Identified with Salt Lake papers for four years, he went to Portland about four years ago. Lnter he went to San' Francisco, where The collaborated with Waldcmar Toung on an opera, "The King Maker," now being pre sented at the Princess theater In San Francisco. He was taken sick In Los Angeles, and his father brought him home six weeks ago, since which time hcgradually sank. He was one of the most widely known and pop ular members of the Journalistic set here. He was twice married to Rose' many Glosz, who Is now taking the title role In "The Merry Widow" In New York. Race Whitney came to Portland from Suit Lake city in 1905 and for about a year was employed on the Journal ns dramatic and general writ er at the expiration of that period leaving for San Francisco. As his subject moved him his "copy" was marked by wit, humor, pathos, Irony or satire, and was always breezy and Interesting. He "covered" the Lew la and Clark fair for the Journal In a most creditable manner. His wife sang in a number of concerts In Port land and appeared several times In orchestral productions during the fair. Before coming to Portland Whitney divided his time between newspaper and theatrical work. He handled all the press work for Pain's fireworks at Manhattan Beach, New York, and acted as advance agent for several theatrical companies, among them be ing the "Foxy Qulller" company. He re-entered theatrical work on going from Portland to San Francisco. PERSONAL MENTION SOLDIERS ON LONG MARCH. Two Battalions of Third Infantry Take Road from Yakima to Ameri can Lake.

For several days the atmosphere here has been very hazy, and the odor of burning pine has been no ticed, says The Dalles Chronicle. This was caused by. a forest fire below Hood River which was started Friday evening a short distance from that city. The fire threatened for a time to destroy the home and orchard of Murray Kay, and also the power house of the Hood River Electrlo Light company. It Is said that a large force of men worked faithfully for several hours before the fire was gotten under control. It Is hoped no further damage will occur from the fire, and It is probable the rain yes terday put out all smouldering em bers. At this time of year It does not require much to cause a devasta ting forest fire, when everything is so dry. TONIGHT mm OdicM By the 4ft (ft Ik? n From Fort Ualla Ualla LA GRANDE TEAM DISBANDS.
