A pioneer monument that has been reverently preserved by tha children of its founders paased from existence early yesterday morning- when fire de stroyed tha old Clinton Kelly School. standing at the rear of the more mod ern building- of that name at East Twenty-sixth and Powell streets. Dep redations of boys or tramps are sup posed to have started tha fire, which waa detected at 4 o'clock by a watch man In the tower at the East Stark street station. Though hose companies responded quickly, the old building burned rap- Idly and the attention ef the firemen was turned to saving tha new school building, which began to scorch from ths nearness of the flames. It was saved without material damage, while its predecessor burned to the ground. The loss, except about 1600 to the new building, is entirely sentimental, aa ths old school haa been a pensioner ever since It waa superseded hjr tha new. By the destruction of tha old school' house, there xiaaaed ona of the historic relics of the state and especially of Multnomah County. It waa built where the present modern school stands on an acre donated by Clinton Kelly for tha purpose in 1S5. In early sixties it was the center of social and educational In terest for that district. All tha meet lngs. social and otherwise, were held In tha schoolhouse. Spelling matches were held In the old building. I deeply regret the destruction of ths old landmark." said Dr. Richmond Kelly, son of Clinton Kelly, after whom the building was named, "for it was hallowed by sacred memories of many people. It was built, as nearly as I can recall. In 159 or 1S60. When built It was surrounded by a forest. Miss Sarah Kelly, afterwards Mrs. John Kern, was the first teachVr. She was followed by John Dolan and others. Elward Long. 6eldon Murray and Wash Allen were members of the board of directors. Many of the early residents received their educations In the old building-." The building was owned by Dr. Klch mood Kelly, who had undertaken to keep it from destruction. It waa moved to ona side when tha modern school house took Its place. DEMENTED MAN MISSING Charles Thompson, of Cheyenne, Wanders From East Side Home. We Have.

There was Bo lack of confidence n the part of the people who were left: there was no lack of civic pride, but It was found that under the old form they could not take np and command the work that bad to be dona. It waa a time when re sponsibility was a factor and under the old system this coald not be fixed. The mayor and council resigned and many of them went to the Legislature f the State of Texas where tney ap plied for a commission of nv men. three of whom were to be appointed by the Governor.

Culver Junction Is to be the north ern terminus of the Joint trackage of the Oregon Trunk Railway and the Deschutes line of the O.-W. R. & N.

South of Culver to Bend both lines wilt operate over a single track. The rails already have been laid to the north bank of the Crooked River and work on the bridge across that stream Is In progress.

Hill, whose genius was responsible for building the Ore gon Trunk, take part in the ceremonies and will arrange for him to drive a golden spike to mark tha completion of th line if he consents to be present.
