NO LIVES LOST; NO ONE HURT Blaze Started in "En Bine Room About 1 o'CIocIc ThU Morning; Close Call for Main StrHctare Lous $25,000. SAU2M, Or., Dec 18. The Industrial building ofthe State Reform School, about three miles from here, was destroyed by fire between 1 and 2 o'clockHhls morning. No one was Injured- The loss will reach 523.000; Insurance, $S0G0. For a time It seemed as If all the Reform School build ings would be destroyed. Tho fire was discovered In the engine room.' Superintendent Bickers says he has no Idea how the fire started. The engine-room U on the first floor of he In dustrial building, and In the same room Is the boiler for the steam-heating plant and the dynamo for the electric light plant. A night watchman Is employed at 'the building, and the fire was discovered -by him before. It had made great headway. "Without the aid of the fire-fighting appa ratus, which was cut off by the fire, no attempt could be made to fight the fire In the industrial building, and it was only by heroic work that the lire was pre vented from spreading to the main build ing. The Salem fire department responded promptly to the call for aid. but the fire was under control before its arrival. Tele phone communication with the school was not interrupted, but, owing to the excite ment, few details are obtainable. There are about 120 boys confined in the institu tion, and about 12 employes live at the main building. The work of the Institu tion will be seriously hampered until the damage can be repaired. Up to 3 o'clock this morning, no attempt had been made by the Reform School boys to take advantage of the confusion and make their escape. When it is stated that the industrial building was only 30 feet from the main building, the heroism of the officers and pupils fighting the fire can be understood. more: policemen at salem. City Council Want to Stop Hold-Upt Rockptlc for Tramp. SALEM, Dec. 17. Tho City Council this evening authorized the appointment of several extra policemen, in view of re cent hold-ups. A resolution was passed levying, a VA mlll road tax, to be collected in cash by the city, instead of permitting property owners to work out their taxes. The City Council provided a rockplle for tramps. The city charter requires that the City Council shall make an annual estimate cf receipts and expenditures for the en duing year. In accordance with this char ter provision, the Council tonight Intro duced an ordinance making the following estimates of the fixed charges of the city: Salary account 57,120 00 "Water account 1.419 GO Lighting account 2,500 00 Interest on bonds 11,020 89 Total .522,000 49 The ordinance also declares It necessary to raise 518,500 by general taxation, and estimates all the revenues as follows: General taxes 518.500 00 Saloon licenses 5,600 00 Fines and fees 500 03 Rent of city property 900 00 Show licenses 300 00 Vehicle licenses 100 00 Miscellaneous licenses 2,000 00 Street assessments 300 00 Miscellaneous receipts 800 00 Total receipts 529,000 00 The difference between the 529,000 of re ceipts and the 522,000 49 of fixed charges, or 56935 51, will be the amount of miscel laneous expenses. The receipts from general taxes last year were only 515,250. The increase to 518,500 Is due to an increase of the as sessed valuation of property this year as compared with 1900. ELECTION AT ASHLAND.

The preliminary ex amination of Thurston Grimm, who shot and killed John Roppel near Aurora last Friday, was set for hearing at the City Hall this afternoon. At 1 o'clock a large crowd had gathered to hear the testi mony, but as the witnesses for the prose cution failed to appear, the case was con tinued until tomorrow. District Attorney Hart was unable to explain the absence of the members of the Roppel family, who are the principal witnesses for the state. They were served with subpoenas, but they must have foiled to understand the nature of the subpoenas or mistook the date or place of the hearing. The case Is attracting wide public at tention, owing to the prominence of the defendant. Grimm is not only well known, but comes of a pioneer family, and Is re lated to some of the best-known families of the county. The seriousness of the charge adds to the interest taken in the outcome. From what already appears. It Is evi dent that the testimony will be directly contradictory. Grimm has already stated that Roppel began the encounter by shooting at him with a rifle, whereupon Grimm fired In self-defense. The mem bers of Roppel's family testified just as positively at the Coroner's inquest that Roppel had no rifle at the time of the shooting. If the testimony should vary In the same manner at the trial of Grimm It is evident that one of the two stories must bo discredited. If the self-defense story should prevail, Grimm would, of course, go free, but If it should be shown that Roppel did not begin the attack, Grimm would stand In a very bad light. MELDRUM SENTENCED. Eastern Oregon Homcthlef Gets Three Year In Penitentiary. BAKER CITY, Dec 17. Alexander Mel drum, who was convicted last week on tnc charge of horsestealing, was sentenced by Judge Eakln, in the Circuit Court, this morning, to serve three years in the peni tentiary.

A motion for a new trial was overrulea by the court this morning before sen tence was passed. Meldrum's attorneys gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. Meldrum's conviction disposes of leaders of the Howard gang of stock rustlers, which the Stockmen's Association have worked for years to convict. FACTORY IS NOW ASSURED.

The purpose Is to determine whether It Is cheaper to use Portland slab-wood than cord-wood purchased here.

Another concern In Salem is now using imported slab-wood in small quantities. Jndpre Dahose Released From Jail. OAKLAND, Cal.. Dec 17. Judge Dud ley C.

Secretary of State and Mrs. F. I. Dunbar returned today from a month's visit to the Eastern States. The principal purpose of tho trip was a visit to Mr. Dunbar's old home In Brooklyn, which he has not seen for 20 years. Both "Mr. and Mrs. Dunbar en Joyed the trip immensely, but are glad to get back to Oregon. Incidentally Mr. Dunbar made It an object to visit the State Departments in the capitals through which he passed, and to learn something of the methods used THE WHICH DISPUTES THE CLAIM LA GRANDE, Or., Dec 12. The La Grando football team disputes tho claim of Baker City to tho inter-scholastic cham pionship of Eastern Oregon, and has challenged It to a same on neutral ground. This Is tho La Grande team's first season ot training under a coach, and its present growth and strength are for that reason remarkable. It has played three games this season October 28, at La Grande, It defeated Union, IS to 0; November 1G, It was defeated by Baker City, at that place, by a score of 24 to 0; November 23, it played a tie gamo with Baker City, at La Grande. The line-up In tho picture herewith pre sented, beginning at the left on tho lower row. Is as follows: Hopper, right end; Peach, right tackle; Bay, right guard; Shaw, center; Robertson, left guard; Blocb, left tackle; Thomas, left end. Beginning at the left on tho upper row: Damon, coach; Swackhammer, substitute; W. Chllders, right half; Oliver, full back; Halley, quarter back; L. Chlldera, captain, left halt; Hansen, manager. In conducting state business. He made his longest visits to the capltols at Al bany, N. Y., and Boston, Mass. At both of these places he was very warmly re ceived by the State Auditors and was given all the information desired regard ing methods of keeping state accounts, TJ auditing claims, etc A similar visit was made to the office of the Auditor of the Treasury Department at Washington, where the method of keeping accounts was closely studied. Secretary Dunbar says he gained many good Ideas at each of these places, and will be able to use his Information to advantage In Improving the methods pur sued in Oregon. In some particulars he found that the system of keeping ac counts In the ofllce of the Secretary of State In Oregon Is superior to the system in New York and Massachusetts, and he returns to his own office better satisfied with some of his own methods. While many of the plans adopted In New York and Massachusetts and other states may not be practicable In their entirety In Oregon, the Ideas gained by his visit will enable him to adapt thoso methods to Oregon conditions. Mr. Dunbar brought with him specimens of the principal forms used in the Audit or's office in New York, and expects to find them -useful In the future in making forms for use in this state It is a mat ter of general knowledge that the man ner of auditing claims against the state has been very greatly Improved during Mr. Dunbar's term of office, by which means the state accounts are made more Intelligible to the general public, and It may be expected that other Improvements will follow as a result of his trip to the East Mr. Dunbar has also brought with him such literature as he could obtain re garding tax and assessment laws In the Eastern States, and will make a study of these, with a view to finding ways In which the Oregon laws may be improved. Such of these as may appear to be ap plicable will be called to tho attention of the members of the Legislature for their consideration. Chief among the laws Mr. Dunbar has sought information upon are the laws providing for the taxation of franchises and inheritances. As an il lustration of some of the many minor matters of Interest that came to his at tention Incidentally, Mr. Dunbar says the State of Wyoming taxes the railroad companies for each Pullman car upon which liquors are sold. Of course the railroad companies pay this or charge It to the consumer, and In either event the tax falls where It can be easily borne. People that do not consume liquors In Pullman cars do not have to help pay the tax. Mr. Dunbar learned that In the Auditors' ofllccs In the Eastern States, and at Washington. It Is the policy of the de partments, even where civil service rules do not prevail, to retain subordinate offi cials as long as they render good service. Thus the second assistant Auditor In New York has held his position for 31 years. State Auditors come and go with the uns and downs of politics, but the subordinate officials, upon whom depends the accuracy of the accounts and the efficiency of the service, are retained regardless of po litical changes. Speaking generally of his observations in the country through which he traveled. Mr. Dunbar says he was Impressed with the universal evidence of business pros perity. In the coal and Iron mining sec tions the mines were being worked to their full capacity: the railroads could hardly handle the business that awaited them; manufacturing Industries are work ing night and day. and municipalities were undertaking large public improve ments that cost millions of dollars and could not be Inaugurated except in times of financial prosperity. Everything indi cated the utmost industrial activity, and it seemed that the East is In the midst of a boom of development such as Is sup posed to take place only in tho Western States.

M. Bruce, attorney for the Scandinavian American Bank, of this city, which H. St. John DIx bought and wrecked, and for which offense Dlx was extradited today In London, England, whither he had fled, returned this morning from London, where he has been for the last four months, making Ineffectual attempts Lilly, I1L, May 3, J90J. I am ghd to add my testimony to that of many who have been benefited by the use of Vine of Cardui and Thedford's Black-Draught. Ever since my fifteenth year I have suffered untold misery from menstrual derangements. My symptoms were severe lancinating pains in the side, neuralgia, pains in the bact, loins and thighs. Each month I suffered from an increased pain in the head, neck and shoulders. I had several attacks of nervous fever and irritation of the stomach. Three years ago Vine of Cardui was recommended to me by a school teacher who had suffered in a like manner. I purchased a bottle and W2s greatly relieved. A year Jater I used aboutjhree bottles, and am willing to state that Vine of Cardui and Thedford's Black Draught are wonderful medicines and deserve great praise. No one need suffer from female disorders if they give these grand medicines a trial. Hoping this testimonial will induce some suffering woman to try "Wine of Cardui, 1 remain in gratitude, ANNA L. STUBES. "'or ad?lco and .Oopartment,' to effect a settlement with Dix's relations. Mr. Bruce was with St. John at the time his arrest was accomplished. Speaking of the affair today, he said: "I discovered after my arrival In Eng land that St. John Dlx had deceived my self and the people here In everything. His stories concerning his noble birth and his right of succession to English peer age are falsehoods. Neither has he a brother in the English Embassy In Wash ington, D. C. His real name Is Henry Jenkins, and he came to this country to escape prosecution in England for per petrating frauds with one Munson, who was captured, and whojs now serving a long term in an English prison. St. John DIx was what Is known In England a a tout. His method of swindling was to draw acceptances, he and Munson indorse, them, then put them In tho hands of a third party to ' negotiate. First, the ac ceptances were paid, and In this vay a sort of credit was established, which en abled them to Increase their operations until the final crash came." While his family Is comparatlvely poor, Mr. Bruce says that Dlx, or Jen kins, has some wealthy distant relatives, who promise to contest his extradition to the lasC ditch, and afterward furnish means for a stubborn defense in the courts here. An appeal will undoubtedly be taken to the Court of the King's Bench in London, which will delay the officer from starting homeward with him for about 30 days. RECOUNT GIVES IT TO ANSTIE.
