8 IS TO IN- LIGHTING PIPE Mrs. Lorena McKinster, Aged Woman, Sets Fire to Dress With' a Match. INMATE OF PATTON HOME Companions In Institution Rush to Her Aid and Smother Blaze With Rugs, but Help Comes Too Late to Save Her. When a smouldering match that she had v used to light her pipe set afire the white Summer dress she wore, yesterday morning. Mrs. Lorena McKinster, 88 years old, was so badly burned that she died three hours later. The accident occurred a few minutes before 10 o'clock, at the Pattern Home for the Aged, 875 Michigan avenue. After days of wasting sickness In her cot at the Home, where she has been an' Inmate for four years, Mrs. McKinster begged yesterday for Just one more breath cf fresh air and another look at the birds and live things from which she had been Shut so long. Mrs. Luella Lambert, the matron, helped her to dress In her Sun day best; the old lady was moved to smile almost cheerfully as she slipped on a skirt, of white, flimsy material, Mrs. Lambert wheeled her In an Invalid's chair to the front porch, where sat six, other old women. "May I not Bmoke my pipe?" quavered Mrs. McKinster of the matron. "Please let me this time." In the course of her hard life on a farm, Mrs. McKinster had learned to take solace In the soothing fumes of tobacco. The matron thought It best to humor her and brought the pipe filled with tobacco. Unconscious of Sanger. Mrs. McKinster's old hands trembled so She could hardly strike the match; fin ally It was done and she was puffing contentedly. No one noticed that the blazing splinter had fallen from her fin gers to the center of her lap. and was scorching the flimsy cloth. Mrs. McKin ster leaned back, unconscious of the peril. An old lady suddenly sniffed curiously. "Something burning." she said. A second later one saw whence came the smoke. The whole front of Mrs. McKinster's gown was ablaze, and flames were shoot ing up towards her face. "Flreri fire! fire!" they cried. "Fire! fire!" the fear some words almost precipitated a panlo In the home. Up on the third floor, Mrs. Lambert heard the call, and with all haste she ran to the porch. The old ladles in el frenzy of fear pick ed up rugs and tried to extinguish the flames with their feeble strength. Two men walking up Michigan avenue, ran to help them. They wrapped rugs around the old woman till the fire was smothered. She lay back without a sound, as one dead. Gently they, helped the matron carry her to the sick ward. It was found that she was terribly burned on her limbs and on the front part of her body. Site had also Inhaled flame. Beyond MedicaAld. When Dr. D. H. Rand arrived half an hour later, at 10 o'olock, he found Mrs. McKinster almost past help. Her pain had lessened, but nothing more could be done. At 2 o'clock In the afternoon she died, but there was not the usual agony that accompanies death. Dr. Rand notified Coroner Flnley, who will make a further Investigation. There is a touch of pathos In the life story of Mrs. McKinster. ' Years ago, it Is said, before Oregon became a state, she accompanied her husband, as a young wife, across the plains. They took up a farm in Columbia County, where she was obliged to fall to and work In the fields like a man. She had children, but as they grew up they died. Then her husband died and she was left alone. One single relative she is known to have, Mrs. Martha Butts, who formerly lived at Goble and Is a niece. Mrs. McKln was committed to the home four years ago. She was just recovering from a se vere sick spell of several months' dura tion. At one time she asked to see her niece. But, despite the efforts of the matron, she could not be found. Mrs. Butts' whereabouts today are not known. GRATEFUL TO THE PUBLIC Board of Directors of Institute Club Express Their Appreciation. PORTLAND, July 7.-(To the Editor.) --The board of directors -of the Institute Club of the People's Institute desire to express their deep appreciation of all the many kindnesses extended to them during the weeks of preparation of "The House That Jack Built," and at the time of its presentation. Were It possible to express their grati tude to each Individual personally, they would make every effort to do so, but in the accomplishment of so large an un dertaking there must, of necessity, be a host of kind friends and helpers, many of whom it would be Impossible to' reach. The board wishes to thank each child, big or little, who by faithful and con scientious work and enthusiastic inter est, helped to make the operetta a suc cess. They wish to thank the parents for their generous co-operation in every plan, the musicians and singers among the older people for their faithful, untiring efforts and gifted services; the chaperons who devoted themselves for weeks to most exacting work; the friends who made and donated candy, and the young ladles who sold It. They would thank one and all. Individ uals and business firms, in whatever phase of the work, or for whatever ser vice rendered, were it great or small. They desire to express their appreciation of the remarkably able manner in which Miss Martin performed her trduous task of teaching and drilling the young peo ple for their alloted work. By her firm ness as well as her tact, she won their respect and devotion, and by her sym pathy and enthusiasm stimulated them to their best efforts and carried them through rehearsals and drills with a de light In their task, and an increasing In terest and desire to make the completion of her plans a success.

"INDIVIDUALS AND RACE" Writer Says Men Should Quit Com petition and Use Co-operation. PORTIAND, July T. (To the Editor.) Tour editorial, "Individuals and the Raw. although not alone admirably written, but cla&rly defining- great truths, yet is open to criticism. While It is true that Nature, the totality of natural processes, has no purposes nor Intelligence and that she produces adapta tion, hence we have the tiger and rattle snake, the editor errs in not noting the difference between animal life and human society. Animals, as they only produce with the organs provided by nature, cannot rise above the means provided by nature. Man's development occurs In the manner that his own organism develops Itself the brain Included a process carried on by means of the struggle for life. Man rises above the animal by Inventing the tools which serve for production, for de tense' and attack. Wltri the production of the means of production, the animal man begins to be the human man. - He thus founds his own empire, which is wholly un known in the rest of nature. With these tools he uses the forces of nature to create for himself a new arti ficial environment, satisfying new desires, and In these new environments are the forces which make for greater progress or the Inventing of greater means for a higher and better' plan of life. It Is thus we can call man the creator of his environment. That individual suc ceeds that can adapt himself to the new environment As this progress Is continuous, there can be no perfection, and the great force or progress is the adaptation of the individual to the environment. If such is sound reasoning, then the edi tor is la error when he says: "Perfection is what we reach by progress, and all progress has been an Incessant struggle against adaptation." While it Is true that the Bowery tough Is adapted to his environ ment, we must remember that human so ciety has. In common with animal life, the competitive struggle for existence, and that, on account of this struggle, and also private ownership of those tools of production and also the land, the great majority of Indi viduals have no opportunity 'to enjoy the benefits of civilisation. When we plant a rose in our garden we are very careful to keep away all weeds, to give it water, food and sunshine, so that all Its energy can be expended In Its growth and development. For our children and women, on the other hand, we have faotorles to crush their energy. Then we wait for a great spirit, or God, to remedy the evil, or await better results In heaven after we die. Would It not be better to apply the principle upon which we raise our pet dogs and roses to our women and children? It Is true, as the editor says, "the word raoe' Is an empty conceit," but would It not be far better. In turning onr attention from the Individual, to look at so ciety at large, - regardless of creed, color or eex, 00 tliat all can enjoy the benefits of civilization, chang ing the economlo basis of society from the competitive struggle for existence to the co-operative? In the latter alone can the individual expand and develop his indi viduality. In such society the individual will be a great force, as he will be honored as his usefulness to society at large de velops, where at present be Is honored on account of hie wealth. The development of the Individual 1s not alone for himself, as at present, but for society at large. This and this alone, la true individualism. JOHN A. GOLDRAINER. DROWNED IN A SLOUGH Orson K. Collins Meets Death In Boating Accident. Orson E. Collins, a to-yearvoW boy who resided with his parents at 103 Hast Fif tieth street North, was drowned at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon in Columbia slough, near Cully's farm.

When they reaohed the middle of the stream, they found that the boat was leaking, and that they' could not steer It. With the aid of an oar, one of the boys brought the craft near the shore, and the other boys, fearing that they would be unable to get nearer. Jumped. One of the boys, Mike Wrambal, stayed with the boat Toung Collins Jumped and fell in and the current carried him under. Wrambal made a heroic effort to save the drowning lad, but failed.

TELLS OF EARLY SCHOOLS George H. IIlmes Speaks Before Evening Star Grange. George H. Hlmes, of the Oregon Histori cal Society, is' a welcome visitor at all grange halls of the county or state. Mr. Himes was on the programme Saturday at Evening Star Grange and read a paper of rare historical Interest on the forma tion of the early schools In the Oregon country. He began with the first school at Vancouver started by John Ball when the Hudson Bay Company was In power. He then traced the formation of other schools and Interspersed the narrative with incidents of pioneers whose names, are almost household words In this state. He told of Senator Nesmlth. Rev. C. O. Hosford, now living at Mount Tabor, Rev. N. Doane, the wife of Levi Ankeny, and a long list of well-known pioneers. The object of the paper was to trace the organization of the first OTegon schools and the establishment of public schools In Oregon. This was done, and Mr. Hlmes was heartily thanked for his paper. HIS GRAVE IS NEGLECTED Lot W'hltcomtKForgotten by Town of Mllwaukle, That He Founded. Unless something Is done soon to pre serve the grave of Lot Whlteomb, the founder of Mllwaukle, It will soon disap pear altogether. The grave Itself has already been obliterated except for the moss-covered broken marble shaft that alone marks the spot where he was burled 50 years ago. The shaft has been broken half way between the bottom and top. It stands in the grove In the center of Mllwaukle in grounds formerly owned by P. J. Henniman, but who recently sold the tract. Whether any provision was made for the preservation of the grave is not known. Whlteomb was an Important man in his time. He came to Mllwaukle in 1847 and was Its leading spirit. He built a steamer called the Lot Whlteomb at Milwaukie and was Interested in the Standard Flour Mills which made the place famous. He was anxlouB to make Milwaukie a big city and would probably have succeeded, but death cut short his career at the age of 49 years. George H. Hlmes is of the opinion that the peo ple of Mllwaukle should not allow Whit comb's grave to be obliterated. May Enlarge Grange Hall. J. W. Shattuck and Timothy Brownhlll, wba form a committee from Gresham Grange, were taking measurements Satur day of Evening Star Grange hall with a view to enlarging the hall.

E One of Portland's Best-Known Pioneers -Passes Away.. BEGAN LIFE AS NEWSBOY Crossed Plains When Babe In Arms and Started Badness by Selling The Oregonian Was Fam ous as a Rose Lover. John Burke, one of -Portland's best known pioneer residents, died a few minutes before 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing In the house at 334 Salmon street, where for. 64 years he had lived almost constantly. There are many who will re call the old man with the rosebud In his buttonhole who was a familiar figure on the streets. "Johnny" his friends called him despite his age. Roses and the Rose City were the two things In which he most delighted. "Johnny" Burke was Just six weeks old when he started across the plains In his mother's arms, a passenger in one of the old time ox trains of prairie schooners, bound for Oregon. It took half a year to make that trip. .When his father, after completing the last part of the Journey, from The Dalles down the Co lumbia River, on a log raft, built a house where Seventh and Alder now is, the baby was Just a year old. . ' Among others in the same emigrant train were the lata J. E. Strowbridge and T. A. Wood. The Burke's camped on their first night in Portland where the Oddfellow's 'hall now stands, at First and Alder streets. In those days there was not very much of Portland, and newspapers were few. John Burke was one of the first news boys and about his first work was selling The Oregonian at 26 cents a copy. He saved his money and later became & member of the pioneer plumbing firm of Donnerberg & Barrett, later going Into business with Thomas Varwig. both In Astoria and Portland. Mr. Burke was the promoter of the old Jefferson-street ferry that ran before the Madlson-stret bridge was thought of. When Portland began to assume metro politan airs, he was one of the promoters of the East Portland water works, and in 1SS9 with W. S. Chapman became a contractor. For the past seven or eight years, however,. Mr. Burke has devoted his time to caring for his roses, in the culture of which he was very enthusias tic. One of his pet hobbles was always to wear a fresh bud in his buttonhole, and ho took great delight in supplying tourists with the flowers, and In praising Portland to them. Mr. Burke was an active member of the old Volunteer Fire Department, and never failed to answer the alarm during nearly a score of years. When the paid department was organized he was given an exempt certificate, of which he was very proud. He enjoyed the memories of the old days, and never tired of talk ing about the times when he "ran with the machine." He was also an esteemed member of the Oregon Pioneer Association and never missed attending the annual re union until this year, when sickness prevented him. Mr. Burke had his turn at "the show business" and as advance agent for- ag gregations, sent out by J. P. Howe and other theater managers' during the early '80s, he became well known in all cities along the Paclflo Slope. For almost two years Mr. Burke had been suffering from nervousness and locomotor ataxia. He was born in St. Louis, Feb ruary 7, 1852. He was a Roman Catholio and the funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'olock at the Cathedral. In terment will he in the family lot at St. Mary's Cemetery. Mr. Burke was never married. Two sisters. Miss Mollle Burke, of Portland, and Mrs. B. F. Humason, of Spokane, and a brother, Henry Burke, of Oakland, CaL, survlva him. INVOLVE COURT OFFICIALS RUMOR THAT JTJRT'S VERDICT MAT IMPLICATE THEM. Roy Fuller, of Baker City, Found Guilty of Manslaughter -on Second Trial. BAKER CITT, Or., July 7. (Special) At a late hour last night after being out six hours the Jury in the case of Roy Fuller brought in a verdict finding the defendant guilty of manslaughter. Fuller was accused of performing a criminal operation on the person of a young wom an. causing peritonitis, from which she JOHN i DEAD THOUSANDS ENJOY COOL AND SHADY NOOKS OF CITY PARK' v Popular Recreation Place Is Tilled All Day by Crowd That Amuses Itself Viewing Animals and Flowers. J- to enjoy their holidays; they are too restless." That Is a remark attributed to a foreign visitor to this country some years, ago. If the author of the expression had been in Portland yesterday, and had spent the afternoon at the City Park, he would hav amended his opinion one-half. He would have discovered that a large num ber of the residents of one of the most Intensely American cities on the conti nent was in the synunlclpal playground and that the adult portion of the assem blage was anything other than restlesa He could have made good his opinion if children only were referred to. In comfortable attitudes on the grass in shady places; on benches In the cool ravines; occupying seats overlooking the city and the river, with the distant snow clad mountain peaks forming a back ground pleasing to the eye and comforting to the imagination on a hot afternoon, there he would have found Americans en joying to the full their Sunday half holiday. And, excepting the children again, there was no evidence of restless ness. It was too hot. Streetcars leading to the City Park carried hundreds to the heights all the afternoon, and It was not until his majesty the king of beasts lifted up his voice and announced to his keeper that It was supper time that the crowd began to thin out. Many family parties brought lunches with them and were thus pre pared to remain until dark and enjoy the refreshing Influences of a whole day outing on the hills. There was an absence of band music, as .the regular Sunday concerts are. not to begin until next week, when De Caprlo is to start a series, to continue as long as the appropriation lasts, and longer in case a'dditional funds are raised from private sources.

FORM BRANCH WITH THREE Oregon City Letter-Carriers Organ ized All Hold Office. OEGON CITY, Or., July 7. (Special.) Wtih only three letter-carriers In Oregon City a branch of the National associa tion has been formed, and the carriers were organized last night, with the fol lowing officers: Charles Fuge, president; David Baker, vice-president; John Etchl son, secretary-treasurer. The associa tion will be known as No. 82, and will be a branch of the National Association. Twenty-three of the Portland letter-carriers came up from Portland to assist In the organization;, and their secretary, Fred Holm, accompanied the party and officially organized the branch. The Na tional association has 25,000 members and will hold Its "next convention in Canton, O., next September. Midnight Blaze at Astoria. ASTORIA. Or., July 7. (Special.) The building formerly occupied by the Warren Packing Company and adjoin ing the Lindenberger cold storage plant, at the foot of Seventh srteet, was destroyed by fire shortly after midnight- A large number of barrels and some machinery were stored in the build ing, and the loss Is probably 10,000. The Llndenberger plant was saved, through the excellent work of the Fire Depart ment, The origin of the fire is un known. HO FOR GRAYS HOQCTAM SALOONS CLOSED SUN DAY HEREAFTER. Aberdeen Is Expected to Follow Suit. Liquor-Dealers Will Prob ably Submit. HOQUIAM, Wash., July 7. (Special.) The wave of reform, which has been, sweeping .over the Paclflo Northwest the past year, has struck Hoouiam and next Sunday the officials, led by City Attor ney Campbell, will put on the lid, clos ing all saloons on Bunday and later closing the dancehalls which are now running full blast In- the restricted dls trioL "I Intend to put on the lid," said City Attorney Campbell, "and I shall notify all saloons that on next Sunday, July 14, they , must remain closed during the entire day. Chehalla County is one of the few counties in the state of Wash ington In which things are run wide open, and I propose to enforce the law by closing all the resorts- "In this work I must have the support of (lie Mayor, City Council and Police Department, In order to make convic tions should the law be broken. During the month of August the licenses for sa loons in which the dancehalls are run will come up before the City Council, and I shall try my best to get the Coun cil to refuse these licenses. Should the licenses "be granted then I will not rec ommend the bond, but I do not look for anything like this to happen, as I can see no object In the officials refusing to assist me." "Will you close Hoqulam and allow Aberdeen to run Its'- saloons and dance halls wide open r the City Attorney was asked. "Tes, I shall do my duty, and think the wave of sentiment for cleaner cities and strict enforcement 'of the law will see that Aberdeen resorts will be closed and the law enforced. In other words, the dancehalls must go." Mayor Mclntyre, when Interviewed on the Sunday closing plan, said: "I am heartily in favor of a movement for both Aberdeen and Hoqulam along this line, and think both cities should work in harmony. The action of the two cities should be along the same line, as both towns are so close, and a move of this nature by one town should be followed by the other. In the work City Attor ney Campbell will have the support of the entire police force, and I want to see both towns work together .enforcing the law." Since the lid has been put on in Seattle and Tacoma It is doubtful whether the saloon men will try to fight the Sunday closing law, but it was town talk two years ago that should the law be put into effect the saloon men would fight It in the courts. The officials expect much complaint from the saloon element when this matter is made public, owing to the high license, which is 100 a year, but this will cut no figure in tha work planned, it is said. . Shedds Building Up. ALBANY. Or., July 7. (Special.) Though the entire business section of the own of Shedds was destroyed by fire only a month ago, the town is rapidly rebuilding. Davis & Shedd, who owned the largest ofnhe burned stores, have a new warehouse already constructed In which they are doing business pending the construction of a large brick store. bandstand, that was temporarily occupied as an Ice cream and soda water refresh ment booth, did its best to amuse the children, who danced about the place, unable to decide whether they enjoyed the "music" more than . they longed to fill their stoeiachs with the tempting things that, were In evidence in the booth. The zoo SLgaln attributed more attention than any other feature of the park's equipment. The monkeys and bears were fed so many peanuts that toward even ing they declined to be interested longer and lolled about in gluttonous comfort. A little man In knee pants attentively watched a mamma monkey industriously, engaged In pursuing an elusive flea in the hairy coat of her offspring. He laughed heartily at the antics of the mamma monkey as she grabbed here and there for the world's champion Jumper, and finally looked up into the face of his mother and called out In a voice tha could be distinctly heard by the 40 or GO people standing near: "Muzzy, who doesn't the monkey-mus take a fine comb like you do when you hunt boos In my head?". With a face of scarlet, the discomfited mother dragged the little man in knee pants out through the laughing crowd and disappeared toward the streetcar. The rain last week btighened up the verdure and started late roses into bloom, and the result is that the park Is looking its best. Many expressions of admiration were heard from strolling parties over the fine appearance of the flower-bordered walks. Dahlias are . coming Into profuse blooming and the park collection is a most creditable one. The view from the bluff looking down the river had a new interest yesterday in having the Charleston in the picture. The cruiser was in plain sight from many points on the hillside and many field-glasses were pointing fa her direc tion from the parkside. 1 1! WOULD ABOLISH SYSTEM SOCIALIST SATS PRESENT PLAN OF THINGS IS AWRY. People, . However, Have Power to Remould It Nearer to Their Hearts' Desire. "Until we repeal all laws, abolish in terest, rent and profit, which are alone responsible for the conditions of which we complain, we may expect to have to contend with trusts and other unequal trade, conditions," said J. D. Stevens In addressing Branch No. 6 of the Socialist party. In Alisky Hall, last night. "Po litical action is the only remedy for treating with the trusts and other Illegal combinations of capital, Including the amassing of large fortunes. This rem edy lies wholly in the hands of the peo ple themselves. "Much complaint has been heard In Portland during the last several montho of different trusts and combines, but in every- Instance that a remedy has been sought,- the wrong method has been adopted. The advance In wood at this season of the year is a singular thing. Take sugar for example. The cost of this commodity Is seldom advanced ex cept during the fruit-curing season, when there Is a great demand for It, but here we find wood dealers advancing the cost of this' fuel when the weather Is the hottest and the consumption is the light est. It amounts merely to a control of the market and an effort to scare con sumers Into purchasing a supply at this time under threat of a still further ad vance In price. "At the time of the recent Mayoralty contest, the price of wood had been raised to a limit beyond all reason and there existed at that time the same fear of a famine that la now apparent, still the people did not agitate tne question, neither did the candidates take a posi tion on the subject. Instead, the only Issue at stake appeared to be the dis position of a few unfortunate persons in the North End. - Should Have Been Issue. "The candidates for Mayor at that time should have been asked not only what they Intended to do regarding the combination between the lumber mills, and the wood dealers by which the out put was controlled, but what they pro posed te do towards preventing the in ordinate waste of between 20,000 and 80.000 cords of this slabwood which was dumped into the sloughs In this city. This waste was more criminal than would the theft of the wood have been. The dealers, I understand, say that the reason for the present high price of wood Is because there Is only a limited amount of this fuel, for which tMure is a big demand.' This Is not the fact, for there Is plenty of slabwood produc&S In Portland and vicinity, if properly mar keted, to provide every family In the city with an abundance and at a reason able 'cost. "The trouble In these days of trusts and monopolies is with the system which has been established. It gives - these grasping interests the privilege and even compels them to take the very action they are taking. We Socialists contend that the only remedy from the abuses from which we suffer, including high, prices and the accumulating of excessive fortunes, lies In the repeal of the laws which have enabled." such conditions to develop and the enactment of laws that will prevent meu from receiving more than they earn. The difficulty Is not with the men, but in the conditions by which they are surrounded. Even Japan, which has Just come into international prominence. Is to be seen with one hand reaching out to seize Cores, Siberia and all other land it is p6sslble to grasp, while with the other hand she proposes to shut out the commerce of the world. She has absorbed the one idea which seems to govern every country and Indi vidualthe seizing by force of everything that may possible be acquired. Disregard Will of People. "We have reached that stage In the administration of our laws where one Judge or a single legislative act annuls and. sets aside the expressed wishes of the people. For Instance, petitions call ing for the referendum of the State Uni versity appropriation, the Stevens bill, the compulsory pass bill and the appro priation of J100.000 for armories have all been defeated by the action of one judge. There is no question but that the people knew what they were doing when they petitioned to "be allowed a referendum vote on these questions, still one man holds thai the petitions are technically In valid and the will of the great majority Is defeated." Referring to the proposed fight by the Federated Trades Council against the wood trusty Mr. Stevens said he had nd doubt but that the friends of organized labor were In earnest, but he Insisted that the means they proposed to adops will prove insufficient to bring about the relief that is demanded. The spestker especially attacked the bill appropriating $100,000 for National Guard armories In this state, denouncing the measure as "useless, vicious and ' criminal. The armory we already have here In Port land," he said, "had better be converted mto practical uses, where children could be assembled and taught some sense. Another ridiculous measure was the H.
