10 THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 18, 1003. $9000 GOES UP IN SMOKE GOOD "WORK OF FIREMEN' AT 3IOR RIS OX-STREET BLAZE. Groceries and Candle at Scaly Ma on & Co.' and Shetland's Stores Suiter Loss. A fire In -which there was more smoke than flame broke ou in the basement o Sealy, Mason &"Co.'s store. 275 Morrison street, and spread into the adjoining basement of Swetland's confectionery etore, shortly after 11 o'clock last night, and the damage Is estimated at about 59000, covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is not known. An alarm was rung for the Fire Depart ment at 11:3C o'clock, and Chief Camp bell, Assistant Chief Laudenklos, District Engineer Young, and the crews of engine companies Nos. 1, 3 and 4, trucks 1 and 2, and chemical engines 1 and 2 went to work. It was apparent from the quan tity of smoke that rolled out of the burn ing basement that the Are had been burn ing some little time before it was dis covered from the street. Doors on Morri son and Fourth streets were broken open, and the smoke rolled out In such density that the work of the llremen was rendered difficult. It was hardly possible to breathe, but headed by Chief Campbell lines of hose were rushed through, and It was found that the seat of the Arc was among coffee and other goods located at the southeast corner of the basement. A lot of straw and boxes stored near cof fee were emitting smoke and flame, and It looked at this time as If the entire three-story building might suffer. Spe cial Officer Nash sent a messenger boy, who notified one of the firm of Sealy, IMason & Co., and he arrived soon after ward. Meanwhile Swetland's restaurant was crowded with people who were at eupper after a visit to the different the aters, and when they smelled smoke they left their suppers behind them, but there was no confusion. After 20 minutes' hard work the seat of the fire was drowned with water, and the flames were prevented from spreading. Most of the high-grade stock of groceries In the basement valued at $0000 Is de etroyed by smoke and water, and the Btock upstairs has also suffered. The basement at Swetland's was also filled with smoke, and the stock of confectionery and Ice cream is somewhat damaged. Sealy, Mason &. Co.'s stock Is covered by $14,000 In surance, and they did not know their loss when asked for an estimate. At Swet land's store it was learned that they were Insured, but it was not possible to learn the amount. The upstairs rooms are oc cupied as offices and residence quarters, but it was not necessary to move any of the furniture. A dense crowd gathered to watch the firemen at work, and the po lice kept good order. It was a difficult lire to fight, and the firemen deserved credit for excellent work. Many of thorn had Inflamed eyes when the fire was over. The building is owned by S. Blumauer. MONUMENT CONTRACT LET Otto Schnmnn Ik Lowest Bidder for Erection of Memorial.

CQrXTRY PRI3VCIPALS ORGANIZE. 0 Movement for Betterment of the Suburban Schools of the County. In response to an Invitation, principals of all the suburban public schools, except two, met In the office of County Superin tendent F. R. Robinson and formed, a principals' association, whose object is to secure co-operation in the betterment of the county schools. After Mr. Robinson had called the meeting to order R. "W. Rowland, of Montavilla District was elected president, and "W. A. Daw, of the South Mount Tabor School, was elected secretary. A committee on plans of work, composed of John Teuscher, E. M. Dance and J. O. Hall, was appointed 'who will report at the next meeting. It was pro vided that regular meetings of the as sociation shall be held once a month wi.h the County School Superintendent. This was the first gathering of the sort held, and Superintendent Robinson re gards the movement with satisfaction. He says: "There was great enthusiasm and Interest displayed by the principals at this first meeting. Great good is sure to come out of this action. One result will tys better methods In the suburban schools. "We shall secure uniform work. Each principal Is working along certain lines, and each school, like the Mount Ta bor, thq Montavilla or Russellville, is a unit in Itself. To bring all these units together for more uniform action is sure to produce satisfactory results in prac tical school work. At the meeting some matters were discussed, but the commit tee which has been appointed will lay out a plan of work for the principals at tho next meeting." IS SISTER OF MERCY. Kiss.

The steam schooner Sequoia, which was badly damaged at Gray's Harbor, Is be ing repaired at Supple's boatyard. She Is partly out on the ways, and while re pairs are now going ahead, the vessel will be pulled farther up after some more capstans have been prepared. Mr. Sup ple found he had not sufficient power to get the ship farther up the ways, but Is having two powerful capstans built, which will give him six, and a third more power than he had. With these he expects no difficulty In getting this vessel where she is wanted, although she weighs 700 tons. Her stern post and keel were wrecked at Gray's Harbor, and she sprung a leak, but, being full of lumber, did not sink. Her bronze screw, which is nine feefc in diameter, was so badly bent that it was necessary to send it to San Francisco for repairs. It has arrived all ready to be placed In position. Tho Hentrletta, a steel ship which was sunk by her anchor ripping a hole through her plates, will be taken out on the ways for repairs as soon as the Sequoia Is put of the way. She Is now lying at the wharf at the foot of East Yamhill street. East Side Notes. The elevated roadway on East Oak street Is being removed preparatory to re building It between East Water and East Second streets. This Is one of the oldest roadways on the East Side, and once was the leading street to the ferry. The street has been closed for a long time on account of the dangerous condition of the roadway. The City & Suburban Railway Company has completed its double track along Williams avenue between Cherry and Stanton streets, and is now replanklng between the tracks. Double tracks have now been laid for the entire length of Williams to Kllllngsworth avenues. ClackamaB County Pomona, represent ing 10 Granges, met with Harding Grange.

Cup Presentation to Past Illustrious Potentate Irving W. Pratt. The Nobles of Al Kader Temple, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, an order composed of high-grade Masons only, held, last evening, one of the most successful sessions In Its history. In this semi-annual pilgrimage across the hot sands of the desert, the sons of the prophet, at the call of the Muezzin, were joined by a large number of novices, who, after being duly and truly prepared, were initiated Into the strange mysteries of the Oriental degrees, as practiced by the Arab tribe residing In - tho Portland oasis. It was impossible to obtain a full list of all the newly Initiated candidates Into the ehrine the hour being late and the Shriners, who were too busy to care much for the glories of this world or any other, like Omar Kkayyam, would not allow anyone to perplex them with things human or divine. Among the CO candi dates who successfully crossed the burn ing sands were: Congressman-elect Will iamson, Major William F. Tucker, TJ. S. A, Major Charles M. Allen, Dr. A. J. Glesy, Dr. James O. C. "Wiley, State Sen ator W. W. Stclwer, District-Attorney John H. Hall, Dr. A EL Mackey, Captain Orrin Kellogg, E. W. Spencer and 50 others. It was promptly at 8 o'clock when the Illustrious potentate, George H- Hill, called the shrine to order. Al Kader Temple, where the devotees of the prophet practice their mysteries, presented a scene" .of Oriental magnificence. It required two days of hard work by the beet of deco rators, who transformed the main lodge room of the Masonic Temple Into a verit able palace of splendor the elegant drap eries, the colored lights, the glittering costumes, the fragrance of the choicest of perfumes from Cathay, the flags of all nations, the bubbling fountains of Zem Zem, the most exquisite musical selections of the Orient, and many other features of last evening's event will certainly ever be remembered" by the brethren of Al Kader. One of the most pleasing features of the evening'a celebration was the presenta tion to the past illustrious potentate, Irving W. Pratt, of a beautiful solid silver loving cup in recognition of 15 years service to Al Kader as potentate. In a neat speech of good humor mingled with expressions of real affection, George H. Hill, the new potentate, made the pre sentation. The old Arab chief was deeply mpved over this unexpected event, and as ho took the cup, which stands IS inches high and holds three full quarts. It almost seemed as If he was going to give Al Kader the celebrated stanza from Omar: Come, fill"lhe cup, and In the Are of Spring Tour "Wlnter-sarment of repentance lllng; Theblrd of Time has but a little To flutter and the bird Is on the wing. After the recipient had partaken of the contents of thp cup It was then passed around to the officers and members, and after many replenishments, the inltatlon of the newly elected brethren took place. This waa followed by a sumptuous ban quet in charge of Nobles Henry Roe and W. A. Cleland, in Commandery Hall, which, like the Shrine Hall, had been transformed Into a bower of beauty. An ochestra concealed behind an Egyptian pyramid and lemon trees discoursed some sweet music. There were, in addition to the large membership of Al Kader, also quite a large number of visitors. Among these were General George M. Randall. U. S. A: Captain W. C. TVren. Seventeenth United States Infantry, Fort Spokane; Mr. Pf S. Hoyt, of Cheyenne, Wyo.; Major Dr. R, G. Ebert, Vancouver barracks. All of these brothers came expressly for this ceremonial session wherein the degrees of the Mystic Shrine were, among othars, to bo conferred upon their collf!acii. Major William F. Tucker. There was Chief Justice F. A Moore. Dr. f?eor&i Wall, Grand Master W. F. Butcher, a number of grand officers and several of the past grand masters of tho Maspns of this Jurisdiction. In all it was certainly a most successful event.

STOI&Y PUBLISHING CO., 480 CHAPLIN S.,T WATERVILLE, MAINE TO AMEND ARID LAND LAW IRRIGATION ASSOCIATION WILL IN TRODUCE BILLS. Measures Are- Not Radical but Are Aimed to Remedy Minor Defects. SALEM, Or., Jan. 17. (Specials-Chairman Sam White, of the legislation com mittee of the State Irrigation Association, and also a member of the executive com mittee of the Baker County Irrigation Committee, is in Salem preparing bills which will be presented to the Legislature with the recommendation that they be passed. These measures will contain noth ing of a very radical nature, but will seek to remedy such minor defects In existing laws as have been discovered as a result of the very exhaustive discus sion which 4has taken place In the last three months. One measure will propose amendments to the act accepting the provisions of the Carey law, and the other will present changes to be made In the law regarding water rights In general. Three amendments to the arid land act will be proposed, Jiaving for their pur pose the restriction of the privileges of reclamation companies, the prevention of "landgrabblng." and the encouragement of the settlement and cultivation of all the lands covered by reclamation con tracts. The first amendment will apply to section 32SS of the Bellinger and Cot ton code, which gives to reclamation com panies the exclusive right to the posses sion and use of the lands covered by tho contracts from the date of the contracts until the Hens are paid off. Mr. White thinks that the companies should not have the possession and use of the land all this time, to the exclusion of all other persons, at the same time that they are holding Hens which dravy 6 per oent In terost.and he proposes to have this privi lege limited to such occupancy as is nec essary for the construction of irrigation ditches and canals. Under the present statute the companies can secure the exclusive right to the use of large tracts of land, though they may not be attempt ing to irrigate more than a small area. Section 3232 of the code provides that any settler desiring to purchase any un sold quarter section of desert land on which there is a Hen for the cost of re clamation shall pay to the holder thereof such proportion of the amount of the en tire Hen as the true value of the tract bears to the true value of the whole tract, which amount is determined by the State Land Board. Upon the payment of the Hen to the holder thereof, the purchaser is entitled to a deed from tho State Land Board. Mr. White thinks this sec tion gives the reclamation companies an opportunity to get title to the best of the lands by getting "dummies" to make tho purchases and then transfer the title to them or some person or concern con trolled by them. In order to prevent this, Mr. White thinks that on making the purchase a scttlpr should be given a re ceipt, the same as the Government gives to homesteaders, and then when they have lived on the land for five years and" put not less than one-fourth to one-third under cultivation, they shall receive a deed. Proof of residence and cultivation will be required. Mr. White will also propose an amend ment to the arid land law which will permit settlers on arid land to make their payments In installments, instead of in one sum. This he thjnks will make It possible for a larger number of bona fide settlers and homeseekers to secure land and assist in reclaiming it. He would make the purchase price payable In 10 annual installments, reserving to the Hen holders tho right to foreclose at any time when the purchaser had become two years delinquent ip his payments." Mr. White also thinks the state should employ a hydraulic engineer on an an nual salary, whose duty It would be to represent the state In seeing that the law governing the reclamation of land is com plied with, and do any work at the state institutions that requires the services of an engineer. AH these views he will in corporate In a bill which he will place In the hands, of a member of the Legis lature as soon as convenient. The subject of water rights in general has also been given considerable study and Investigation by Mr. White, and he will present his conclusions In the form of a bill. He does not believe that any changes should be made in the rights of riparian owners or prior appropriators, but that laws should be enacted defining the manner in which these rights shall be exercised, to the end that the waters of tho arid, region of this state shall be made to Irrigate as large an area of lapd as possible. He believes a law should ho passed declaring that the own ership of the water of all streams In this state shall vest in the state, and that such water shall be subject to ap propriation only for beneficial uses. He would oppose any measure which under-; took to affect any vested rights, but believes the statutes should declare that whenever an approprlator ceases to use water for a beneficial use he shall be held to have abandoned his appropriation, whereupon the right to the use of the water ceases, and other appropriations may be made thereof. This Is prac tically a declaration of the doctrine of prior appropriation. In Mr. White's opinion, the statutes of the state should establish a unit of measure for flowing water, which unit should be one cubic foot of water per second of tlmet At present there are many different ways of measuring water In ditches, but no one way that has the especial sanction of law. A standard having been established, every appro prlator of water should be required to place in his ditch at the point of diversion a trapezoidal wler or measuring box, which is the cheapest measuring appa ratus. Each approprjator should be re quired to file In the office of the County Recorder a statement of the number of acres of land he Is irrigating and has in actual cultivation, and then he should 1 DC limited) to the use of so much water f as Is necessary for the Irrigation of that ! area, not exceeding one miner's Inch per acre, or Its equivalent In cubic feet per second. A miner's Inch has been found to be enough water for any land, and more than Is necessary for most tracts. With such a provision as Mr. White pro poses, If any man used more water than was necessary, and therefore more than he could put to a beneficial use, others who desired to use water could go Into tho courts and begin criminal proceed ings against such approprlator for using moro than he really needed. With water as free as it Is at present, and with no restrictions that regulate Its use. the appropriators are everywhere uslpg more than Is advantageous or bene- uciai, ana even so mucn as to prove i InlnHnna in the xrnna onrf Via enlt XC wwte believes that in Baker County the water now used would irrigate double $200.00 We will give $200 In Spot Carti to the t-crsons who send a corrwit answr to the above rebus, which rep resents a well-knQwn eaying. There Is only ' one cor rect answer. Remember, we do not want you to send us a slnEla cent of your mono. And remember also that we mean it, and after you have received the cash from us you will know we are tclllnc the truth. An swer this opportunity and become convinced that we. make every promUe good to the letter. The money will nurelv be nald. Try anil win. -Yon mnv Via th the area of land if it were appropriated under tho restrictions mentioned. He has no doubt that the conditions in Baker County are not different from those in other counties. These simple provisions regarding the use of water will be sufficient, Mr. White believes, to secure to the people of the state the greatest degree of use of water for irrigation purposes. Some states have a multiplicity of boards and superintend ents and deputies, all drawing salaries, to enforce a more complex law regard ing the use of water. After studying the subject In all its bearings, and in forming himself upon the plans adopted In other states, he believes that Oregon will do best not to follow the methods adopted by any, but to pass these few simple laws that will regulate the exer cise of richts rather than change them. If experience shall prove that Oregon needs a more complex ijystem of Irrigation and water-right law. then it will be time to enact such measures as are needed. With these laws In force, and Jurisdiction conferred concurrently upon Justice and Circuit Courts to punish violations, those Interested will have ample remedy for any violation of their rights. Thcoe suggestions Mr. White has sub mitted to Mr. A E. Chandler, a Govern ment expert who attended the recent Ir rigation convention in Oregon. Mr. Chand ler has given them his hearty approval and expresses the opinion that they will be found to embody all that Is neceasary In the way of water-right legislation In Oregon. While Mr. White Is of the opinion that the legislature should enact laws In ac cordance with the plans outlined, he Is desirous of receiving suggestions from any person who is Interested, and If anyone has better plans to offer he will Incor porate them in the bill which he Is about to prepare. EUCEXB FAVORS FAIR. Representative Sheller Secures Opinion of His Constituents. EUGENE, Or.. Jan. 17. (Speclal.)-Rep-resentatlve J. M. Shelley was at home to day and employed the time conferring with his constituents on matters concern ing proposed legislative action. He has been especially Interested in ascertaining the temperament of the people here on the question of mnklng an appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and last night called together a number In consul tation on this question. The general ex pression of those present was favorable to a liberal appropriation for the Exposi tion. The people do not appear to be en thusiastic in the matter, but It is Mr. Shelley's belief from what he has been able to talk with representative citizens that the people' here hopn for the success of tho Exposition and believe that the proposed appropriation of $500,000 Is not unreasonable. Town Recorder Disappears. PILOT ROCK. Or..,Jan. 17. City Record er Rynlerson. of Pilot Rock, Is missing. There is no likelihood of foul play, but the supposition is that Rynlerson left of his own accord. Why he should take such a step la hard to fathom, unless he became financially embarrassed and was unable to pay his debts when called upon. Mr. Ry nlerson has lived in Pilot Rock for several years. He came here from the Willamette Valley, and has been an upright and straight citizen and was well liked. Bine River Miners Incorporate. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 17, (Special.)
