WASHINGTON, July 21. Eight
men of the coast artillery were killed
and two mortally wounded today by
the blowing out of a breech-lock of
a 12-Inch gun at Fortress Monroe.
The accident occurred during target
practice.
Most of the dead were standing
. directly behind the gun, and the
breechlock literally tore them to
. pieces. It is believed the Investiga
tion will be one of the most strict,
and also one of the most important.
In the history of the artillery corps.
-. The War -Department has just
stated that 10 men were killed in
the Monroe explosion. . General Car
los, In a formal report, said the acci
dent was probably caused, by prema
ture explosion. An investigation Is
progressing. The target practice was
the final event In a course of instruc
tion to thirty officers of the nrtilltry
corps attending school at the fort.
When the accident occurred five bat
teries were making ready to fire at
a target G000 yards' across Hampton
Roads. j

ALBANY, Or.. July 20. Three
men were burned to death last night
' In a forest Are along the North San

- mill, at the terminus of the Corvnllis
. & Eastern Railroad, four miles east
, of Detroit. The bodies were not re-
covered until 2:30 o'clock this after

' Brooks, of Crawfordsvllle, Or., und
. Frank McGoey, of Clearfield, Pa.
Acting against the advice of their
.foremen, the men went to death in
. an effort to get their tools. Fire had
started from the sparks of a donkey
. engine at Hoover at 3 o'clock yesrter
V day afternoon. The three men, with
- other workmen, had gone to the
camp. An hour later, after a vain
effort to save the camp outfit from
the flames, these three men started
to go to a point 400 yards up a steep
hillside to get their tools where they
had left them when the fire started,

the strip on the south hillside wesl
of the Are looked safe. The men had

wind suddenly changed, sweeping the
fire with wonderful rapidity directly
up the timber-covered hill where the
men were. In a few minutes the
(lames had swept the entire face of
the hill, turning the forest into a
furnace.
Rescue Pnrty Finds Bodies.
Falling burning trees made It im
possible to ascend the hill until
after noon today. A rescue party
then went up, hoping against belief
that the men had reached the sum
mit and had escaped the Are. All
three bodies were found, however,
and. burned badly, but not .beyond
recognition. Two bodies were found
together, one 100 yards further up
the hill. The men had evidently
tried to run ahead of the Are, but
had no chance, in a race up an almost
perpendicular hill, with a swift for

The Are destroyed the entire log
ging camp outfit, wrecked two don
key engines nud then swept Into the

The Are has now covered more
than two miles, burning eastward
along the south bank of the North
Santlnm River. It is now In valu
able green timber owned by the
Hoover Lumber Company and on the
Government forest reserve, with a
great quantity of valuable timber in
front of it. Seventy men are fighting
the flames, but the forest rangers in
charge of the Aght say there is no
hope to stop the fire now unless the
wind changes or rain comes.
Large Force Fighting Flames.
The men of Hoover's mill and
camp fought all night and were re
inforced this morning by men from
Hall's two logging camps and from
the camps of the Curtiss Lumber
Company, which owns a large tract
of endangered timber.
Another big forest fire is burning
in the Cascade Mountains Northwest
of Mount Jefferson. No one has
come out from that vicinity to give
the exact location or extent of the
damage, but judging from the smoke,
the Aro is a big one. It is believed
some Government rangers are there,
but the force on hand. If any, is too
small to cope with it. These Ares are
causing a thick mantle of smoke to
settle down In the Willamette Valley
In this part of the state tonight.

to the death of Ira Rawn, president
of the Monon Railroad, who was be
lieved to have been shot by a bur
glar In his home. The authorities
assert that Rawn suicided, and suy
there Is no evidence to support the
tale told by the family regarding a
burglar. Supposed blood stains
proved to be red paint. The fact
that Rawn is' involved in the alleged

sufficient motive for a suicide.
OFFICERS OF DEGREE OF
HONOR ARE ADVANCED.
PORTLAND, Or., July 21. The
second day of the biennial conven
tion of the grand lodge. Degree of
Honor, was spent largely in the elec
tion of officers for the next two
years, and In a discussion of an in
crease In the membership dues and
Initiation fees. The opinion of those
present was that It would be best
to allow the present rates to con
tinue for those already members, but
to raise them 25 per cent for all new
comers. But when it came time to
put the question to a vote, the women
decided to put off the change until
the next convenlon two years hence.
I ne new officers, who with one
exception were advanced one step

held last year, are as follows:

PORTLAND, July 21. Approxl-!
mately 1200 delegates to the Oregon
State Assembly, the first assembly
held Bince the passage of the direct
primary law In 1905, which did away
with the convention nominating sys
tem, convened here today to recom
mend state Republican candidates.
The assembly has been called after n
hard campaign waged by, opponents,
who cllege the first step of the as
sembly would be to put the knife to
Statement No. 1, and they alHO de
clare the assembly Illegal as the pri
mary law makes no provision for it.
Assemblyites declare it is the only
way to harmonize the party and keep
the organization in power. Port
land Is seething In politics.' The
fight for the gubernatorial recom
mendation Is seemingly between Dr.
A. C. Smith, of Portland, and Acting
Governor Bowermau.- of Condon.
Governor Benson will probably be
recommended for Secretary of State.
Assembly nominations are merely
recommendations, Its candidates to
be voted on at the primaries in Sep
tember. The general electlou Is to
be . held In-November.
Smith Out for (iovernor.
Dr. Andrew C. Smith, of Portland.
laHt night made the following an
nouncement of his candidacy for
Governor before the Republican State
Assembly Thursday. The statement
clears up entirely all question as to
Dr; Smith's attitude toward assembly.
'From the first I have been fav
orable to assembly. I have believed
that an advisory conference, if thor
oughly representative, Is a proper
means of furthering the Interests of
the Republican party, or of any
political party. But I have said that
If a body of men came, influenced or
previously pledged through the sel
fish activity of candidates, then It
would not be a representative body.
Under such conditions I would not
appear before It, either as a dele
gate or as a candidate.
'As I was in doubt along these
lines, I did not announce my candl
dacy earlier. But having concluded,
after observation and Inquiry, that
the assembly Is strictly representa
tive and that the importunities of
self-seeking candidates have not
been successful, and are not likely to
be successful, I now offer my name to
the assembly for Governor. It mny
be proper to add that I have not
solicited support of any delegate or
group of delegates, nor have I flooded
the --.ate with literature promotive
of my candidacy, nor written a single
letter to any delegate on the suujeci.
It has been my endeavor to pursue as
nearly as 1 could the course that I
have thought a candidate for Gov
ernor should pursue. If strenuous
self-assertlveness Is a requisite, then
It will be necessary that my candi
dacy be given no consideration.
"Briefly stated, I believe It to he
the function of the hHsembly to meet
wholly unpledged and to follow an
untrammeled judgment In the selec
tion of candidates. It ought to be
the duty of candidates participating
in the assembly to abide absolutely
by its decision."
Candidates for Governor.
W. C. Bristol, former United States
District Attorney, was elected tem
porary chairman of the assembly,
This afternoon a number of speeches
were made defending the assembly,
after which a contest began as to
the endorsee for the gubernatorial
nomination at the primaries. Dr.
Andrew C. Smith and Jay Bowerman
are the leading randldates, with C.
H. Moores, formerly of Halem, as the
dark horse.
It Is declared that Bowertnon will
lead on the first ballot, with 100
votes to spare, but It Is admitted, that
should he fall short of a majority
on the first baltot It will practically
eliminate him from the contest. The
Indications are that Mayor Joseph
Simon of thb city no longer figures
as a compromise candidate.

Governor Joseph V. Polk, who was
the guest of a large number of promi
nent Port landers nt a banquet last
night, and who has been the guest
of Oregon for the past week, is a
perfect embodiment of the polished.
learned lawyer, and In appearance
little resembles the type of lawyer
who would be expected to wage a
fierce war to eradicate corruption
from the government of a great city.
and later on defy and overthrow the
corruptlouists entrenched at the capi
tol of one of the greatest states In
the union.
When seen nt the Imperial Hotel
this morning, just before lenving for
Columbia Beach, where he delivers
an address this afternoon, Mr. Polk
was willing to talk on any subject but
that of the next Democratic nominee
for President. All questions lending
up to that subject he deftly side
stepped, but. It was plain to be seen
that the plaudits of his countrymen
and the well-nigh universal acclaim
that has been accorded his great
work have not fallen upon barren
soil.
Governor Folk was especially en
thusiastic over what, he spoke of as
"Oregon's wonderful progress In the
science of government," and he de
plored the efforts that are being made
to break down and nullify the pri
mary laws In force in tills state.
Prefers Direct Primaries.
"The primary system Is not per
fect, but Imperfect as it Is, It Is far
preferable to the old convention sys
tem, under which the classes are
usually supreme," said Governor
Folk. -
"The bosses still have some In
fluence under the primary plan, hut
not so much ns under the convention
idea, and just to that extent the pri
mary plan Is preferable to the con
vention syHtem."

strikers and the road Is tied up com

The board of trade Is seeking to

Is n protest agnlust the "tyrannical

The strike started In the Newcastle

of great Britain.
Later iiOOO additional employes of

consented to again be a candidate
for re-electlim as county judge. For
some time past Judge Wonacott has
been Importuned by citizens of all
parties to announce himself as a can
didate for re-election. Owing to
sickness in his family and other Im
portant considerations he hesitated
to do so. Within the past few days
this demand for his candidacy has
been so strong I hat he has finally
yielded and will stand for re-election.
His candidacy will naturally be based
on bis four years' record lu that im

voters, regardless of party, will un
doubtedly endorse that record, as the
county is now out of debt for the first
time in over 20 years, and is making
more substantial improvements than

It Is now certain that this year's
apple crop in Oregon will be larger
than that of a number of years past.
H, M. Williamson, secretary of the
state hoard of horticulture, believes
Hint the yield will be fully 50 per
cent greater than the large crop of
two years ago, but It Is not possible
to est I mute closely now what the to
tal output will be. The prospects of
nearly every section aro good. There
has been the usual summer drop
and In some orchards tho hot sun
of two weeks ago caused a little in
jury, but the damage from this cause
was not as great as feared.
In an interview In an Eastern trade
paper. W. N. While, the New York
apple man. takes a pessimistic view
of the winter apple market. Tie
estimates that Oregon will produce
over 2000 carloads, exclusive of
100.000 boxes or Hood River New
towns. His estimates for other
states rollow: Washington, 6000
