Mariorie Campbell of Denver, Has Horrors When .Story From Seattle Follows Her to Portland. A Jokr may be a Joke for all that, but when someone telegraphs to a news paper and says that two young men : are tagging you over all the country and that they're Just erasy to marry you, and. one of them Is the son of Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, Mass., and the other is his chum, and then a lot more well, goodness gracious, consider it yourself and see If you think It's a joke. 4 That's the n ay Miss Marjorie Camp -bell,' of Denver, Colo., pretty and ptita enough to suit the fancies of a doien fastidious beaux, seemed to think about It at the Hotel Portland . today at noon although she didn't say Just that What she said was: "Why I never went through such ' an experience before in all my Ufa, Why, I'm Just scared to death of a newspaper reporter. Why, its all a joke,- Then she took the reporter around to talk with a masculine friend, who was . cool and dignified and a little bit stern, and who said with frigid impressive ,' neaas , "All a Joke." So was the scribe dis " missed. This was the dispatch that caused all the trouble, and the one Ml as Camp bell was allowed to read: The' Telltale Dispatch. "Seattle,. Aug. 24 Following the hur ried departure from Seattle this morn ing of Douglas Lawson, youngest son of Tom Lawson, the famous Boston financier, it developed that he had again resumed the gam of tag with Miss Marjorie Campbell, a young Denver so ciety girl with whom he became ac quainted and to whom he quickly fur lendored his heart on bis recent trip to Alaska. Miss Caftipbell and her mother, With whom 'she is traveling, left the Hotel Washington yesterday for Portland. Young Lawson learned of their departure and took the first train to Portland this morning, planning to . mt the Campbells at the Hotel Port land today. "he figures on outwitting E. D. Berl, San Francisco chum, who was along with him on the trip to Alaska, and who also has entered in to the race with young Lawson for the affections of the young Denver glrL "Young Lawson, closely followed by Brl, ha been tagging after Miss Campbell since they first met 'on the Alaska trip. The young Bostonian had the blues in Ketchikan when Berl . tool? Mies Campbell out boat riding, but since returning to 8eattle Lawson Hias forgotten all about returning to Harvard, forgotten the several weeks of hard work he put in in the wheat fields near Colfax with young McCall, the former iar Harvard second base man, who is soon to wed his youngest slater, and is bent only on winning the hand of Miss Campbell 'And as soon as he learned that Mlsa Campbell had left the, hotel, Lawson at once gave up his rooms at the Hotel Washington, He evidently will not have much the stajt of Berl. as the latter has given up bis rooms at the Arctic club and lias started presum ably for Portland." Afraid of Beporters. "Horrors," she said, "what does it ail mean?" ' "Did Mr. Lawson and Mr. Berl fol low you to Portland?" "I don't know." she said, wida- eyed with surprise. "Are they here?" "No." - - '"Well, wee they attentive lo you on the boat?" "Uni-in-ni I'm scared to death of re porters. Won't you wait a moment un til I ask a friend about It?" ' Then followed the assertion of the male frn that It was "all a Joke." "I'd like to get some joke back on those two girls who came down on the boat with us." Miss Campbell re marked. She had her suspicions, you ee. Inquiries ,.at the principal hotels ahowed that if Messrs. Lawson and Berl are In the city, they are not ad vertising themselves.

Lambert, who fatally wounded hla wife In Woodlawn July 8, and afterward shot himself, was taken from St. Vincent's hospital this- morn ing and arraigned before Municipal Judge Bennett on a charge of murder. (His attorney waived- examination and he was held to the grand Jury, which is considering his case today and will probably indict hfm this afternoon. During the six weeks Lambert has been in tbe hospital he has several times been close to death. A few weeks ago Police Surgeon Ziegler saved him by a difficult operation. The prisoner is still pale and thin and appears to be decidedly indifferent to his fate. This morning he at first denied re membering anything about the , shoot ing, but later admitted It and expressed regret that he had not killed the man in the case." '. "Do you think you made a fool of yourself?" Lambert was asked. ' "Well, when a man ia not in his own mind he Isn't responsible for what he does," was the answer. "I was Insane at the time." Lambert went with his wife, Grace, to Woodlawn on the morning of the shooting, accompanied by her father for the supposed purpose of selling a lot which they owned. While .standing in a grove of trees near the residence of A. J. Turpln, he pulled a revolver and shot her while she held their youngest child in her arms, the powder scorch ing the little girl's chcrtt. Lambert then fired a -bullet Into Ms oreast. Mrs. Lambert died a. few days afterward. FIRE STATION IS Blaze in Roof Gives Company on the Macadam Road Unique Experience. Members of engine company No. 10 of the Portland fire department fought a fire which attacked their own quar ters on Macadam road at 11:30 o'clock this morning. The blaze was started by sparks from the chimney of the building and had obtained a fairly strong hold On the roof before the fire men detected the odor of smoke. The horses and apparatus were run out of the building ana to the nearest fire hydrant and members of the com pany, under Battalion Chief Doyle fought the flames without calling on any of their fellow firemen. Before the blaze had been extinguished the roof had been so badly damaged that it will be necessary to replace it entirely. The interior of the building was also badly damaged by water. The members Of the company are this afternoon en gaged in cleaning up the quarters and drying out their bed clothing. I . In an opinion rendered this morn ing by City Attorney Grant, it la held that the owners of the recently de stroyed Exposition building are entitled to the compensation awarded them In case the extension of Morrison street is made. - Councilman- Kubll Introduced an ordinance a few weeks ago, in which ft is asked that the ordinance adopt ing the viewers' report be repealed. It in tbe opinion of the cfty attorney that the original ordinance cannot be re pealed, and the only way to do is to repeal the entire proceedings. The idea of those back of the effort to repeal the ordinance in which the report of the viewers is given was to get out of paying the heavy damages to the owners of the Exposition build ing. The viewers reported that. In case Morrison street be extended, the city should pay such damages. The Exposi tion building burned after the matter had gone through the council, and the auditor had entered the assessments for benefits on the lien docket. As the matter stands, the viewers as sessed damages to property, and the city attorney holds that this is valid, and the only way not to pay these danv ages, especially lo the. owners of the old Exposition building, is to rescind all proceedings. It is proposed to ex tend Morrison streot from Chapman to Washington streets. OREGON PIONESfl OF 1865 DIES AT EUGENE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Eugene, or.. Aug. 24.

DAMAGED BY FIRE COUNCIL WOULD PAY HEAVY DAMAGES protests agistmgieiit Alleges Violation of Direct Pri mary Law by W. J.Clarke and William Baker? (Safest Bureau of Tbe Journal.) ' Balem, Or.. Aug. 21. Charging W. J. Clarke, the assembly candidate on the Republican ticket for state printer, and William Baker, printer, who filed Clark's argument advocating his nom ination with the secretary of state, with misrepresentation and falsehood and vi olation of the direct primary law, Willis S. Duniway, the direct primary, candi date for reelection on the Republican ticket for the same office, today filed with th4 secretary of state a protest against allowing the argument to be printed in the publicity pamphlet, w'hlch will be seht td every registered voter. Duniway construes the argument, in ad dition to being favorable to Clarke's candidacy, as an attack upon himself and his administration as state printer. As the direct primary law designates August 16 as the latest date on which argments can be filed against a candi date; and also provides that a copy of them must be served on the candidate attacked, he contends that the present argument, being filed August 22, the latest date at which arguments can be filed favorable to candidates and print ed In the pamphlet, is In' violation of the direct primary law. While the argument pretends to be In favor of the candidacy of Clarke, and does not refer to Duniway by name directly, It makes use of the words, "Stato printer," and throughout la sprinkled with the ' words, "he" and "his," and this method, Dtlnlway con tends, is but a covert way of attack ing so as to avoid being compelled to file the argument August IS, as he would then have had an opportunity of filing a reply. Being filed August 22, however, he Is deprived of this right. He further alleges that August 23 he consulted the chief clerk of the secretary of state as to how late that day arguments favorable to the nom ination of candidate would be accent ed and was told 6 o'clock in the after noon. Promptly at that hour, he says, he consulted the clerk as to whether any argument hnd been ftled by Clarke and. was advised that there had not. Misrepresentations and (falsehoods are alleged ,to consist In the comparing ot the revenues of the state printer with the combined salaries of other state of fices, and In stating that tbe office is operated on a fee system when it is operated on piece work system.

Chloo, Cal., Aug. 24. Burning swiftly up the brushy canyons and heavily timbered gulches ot the north fork of the Feather river, a forest fire Is rapidly advancing cm the small mining town of Magalla, or Dogtown, on the Stirling City railroad. Several cabins and other mine buildings have been de stroyed. Tbe main part of the town is directly in the path of the fire and a strong wind ls sweeping down from Sawmill mountain, driving the flames rapidly toward the frame houses. Every available man In the mountain section from Paradise valley to the Diamond Match company's giant mills at Stirling City Is at the fire front The women and children of the ranch ers and mtners along the river are guarding their homes. Several small hack fires have been started and two of these hve broken from control in the high wind. They have Joined the main body of fire, making fire area more than two miles in width. " One man, as yet unidentified, is lying at the point of death from severe burns received while fighting the fires. He was caught in a dry gully, up which the fire ran like lightning. The Diamond Match company ls send ing relief trains to Magalla from Dur ham. It la feared that railroad com munication will be cut off, as communi qation by wire has already been. Nine miles farther out in the mountains are located the extensive mills and woods of the Diamond Match company. There also are the towns and settlements of Insklp, Stirling City, Powellton and Par adise Valley. Should the fire reach any of these mills and towns the loss would be enormous. It Is believed the fire cannot cross the Feather river, as the wind Is ad verse. If It should, however, it would cat its way into the heart of the Oon aw and Flea valley forests in the vi cinity of Spanish peaks. The entire mountain region is envel oped in smoke. This has come not only from the local fires but from the confla grations in Oregon.

They held another meeting last night and, like the old man,could not find their man. This afternoon they are going to hold another meeting when, so Charlie Lockwood says, 'the result, of certain mysterious pilgrimages will be made known and ,"a certain party" may be crowned with the nominaUon of tho fragment of the "assembly." Charlie Lockwood, who keeps gate and gives out, censored results of star chamber sessions of the - "managing men," this morning was very busy look ing over a long list of names and find ing those who ought to be "educated" with assembly literature. A number of girls were mailing out this literature, telling the .voter that the "assembly" nominations were the homlnations of the Republican party, that the voter ought to .get back of them and put specially selected men Into office. Sid nothing-. "We didn't do nothing," said Charlie, when asked what the secret session of the managing men had accomplished at their latest effort last night "We talked about it a little bit and then ad journed until this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The committee wanted to see a certain party first and see if he would take the nomination." "Who was the 'certain party?" the gatekeeper was asked, and he smiled slyly. "Oh we have decided not to give out that Information 'until we have picked the man," was the answer. "Then," he continued, '"we will make It public," "Was it Judge Northup?" was the next question. "No. It was a party that Judge Northup salt would be a good man," said Charlie. "What we want to do," he continued with a suddei burst of confidence, "Is to pick out the best man, the man who will serve the people of Oregon best. When we find that man, then wo will nominate him, and, when we nominate him, we will, give It out for publication." Publlo Jfot lute rested. "Is there anything now la the cam paign T"' changing the subject "There ain't nothing that the pub llo is Interested in," said Charlie. "Isn't the public generally interested In the election of publlo officials, or the campaign which ls to result In their nomination or election?'' Charlie was asked. "Well." he answered, "they ain't In terested In these preliminary atepa Things ain't warmed up yet" "When Is the campaign going to openT' was the next one. Short Campaign. "Oh, I don't know, abwut the 9th. I guess. It ls a long time yet. We ain't going to have a long campaign." "Going to burn all your red fire at once?" it was suggested. "There ain't going to be much red fire." said Charlie. "I don't believe much in these speeches. We don't run campaigns now like we used to. Times have changed." And Charlie sighed. - "Perhaps you are going to conduct a campaign of education?" It was eug gebted. "Oh, I don't know. I believe the peo ple are already educated." And Char lie sighed again, and, reminded of hla task, began his labors once more.
