I Republicans are centering their conversation and interest around the nominations for sheriff, clerk, commissioner and t r e a surer. These are about all that could lie talked about anywny because the balance of the ollices on the Republican tieKet are lacking candidates for the nomination. At the eleventh hour before the voting begins, it is generally con ceded that the struggle for supre macy for the sheriff's nomination on the Republican ticket lies between Frank Elkins of Madras and S. li. Hodges of this city. The former's main strength in bulwarked in his native precinct and surrounding country where there is the largest Republican vote of any district in the county. The Elkins The reputation of the ranch has been added to the past week by the delivery of eight Shire horses which Mr. Edwards purchased in England while there on a visit the first of the year. The latter stock is the finest breed that could be obtained in England where the horses now on the Crook county ranch have taken many first prizes. Sheriff Smith, who returned from Hay Creek the first of the week, says that the public gen erally does not realize how rapidly ! t lie Baldwin t ompany Is taking first place among the world's pro ducers of breeded- stock. Not alone is it gaining preeminence for its horses and and cattle, but the sheep from the ranch are being shipped into practically every sheep market in the world. Only a few days ago the company shipped a carload of thorough breds to South Africa, and for some time past sheep from the ranch have been shipped to vari- Sky Scrapers Collapse Like Putty, Crushing Out Hundreds of Lives in the Debris-Flames Sweep Through 50 Blocks of Buildings Portland, Ore., Wednesday, 12 in. Details are reaching this city by wire from San Francisco via New York City of the earthquake shocks which visited the Bay City between five and six o'clock this morningi leaving in their wake an enormous loss of life and property losses run ning into the millions. The catastrophe eclipses any previous disaster in the history of the United States, and stands on a par with some of the most terrible in the world's history. Several shocks' this morning caused the Call building and Palace hotel to collapse, the. latter burying hundreds of sleeping people beneath its walls as it fell to the ground under the terrific seismic disturbance. Several more shocks brought down dozens of other buildings and fires started in a score of places. Inside of a few minutes the entire district between Montgomery street and the water front, six blocks deep, was a furnace of flames. The upheavel of the earth has broken the water mains in the district now burning and the fire companies are helpless to block the rapid progress of the flames which are sweeping in every direction. Back from Montgomery street the authorities and fire companies have an army of men employed dynamiting business blocks and all the build ings whose destruction may stay the progress of the flames. Communication has been entirely broken with outside points. News is reaching Portland from New York City where it is being received by cable. and forwarded across the continent. 8 Keports estimate the death roll not less than 1000 and it is likely that this figure will be largely increased. Wednesday, ,'l p. m. Latest reports received from San Francisco give the death loss at this hour in excess of 2000. Every measure known to the ingenuity of man has failed to inter rupt the continual progress of the fiarnes which have leapt from one building to another. Fifty blocks in the business district are burning with a fierceness of the sun's heat. The bursting of the water main has denuded the water supply and there is none with which to combat allies. The property loss is running into the millions as the huge building und smaller ones melt beneath the terrific heat. following throughout OU(i usirana, a vo.muy the lower country, however, isiwnl('" naf always been looked hampered considerably, it is said !

Full details of the horrible catastrophe are impossible to get except at intervals as more dispatches are received in Portland, and it is im possible for the papers in the latter place to state definitely regarding the cleath loss. The first advices received by The Journal yesterday noon gave the casualties at 1000 with the probability of this number being increased. A later wire received at 8 o'clock confirmed the pre vious report, the death list having increased to 2000, and even this number is not likely to prove final. U I. .. .
