S. C. Beach, senator from Mult
nomah county, foresworn foe of
Jonathan Bourne, political antagon
ist of William M. and H. M. Cake,
rrophet of the anti-Statement No. 1
propaganda and who is bound by the
builds of bread and salt to the camp
of Charles W. Fulton, is to be chair
man of the Republican state central
committee.
William M. Cako Is down and out,
according to the way thegame Is being
played, and the cards are being stacked
to "o.n" - him and "rattan" Mr. Beach.
The 6fm of harmony are to be fostered
and maintained within the ranks or the
Republican party even If, like a col
lege of good surgeons. It Is necessary
for the state committee to amputate
Chairman Cake nnd graft on a new head
In the form of Senator Beach.
It Is all cooked up now. The cook
ing up process has been going on for
nm time and so auietly has the opera
tion been conducted and so evenly has
the water been heated that Chairman
Cake now traveling In the east, does

time of the late state convention, when
Senator Bourne was turned down and
flattened out and Senator Fulton 'Vns
elevated to the leadership of the Ore

placed In cold storage and his brother,

It is understood that Sands was on
his way from Deauvllle to Paris and

the chauffeur tried to take at too hlph
a rate of speed.
Both Sands and the chauffeur were

There Is not a frame building
standing this morning on the blocks
bounded by Fourth and Sixth and
Flanders and Hoyt streets. The fire
that started In the Overland stablos
at Fifth and Hoyt late yesterday af
ternoon wiped nearly half a hundred
firms, big and little, out of existence,
made a score of families homeless
and swept the district Immediately
south of the T'nlon depot as clean as
a Kansas prairie.-
Off to the left, the big building of
the Union Meat company marks the
eastern boundary of the burned district.
Looking south from Hoyt street, two
walls of the Barr hotel, which stood on
the aoutheast corner of Sixth and Gllsan
streets, are the only features of the
landscape above the burned timbers and
scorched store fronts until you get to
the fireproof buildings across Flanders
street. Between the I'nlon Meat com
pany's building ami Flanders street
there is only the five-story struoturo
of the Oregon Casket ' mpany, on the
northwest corner of Fifth and Gllnan
streets.
Origin or Tire Unknown.
Although there Is nothing definite
yet as to the origin of the fire beyond
that It started In tho hayloft of the
Overland stables, the cause for Its
spreading can undoubtedly be laid at
the doors of the light company w hone
overhead wires, forming a thick net
work throughout the wholesale district,
made It almost Impossible for the fire
department to keep the strong north
wind from carrying the flames over the
entire north end The poles burned off
soon after the fire started, throwing a
tangle of live power and trolley wires
Into the street, cutting off the hydrants
and preventing the engines from get
ting ot work effectively until the power
was shut off.
The danger of meeting instar.t death
In tho streets from the wires and the
small number of hvdrunts at the dls
Iwisal of the fire department, necessitat
ing the laying of hose frvr four or five
blocks delayed the department and re

She had obeyed the order from the

"I'm outside here at Oration and your

"As for the lalv who ran crying to the

Through an unfortunate clause, the
one weak point in the laws framed
by the interstate commerce commis
sion, the connecting steamship lines
of the Hill, Harriman and Santa Fe
systems will probably be offered for
sale soon after November 1, and all,
Pacific business for and from th
Orient will have to be carried in for
eign bottoms. '
Notices were sent from Chicago
today by the railroad lines that on
and after November 1 they will go
out of the export trade with China,
Japan. New Zealand and Australia.
The Canadian Pacific railroad also
sent out similar notices to American
shippers. The ruling was made be
cause of the interstate law that 30
days' notice must be given the com
mission of any change of tariff on
goods in transit via Pacific Coast
ports.
This ruling is alleged to be entirely
in favor of foreign steamship lines,
which can "undercut" the American
companies without giving notice and
the latter could not meet the cut in
time, owing to the 30-day clause, to
get the business.
The ruling of the lines centering at
Chicago, which represent the Great
Northern, t'nlon Pacific, Canadian Pa
cific. Oregon Short Line and Santa Fe,
means that the Suez canal route wll
get all of the Asiatic trade that has
been going through Pacific ports. This
will leave the Japanese steamship lined
In control of Pacific-Asiatic trade.
The Chicago advices are that the Port
land and Astatic steamship llnea out of
Portland the Northern Pacific Steam
ship line out of Seattle, the Pacific Mall
Steamship company out of San Fran
cisco nnd the Santa Fe steamers out of
Port Snn Pedro will be offered for sale.
What the Canadian Pacific will do ts
conjecture. That companv has been
handling a deal of American goods via
Vancouver. B. C, but will be In the
same ;ositlon as the American lines as
tt must conform to American laws
when handling freight to and from the
fnited States.
The rallroals claim that the trade of
the orient amounts to I2RO.000.000 an
nually, a great part of which Is crude
oil. raw cotton, wheat and flour. The
Chicago dispatches .iy that the notice
sent out today reads that the llnea
can not attempt to hold this vast traf
fic under the 80 day Interstate ruling
and that unless the can make rates,
overnight If necessary, to meet the
situations that nrls" In the business of
