On last Friday, the Douse of Hoo Hoo
at the St. Louis Exposition was totally
destroyed by fire. This building . was
erected by the Lumbermen's Associa
tion and members of the Hoo Hoo soci
ety at a cost of $100,000. It was con
structed of rare woods, and " was built
and finished in the style of the lumber
man's art.
The fire threatened to destroy several
other buildings, among them the Oregon
State Building, but the firemen suc
ceeded in caving all of them.

SUIT TO DISSOLVE STANDARD OIL.
Suit has been instituted by George
Rice, of Marietta, O., for the dissolution
of the Standard Oil Company, a corpor
ation organized under the laws of New
Jersey. It is charged that the company
ia illegal, and exists in violation of the
anti-trUBt laws of tlie United States.
The result of the suit will be of no bene
fit to the general public. Even if the
contention of the plaintiff is upheld, the
decision will be bo worded as to effect
the real status of the Standard Oil Com
pany no more than did the famous
"Merger" decision affect the railroads
in their relation to the general public.
THE SITUATION IN COLORADO.
Geueral Sherman Bell, who is govern
ing Teller County under martial law,
has issued another statement for publi
cation, which in part is as follows :
"There are 10,000 lies being written
about me. I am acting under orders of
the Governor of the State of Colorado.
He stands for peace and quiet and good
government, and has instructed me to
see to it that the Western Federati jn- of
Miners shall not directly or indirectly
murder any more men, and thsy shall
no-.
"So far as placing Denver under mar
tial law is concerned, that rests solely
with the Governor. Provide I he should
see fit to do so. I am hie Adjutant-Genera),
commanding the military forces of
the state, and will sea to it that hun
dreds of baa men' are deported, and
atter nnrtial law has finally been called
off, if the citizens permit the cattle I
intend to deport to return that will be
their business. No man who wants to
work will be molested, but the person
who lives Bolely and only by his mouth,
provided Governor Peabody give me
the word, will have to emigrate. The
tine for temporizing talk in Colorado
has passed. What we ought to db now
is to act, and I gness we are going

C. Miller, Secretary and treasurer, of
the corporation. It is alleged that Dr.
Miller has failed to properly account for
$65,000 of corporation funds and that
Dr. Welch has assisted in falsifying the
records of the meetings in order to carry
out a conspiracy to defraud the share
holders. Dr. elch declares there it absolutely
no foundation for the charts mads, and
that the sutt ia instituted merely for the
purpose of harassing the defendants be
cause they would not grant the plaintiff
the salary be wished as a member 0! the
faculty of the Dental Dsllege.
Dr. Welch is well known in Oregon
City and throughout the county, and
few will believe him guilty of the charge.

One cannot say too much in favor of that

As Reported From Various
Parts of the County.
( WARNER GRANGE.
On Saturday Warner Grange cele
brated Floral Day. A number of child
ren were present, the little girls being
in white dresses. At the dinner hour
they marched through the hall into the
dining room; and were accorded the
honor of being seated before the older
folk. The afternoon session opened with
the exercises special to the occasion.
Ten tiny ladies in double, file, laden
with roees, entered the door, proceeded
to the platform sacree" to Pomona, Ceres
and Flora, and scattered on the floor at
their feet a mass of rose petals. Then
each two in succession, beginning with
the youngest, advanced over the roses
and recited something appropriate to
the celebration of the day of flowers.
Songs and recitations followed. The
finale of the program was nut's and can
dies. To Warner Grange the most impor
tant event of the day wai the solemn
destruction by fire of the mortgage and
note for $225, which was borrowed about
17 months ago to pay off the W. O. T.

Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent )
, Washington, D. 0., June 23, 1901.
the tires of the summer solstice are
blazing overhead, but the heat does not
prevent business being done at the head- .
quarters of the two parties here. Ram
bling off from each are ten or a dozen
rooms filled with coatleBs men and maid
ens decolletees, writing wrappers at full
jump to every county, aud almost every
town, in the United btatee. TheRepul
licans have jnat received a now confiijjr.
meiit of partisan literature from the
Government Printing Olliee, the Public
Printer having given a partisan twist to
the agreement in CongiesB to permit no
more "leave to print" matter not uttered
on the floor. Republicans all over the
citv are laughing very heartily at having
cunningly outwitted their adversaries.
A lively excitement prevails in the of
fices of Mr. Cortelyou around the dek
of the Chief Inspector of Steamboats.
He sees just as few newspaper men as
possible, Biid Is a rival of Judge Parker
in taciturnity. The steamboat horror in .
tbe East river makes it interesting to A:
know that the law prescribes a oeualtv .
of $103 for ea-h passenger reoeived ou
board any steam vessel not havinu offi
cial certificates of approval from Cortel
you s department, and "Every Inspect' ''
who willful: tBif.itiu' fal8el'",i jtichi.i ' '
any steam vessel, as M tat hull, accom
modations, Doners, engines, machinery
or their appurtenances, or any of her
equipments, or any matter or thing con
tained in any certificate signed and
worn to by him, shall be punished by
fine of not more than $500, or imprison
ment ol not more than six months, or
both."
Bu: the most astounding provision of
the law iB that which pays inspectors.
not according to the eiliclency of their
Ber vies, but according to the number of
steamboats which they can inspect in a
year 1 In Districts inspecting one hun
dred and fifty steamers the Inspector's
salary is fi.ouu. in districts inspecting
five hundred steamers, the inspector's
salary is $2,500. Besides this, they are
paid traveling expanses. Of course, the
tendency of such a provision is to ex
treme haste, carelessness and reckless
ness. It offerB every inspector a bribe .
to neglect his duty. It pays him just ab
much for inspecting a two-ton pleasure
yacht as for the F&ll River steamer. Is
it any wonder that under such a wicked
arrangement inspectors hurry from dock
to dock and overtook tbe great floating
palaces? It is obvious that the 2,500
lie preservers on the General blocum
had not been properly looked at at all.
liow could they be, under .pievailing
conditions? liow could the fire hose be
tested nnder a law which paid the in-
pector to neglect it? Is not all this
horrible to think of? The very least
that Secretary Cortelyou can do is to see
that serious punishment is inflicted on
delinquent inspectors. ll.Cu i,j ou.nt
to see to it that Congress repeals the
abominable law which hiresan inspector
to set death traps for the unwary public.
Inspector Lundberg, lor instance, ought
be to be out on bail in view of the mas
sacre of innocents in bis district?

contract debts in this city which they

to be wholesome. It might be adopted
