OLD BOILER WORKS BURN Flames Threaten Gas Plant and Buildings and Wharves Adjoin ing Men From the Cruiser Charleston Volunteer Help. .fire destroyed the old boiler works of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, at Front and Everett streets, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The property was owned by the Oregon Railway & Naviga tion Company, having made the purchase from the original owner about a year ago. . The loss on the building and con tents is estimated at $5000. fully covered by Insurance. The location of the fire was such as to 'make the blaze appear far more serious than it really was. Just across the street to the north was the plant of the Portland Gas Company, while adjoining the burning building on the south was the large brick business block occupied by T. M. Stephens & Co. This building was not damaged, the fire being con fined to the structure in which it orig inated, although the dock along the river front and at the rear of the brick build ing was burned so badly that it will have to be replaced. Frank Boehme, engineer for the Port land Gas Company, discovered the fire, which started In the old engine-room, presumably from spontaneous combustion in a heap of oily rags. He Immediately turned In an alarm to which five West Bide companies and the fireboat George H. Williams responded. Bluejacket to the Rescue. The instant the fire alarm was sounded Executive Officer Russell, of the cruiser Charleston, sent 17 men In two boats to the assistance of the fire department, since the blaze at that time threatened the congested wholesale district of the city. The jackles, in charge of three lieutenants, reported to. Fire Chief Camp . bell, who was directing operations on the fireboat, from which the fire was being fought from the river side. Shed ding their jackets Uncle Sam's men turned to and greatly assisted the mem bers of the fireboat crew in handling the different lines of hose with which ef fective work was done in preventing the flames frdm spreading. While these operations wore In progress Assistant Fire Chief Laudenklos was di recting the work on land of the West Side companies, which had several streams playing on- the flames on Front and Everett streets. By the giving way of a fence at the corner of Front and Everett streets, where several hundred persons had con gregated to watch the Are, two children were slightly injured. Burned Building's History. The building that was destroyed was formerly occupied by the Willamette Iron Steel Works but when this com pany moved to Its present location. Front and Seventeenth streets, a year ago, the property was sold to the O. R. & N. Compnny. Later It was leased by its new owners to the Columbia Contract Com pany, which built a number of barges there, including the Washington and the Walacot. More recently the building was being used by the Hammond Manufac turing Company, which had begun con structing a dredge. This was destroyed with the building. Fire Chief Campbell and the owners of property adjoining the gutted building are especially grateful for the help vol unteered by the Charleston's men, who worked like veterans with the fire de partment In suppressing what might have proved a costly conflagration. Familiar with the Toutine of fire drill practice on the Charleston, the Jackles did efficient service on the fireboat. MR. CARTERDENIES IT Says He Is Not a Relative of County Commissioner Barnes.

ROWDYISM ON RIVER BOAT Passengers Disgusted 'With Actions of Crew of lone. Passengers returning from Camas, Wah.. on the river steamer lone yes terday afternon, report a disgraceful riot aboard the boat In the course of which women passengers were shame fully abused and Insulted. The lone bad been engaged to run an excur sion from Oregon City to Camas, where a game of baseball was played during the afternoon between teams from the two cities. The trouble took place on the return trip and Is said by the pas sengers to have been started by the nightwatchman and the purser, who are said to have been Intoxicated. Included among the passengers were a number of Portland business men. who were returning from Camas where they had spent Saturday. Among them was H. V. Reed, representing the In ternational Correspondence School. Mr. Reed said last night that a formal complaint will be filed today against the belligerent members of the boat's crew before Captain E. S. Edwards and George Fuller, local United States In spectors of hulls and boilers. "The purser and the nightwatchman were both drunk and became decided ly objectionable to the passengers shortly after the boat left Camas," said Mr. Reed last night. "They used the most offensive language, requir ing the women passengers to aban don the cabin. Finally the nightwatch man, who is a one-armed man, got in to an argument with the fireman, who sought to escape the abusive treat ment but his tormentor followed him all over the boat until, when cornered, the fireman slapped the man. At this the nightwatchman went to the upper deck and brought the mate back with him, arriving Just in time to hear one of the passengers, G. H. Young, a furniture dealer at Oregon City, make this remark: "'I think the fireman, wae in the right." "At this the mate became angered and attacked Young, attempting to strike the passenger, who backed off defending himself from his assailant. Other passengers went to the assis tant of Young, while the nightwatch man went to the help of the mate, who shouted out abusive language. "Absolutely no courtesy was shown the passengers, who were compelled to put up with this treatment until the boat reached Portland. I do not know where the Captain was unless he was In the pilothouse, for we did not see him at any time during the trip from Camas to this city. "There was not the sllghest justi fication for the insolent and abusive treatment by the boat officers. There was no drunkenness among any of the passenegrs, and there would have been no trouble at sll but for the liquor in the possession of the members of the crew. Whisky was the cause of the disturbance, which the passengers were unable to quell." BONDS WILL BE ILLEGSL ISSUES IMPROPERLY VOTED, SAYS JUDGE SMITH. Gives Reasons for This Opinion in a Ijectnre to Socialists Refer endum Law Attacked. Two reasons were assigned by Judge Seneca Smith, in an address to Portland Socialists In Allsky Hall last night, why the bonds voted at the recent municipal election are illegal. In the first place, he said, the different meas ures were not submitted in the manner prescribed in the city charter, and sec ondly the City Council exceeded its powers in submitting the subjects on which a vote was taken. In answer as to what steps should be taken to pre vent the issuance of the bonds that had been voted. Judge Smith suggest ed that - the city be enjoined from pro ceeding with the sale of the bonds. "One important section in the city charter, which contains several pro visions relating to the issuance of bonds, was Ignored entirely by the City Council in submitting the question of these bonds aggregating over J5.000, 000," said Judge Smith. "That section of the charter requires that whenever the purchase of a public utility is pro posed, the Council shall prepare a statement of the service about to be acquired, on which estimates shall be made as to the probable cost of pur chasing and operating the same. - "This procedure shall be followed only by the initiative of the legal vot ers, who are required to petition for that action by the Council. When this Information has been secured, then a special election shall be ordered, when the one subject and matters germane thereto Bhall be submitted to a vote. The cost of the proposed utility or serv ice can be provided for by an appropri ation of funds or the issuance of bonds, but in no case will the proposition be legal and be declared to have passed unless It has received two-thirds of the total vote. "These conditions of the charter were not observed and the Council plainly exceeded its powers by submitting the different matters to a vote. There Is but one conclusion, and that is that all of the bonds voted at the last city elec tion are Illegal. The charter was still further violated since notice of the bond election was not published as is required by law." Other speakers gave five-minute ad dresses, and the meeting was closed with a short talk by J. D. Stephens, chairman of the evening. Mr. Stephens discussed the initiative and referendum law, which he called the "U'Ren law." In his remarks the speaker censured W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, for his at titude in opposing the calling of the referendum on the 1125,000 University of Oregon appropriation MIL, "Aa a final step to prevent this meas ure going before the people for a refer endum vote the petitions calling for a vote thereon have been thrown out on technical grounds," he said. "U'Ren also proposed a law by the initiative that would require everybody to pay fare on the railroads and then stole the enacting clause. This Invalidated the measure, notwithstanding 46,000 voters In the state indorsed it at the polls. U'Ren then went to the Legislature and lobbied for the Freeman bill, which compels the railroads to Issue passes to every state, county and district of ficer In the state. "The truth of the matter is the refer endum is In greater danger from its friends than from its enemies." MANY BUILDING NEW HOMES Activity in Rose City Park Greater Than at Any Previous Time. Excavations for the basement of the new homes now being built in Rose City Park for Vincent Spath and Smith Gwln have been completed. The erection of the superstructure will proceed Im mediately, and these two men will prob ably be the first to build a complete home In that addition. The location upon which Mr. Spath builds Is Carvel, avenue near Tillamook; the Gwin home is being erected at the corner of Thompson ave nue and Mishlah. Several others, it is understood, will commence building this week. One home will be quite a novelty in architecture, having been planned on the German Baronial type. This house will be built at the corner of Tillamook and Aldton by Lewis H. Head, to cost about $3000. Reception to Graduates. The Alumni Association of the South Mount Tabor Grammer School, gave the annual reception to the graduat ing class of the school Saturday even ing. The Important feature of the evening was the presentation, by the association, of a Norfolk Island Pine and jardlnere to W. A. Law, the prin cipal of the school, who leaves this year to take a position In Vancouver, Wash. Mr. Law is highly respected by his pupils, and all who know him are sorry to have htm leave.

LID IS EXTENDED CLACKAMAS Portland's Second Closed Sun day Drier Than Its Predecessor. MILWAUKIE OASIS CLOSED Thirsty Hosts Who Cross the County Line In Quest of "Booze' Meet With Bitter Disappointment. Clubs Sell No Liquor. The second battle of Bull Run was fought In Portland and Multnomah County yesterday, raging from 1 o'clock In the morning until midnight, at which time an hour's truce was declared. Not only did the wings of General Manning's army spread over the whole of Multno mah, but scouting parties, sent out during the day, returned with reports that a pitched battle had been fought In Clacka mas County, a successful assault being made on Oregon City, and a slight but entirely successful skirmish putting Mil waukie off the alchollc mav. The carnage was something awful in Multnomah County, and when General Manning's army bivouacked for the night, sleeping on their arms, the redoubtable commander of the Bull Run forces retired to his tent, hung his flaming sword of civic righteousness on the bed-post and dreamed, it Is supposed, of the reward that comes to all good and faithful serv ants. As in the Civil War, the battle of Bull Run was fought on Sunday, and history says It was a sweltering hot Summer day, something like yesterday In Portland. Thousands upon thousands of the army of Thirst were lined up against Manning's forces, but he had repeated his famous order of a week ago, when the first battle of Bull Run was fought, "Nothing but Im mediate and unconditional surrender and I propose to move immediately upon your works." And he did. He was ably assist ed by Colonel Giitzmacher's Zouaves. The battle began. Every saloon was closed up tighter than Hetty Green's fist around a two-bit piece. The enemy formed a solid phalanx, one division shouting "On to Estacada," another "On to Vancouver" and so "on." To which "Stonewall" Man ning replied, "We're 'on to you every where. You drink Bull Run or you go without" Bars Roosevelt Lemonades. Outposts early in the day forwarded dispatches to the headquarters of the "Bull Run" army, all favorable in tone. Orderly Patrick Maher, by brevet, reporting- from Gresham that Constable Johnson, in charge of the Gresham Volunteers, was sitting on the front steps of the Twelve-mile House to pre vent the sale of Roosevelt lemonades with "big sticks" in them. The Burgomaster of Gresham de tailed a squad of Brass-Button Regu lars to outpost duty under the shade trees in front of the two ammunition magazines of the booze army there, and couriers arriving in Portland late last night reported "All Is quiet on the Clackamas," meaning that while there were signs of the enemy in the liquid zones of Boring, Barton, Eagle Creek and Estacada, there were no hostile demonstrations. During the progress of yesterday's campaign the automobile again proved its worth as an engine of war. General '"Bob" Stevens, in command of Field Marshal Manning's right wing, accom panied by Adjutant Deputy McCann, set out in his touring- car reconnoltering Troutdale, Gresham, the Twelve-mile House and Unnton. He found that his auxiliaries had carefully deployed their forces into a fine line of battle and there were no Indications of an out break, save at Troutdale, where he found that a party of Insurgents bad deserted the regular booze army late Saturday night and rolled a keg of beer into a bosky dell, where, beneath the shade of sheltering palms, or something of the sort, they were quaffing huge flagons of the amber brew. There were no arrests. Drier Than First Sunday. Seriously, Portland's second Sun day's sojourn in the confines of the Bull Run Irrigation project was less blessed with intoxicating drinks than was last Sunday's cold water outing. It was so Saharalike that the average man's bump of sobriety would look like a dent in a temperance pledge. This was true in Portland, at the so cial clubs, at the roadhouses, at St. Johns, at Milwaukle (after 10 o'clock A. M.), in Oregon City, Troutdale, Gresham and Linnton. While hot and sizzling caravans, a thousand strong or more, tried to break through the arid barriers over at Mil waukle, and the highball hunters stalked the jungles of Boring, Barton, Eagle Creek and Estacada for some of the "old familiar bug juice," there was no disturbance of any kind, and the same was true of Vancouver. Traffic on this particular lnterurban line was large, but the hundreds, who journeyed over there in the afternoon went to hear the band concert at the Barracks, and those who so desired took a few drinks going and coming, but it was plain that no general exodus had taken place. The social clubs in town closed down their lids tighter than they did a week before, though Exalted Ruler Upton of the Elks, after a conference with the house committee Issued an order that nothing In the line of liquor of any kind should be sold over the bar in the club rooms. The order was Issued on the ground that it would place the lodge in bod odor if it attempted to circumvent Manning's edict by turning Its rooms into a semi-public drinking place on Sunday when all other places were closed. There was nothing sold at the Concordia, the Commercial, the Arlington or University Clubs, it was said by employes at these places. The saloons with billiard and poolrooms n connection were open as usual, though they were compelled to shut off their bars with wire screens In stead of with cloth curtains as was done a week ago. Quiet Day for Police. The police had a quiet time of it dur ing the early hours of Sunday, and but a single raid was made, that was at a joint at 38S Everett street, where Detec tive Maher and Constable Lou Wagner, at 9 o'clock last night, arrested seven colored men for violating the Sunday closing law and for shooting craps. The men arrested gave the following names when booked at headquarters: Foster Cain, Reese Lee, Will Miller, Albert Sides, G. Stoute, George Dixon and George Duncan. Chief Deputy Sheriff Proebstel and Deputy Boyer sat on the St. Johns' lid all day, but no attempt was made to open any of the saloons there. The usual crowds of rum-soaked . dere licts who had taken time by the forelock, Saturday night, and tried to drink enough to last them over Sunday, were gathered In. They were picked up, 11 in all, in different parts of the city. Most of them, apparently, had been trying to play parts in the comic opera "Babes in Toy land." They had "put down six, and carried two," as the little ditty goes. Some had put down six or IS several times and couldn't "carry" any. ' The first pilgrim In the weary land of inebriety picked up was J. J. Splllman, colored. He was found at Twenty-fourth and Sherman streets at 2:43 A. M. At first he said he was going to the ball game, and finally admitted after the ride to the station that he was on his way to the crematory, where he Is emploved skinning horses. He had a half-filled Jug and two half-filled quart bottles under his arm. He was better off than either Jug or flask, for he was complete ly full. Addressing Captain Bailey, he re marked: "Cap'n, man doctor proscribes dis yere honey dew foh mah healf, an' say, Cap'n, 'fyou had a Job lak Ah's got. Ah reck'ns yoh all wouldn' fink nuffin' ob takin' a leddle som'p'n foh yoh healf. It anv good foh blood pizen." Started Home With Bottle. James O'Leary was found sound asleep in the street at Twenty-first and Wash ington at 3 o'clock, snoring so loudly that the windows In the houses nearby rattled. Ho admitted having started home with a bottle, but when Chief Assayer Captain Bailey took him to the police laboratory and searched his personal effects for al coholic beverages. He couldn't even find "trace," as the chemists say. The other wayfarers were just plain, unvarnished drunks. Between 12 and 1 o'clock, last night, a few saloons opened up, but In a i-ery few instances was there any extraordinary rush of business. Manning's lid, In other words, was down tighter than ever, and there seemed to be fewer complaints and lamentations. The lid went on In Milwaukle yes terday morning at 10 o'clock and the two saloons in that town were closed the rest of the day. Orders were re ceived about 10 o'clock in the morn ing by the saloonkeepers from Sheriff R. B. Beattle, of Clackamas County, to close up, which they did immediately. The saloonmen were much dismayed over the orders, as they had laid In a large stock of beer to assuage the thirst of Portland citizens. Last Sun day they ran short, but now they have more than they need. Thousands Seek in Vain. Thousands of thirsty men from this city rode out In the cars to Milwaukle yesterday, few of them being aware that it had become a closed town. Much disgust was expressed when they were refused admittance to the drinking places, which were as silent as tombs. All day long the would-be topers streamed out. The "knowing one" walked up to the ealoons and gave the "safe signal," but the doors remained closed Just the same. The people of Milwaukle appeared immensely pleased at the condition of affairs, and there were few citizens who did not wear satisfied smiles. Conditions in Milwaukle throughout the day were quiet and peaceful. Many of the Portland arrivals Joked good naturedly about being fooled over get ting a drink, while others sat on the edge of the sidewalks and studied the matter over. A big tin pail hanging on the water hydrant in front of Arlgha's saloon relieved the strain to a considerable extent Many Take to Timber. At the O. W. P. ticket office in this city it was given out that three times the usual number of special Sunday tickets were sold to points on the Es tacada and Cazadero line yesterday, and almost twice as many as on last Sunday. The Sellwood cars during the day carried at least two and many of them three "trailers" all day, many of them being loaded with the topers who hadn't heard of the "shut-down" in Milwaukle. HAVE-TWO PLANS ON FOOT WOOLEX MILL FOR GLADSTONE MAT BE LARGE OR SMALL. One Scheme Insures Immediate Re turns on Money Invested, and the Other Looks to the Future. OREGON CITY, Or., June 23. (Special.) Two propositions are In front of the promoters of the scheme to establish a woolen mill at Gladstone, the first of which is to erect a large mill and to op erate the plant by electricity; and the second to build a small mill and at once to develop the power from the Clackamas River. The first proposition will be adopted providing low rates on electric power can be obtained from the Port land General Electric Company. It is estimated that less than 100 horsepower will be abundant to operate a large fac tory. The Bishops, Who formerly operated a wooien mm at Salem, together with Judge Thomas F. Ryan, who was Interested in the Albany woolen mills, are behind the project, and have in mind the ultimate development of the Immense body of water that comes down the Clackamas. It is stated that nearly 1000 horsepower can be developed at a low stage of water. and in addition to having a sufficient amount of water to provide power for the woolen mill, there would be several hundred horsepower for transmission and sale wherever a market could be found. The Gladstone Real Estate Association has offered the new company a site for $1500, and has given them the right to use the water without cost. The ex pense of construction of a plant to util ize the water would probably not be less than 5100,000 and the promoters would pre fer placing this money in the mill, where it would earn something on the invest ment from the start, rather than to build a small mill. It Is of course the inten tion to develop the water power in time. Judge Ryan says that the Albany Wool en Mill, which was destroyed by fire last week, was furnished water power from the Santiam Canal Company for about J50 per month, and if the Portland Gen eral Electric Company Is willing to make concessions, there will be little delay in carrying out the project. The possible entrance of a competitor to the field will no doubt be considered. ARREST AT HOOD RIVER William Wiley Taken for Forgery by Portland Detective. HOOD RIVER, Or., June 23. (Spe cial.) William Wiley, who is said to be a civil engineer employed by the O. R. & N., was arrested here today on a charge of forgery. Wiley was taken in charge by a private detective from Portland who arrived here last night and who, at the request of Portland authorities, was commissioned by Judge Henderson to make the arrest. Wiley came to Hood River last Tues day, accompanied by his wife, who he said was sick, and she remained in her room at the hotel until today, when she accompanied her husband back to Port land, KISER KODAK DEVELOPING. Imperial iiotel Also tJcenlc Photoa, GOOD RESULTS DF PURE FDDD LI Prof. Remington, Authority on Pharmacy, Discusses Its . Workings. ADULTERATION MADE HARD Formerly Foods and Drugs Were Anything but What They Pur ported to Be Coffee .Made of Old Ship Biscuit. "The pure food and drug bill passed by Congress- is the most important measure passed in Washington since the adoption of the Constitution," as serted Professor Joseph P. Remington, dean of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, at the Portland Hotel last night. "It is amazing that the public and press are not more Interested in the measure than they are. The pure drug portion of the bill itself means the saving of thousands of lives yearly. Many lives have been lost, and many a happy home made sad, by the adulter ation, or lack of strength, In drugs used at a critical moment during a patient's illness." Professor RemUigton has given many years of his lif to the study of this matter. He is dean of the oldest col lege on the American Continent, profes sor of theory and practice of phar macy, and director of the laboratory. He is also chairman of the United States Pharmacopoeia revision commit tee on organization that sets the stand ard of drugs in America. The organization meets every ten years, and has been in existence ever since 1820. The last meeting was held in 1900. Delegates from the medical and pharmaceutical colleges, universi ties, the Army, Navy end Marine hos pitals, and American medical associa tions are represented at the gathering. From 300 to 400 delegates from all parts of the United States attend. 13 a Noted Author. Professor Remington is also an author of international reputation, having writ ten the United States Pharmacopoeia, and is chief editor of the United States Dis pensary, called the "Apothecaries' Bible.' Consequently he has been In close touch with the pure food and drug law, and has watched It through all its phases. "Dr. Wiley is the most wonderful man in his capacity of any man in the coun try," he said, "and he does not nearly get the appreciation he deserves. It is through him that the practical working of the law reform in food and drugs is possible. "Speaking of the pure food law, I won der if people really know what the en forcement of this law means. Adultera tion In foods had become so common that the enforcement of reform was a gigantic thing. The Government had to face thousands of firms which had made money by false representation in the foods that they sold. "To show how far adulteration had gone, I have a machine back East which was invented for the sole purpose of making false coffee. It moulded a concoc tion of stale ship biscuits Into the exacto shape of a green coffee bain. Coloring was used to make it look eithfr roasted or fresh from the tropics. By leaving this moulded coffee bean in a sack with a few pounds of real coffee, all mixed up together, the inventor secured even the odor of coffee for the imitation 'article. It was perfected to such a point that de tection was almost impossible. fc "Spices, fruit, meats and hundreds of other foods were adulterated so that the consumer never knew when he had the real article. There is one thing about the food, however, and that Is that it was seldom injurious. The pure food law allows the consumer to know nearly what he Is eating. But we all like to know Just exactly what we consume, and when we order a thing we don't want to get something else. "But adulteration in drugs! Do you know what that means? Suppose a much-loved mother is very ill, and the physician sends to the drug store for some special drug, upon which the thread of her life depends. Suppose that when the drug is secured, it is about a tenth the strength It Is supposed to be, or has been mixed with something else that is cheaper. The mother dies because of the desire for big profits on the part of the manufacturer of the drug. Label Must Be Truthful. "The now law means that every con coction in a bottle has to be marked on the label so that the user knows exactly what it is and may act accord ingly. This feature of the law is one of the greatest achievements of the times and means the saving of many patients from death. "Of course the measure only applies to Interstate traffic in drugs. As long as the drugs are not shipped out of the state the Federal law does not apply. The state should pass similar laws to perfect the good work, and to my knowledge 17 states have done this. "To enforce such a measure as the pure food and drug law has been a big thing for the Government to han dle. This was foreseen, because while the law was passed notice was given that It would not be effective until the first of the year. This was to en able hundreds of firms who were using adulteration methods a chance to suit their operations to the reform. Had the law been effective at once, it DOCTOR'S FOOD TALK Selection of Food One of the Most Im - portant Acts lm Life. A Massachusetts doctor says: "Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal con trol that the proper selection of food should be, and Is one .of the most im portant acts in life. "On this subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility, and more powerful in point of nutriment, than the modern Grape-Nuts, four heap ing teaspoons of which Is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal, and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another. "I am convinced 'that the extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase the term of human life, add to the sura total of hap piness and very considerably improve so ciety in general. I am free to mention the food, for I personally know of its value." Grape-Nuts food can be used by babes in arms, or adults. It is ready cooked, can be served instantly, either cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape Nuts. The food is concentrated and very economical, for four heaping teaspoons are sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. Read the little book. "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs. "There's a Reason." would have been a thunderclap to manu facturers, and may have missed fire as a result. "Tho measure had been modified somewhat in order that it might be practicable. Tbe Government and the men in charge of the measure have fin ished a marvelous work to have such a vital law fit as Bmoothly into the groove of business as this has done. Professor Remington is taking a vacation on the Coast and has been the recipient of much attention from his old students living in Rowland. He will be the guest of honor at a dinner at the Portland Hotel tonight given by his friends and former pupils. At the Theaters What thm prm Anta 8ajr.
