SUNDAY OREGOXUX, PORTLAND. JANUARY 2, 1910. 8 THE . ., , , . . - . """"'- ' - " ' ' " ' 1 " i r : ; NEW YEAR'S ISSUE IN GREAT DEMAND Big Edition of The Oregonian Annual Quickly Sold and An other Will Be Printed. NEWSBOYS REAP HARVEST .-.' vorable erdict of Public Is r ' - Shown by Fact That 90,000 . Copies Fall to .Satisfy First-lay Orders. "I.i i. hotter da.ii de San Francisco earthquake." declared a newsboy yes terday afternoon as he quickly niade change for a customer who had bought Imlf dozen copies of the New Year's Oregonian. This particular newsboy bad charge, of a sidewalk shop impro vised of dry trooris boxes on a promi nent corner. The little street merchant and four assistants had been kept busy all day, selling The Oregonian Annual, and Ihetr personal prosperity was much til-eater than at any time they could recall. In fact, reference to the San Francisco disaster, when Portland peo ple e.igcrly snapped up every paper offered, was the only occasion that pre sented an adequate comparison, from the newsboy's point of view, with the exception of former issues of the An nual. The heavy business done by a small army of newsboys was only one of numerous signs that showed with what npproval the New Year's Oregonian was received by the public. From early mornina until late last night the de mand kept up almost unabated. Copies ready "for mailing, with their green wrappers, were very conspicuous on I he streets, where huge piles on scores of counters had to be frequently re plenished. A remarkably large propor tion of people in the business district were carrying the Annual, while the postman might easily have imagined that he was again in the midst of the Christmas rush. Ismu? Moon Sold Out. Ninety thousand copies of The Ore gonian were printed yesterday morn lr the largest single issue ever run off the presses. Karly in the after noon the sales, including large ad vance orders for Monday delivery, ex ceeded the number printed, and ar rangements were made to put the plates back on 'the presses this morn ing, when 1CV00 additional copies will be printed. The papers distributed ves terday weighed a ltoge th.'r . 45 tons." That the Annual will do much to advertise Oregon was indicated by the large numbers of papers sent Kast. Outside of the regular circulation, the greater portion of the issue was for warded by people in Portland and throughout the stale to their friends In other parts of the country. At the mailing division of the Portland Post office. Fifth and tllisau streets, the force of employes was rushed all day handling the Annual. It was explained there that as yesterday was a holiday and the big business houses closed, the Kastern mall would have been light, had it not been for the New Year's edition. Every collector who came in was loaded down with Oregonians. and -sacks, containing nothing but the New Year's papers, wore piled high on every side. The handling of the Annual was also important factor nt the central Post office. More papers were mailed there tlinn at any other sinRle place and wagons were kept busy hauling thein to the mailing department. Although the greatest rush was during the morning, the mail clerks were anything but idle in 1ho afternoon, as is indicated by the fact that between 13 and 1:30 P. M. !' sacks of Oregonians were made up in the central office and dispatched to the mailing divi sion. Newsboys Wait All Xijrlit. Although The. OrcRonian docs not go on the street until about S A. M.. news boys began arriving at The Oregonian office at 11 o'clock Friday night and waited patiently until morning In order lo get their papers at the earliest pos sible moment. Public opinion pronounced the Annual of utmost value to the entire State of Oregon. The Central Oregon section per haps attracted greatest attention, be cause it was the first adequate descrip tion of that great district ever published. The articles on Oregon industries were nlso the cause of much comment, show ing remarkable development in every line luring the past year. It was also recog Tiised that the edition would mean much to Portland, as every phase of growth In the state's metropolis was clcarlv re flected. Critics were loud in their praise of the pictorial features of the Annual. It is certain that the heavy demand for the New Year's edition will again be in evidence today, and from present in dications it will take the entire additional issue of lO.ooo copies to till all orders. AWNING FIRE SOON OUT llremen Prevent maze From Spreading to Bulldins. Twice yesterday the fire department was called out for fires of minor im portance. At 3 o'clock yesterday after noon some one In the lodging-house at 101 Third street. North, dropped- a lighted cigar end out of the window upon an awning In front of the store conducted by "Hollar" Bill St. Clair. The awning was ablate in a few sec onds and a still alarm was turned in. The awning was damaged, but the fire men put out the hla-.e before it had spread to the building. A few minutes after this an alarm was sent In from the box at Seven teenth and Savier streets, where sparks had been seen Issuing from the chim ney of the dwelling-house StifiU Sev enteenth street. North. The firemen responded, but were not called upon to ight anv flames. ARRESTS 12,829 IN YEAR t hiefs neport Will Show That De partment Has) Been Busy.

Situation on Ohio Is' Threatening and Tremendous Lose May Be Caused to Shipping. . ST. LOUIS. Jan. 1. Ice gorges which had formed in the Mississippi above here' broke today, and, driven by the tremendous pressure of the water, huge floes o irregular cakes swept down along the levees, causing damage esti-' mated to be at least $30,000. Craft moored along the river bank were swept away like tinder, the stout ca bles that held them being snapped like string. Everything movable along the waterfront was carried off and ground to fragments in the ice. Reports from Louisville and other ' Ohio River points state that if the gorges in that stream go out quickly the resultant damage will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Coal b.-.rges and every type of craft used, on th" river are in jeopardy, as the warm weather is rapidly melting the solid fronts of the gorges, which threaten to go out at a moment's notice. Practically all boats have been fas tened by i. leans of cables or otherwise anchored, but it ts predicted by ex perienced river men that if the ice gorges break quickly the trees will be uprooted or tbe cables snapped. Along both shores of the river guards have been stationed to warn workmen and others away from the edge of the ice.
