The result of the prohibition Vote In this county, by which the county was voted dry, has developed one of the most novel Fourth of July celebrations ever witnessed In eastern Oregon.

Morrow, Umatilla and Union counties, through, which the , Oregon Railroad & Navigation company runs, the district attorneys of these "dry'1 counties are now making arrangements to enforce the law to the letter, and one of the fJrst tasks of the district at torneys df these counties will be to no tify the Oretron Railroad & Navigation company that the sale of liquor on din ing cars through this prohibition ter ritory will be stopped on July l. From Deschutes, on the border- of Sherman and Wasco counties, to North Powder, on the Una between Union and Baker counties, a distance of 233 miles, Ore gon Railroad & Navigation company trains run through dry territory and for that entire distance It will be im possible to secure intoxicants, either on the trains or tn any of the towns along the railroad, after July 1. Forty nine saloons will be abolished on July 1, in thla 283 miles of dry territory, as follows: Arlington, S; Umatilla, i Hermiston, 1; Echo, 8; Pendleton J5 Ia Grande, 11; HUgard, S; North Pow der, 1. . . : . rendleton Has Cash oa Band. The city council has had numerous measures for raising revenue to take the place of liquor licenses, under con sideration, but as the city has mora cash on hand than ever before In its history, it Is doubtful If any emergency measure will be needed.' Although the sum of $23,400 In licenses was due on June 1, thla sum has been entirely cut off except for the month of JunA and for a, few day; the council was In a highly agitated state as to what should be done to meet the city ex penses. However, a large sum is on hand, and expenses will be cut down somewhat, and It is believed that thus tn cU? can run for tha next year without any emergency tax meaure. Property owners are cooperating with -iM.S??nen J mMt the vew condition without embarrassment and no trouble la anticipated as a result of prohibition The city would have collected 300 each from fS saloons this year.

The teamsters have walked out. They claim that Johnston knew tha Seattle contractor was run ning on the open shop plan and that they wera obliged to follow instructions. This company was tbe only one that would sign contracts- with the floatfi. contractor, on account of the open shop. Johnston says he will fight to tbe end.

That cement and concrete are des tined to supplant to a large extent stone, terra cotta, marble and other materials now used for decorative purposes is the opinion often expressed right re cently by the most progressive and up-to-date architects and builders. There are a number of controlling reasons for this, the most important of which is the element of economy. Not only la cement cheaper than any of the ma terials now used in house decoration, but it is more easily handled and ad mits of a wider range in artistic de sign. As an artistic medium concrete is quite as good as terra cotta and much superior to either stone or marble. Considering Us greater economy, it may be employed in many cases where the cost or cut stone wouia oe pronioi tlve and terra cotta unsuitable. Within the past year or two concrete haa been used for a large number of decorative and semi-decorative pur poses, where it was formerly thought that eitner marble or stone alone could be employed. Its modern use not only embraces statuary, garden furniture, fountains and urns, but ornamental walls, bridges and balustrades; in fact, entire country estates in parts of the United States, so far as buildings and structural features are concerned, from the massive dwelling to the least of objects intended to ornament a garaen, or lawn. Concerning artistic designs In con crete, there is no limit to the achieve ments of a resourceful worker. If the worker In concrete decoration is of the school that clingsi only to the master pieces of the old world, and rejects with contempt all alhat la modern and orig inal, the plaster mold will furnish him with an almost exact reproduction of designs wrought by hand. The most intricate and elaborate patterns, which may have Involved months or years of toll on the part of their creator, may be duplicated in concrete in a few days. Considering the extreme durability of concrete In connection with the low cost of production, one Is impressed with the very great future awaiting it in the field of decorative work. ESTABLISH PARK Oil PART SPOKANE BLOCK Insurance Company Will Erect Structure on Three Sides of Fountain. The Western Union Life Insurance company 1s planning something entirely new in the way of an offloe building to be put up on a valuable site in the heart of Spokane. Tha distinguishing feature of the structure is a small park, which will be surrounded on three sides by wings of the building and through which the main entrance to tha struc ture la reached. Another Interesting, feature connect ed with the plans of the proposed im provement is tne raci mat wnue me building is ultimately to cover the greater part of a quarter block it is to be put up In sections of 66 by 60 and will probably require two years to com plete all three of the sections. In tha center oi tne para win oe a iouniain. and the walks leading to the entrance will enter the park at the corner of the street and encircle the fountain. The main entrance to the structure will be In tha corner, where the wings meet The novelty of this plan lies in the fact that the promoters of the enter prise are convinced that it will be a profitable venture to devote one fourth of the ground space for an office build lng, ln.a high-priced district to park purposes. ' ' - LOTS OF TROUBLE FOE LIEUTENANT HERMAN (Special Dtapatcb to The Journal.) Spokane, Wash., June 4. Because he stayed away from his post courting the girl he loved. First Lieutenant Charles FY Herman, stationed at Fort Wright, will be brought before a courtmartial. Herman has been away on similar ab sences twice before, but thta time drunkenness is charged along with the spooning episode, and striking a fellow officer besides. He came Into the 6f fl eers' quarters at the fort and began pounding him. This led to his arrest, and it . was found that he was intoxi cated: Herman la a society favorite. He never - graduated from West Point, but rose from the ranks, took the ex amination for a commission and passed. ..- " " ' a ' ' !

UPPEBS AEE GEADES MOST CALLED FOR Great Britain Bays Largo Quantities of Fine Ship 8 para and Decking and Orders Are Expected to In crease Because of End of Strike. There appears to be -very little change In the lumber situation. Prices are the same as last week and dealers are not in a position to report much cf an im provement in the demand. Business has been somewhat disrupted by the festi val of roses and for that reason It Is difficult to form much of an opinion aa to the real condition. It Is reported In some quarters that rail orders are showing an improve ment, especially for upper grades. No orders of startling magnitude have been received, however. Foreign business keeps up very well and but for that fact the position of the lumber manufactur ers m this part of the world would have been in a bad way since the railroads declared their advanced freight rate into territories east of the Rockies. England Is buying large quantities of high-grade spars and decking and It is believed that there will be an even larger demand for that class of ma terial In the Immediate future, because the shipyards there have just resumed operations after a long ahutdown on ac count of labor troubles. Fir logs remain low, while hemlock and Spruce are demanding big prices from the paper manufacturers. In years . past spruce and hemlock timber were a drug on the market and now they are worth more than yellow fir. Camps having spruce or hemlock timber are devoting their attention to It, now that fir does not command more than from $6.60 to 19 per thousand feet. The shingle market remains quiet, but none of the mills In this district has closed down nor curtailed the ouv put.

COHCRETEWALt PROVES BARRIER TO FLAMES - SnwasaaaSBaaasasaaaBBBSJBaaaaaaaSSB New York Fire Exemplifies What Modern Construc tion Will Accomplish. . A most important point in connection with concrete construction is brought out by Cement Age In an interesting ar tide on the fireproof qualities of con- creie, mi snows mat concrete is not only fireproof in itself but it will as well, serve as a barrier to a spreading fire. How to confine a fire to a single building or even a department or floor naa often a prooiem airricult to solve. It led to the introduction of the auto mata sprinkler and other devices which nave au tailed at times. Tha record-; of concrete. In this re spect, is interesting. In the case of tne iluyier candy factory in New York, a - reenrorcea concrete Minaing, tne iames were conrmed to the zioor on which the fire started. Two months later a fire started in the four-story Duuamg oi tne uaj ton Motor tjar com pany, at Dayton, Ohio, a six-story con crete structure. Immediately adjoining was a brick and timber factory of the same company. The floor contained the upholstering and final assembling departments. Its contents were entirely destroyed. The fire communicated Into the brick build lnfe adjoining. The two upper stories of this building were entirely destroyed by fire. The sashes of the concrete build ing were badly oumed, about one third of them being destroyed. The fire communicated Itself to ,a slight extent to the fifth floor, but did very little damage . to the contents of the fifth floor. The floor of the fourth atory was burned to such an extent that at least half of It. will have to ha.relald. Some of the steam heating piper were bent and twisted so that they will have to be Tap laced. v The damage to tbe building, however, amounts to little or nothing. The be havior of this concrete building Is an other striking example of the value of concrete as a fireproof material. - The adjoining building. It is . aald, was equipped with sprinklers in "good work ing order, but the failed of their pur pose. In the concrete building, as in the Huyler building, tha fire was prac tlcaltv confined to i the floor on which It originated, though the contents of that floor were consumed by a fierce fire. : A'' - -..- V. . v '- ej I,, - .-ij ;r -- -L ( fVv-- Suit" to Break Caldwell Will.
