All over the burned district where formerly stood residences or small buildings of one to three stories, there have arisen splendid structures of steel and stone from three to ten stories In height. Many of these new buildings are designed for apartment houses and hotels. The picture of the Fairmont hotel, which Is shown herewith gives a splen did Idea of the character nnd style of the leading hotels of San Francisco. 8ltuated In a most commanding posi tion, its classic outlines greet the eye ns soon ns the ferry boat leaves the Oakland slip. The Fairmont was Just ready to open for business when the catastrophe oc curred. Although everything In the way of furniture and fittings was de strovuU, tho building itself was struct urally uninjured. The work of recon structing nnd refitting the interior was commenced almost Immediately nnd ex actly one year from the day of the fire, a portion of the Fairmont was opened to the publio with a banquet by the Merchants' association. The building is now entirely finished.

Besides being the most superbly sit uated hotel in the world, the Fairmont hna several features which are abso lutely unique. Among these may be mentioned the fact that there is not an Inside room in the house. Every room has its attached bath. From the tunnel entrance on Powel' upper floors.

He said he had been robbed on the train and asked to have a check for $50 cashed. Mr. Har ris told Heler he would wire to Los Angeles and if the lodge there would guarantee the check he would pay It. Heller then told Mr. Harris not to bother as he knew Phil Metschan at the Imperial hotel and would get the check cashed there. He then visited the Im perial and asked Mr. Metschan to cash a check for $60, saying Mr. Harris of the rjika club had sent him to the Imperial. and Metschan met K. K. Kubli, who as Esquiio of the Elks lodge considered It his duty to take off the Elks button which the forger was wearing. As they came In sight of Heller he recognized the two men whom he had tried to bunko and started to run. It was then that Kubli made his reo ord sprint. Heller is a 19-year-old ath lete and must have represented his college in the sprints, but "Cap" Kubli oung criminal was overhauled by j and can "run some" vet.

ELECTRIC BRASS BAND ATTRACTS WIDESPREAD ATTENTION SUICIOES ill HIE DALLES Disappointment in Love Is Supposed to Have Caused John Pane's Act. :. cw-: ;vt . i . H'r: (Spelnl Dlpatcn to Th Journal.) The Dalles, Or.. July 25. The body of John Page, a young man, was found at the edgo of the pines on D street abou 1 o clock this afternoon with a bullet hole just below the left breast. It was evidently a case of suicide caused by brooding over his love troubles with woman. The deed was done with a .3S caliber Iver-Johnson revolver. It wus round iving near the body with two snens empty. Uvirtently it was premeditated and carefully planned, as the revolver was purchased together with six cartridges irom a local seeona-nanj dealer vester day afternoon. Una of the shells was probably used in testing the gun and cartridges. rage was seen going toward toe snot wnere the ooay was rouna late yester day afternoon and people in the vicin ity claim to have heard a pistol shot about 9 p. m. As the place where the body was found is secluded the suicide was not discovered until today at noon. In the pocketB were found a number r letters ana pnotograrns nnd 30 cents in money. The body was well dressed in a dark striped suit. The relatives or the deceased are supposed to live near Kini;sle" where they operate a sawmill, hut the coro- er so far has been unaDle to get In touch with them. The body Is now at the undertaking parlor awaiting the In structions of relatives. The coroner decided an Inquest was unnecessary as it was a case or suicide. ISP' J h I lit. ft..' IJlIll II .1 I kL.Il t ; .. w 1 ' w Vr EX.ECTKIO BRASS BAITS AS IT APPEASED ON THE OAS OH WASXXHQ- TOXT BTBEET By far the most attractive aa well as unique advertisement which ha been seen in Portland for some time was the Electric Brass Band, which was used to announce the Carmen's Picnic, held at The Oaks, July 23. The use of this splendid instrument was donated for the occasion by Eilers Piano House, the sole Pacific coast dealers in such instruments. It was Dlaced on one of the flatcars of the streetcar system, and toured Portland Wednesday and Thursday. During this time thousand of people were completely deceived thinking there was a real band touring the city, so much like a large band did it sound, and on several occasions the police had to disperse the crowds whiclrgathered when the car stopped in the street. This uniaue and interesting Instrument is manufactured by the Wurlitxer Co. of Cincinnati and Chicago, and sold exclusively on the coast by Eilera Piano House. They are manufactured in many different sizes and styles, and are probably the most popular music producers for skating rinks, moving picture shows and like entertainments on the market, and are rapidly coming into general use for such purposes. Instruments can be installed to suit the size of any hall, from the largest to the smallest. The House of Eilers is also the sole coast representative for a number of other Electric Instruments of different makes such as Orchestrions, Electric Pianos, etc. a large and complete stock of which is constantly kept in their warerooms to supply the ever-increasing demand for such music.

Out of the "volup tuous east" has Just come the most re markable example of self-sacrlflce and religious devotion of recent years. The history of Prince Prlstang Choomung of the royal house of 61am is one that will make the wealthy and fashionable of all the capitals of the world begin to minK. This prince, whose ancestry runs back to the dim ages, has renounced all earthly luxuries and become a Budd hist priest. Sent some years ago by tho king of Slam, his near kinsman, to England to study engineering, archl teclure and coast defense, the prince was received with so great honor b iving r.awara ana nu most uisiin gulshed subjects that he was made en voy extraordinary and minister pleni potentlary to the court of St. James. Thanks to tho brilliance of the prince's mind and his oriental astuteness. shone as a diplomat and represented his sovereign at almost every capital of i.urope In turn. lielurning home the princo visited lohlo. where tlui mlKadi conferred on him the most distinguished ! urrter or the Klslnc Sun. This was the climax of the prince's career. He who had an inexhaustible purse to draw trom, whose Jewels had dazzled empresses, who had been a wel come guest at palaces and at tiie villas or sovereigns, who had been of roval parties at race courses and opera- houses, wrote to his king humbly heg- Kiiig tor permission to retire from the woi-M.
