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. Spauldlng of Salem Is
one of the stockholders in the Dallas
company, lie said the plant was
well Insured and that the work of
rebuilding the mill would start with
in the next few weeks.
The plant was one of the largest
of its kind In Oregon, and had oper
ated almost continuously for several
years.

Determination of the single taxers

The party name promises to de

their name incorporated in the party
name. The labor party of the United

third party and probably will accept

tural advantages of this locality in
all parts of the I'nited States and

published in the last issue of the
Colfax Gazette, at Coltat. Wash.
The article reads:
Just one little incident in the
magnificent hospitality of .the cities
of the northwest to the visiting
Shriners from all parts of North
America took place at Salem. Or.,
"j ." miles up the Willamette valley
from Portland, when the annual con
clave of the imperial council was In
session two weeks ago.
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.
It was a gala day hp the valley,
business was suspended, the mep
rolks were driving the cars and the
women and children were either
waving frcn the porches or standing
beside the toad throwing roses Into
the passing cars as the red-fezre(l
visitors bowed and waved their ap
preciation. The start was mnde a ? o'clock
In the morning from the court hon-
in Portland, and it was nearly noon
when the caravan Wtran to arrive a:
Salem, after a run of ."5 miles over
the paved Pacific highway with a
few detours throuch small towns
along the way. All cars stopped at I
the north entrance of the state cap!-1
tal building, passengers were elven
the nmnber of their cars and in
structions to take the same car at
the east entrance to the capita!
building an hour later. A few min
utes were spent in tho spacious capi
tal building and then the guide
called attention to the kegs of logon
Lerry juice and sandwiches which
were in wamnsr under the trees on
the lawn on the west s!de of the
capital building.
Two big sandwiches ard a pickle,
wrapped in paraffine paper and tie.l
between two paper plates, with a
rose tucked under the string. That
was the lunch handed to each of the
25oo visitors. And loganberry Jtii-
there was no limit to the native
beverage -f the Willamette valley.
When the lnnch hour ended an
announcer with a megaphone land
ing on a able at the west entrance
to the state building, called out num
bers and, the visitors had no diffi
culty In finding their cars. Practi
cally all the Oregon state institu

gardens and shrubbery that sur
pass even the beauties of Portland.
After lun'h a half hour was spent
In driving throuch the grounds of
the various institution, and then
awav the cars went for the west side
of thn valley and back to Portland
by a diflerent route. Cherry orch
