Fire en tailing a financial loss of more than $200,000 and throwing approxi mately 300 men out of employment, occurred here this afternoon when the plant of the Willamette Valley Lumber company ; wras totally de stroyed by fire. Although , endan gered at times, the firemen succeed ed in saving the power plant of the Oregon Power company, the Souths era Pacific roundhouse and other structures in the direct path of the flames. . The firs was first discovered at 2 o'clock, and within five minutes the entire structure was a mass of flames. A hal hour later a pile of smouldering ffbers was all that remained of tae plant. The mill was as dry as tinder, and the heat from the flames was so Intense that the firemen were unable to advance nearer than a few hundred feet of the burning buildlngsr" Railroad employes. i who were called to the scene of the fire fol lowing the first alarm, removed sev eral cars loaded with timber and otherwise assisted in salvaging ma terial in the yards. Also assisting in fighting the flames were S00 men employed in the camps of the com pany in Polk county. Only a small quantity ot cut dumber waa -destroyed. The mill vras erected about 12 years ago and had a capacity of 150,000 feet a day. ; It is believed that the fire ignited from a hot box on a slab conveyor.1 Charles K.

The party name promises to de velop a fight. Members of the single tax group want some reference to their name incorporated in the party name. The labor party of the United States, whose convention gets under way tomorrow, is willing to join the third party and probably will accept LaFollette as a candidate, but de mands that the word "Iabor" be in cluded In the designation.

Pcrtland had ber hands full dar ing the convention to give the Shrin ers and their ladies, about 75,000 in all. a taste of real hospitality with free. rides up the Columbia river highway, free automobile trips through the residence districts of the city and feeds and dances for the various segregations of the big del egation. Four representatives from each Shrine temple In North America transacted the business of the an nual session at the auditorium while the thousands of accompanying Shriners' and their ladles enjoyed the festivities. ... When the second day 7t the con vention arrived there was no formal parade until evening. The bands. 75 of them, each accompanied by a uni formed marching organization, were ruests of Portland at a sea-food din ner at The Oaks. .Thousands of Portland people volunteered the use of their automobiles to lentertaln the other visitors and there was a constant stream of visitors up the Columbia highway all day. That waa the state of affairs when Ralera stepped in with a carefully arranged-program to give a few of the visitors a glimpse of the Wil lamette valley. Six hundred and twenty-four cars, so the final figures showed, came down Hie valley from Salem and the surrounding communities and took 2T.e- visitors out of Portland for a ride of more than 100 miles throurn a beautiful valley, heavy with tho fragrance of white clover and beau tiful roses and every things green.
