Business Portion and Great Saw Mill Destroyed, Loss $350,000. Asiilakd, Or., Oct. 14. The most de structive fire iu the history of Northern California visited the town of Klani- athon, at the crossing of tho Klamath river, Siskiyou county, in the early hours of this morning, and wiped chit the entire business portion of the place, the large saw mill, sash, door and box factory, and over 5,000,000 feet of eawed sugar pine lumber belonging to the mill of John K. Cook & Son, and operated under a lease by lUrvey Liudiey & Co,, and did damage to an estimated amount of $350,000. The Southern Pacific company's sta tion, freighthouses, roll.ng stock and sidetracks were also destroyed. Owing to the burning of the station and the interruption of telegraphic facilities, de tails have been difficult te obtain, and the only ' communication has len through an operator who cut in on the wires a quarter of a mile north of the scene of the disaster. Most of the dwelling houses of the town, which were situated on an eleva tion, are saved, as well as one hotel on a back street. A private car which was on the railroad tracks, and that brought a number of capitalists out a lew oays ago to inspect the building operations ( the Klamath Lake railroad, was rushed down the track on fire, ami the contents and the occupants were saved. The conflagration started in the saw mill of John R. Cook & Sons, which has been under lease and operated by Messrs. Lindley & Mason for the pa.-t few years. The mill plant was the largest except one in Northern Califor nia, and the industry gve employment to hundreds of people. The property bad been recently sold at a considera tion of $.500,000 by the Cooks to D. C. PeXton, of the firm of Pel ton, Armstrong & Co., of Portland, who acquired a three-fourtlis interest in it as well as 22,000 acres of the most valuable sugar and yellow pine lands in the country. The amount of timber tributary to the mill was estimated at upwards of 5,000, 000 foeU The fire interrupted freight and pas senger traffic on the Southern Pacilc company's lines, and passeaers on the north, and south-bound trains were transferred. It ia Jiclieved that the track will be repaired and railroad t -attic resumed by noon today. The blaze was visible over the whole country within a radius of over SO miles. Qlendale Items. Mrs. W. C.

After five hours of the hardest kind of work the progress of the flames was arrested and further danger averted. MUST BUILD ROAD TO THE COAST Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Must Have Pacific OutletMay be Behind the Coos Bay, Salt Lake Railroad Chicago, Oct. 15.-At the annual meeM ing at Alton last week it was decided to make closer the connection between that road and the other Ha-man roads. It is not h.'rd to read between :he line.iof this It lecomes more and more apparent that the jiotition of St. Paul is threat ened more and moro by loth competi tion and discrimination. Therefore, the first two conditions that will compel St. Paul to build to the roast are manifestly present in the situation. v Oriental trade is also without ques tion becoming more important. Next year Mr. Hill wdl nearly double the capacity of his Pacific fleet, and the Canadian Pacilic hai increased the Chine$e-JdHtuee fleet this year, and is still buildiiig. During the year That exports of the United Mates at iurxe showed a great falling off the exports from the Pacific j.rts to China bhowed a remarkable gain. t'vis!ise trat'ic, too, has made it potihle for the Pacific J Coast to pay dividends on three classes of stock, and has, it is understood, made it worth the while of the Northern Securities to seek control of that com any,eveu at the expense of a guarantee of 6 per cent dividends ou the common itoek. This traffic is also eagerly songht by the Canadian Pacific as far south as Sun Francisco. That Pacific trade at large is worth seeking needs little further demonstration. Mr. Harrinian is authority for the statement that tlie Oregon Short Line business is responsible for the gain of the Union Pacific this year, in spite of the increasing competition of the North :rn Pacific. TheOregon Short Liue traverses ' ON THE TIMBER Southern Oregon People Complain to the Land Office that Mineral Lands are Entered Under the Timber and Stone Act Wasbisgtox, Oct. 13. The General Land Office is receiving many com plaints frcm citizeus of Soath western Oregon alleging that cruisers, represent ing Wisconsin and Minnesota liim!er companies, a""e entering large tracts oi laud in that vicinity under the timber and stone act, when the lands, the complainants assert, are mineral in character. The complainants ask that the lands be withdrawn from eutiy ex cept under the mineral land Laws. In every case, however, they fail to sjweify the t.-acts which are alleged to be mine al. Upon these general com plaints the department cannot act, as it would not be justified in making sweep ing withd awls when possibly only KINO TOASTS ROOSEVELT. Edward VII Enter alned Americans at a Luncheon. Losdos, Oct. 14. Ambassa lor Choate and Generals Corbin, Wood and Young were the guests of King Edward at a luncheon at Buckingham Palace today in honor of Lord Kiu heuer, prior to the latter's departure for India, whre he is to take command of the British forces. Lork Roberta also was the guest of the King General Corbin delivered to the King a message from President Roosevelt, ex pressing the Iiojhs that the King would lend his assistance in creating interest in the St. Louis Exposition.

At the conclusion of a rather elaberate lunch eon, His Majesty arose and proposed the health of President Roosevelt. The King spoke. in most admiring terms of the President, and expressed his del'ght at seeing such distinguished Americans present. Before any other toast could bo pro posed, II is Majesty announced an ad journment to the smoking room, "where he had a long talk with General Corbin, General Young and Ocneral Wood, and personally expressed to them his glad ness to see them in England, "becaiu.e;" he said, "I feel we are not only friends, but relatives."

Repairing a specialty the country that would of necessity I cut through by any coast line of St. Paul. The line now projected from Salt Lake to Coos Bay runs through the richest of tho lumlier and mineral binds from which the Union Pacific has drawn this traffic that has kept its earning up in spite of disadvantage. No m rely Iu the country already developed iiuffi cieht to justify a line through the Coast ranges, but all tilings point to a still further development as the region i opened. No one imagined the ixaet district and the Rockies as the salvation of the central Harrinian lines nntil the lines of the system had actually been run through. It would apear, therefore, that very condition that would drive ?U Paul into building a ?roast line is ictnally prefect. If St. Paul is to save itself from becom ing a mere local line in the corn and wheat country, a new Pacific connect! n is inevitable. If the reHnrcf of the mountain and coast country are t be develoJ and made paving to any road, there is no road better fitted-tn th j task tlian ia St. Paul. If St. Tat-.l doei not build to the coast, the rapidly detdop ing tratSc of the Orient and cat will reach Chicago over t' e Hues o.' the Northern Securities and Ilarriinan rads, except what rt is turned orr to St. Paul and Northwestern f.ir the sake of return traffic and friendly rela tionship. For th.e reaous St. Paul will build to the coast. It is not -J"ir.g too far to Kiy that St. Paul is aleady prearintf to build through between Salt Lake and li.e cat, though the under taking is being handled by deputy.

There has been some delay in getting the present Indian War Veteran;' pen sions started but now it is given out that the payment will begin sometime in December. The amount each vete ran will get is t S a month from June 27, l'.0. It will be a survival and cot a disability pension, and will be awarded to officers and eulisted men, who were in the service, or to their widows ; pro vided, that such widows have not re married. Aboui 1500 claims have been filed in tho Pension Office at Washing ton. About 60 veterans of the Cay use War cf 1S47-3 are still living. Most of these survivors are in Washington. One has been heurd f."om in Florida and another in Missouri. Since the organi cation of the veterans, proofs of service has beei acjuired, which would other wise have lcen difficult to obtain. The act of the last Congress granting the pensions was an extension of the nieas t r r which gve pens-ions' to survivors of the Black Hawk, Creek, Cherokee and Seminole Wars. Is an attribute of manhood universally desired. Few people understand that the only source of physical strength is food, snd that every one who has sufficient nourishing food should be -strong. But there are thousands of punr people who feave plenty of good food. ' How is that explained? The explanation is simple. Food does not nour ish the body un 1 e s s digested and assimilat ed. Diseases of the stomach and other or gans of diges tion and nutri tion kinder the proper diges tion and assimi lation of the nutrition con tained in the food eaten. Thus the strength of food is lost, wa$ted. Dr. Pierce's Golden Meilic.il Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and its al lied organs. It causes the perfect dljje. tion and assimilation of food and thus it makes men and women strong, "t hod brtn MiflVrinp; from in.lipr.tion so tartly t tint I could not nork men lliau lull' the iitnc', but uowenn work rm day and e.tt any tlii m I wmit." wrilcn Mr. Victor L.
