YOUNG MAN BURNED ALIVE
Fire Also Badly Injures Two Men
at Hood River.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 18. (Spe
cial.) Hood River experienced the
most destructive fire in Its history to
day, when half a block of buildings
was destroyed and a young machinist
named Ray Utter was burned to death.
His companion. Ernest Boggess, wno
attempted to rescue Utter, was so bad
ly burned that it was at first feared he
would die, but it is stated tonight by
the hospital authorities that he will
probably recover. Paul Hubbard, who
had an automobile in the garage, one
of the buildings that was burned, was
severely burned about the hands in
rescuing: his machine.
In addition to the garage, wnicn naa
just been completed, a blacksmith and
machine ship, in which was located
$18,000 worth of new machinery, was
burned to the ground. A nearby dwell
ing belonerlner to D. A. Turner was
totallv destroyed and the homes of J.
B. Hunt, C. H. Vaughan and W. F.
Laraway were on fire and kept from
being burned with great difficulty on
account of the high wind. The loss is
estimated at over $25,000, with $4000
Insurance.
Utter, who was but 18 years old, lost
his life through the explosion of a
machine for vulcanizing tires and
which caused the gasoline tank in con
nection with it to be set on fire. Be
fore it could be rescued. Utter"s body
was almost entirely consumed.
Man in Rags Carries $1800
in His Pockets.
Dime Banded Rim by Woman Is
Hurled to Middle of Street.
O not arrest the poor old man,
said a kind-hearted woman last
night to Sergeant Patten and Patrolman
Croxford as they were about to take Into
custody a ragged, old man who was Bit
ting at the roadside at Union avenue
and Going street. Giving the aged man a
dime, the kind-hearted woman passed
on down the street, thinking perhaps she
had performed a charitable deed.
"Thinks I am a bum, does she," mut
tered the old man as he eased after her
retreating figure.
Rising to his feet, he hurled the dime
into the middle of the street and in the
presence of the two offlcrs reached into
a pocket and produced a roll of .green
backs amounting to $800. "I need a dime
do I?" he continued, as he dove into an
other pocket and produced a second roll
of $1000.
On being questioned the man said he
had walked from Canada to Portland and
carried bis blankets on his back. "It
is too expensive to pay railroad fare,"
he said, "and by walking and sleeping

Many Offenses Against Quarantine
Reported and Violators Will Be
Fined or Imprisoned Situa
tion Beaches Climax.
Health officers have grown tired ot
nerannR hrpnlcini? nuarantine and it was
decided yesterday to get out warrants 'of
arrest for offenders who refuse to ooey
the law or listen to reason. It was neces
sary for Dr. F. H. Dammasch, Deputy
Health Officer, to take an officer to juast
Portland yesterday to enforce quarantine
orders.
"There is no use trifling over this mat
ter any longer," said Dr. Dammasch.
People are not obeying the law. it is
impossible to keep them in unless we
place a policeman at their door. We do
not like to work a hardship on anyone.
No more favors or courtesies will be
extended to anyone and arrests will
follow violations of the law. We have
exhausted all peaceable means, and now.
no matter whom it hits or how hard,
quarantine regulations are going to be
enforced.
Penalty Is Severe.
"The ordinance Is very clear on the
matter and the oenaltv is a fine of $200.
or 6 to 30 days in prison, or both. I
shall urge a maximum penalty for the
first arrest. We are compelled to take
this drastic measure by the people them
selves. Although It is distasteful, we
must do something to compel people to
keep in quarantine, and warrants of ar
rest is all that is left for us.
"The present condition illustrates tbe
need of a municipal hospital for the care
of contagious diseases. Had we such an
institution every case could be taken im
mediately to the hospital and that would
do away with all breaking of quarantine.
In Philadelphia, persons are given the
choice of going to the quarantine hos
pital or having policemen stationed at
their front and rear doors every minute
in the day and night to see that they
do not get out. The latter system means
detention of the entire family, even the
dog. If funds were available most any
vacant building, or one of the old fair
ground buildings could easily be con
verted Into a hospital.
T have Just been called to attend a
case of erysipelas at 227 Whittaker street,
The woman is destitute. The county
cannot take her, we have no place to put
her. and I do not know what will be
come of her. If we had a municipal hos
pital elie could be cared for properly.

it without scarcely knowing it.
Twenty-three cases of diphtheria have
been reported so far this month as
against 22 during the month of May last
year. No more deaths other than the
two out of three cases at the Mount
Tabor school, have occurred. The school

Frank Simpson Is Convicted and
Companions Will Be Tried for
Vagrancy Today.
Three hundred and sixty days in the
County Jail was the sentence meted out
to Frank Simpson, alleged bunco and
"stick-up" man, by Judge Bennett in the
Simpson was accused of the theft of J20
from Q. Verhaegen In the Princess Hotel
last Monday night.
Charges of larceny against Fred Jones,
James Johnson and C. W. Harris, were
dismissed on motion of Assistant Enstrict
Attorney Hennessy on account of lack
of sufficient evidence. A charge of va
grancy was filed against them, and their
cases were continued until this morning
for trial. .
A vigorous attempt was made yester
day morning to have all the cases thrown
out of court on account of the state
ments made 'by the defendants to the
effect that Verhaegen, the complaining
witness, was drunk on the night in ques
tion. Jones, who said he was a hasher.
testified that he met Verhaegen Monday
evening in front of the Princess Hotel
and the latter asked him to have a drink.
He said he had never seen Verhaegen
before, and It was only after consider
able persuasion that he complied with
the request.
Patrolman Hennessy told of seeing
tSree of the defendants jostling Verhae
gen in the saloon, but thought a't that
time they were merely playing in a half
drunken manner, and so he did not Inter
fere. Verhaegen positively identified
Simpson as the one who had reached in
hi pocket and taken the $20 gold piece
therefrom. He also ldentined Harris and
Jones as the men who tried to Induce
him to play cards for money.
In passing sentence. Judge Bennett said
there was no doubt that the defendants
were professional bunco men, waiting in
the Princess Hotel bar for an oppor
tunity to "trim" some one. Verhaegen
happened to be the first victim, but he
had the good sense to call an officer
immediately after he had been "touched."
An appeal was noted, and Judge Ben
nett fixed Simpson s bond at lo00, or
J1000 cash ball. Bail for the other mem
bers of the gand was fixed at $250 each.
Interesting testimony on the manner In
which bunco-men attempt to secure money
from their victims is expectfd this morn
ing when Harris, Jones and Johnson get
their trial.

The Only Opticians in Oregon Manufacturing
in Its Entirety the Genuine Kryptok Lens
Look Out for Imitation Kryptoks!
A gentleman called at our store
yesterday and asked us how he
could tell grenuine Kryptoks from
imitation Kryptoks.
There is no line or break on
the lens.
' ' Yes, but suppose I get an imi
tation -and they' ruin my eyes,"
you say.
That is the risk everybody has
to run who insists upon getting
Kryptoks of opticians who do not
manufacture them from start to
finish.
There will be an effort made
to stop the manufacture of imi
tation Kryptoks, but the process
of law is 6low.
In the meantime be safe and
get them at some one of our
stores.
Your eyesight is entirely too
precious to take unnecessary
chances.
Beware of Substitutes and Imitation Kryptoks. It Is
Safer to Come Direct to Headquarters.

This ig tfie accepted slogan for Oregon, and
according to records of sales of farm lands made
in the last few years, investors and home
seekers show their faith in the prediction.
:A tract of 2000 acres, located most favorably
in the line of rapid development in the Willam
ette Valley, 30 miles east of Portland, 15 miles
from Gresham, is offered for sale by the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company at a lowj
price per acre on favorable terms. 4
'A. projected railroad line is to pass through1
or near this tract, a county road already furnish
ing means of entry and exit for vehicles, includ
ing automobiles.
In the wooded portion 22,000,000 feet of good
saw timber stand ready for the woodsman's ax,
and the timber at present prices would go far
toward paying for the entire tract. There is a
lumber mill within three miles in operation.
There are fully 900 acres of level or gently,
sloping farming land, available when cleared,
and-from 700 to 800 acres of fine grazing land
now waiting the farmer or dairyman.
Two good-sized creeks, with numerous tribu
taries, furnish an abundance of water. -i
The tract will be disposed of as a whole,
though a new owner could subdivide to great
advantage.
