Vancouver, B. C, July 22. A serious
' lire broka oat about midnight in th
, penitentiary at New Westminster, des
troying completely the paint and turning
shops. There waronly a gentle breeze,
not sufficient to fan the flames, so
that the city's fire brigade easily con-
. fined the fire to the building destroyed.
The'maln part of the institution was
never- in danger, though the 233 con
vlcts Incarcerated therein seized the
opportunity to make night hideous with
their clamorings. Imploring their jailer
not to leave them-a prey to the flames
and beseeching liberty. The eauas of
the fire is not, known, but incendiarism
Is suqpeoted. . ,
- The building destroyed was a two
story structure "of brick and tbe .value
is estimated at. $20.000. ..-. ' v ,
BEIiSOII OUT FOR
STATE SECRETARY
' While in Portland last night Gover
. nor Benson reiterated what he baa told
his friends for some time past, that ho
. will not be a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for governor next year.
He is in the field for secretary of state,
be says, and for that alone.
"When the Republican party honored
me with the nomination , for secretary
V of state In 1906, and when I was subj
. sequently elected to this position, said
the governor, "It was fair to assume
that in the ordinary couree ef events
I would be a candidate lor reelection
and - would not use the office a . a
- tannine atona to the . arovernorshiD.
never was a candidate for governor In
any sense of the word."
The state of Governor Benson accords
with nrd let Ions made bv The Journal
for months. In asking for four years
more as secretary of state be will be
. doing only the usual thing, and while be
fnjtv nnt Annan nnnoiittlon. he exnecta in
y victory. - The early announcement
of Ms intentions is regarded by his
-v-r friends -a a-fine-strike as It disarm
others who might have-strayed Into
" the same field under the-claim that they
. believed Benson would im tor toe gov
mot-shin. -
r Governor "Benon1eft " "Portlaftd last
night for California, where he will spend
a short vacation. In his statement be
'1 aball be a, candidate for renomlna-
tlon and election as secretary of state.
I have fully determined upon this course
'and a hall go before the -voters upon my
record, asking for renewed expressions
of their confidence in me as a nubile
servant I shall not be a candidate for
, governor, for it is my ambition to oc-
"for two terms and. to make a record
. that will be satisfactory, to . my constl-
. .. A .... . . ..-.. If. n
friends in different parts of the state
have Importuned me to become a can
didate for governor next year, and while
; I appreciate their Kind orrers oi support,
1 prefer to be a candidate for the sec-

By a H. Baker of CaUf ornla Entire Stock
To Be Sacrificed at Cost of Manufacture
To rapidly increase the volume of our California business and so further strength
en our shoe-buying ability, we have decided to enter Portland.- We bought the
stock, fixtures and lease of the "Crawford" because although one of the newest
shoe stores in the city the location is already one of the best known, and the
.entire stock is made up of the latest and most approved shapes, designs and pat
terns in shoes for men and women. We will install complete assortments of our
own -shoe just asv soon as weJiave disposed of the present stock.
"CRAWFORD S" are famous as the best shoes sold in the
world at their prices; but no one factory is comprehensive
enough to supply the great range of shoe grades demanded
by the Baker business ; it requires the best efforts of 10 of the:
leading shoe manufacturers m the country to do that.
y
The following reduction .art bona fide, based on the prices which
were tamped on the shoes at the Crawford factory long before the
present gale was contemplated.
