BOARD OF TRADE BUILDING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE (United Ptms Leased Wire. Chicago, July 11. Today was the hottest day but one In the history Of Chicago. Tonight the clty'B 2. 000,000 Inhabitants were exhausted and the mercury still hovered about the 90 mark. In the government weather bureau, 200 feet above the street level, the thermometer registered 98 degrees at 4 o'clock this after noon and at the same time Btreet thermometers showed from 101 to 108. Tonight the city health department, making up the record of the day, oount ed four adults dead and more than 60 in hospitals prostrated by Uie scorching- rays of the sun. A doten of these are In dangerous condition. Ia addition, health officials declare a great mnnv Infants have perished as tbs direct result of the heat Heat Climbs Rapidly. ThS hot wave began at 6 o'clock this morning, the thermometer rising by until i a - m mwA iim , 7i H m ti 1 l nay reached an official record of 9fi at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Simultaneously - instruments which were, placed against telephone coles and the top of down town buildings, registered 108 and ll)9 degrees. All day long the winds frorrvthe'south west brought increasing heat and de pression. Lake Michigan was still and hot and raflocted the sun's rays llko a mirror. The heat was reflected lrom the walls of the high buildings into down-town .streets and became so In tense that pedestrians gasped for relief. This evening thousands gougnt escape by taking excursion steamers for mid lake, and the parks were packed almost to suffocation. Beat Drives Man Craiy. Albert Gruner, a heat-orasied butcher, tried to kill his entire family. He fa tally wounded his niece, Florence Gru ner, aged 16 years, and then committed suicide. Robert Mahrling, 61 years of age, fell dead from heat exhaustion while eating. Josephine Gango. 14 vears old, expired from intestinal irou iile due to heat. Andrew Boles. 47 years old, also succumbled.

The most magnificent building of reinforced concrete of which Portland can boast Is the new Beard of Trade structure at Fourth and Oak. The building is receiving its finishing touches this week, and scores of ten ants are moving into the quarters that they have been looking forward to for months. The VmihUns Is absolutely fire-proof, there liolnK nothing com bustlblo used In construction except the interior finishings. The Interior arrangement Is commensurate with the handsome and stately exterior. The tiling, comprising thousands of square is i 44)4y44)444 0TSCE Visible Gear-Driven Enduring REiOVAL t feet of floor space, was finished In the remarkably short period of 17 days by Fred Wagner. The conduit work, switch boards, and all interior wiring was done bv the Comet Electrlo com pany, wao have the best equipped establishment for this class of work in the .Northwest. The v entilating and heating apparatus was installed by the V. G. McPhrrson Co., who have equipped most of the new office build ings of the city. The first tenants to occupy offices In the "building were the grain and stock brokers, Overbeck & Cooke Co., whose spacious offices are located on the second floor. Other beautiful offices now occunled are those of the Cornptograph Co., of which Mr. Hackett Is the local mana ger. Although, located In the city but a short time the business of the Cornptograph agency has outgrown Its original quarters and secured its pres ent offices, comprising two suites In this new building. This building has" proved a revelation to the pioneer Ore- j gonlan, and it is predicted that many I others of like construction will be erected In the very near future. t (The Cosnpto graph Tba following communication, with all the earmarks of an Inspiration, was re ' celvad late last evening by The Journal.

Would It not have shown more good Judgment and solicitude for the city's j welfare if he had dropped the Nottlng-, ham case when he had shown the coun- j oil their mistake and they promised to be good in the future? It is not likely they would have re-1 fieated the offense and in all probabil- j ties that building would have stuod ' without endangering the city; whereas, I : he Is endangering the city with a hlg law suit, with his desire for publicity. .
