The Portland Press Club started oft yesterday with a full complement of offleeri and a big whoop. The per manent organisation was effected In the convention-room of the Imperial Hotel and the election followed. Fol lowing are the officers- President Sydney B. Vincent, of the, Associated Ppess. First vice-president Edward I Mr- rlartty. city editor of the Dally News Second vice-president Lute Pease, editor of the Pacific Monthly. Third vice-president O. C- Lelter. city editor of The Morning Oregonlan. secretary Mark Woodruff, of Tha Morning Oregonlan staff. Treasurer James S. Tyler, news edi tor of the Oregon Journal. Executive committee Will O. Mae Rae. editor of the Sketch: John J. Harrison, editor of the Portland Car man: P. E. Sullivan, editor of the Cath olic Sentinel. Historian Newman J. "Levinson. Sun day editor of The Oregonlan. Members Get Busy. The nominating committee presented four names for each office. Then the newspaper men in convention assem bled, began to tear down the work of the committee. Additional names were added to the list and candidates were switched from one office to another. The majority rule was adopted, estab lishing an elimination process and making It necessary to cast several ballots for each office. Slates and frame-ups that were ex pected to win crumpled under the deluge of "dark horses" run In at the last minute. No end of campaigning followed the nominating of Independent candidates and tha worst "Jobbing" was done on the floor of the convention. Candidates and votes were swapped like chattels. It was all In the game and the 40 present, some of them carry ing proxies, were prepared to have all the fun possible out of It. Candi dates who became frightened and tried to withdraw were sat upon by the con vention and . compelled to face the music. No livelier, better-natured tlaht was ever witnessed. What the majority said was the rule without question, everything went - with en- 1 thuslasm, and the club starts off with a. big membership that guarantees suc cess. Many Applications In. There are now more than J. appli cations of associate membership, and as many more have been waiting to learn on what basis they will be ad mitted before having their names pre sented. The constitution adopted yesterday makes ample provision for associate honorary members. They will be given all the privileges of the club but its control will be In the hands of the men actively ene-ae-ed In newspaper work. The charter will be held open for JO days to allow all the men actively en gaged In newspaper work to Join the club before a high initiation tee is es tabllshed. Associate members wil probably be voted on at the next meet ing.. which will be held In the convention-room of the Imperial Hotel next Sunday. The hotel management nas donated the use of the convention-room till the club s-ets on its feet and has quarters of its own.

Damage About $1000. ESTACADA, Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) Fire believed to be of Incendiary origin that Broke out early this morning did damage estimated at more than $1000 to the block owned by the Mount Hood Brewing Company.

' A billiard parlor and a soft drink es tablishment were in the lower floor of the building, but neither was damaged by fire, though water ruined the fix tures. The fire was subdued by the volunteer fire department. A large part of Es tacada would have been burned but for the prompt response by the firemen to the alarm, which was given by a Chi nese. who was rooming in the building. As it happened a dance was In progress and many persons were on the streets. with the result that volunteers were quickly on hand to help fight the names. There has been some objection to the place, which was run by I. M. Foster, of Portland, because, of suspicion that liquor was sold there.

The fire broke out Inside the build ing, destroying the upper floors. Ac cording to the flre-flghters. the fire could not be accidental. An officer of the Mount Hood Brew ing Company said last night that some Insurance was carried on the building, but he did not know how much.

(Special.) Railroad excitement was aroused to a high pitch here by the arrival late last nle-ht of Judge Lovett, president of the Harrlman system; W. W. cotton, sreneral counsel for the O. R. & N.; J. P. O'Brien, general manager; R. B. Miller, general freight agent; Carl Stradley and Mr. Buck, engineers. The party came from Vale in three large automobiles. They started early, ac companied by Burns men, for a trip around Harney Valley, and tonight a reception was held to talk over local railroad aspirations. The visit assumes greater impor tance than ordinarily, from the fact that Manager O'Brien and General Freight Agent Miller were here in June on a trip of investigation, so that Judge Lovett s coming is hailed as an indication of a favorable report, by O'Brien and Miller on the advantage of railroad construction in this part of the state. The party will start tomorrow along the line of the Harrlman survey toward Prlnevllle. Fire In the harvest fields this morn Inn destroyed standing grain valued at 1600.
