30" FOR WHITNEY.
Well Known Newspaper Man Turns Id
' Final "Copy,'' "
A special to the Telegram from
Salt Lake says:
Bace Whitney, aged 28 years, died
this morning, at the Latter Day
Saints' hospital, of neuritis. He was
a son of Apostle Orson F. Whitney,
poet of the Mormon church, .and was
a nephew of Senator Reed Smoot.
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.
The first and third battalions of
the Third infantry, U. B. A., com
manded by Lieutenant Colonel Lea

o'clock when they detrained, had
breakfast and made preparations for
the march, unloading the wagons and
Impedimenta from flat cars upon

Forest Fires at Hood River.
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.
