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 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.

by the candidacy of W. W. Brown i ,,f hl' wm(;" ' Induces,
of Cross Keys who. according ,() i Three or four varieties of thorough-
Dispatches received Wednesday noon and afternoon by The Journal
from Portland of the terrible disaster which has visited San Francisco,
have caused no little uneasiness among the residents of this city and
vicinity, many of whom have brothers, sisters, children, relatives or
friends living in the (.loomed city.
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.
