the list of words a plainly written letter describing the ad vantages of Grape-Nuts, but the contest ant is not required to purchase a pkg; These letters are not to contain poetry, or fancy flourishes; but simple, truthful statements ef fact. For Illustration: A person may have experienced some incip ient or chronic ails traceable to unwise se lection of food that failed to give the body and brain the energy, health and power dedred. Seeking better conditions, a change in food Is made and Grape-Nuts and creasa used in place of the former diet. Sppee one quits the meat, fried potatoes, starchy, sticky messes of half ceeked oats or wheat aad cuts out the coffee. Try. say, for breakfast a bit of fnrir, a disfe ef Grape-Nuts and cream, twe eett-feeOed eggs, a slice e-f hard toast and a cup ef PeeMMn Feed. Coffee. Some aater says: "A man would faint away THOSE IN WHICH LOSS soldier to Vancouver, but as the sis ter does not know to what regiment or company the man belongs. It will be rather hard to locate him If they went to Vancouver separately, as Is believed to be the case, for Investigation over there failed to reveal any soldier returning- to Vancouver Sunday night in company with a young- girl. The search is bclns prosecuted with vigor by the authorities of .this city as well as at Vancouver. Myrtle Davis Is described as a blonde and when leaving home Sunday, wore a blue skirt, short gray coat, plaid waist and a brown hat. May Xcavc Richards Unmolested. "I have not yet appointed any commit tee to Investigate the Richards matter." said Mayor Lane yesterday, "nor do I know how soon I shall do so. If ever." ho added, significantly. "The liquor license committee of the Council is competent to handlo the question, in my opinion, and. besides, if Richards shows a disposition to behave himself, I believe In letting him alone." When told that It was rumored Rich ards contemplated being good hereafter, the Mayor received the announcement with evident satisfaction. "If he is," said he, "I shall not molest him in the least, but he certainly must make a very radical change." As yet tho arc light planned to be placed at the Park-street entrance to Richards has not materialized, but it is understood that it will be installed with as little delay as possible. Edward Woods Arrested. Edward Woods was arrested at the scene of tho flre yesterday afternoon by Sergeant of Ppllce Tom Taylor, on com plaint of Alex Simmons. -who alleges that wooas assauuea mm. aom men were taken to the station, where Woods was allowed to go on his own recognizance by Judge Cameron, while the complaining witness gave ball for his appearance at the Municipal Court this morning. Greenbacks words made letters on that." but ray dear friend we win put dollars to your pennies that the noon hour wUl find a man on our breakfast huskier and with a stronger heart-beat and clearer working brain than he ever had on the old diet. Suppose. If you have never really made a move for absolutely clean health that pushes you alonp each day with a spring In your step and a reserve vigor In mus cle and brain that makes the doing- of thlnga a pleasure, you Join the army of "plain old common senee" and start In now. Then after you have been 2 or 3 weeks on the Grape-Nuts training you write a statement of how you used to be and how you are now. The simple facts will Interest others and surprise yourself. Wo never publish names except on per mission, but wo often tell the facts In the newrvapera, and when requested give the names by private letter. There is plenty of time to get personal cxporienco with GrapeKuts and write a sensible, truthful letter to be sent In with the list of words, as the contest does not close until April 30th. 1505L So start In as soon as you like to building words, and start in using Grape-Nuts. Cut this state ment out and keep the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Kuts before you, and when you write your letter you will have some reason to write on the subject "Why I Owe Grape-Nuts." Itemember 331 persons will win prises; which will be awarded in an exact and Just manner as soon a the list can be counted after April 00th. 1S0&T Every contestant will be sent a printed list of names and addresses of winners on appli cation, in order to have proof that the prizes are sent as agreed. The company is well known all over the world for ab solute fidelity to its agreement, and every single one of the zsi winners may depend on receiving the prize won. Many persons might feel it useless to contest, but when one remembers .the great numoer or prizes rail the curios ity of seeing, how many words can really be made up evening after evening- and the good, natural fun and education In the competition, it seems worth the trial: there Is no cost, nothing to lose and a fine opportunity to win one of the many boxes of gold and greenbacks. We make the prediction that some who win a prize of gold or greenbacks will also win back health and strength worth more to them than a wagon fall of money prizes. There are no preliminaries: cut out this statement and go at it. and send in' the list and letter before April 39th; 155. to Fostum Cereal Co., Ltd., BatUe Creek. Mich., and let your name aad address be plainly written. Tbe Columbia Life & Trust Company Is duly organized under the insurance laws of the State of Oregon, with a fully paid cash capital of one hundred thousand dollars. It furnishes life insurance in its simplest form and investment bonds for endowing the insurance. Life Insurance' is a contract for the payment of a given sum of money on the death of the insured, and from the nature of the eontract,cannot be paid prior to the death of the insured. Contracts or policies which, in addition to the life insur ance involved, guarantee the payment of money during the lifetime of the insured, are contracts combining investment with insurance, and in event of the death of the insured, such investment is absolutely forfeited to, and confiscated by, the company carrying the contract. For this reason, and in order to prevent such, injustice to the policy-holder, the Columbia Life & Trust Company sep arates the insurance element from .the investment element, and issues a separate contract for each, thus securing to the' policy holder and his beneficiaries both the insurance and the invest ment deposits. EXAMPLE, AGE 35. $10,000 insurance costs annually $150 To have this insurance paid up in 20 years, buy a Columbia Life & Trust Company bond for $3750, costing annually 120 Total annual expense for 20 years $270 The bond guarantees the payment of its face value in 20 years, and in addition thereto a share of the profits. These profits can be drawn in cash and the interest from the bond will carry the insurance. The insurance and bond both being payable at death, is tho equivalent of having $13,750 of fully paid insurance. The bond has cash surrender and paid-up values, at the end of every year from the date of its issuance. Should death occur at any time before its maturity, all payments made on the bond are returned, in addition to the face of the policy. The Columbia Life & Trust Company leads the way in making returns to the policy-holder for all that he has paid. 'The public is respectfully invited to make the fullest investigation of its policies and bonds. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. TO M. LADD, President. M. M. JOHXSON, Treaaurer. TIIEO. D. WILCOX, Vlce-Fre.
