LAFFERTY T0RUN AGAIN
Representative in Congress Is Out as
an Independent.
Though decisively beaten at the pri
mary election by C. N. McArtbur for
the Republican nomination for Repre
sentative in Congress from the Third
Oregon District, comprising Multno
mah County, A. W. LafEerty, present in
cumbent, has decided to run as an in
dependent at the general election. He
announced his candidacy yesterday.
The plurality by which McArthur de
feated Laffetxy at the primary was a
little less than 2000 votes.
By running now as an independent
candidate Mr. Lafferty has about run
the scale of possible political affilia
tions. He was first elected to Con
gress as a Republican. When the
Roosevelt wave swept over the country
he became a Progressive and. Roosevelt
supporter. After Mr. Roosevelt's de
feat he came back into the Republican
party. Defeated in the Republican
primary, he is now a candidate as an
Independent.

FIRE CAPTAIN IS INJURED
Captain May, of Company 8, Has
Ankle Broken While on Duty.
Captain F. B. May, of Engine Com
pany No. 8, had a bone broken in one
of his ankles last night, when he fell
from the attic to the second floor of a
burning dwelling house at 669 Union
avenue. He is conhned at the engine
house, 303 Russell street.
Mrs. S. Lewis, owner of the house,
commended the firemen for their work.
It was a bad start for a fire," she said,
"and they put it out more quickly than
I thought possible." The fire started
on the roof, presumably from sparks,
and worked into the attic. The dam
age was less than $200, insured.

Building: la Notable Landmark.
The California building was one of
the notable landmarks of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. It was constructed
along mission architectural lines.
Carrying out the mission idea still
further, three small belfry towers, each
containing a chime bell, were on the
front end of the building, facing due
east. As the walls fell, the tumbling
chimes tolled as they dropped .to the
ground.
The building flamed like a tinder
box. Built of stucco and lath, it blazed
with a crackle and a road to be heard
many blocks.
Embers from the burning building
were carried as far as half a mile in
many instances.
Firemen declared that the absence of
a high wind saved much of Willamette
Heights from destruction by fire.
The California building was of no
great value, except for what it might
yield the wreckers. It belonged to
Frederick H. Strong, manager of the
Ladd Estate Company.

A big hole was Durned in the roof,

Pillar of Sparks Spectaeular.
At 1 o'clock the blazing California
State building presented a remarkable
spectacle. A great pillar of sparks,
swept high in the air In the tremendous
draught created by the flames, was
visible all over the city.
Thousands of persons viewed the
sight from windows and sidewalks.
though few knew just where the fire
was. Many thought tuat the whole of
Willamette Heights was ablaze.
Though the California building was
totally destroyed, the monetary damage
done by the fire amounts to almost
nothing. The structure was unoccu

ings, it had been marked for demoli

the public School, City Superintendent
C. H. Boyd expressed the opinion that
the plan has proved a success. It

DO YOU NEED BUILDING UP?
There are conditions of ill health in
which no one particular organ appears
to be at fault, yet the patient is miser
able and unable to pursue the activities
of daily life with vigor and enjoyment.
Sometimes the cause is attributed to the
imagination but the patient knows that
the debility is real.
The remedy evidently is a medicine
that will benefit the whole system
rather than a part. The blood reaches
everywhere and an Improvement in its
quality is quickly followed by an im
provement in the whole organism. Dr
Williams' Pink Pills make a visible Im
provement In the condition of the blood.
The microscope will verify this Im
provement but the patient can see It in
the mirror as shown by increased color
in cheeks and Hps and added brightness
of the eyes. There will also be a new
elasticity in the step. These things
record an improved tone in the body
and if this tonic treatment is persisted
in for a reasonable length of time, de
pending upon the degree of debility, the
condition of ill health will be removed
Those who are interested may obtain
the pamphlet "Building Up the Blood"
