ings After a Struggle.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove.
March 11. (Special.) Pacific University
sustained a severe loss today In the total
destruction by fire of Herrldk Hall, the
young women's dormitory and general
boarding hall. The building was one of
the finest upon the campus, and the loss
Is about $20,000. although the original cost
was only $14,000. Of this amount, approx
imately one-half Is covered by insurance
The fire originated this morning soon
after 11 o'clock, while most of the In
mates were attending services in the
various churches. The flames were dis
covered by the matron, Miss Olivia Has
kell, who gave the alarm. Within three
hours after the conflagration started the
beautiful four-story dormitory wag re
duced to a pile of smoldering embers, and
it Is only due to the efficient work of the
fire departments of both Forest Grove
and Hillsboro, and citizens and students,
that the three other college buildings did
not meet the same fate.
It Is thought that the fire was caused
by a defective flue, although It may
have been kindled by falling sparks. The
flames were first seen on the extreme
'ast roof and appeared to have burned
through from the Inside. When once afire,
the wooden structure burned with fur
nace heat, the flames fanned by a driving
fast wind. Had the fire caught In one
of the lower stories, nothing would have
"been saved from the building. As It was,
most of the contents were safely re
moved. The firemen, under Chief Lenneville,
were on the scene witthln a few minutes
after the alarm was given and did the
best work possible with the appliances
available. For the first half hour they
held the flames In check, while the town
people and students, who had come from
their homes and the churches, which had
been dismissed at once, carried out tho
movable contents.
The work of the Are department was
greatly handicapped by the Inadequate
protection. The campus Is absolutclv
without facilities for fighting fire, there
being not a single hydrant upon the uni
versity grounds with which the hose
company could make a connection. The
nearest hydrant Is outside the grounds,
more than 1000 feet from the site of Her
ricK Hall, necessitating the use of only
one line of hose. For this reason the
flames would gain good headway In one
place while they were being checked In
another
Even with this drawback the structure
might haw; been saved had It not been
for the strong wind. Marsh Hall, Science
Hall and the Academy building, which
were In the direct path of the sparks and
burning embers, 100 yards, wept, were In
great danger. Students patrolled the
roofs with buckets of water, which the
piercing wind converted Into sheets of
ice almost as soon as It was thrown on
thf shingles.
A burning umbrella was blown Into tho
"basement of Marsh Hall. Igniting the fur
nace wood, but was discovered before
much headway had been gained. Marsh
Hall Is the main college building, con
taining the school library and other val
uables. Its destruction would have lu-en
an Irreparable loss to the university. Nu
merous small fires on the campus and in
the trees wer? put out by watchful citi
zens. Soon after the commencement of
the blaze, the gasoline from a large tank
in the basement of Herrlck Hall was
drained out. forestalling what might have
leen a disastrous explosion.
As soon as word of the fire reached
Hillsboro, six miles away, the fire de
partment left for the scene, but arrived
after Herrlck Hall was a mass of flames.
Tt asrlsttd the tmvn people, however. In
keeping jfua-d over the business district,
which lies west of the campus and was
threatened by flying sparks.
A blaze was extinguished on the post
office building and another at Ward's
lumber yard. Had either gained head
way, the entire business district would
probably have been wiped out. as the
efforts of the firemen would have proved
futile with the high wind.

Church served coffee to the fire-fighters

There was no more conspicuous build

From Its commanding position it could
be easily seen from nearly any portion
of the town. The other college buildings

HAY AND BARLEY- BURNED
Railroad Contracts at Riparla Suf
fer a Heavy Loss.
LEWISTON, Idaho. March 1L (Spe
cial.) Word reached here tonight of a fire
which occurred at Riparla at a late hour
last night, when several hundred tons of
hay and several thousand sacks of barley
belonging to Erickson &. Peterson, rail
road contractors, were burned. One la
borer, whose name was not learned, was
severely burned., and he was taken to the
railroad camp hospital at Almota today.
It was reported that one man was
buriied to death, but neither contractors
nor parties at Riparla arc prepared to
confirm this fact. The strenuous work
of tho men saved the buildings from turn
ing. A spark from a switch engine caused
the fire.
Owing to tho severe east wind, which
has prevailed for two days, the steamer
did not arrive here until 11 o'clock to
night, and it is reported that the wind at
Riparla has never blown so hard in 30
years.
BIG LIST OF CANDIDATES
MARION HAS CHOICE OF TWENTY-SIX
FOR LEGISLATURE.
Contest for Nomination for Seat In
National House Is Attract
ing 3fost Attention.
SALEM, Or., March 11. (Special.)
Political affairs in Marlon County will
assume a more lively aspect during tho
coming week, when it is thought all
the legislath-e candidates will have
filed their announcements and will be
gin their active campaigns. There are
two Senators and Ave Representatives
to elect, and It is now apparent that
there will be about six aspirants for
the Republican nominations for Senator
and about 20 for Representative.
When all have filed, and the peoplo
know the list from which they must
make their choice, there will be more
interest manifested. At present few
promises are being made, for the mem
bers of the party want to see the com
plete list before tying themselves up to
anj one In particular.
The Congressional contest keeps to
the front, as it has from the start, and
interest In that feature of the cam
paign shows no signs of abating. Judg
ing by the attention the various con
tests receive, it would seem that the
voteis consider the Congressional of
fice the most Important they have to
fill. Usually the Gubernatorial contest
absorbs most attention but this year
proves to be an exception to the gen
eral rule.
All the Congressional candidates
have made a tour of the entire dis
trict, except- that Hawlcy has not visit
ed Coos and Curry Counties. Hawlcy
has Just completed a visit to Douglas
and Benton and has gone to Coos for
a week's canvass. Huston has been
campaigning in Douglas and Lane dur
ing the past week and during his ab
sence" Tooze has dropped over into that
gentleman's own bailiwick, Washing
ton County, to make some speeches.
Neither Hawlcy nor Huston has been
making very strenuous campaigns.
Tooze, however, has been setting a
warm pace and promises to do so in
the future. He has employed a private
secretary ana a stenographer to look
after his campaign at home and has
started on a speech-making trip, which
is expected to include all the small
towns. Tooze says his chances are
good for carrying Washington County,
which has been generally conceded to
Huston. Hawley's friends are basing
their hopes largely on pluralities in
Marlon. Polk, Benton, Lane, Douglas,
Josephine and Jackson.
The much-desired treaty of peace be
tween Marion County's three candi
dates for Secretary of State has not
materialized and it is apparent that
all arc determined to stay in till the
finish. Gatch. Pearce and Wrightman
have all toured the state, and each is
confident of winning. Since there are
three from this county, many voters
refuse to line up for any one of them,
for nearly every voter is a personal
and political friend of more than one
of them. The contest will therefore
not be very warm in this county and
the strife for votes will be conducted
mostly in other parts of the state F.
W. Benson, of Douglas County, the
other aspirant for the Secretaryship, is
traveling- over the state and has paid
a visit to the home of his three oppo
nents. No interest whatever is being mani
fested in the nominations for Supreme
Judge. Attorney-General. Superinten
dent of Public Instruction or Labor
Commissioner, but there seems to b
a lively contest waging over the office
of State Printer. W. J. Clarke, of Ger
vals, believes after a tour of the statu
that he Is a winner. Others think that
the race is between Will Is Duniway, of
Portland, and J. R. Whitney, the pres
ent Incumbent: All three are making
vigorous campaigns.
Carter Visits Roscburg.
ROSEBURG. Or.. March 11. (Special.)
Hon. E. V. Carter, of Ashland, candidate
for the Republican nomination for State
Treasurer, was in this place Saturday, in
the interest of his candidacy. He seems
quite encouraged as to the outlook in gen
eral, and was very kindly received by his
friends in Roscburg. In his platform he
says he "Is not the candidate of any
clique, faction, organization or socioty."
He relies upon his business ability and
experience to fit him for the position. He
favors the idea that all interest on public
funds shall be turned into the state, rath
er than to the pocket of the Treasurer.
He promises, if elected, an honest admin
istration and loyal support to any nomi
nee of the "Republicans at the direct pri-.
mary nominating election.

DEPEW DISAPPEARS AGAIN
Ashamed to Show Himself in Senate.
PJatt.Fast Falling Oregon Pow
erless In House Burton's
Struggle to Return.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 10. Senator Chauncey M.
Depew is making himself scarce about
the Capitol these days. Where he Is.
what he is doing or what ho intends to
do. no one can ascertain. He showed up
in the Senate for three or four days fol
lowing the Christmas holidays and then
disappeared. He was manifestly ill at
easo when he appeared in public: though
DESTROYED BY FIRE. SUNDAY MORNING
HER HICK HALL. PACIFIC
heartily greeted by many Senators, ho
nevertheless felt uncomfortable in the
Senate, where he was the "observed of all
observers," and where he attracted the
attention of the galleries and visitors on
the floor. Depew realized when he went
back to the Senate that he was In dis
grace; he felt he was not on a par with
other Senators; he knew he could never
again hope to be an honored and respect
ed member of that body. and. rather than
subject himself to unnecessary criticism,
he withdrew from the limelight and
sought seclusion, nobody knows where.
Before he went back to the Senate, De
pew nnnounced his intention of "resign
ing the 70-odd directorates In various
companies and corporations in order that
he might devote his entire time to his
public duties as a Senator." Judging from
his actions, he has not yet shuffled off the
burdensome directorates for he Is certain
ly not devoting his entire time to his
work -as a Senator.
Was Nonentity In Senate
Though he has five more years to serve
In the Senate. Depew can never regain
his standing "in that body. It Is true he
was never a great or an intlucntlal Sena
tor. Aside from the disclosures made in
the insurance investigations. Depew was
a failure in the Senate. His reputation
had been made as a wit and an orator. In
the Senate he displayed neither of these
talents: he .was Identified with no Impor
tant legislation; he entered upon a hum
drum routine and that was all. The coun
try expected much of him and It was dis
appointed. The first time It was nnnounced that
Senator Depew would speak, the galleries
and the Senate floor were crowded. But
the speech was a dismal failure. It was
not bright. It was not witty, it was not
entertaining. It was a plain, straight
forward argument, not at all what the
public had expected, and the public was
disappointed. So was the Senate. Depew
has spoken few times In the Senate; he
has made no notable speech that will be
remembered: he has fathered no Impor
tant legislation; he has never been Iden
tified in the remotest way with the really
Important work of Congress. His record
for seven years is a blank, and the State
of New York has been the loser. It cer
tainly got a gold brick when the Legisla
ture sent Depew ro the Senate.
Piatt Crippled and Failing.
In late years. Senator Piatt has been lit
tle better titan Depew. Though feeble of
body and less active mentally than In his 1
prime, Piatt does attend the sessions; he
does vote, and he does look after some
matters of local interest to his state. He
does this at a great personal physical
sacrifice, for he is no longer able to walk
alone. He is attended by one. sometimes
two. strong men In going from his car
riage to his seat: he Is attended every
time ho leaves his desk; he cannot go
about by himself. Yet he drives to the
Capitol almost every day; he sits through
a great portion of the sessions and wields
a part of the power conferred upon him
as a Senator. But he Is manifestly in
capable of serving his state as it should
be sorved.
Thus Is the great Empire State made
the feeblest state in the Union in Its repre
sentation In the Senate. Ono'Scnator dis
graced and ashamed to show his face: the
other old and feeble, unable to attend to
the duties devolving upon him. One can-
not but think as he looks over the United
States Senate that it is time New York
had a new deal.
Oregon's Plight In House.
As New York Is virtually without rep
resentation In the Senate, so Oregon is
virtually without representation in the
House. Oregon Is entitled to two Con
gressmen, and has elected them, but both
have fallen into the clutches of the law.
The one remains at home awaiting a
trial of his appeal; the other, though sev
eral times Indicted, has come to Washing
ton and daily attends the sessions of the
House, but he accomplishes nothing for
his constituents. Representative Her
mann can do no more for Oregon in the
House than Senator Depew can do for
New York in the upper branch not as
much. In fact.
From-. the first day 'of his appearance
in the House, Representative Hermann
has stuck close to his desk; he has not.
mingled with other members; he has not
participated in debates; he has not se
cured action on a single bill he has Intro
duced; he has not even been permitted tc
fill postofflce vacancies in his own dis
trict. He has voted, and that is all, but
no vote has ever been so close that he
could decide one "way or the other, so the
net result of his labors has been nil.
It Is a lonesome.v humiliating existence
Herman j is leading in Washington.
Is avoided not only by fellow-members
but by the Senators from his own state.
Not once since he arrived In Washington
has Hermann been consulted about a sin
gle matter of Interest to Oregon; not
once have the Senators asked him to look
after local legislation, called on or con
ferred with him; they ignore him ea-
OBEGONIAX, MONDAY, 3IARCH 12, 1906.
tirely. If they want local legislation ad
vanced, they go to members from other
states not to Hermann. A wore sensi
tive man could not stand the strain; De
pew could not stand it. so he Quit. But
not so with Hermann. He Is in evidence
every day, even though he accomplishes
nothing.
Burton Hovers in Lobbies.
"Bleeding Kansas" is another state that
is paying the penalty for sending the
wrong kind of man to the Senate. Joseph
R. Burton, convicted grafter, is still fight
ing before the courts in hope of securing
an acquittal that will at least permit him
to resume his seat once more before the
end of his term on March i. 1S07. But
Burton was apparently so deeply Involved
in so gross a graft that the courts can
not even find their way clear to permit
him to resume his scat for a single day.
Since he was first Indicted. Burton has
itched to get back In the Senate; he has
many tlmes"lgone into the cloakrooms and
glared through the glass doors toward
his vacant seat; he resorted to a subter
fuge In order to get his mileage this
Winter, but he dares not go into the Sen
ate, for he well knows that Senators
stand ready to expel him if he has the
effrontery to force himself in among his
colleagues. And Kansas pays the bill,
for she gives up one-half of her repre
sentation in the Senate as a penalty for
electing a grafter to high office.
. Blackburn Added to List.
And now is added to the list young
Spencer Blackburn. Congressman from
North Carolina, who is Indicted for the
very crime that disgraced Burton and
Mitchell, and he is compelled to withdraw
UNIVERSITY; FOREST GROVE.
from the House in order, as he says, to
vindicate himself at home. If Blackburn
has been fool enough to violate the very
law which hastened the end of Mitchell
and Vs leading Burton to the penitentiary,
he deserves no sympathy; if he Is the vic
tim of a conspiracy, as he declares, he
will be restored to good standing In Con
gress. Blackburn says he is Innocent; so
did Mitchell and Burton and all the rest.
Meanwhile his state, and more particu
larly his district, suffers.
Clearly. It Is time that only good and
tried men should be sent to Congress. It
is expensive to send the other kind, not
to mention the disgrace.

SPECULATE OK DECISION
IDAHO SUPREME COURT PASSES
OX WRITS TODAY.
Lawyers Wonder Whether Motion to
Strike Allegations In Federation
Cases Will Be Sustained.
BT AV. G. MACRAE.
BOISE, Idaho. March ll.-(Staff corre
spondence.) This has been a day of rest
for nearly all concerned in the case of
the officials and members of the "West
ern Federation of Miners. The attorneys
have spent the day In speculating on the
decision, which will be forthcoming to
morrow from the State Supreme Court,
upon the motion to strike out the alle
gations in the writs of habeas corpus
filed in behalf of Moyer, Pcttlbone and
Haywood.
The motion to strike out the allegations
of the defense goes at the very heart of
the writs and should the decision go
against the men under arrest there will
be little need to continue the arguments.
The case will go to the United States
Supreme Court If the writs are denied.
James H. Hawlcy spent a. part ot the
day in preparing his answer to the writ
filed in the District Court for the release
of Vincent St. John. What this answer
will set up Is not known, but It Is be
lieved that It will be shown that the
grand Jury, which will resume Its delib
erations Tuesday, is Investigating tho
evidence against this prisoner To spec
ulate upon the decisions In both cases
is a good deal like taking a census of
a lot of eggs before the period of Incuba

to say that the applications for all four
prisoners will be denied.
