Pulp Mill Closes Down.
Because of the extreme low stage of
the Willamette river, tbe management
of the Willamette Pulp at Paper mills,
at Orefon City, has found It necessary
to close down station A. which is lo
cated on the en st side of the river.
It Is In this mill that the pulp Is pre
pared by which the paper Is manufac
tured In the mills on the west side.
The closing down of station A, how
over, will not Interfere In any way with
the operation of the main mills of the
corporation since there Is a sufficient
supply of pulp on hand to keep the
mills going for several weeks.

Excursion on Way to Oiympla DttokaMl
Wltb Fatal Results.
Cbehalis, Wash., Aug. 23. The
special train carrying tbe Portland Elk
to Olympia was ditched two mile west
of this place at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning, while running at a high rate
of speed. Two men, Charles Farle
man, a cigar dealer of Portland, and
Frank Galea, a tiamp, who wa riding
on tbe tender, were instantly killed.
Between 80 and 40 other, were in.
jnied, ot whom two aod possibly three
are so serioasly hurt that recovery la
doubtful.
Tbe special of seven cars, palled by
eng'ne 847, left Portland at 7:36 A. 11.
According to the testimony of Lb paa.
sengers, which i corroborated in
measure by the statement of the eogi.
neer, tbe engine wa not working very
tisfactorily, and when Castle Bock
waa reached tbe fire were drawn and
an effort made to repair it so that It
would steam better.
It climbed tbe hill beyond Castle
Rock without difficulty, and nicked an
some of tbe time that wa lost before
Napavine wa reached. From that
point It rolled down the grade at
pretty good gait, and wa going at
about a 40-mile clip along tbe bank ef
toe ftewaoknm river, about 1 niles
west ot iiiebalia, wben aoddenly a
oarp explosion waa beard and an ta
unt later tbe big locomotive shot ever
the embankment, toppled to the left
and buried its left cylinder and driv
ers in the soft earth. Simultaneooalv
with tbe explosion, the tender parted
from the euigne, jumped from it track
and landed at tbe foot of tbe embank
ment. Tbe first car, a light combina
tion passenger and baggase car, broke
looe from the tender, Damped for an
instant on the tie, and then, with ter
rific force, plunged down tbe embank
ment.
An immense cedar stump waa atand-
ing near the font of the embankment.
and as the car flew part it, the entire
leit side of tbe coach was torn ont. and
tbe unfortunate passenger bruited, eat
and maimed by flying wreckage or
glats, iron and wool, bran he of tree,
slapping them in tbe face. Tbe ne
mentam of tbe first car wa so treat
that it continued on past the big stamp
turned farther over, and finally came to
a stop with tbe entire left aid and
most of tbe seats swept clean, th roof
caved in and tbe floor buliina an.
Tbe second car followed it and brought
up a'ongside of tbe stnmp The lead
ers checked tbe momentum of tbe third
car, fourth and fifth ear, which left '
the embankment : and tarned pe.it ly
over, but escaped tbe terrible punish
ment inflicted on the first ear. The
sixth from tbe engine lett tbe rail bat
remained on tbe ties, tbe occupants es
caping with little more than a bad
scare. The seventh and last ear waa
tbe only one which remained on the
rails.
WON BY RBLIANCB.
5 ham rock III Badly Beaten In Fa-sf of
International Race.
Near York, Aug. 23. In a splendid
12 to 15-knot breeze, over a windward
and leeward course of 30-milea, tbe
gallant sloop Reliance yesterday beat
Shamrock III in commanding style, by
exactly nine minutes actual time, or
seven minute and three seconds, after
deducting the one minute and 67 sec
onds, which the defender concedes to
Sir Thomas Lipton'a third challenger
on account of Reliance' larger exiling
pian aa a present measured. ,
It wa a royal water fight for tbe
ancient trepby, which carries with it
the yachting supremacy ol tbe world.
and by a strange coincidence the first
victory in tbe cup series of 1903 oe-
currej on the 62d anniversary of tbe
day on which the old schooner Ameri
ca captured it in ber famous race
around the Isle of Wight. The Reli
ance beat the British boat three min
utes 21 seconds in tbe thresh to wind
ward, and five minute 36 second in
the run down the wind.
Situation ia Critical.
Sofia, Bnlagria, Aug. 26. The tec.
era) outlook in Macedonia show no
signs ot improvement, and tbe devlcp.
menta in the next few day are awaited
here with the gravest anxiety. The
outbreak at Adrianople ia growing and
disturbances are also prevalent: along
tbe coart and in the vi. inity of tbe Be
garian frontier. A di -patch from Dub
nitia asserts that a division of the Rou
manian army, with a brigade of cavalry
from Bucharest, has oeeq ..ordered to
march toward the Bu garian - frontier,
ostensibly for maneuvers.
