DOINGS OFTHEWEEK Current Emits of Interest Gathered From Uie World ot largo. General Return« of Important Events Presented In Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. Chicago celebrated the Fourth with out an accident, the first time on rec ord. Mexican rebels evacuated Chihua hua upon the approach of the federate, and have begun a guerilla warfare. Two Elks’ grand lodge committees met in Portland and the city is full of C.1B ready for the national conven Elks tion. [*2 Aviator Christofferson was unable to fly at Tillamook on July 4, owing to dangerous cross currents of air which prevented him rising above 50 feet. Grand Army men refused to partici pate in Fourth of July exercises at Honolulu because the Declaration of Independence was read by a Japanese girl. On account of Canadian fuel oil tar iff laws it is likely all ships plying be tween Canadian and United States ports will obtain their fuel in thiB country. The first train over the Oregon Electric into Albany, Oregon, was greeted on July 4 by about 30,000 peo pie assembled there for that purpose and for a general celebration. One man was killed and a woman probably fatally injured when their automobile was crowded off the croad and over an embankment by "road hogs" in a larger and faster machine, near Portland. A trio of Pennsylvania men have written to Gov. Hay, of Washington, offering to come West and extermin ate the "herds of seal and walrus which they understand infest the Co lumbia river and kill the deer and elk and endanger the settlers along the river.” Detective Burns and Attorney Rog ers were fined for contempt of court at the Darrow trial. Several ships sailed from New York with improvised and pick-up crews, owing to the seamen’s strike. Miss Harriet Quimby, a woman aviator, with a male passenger fell 1000 feet in a Blériot monoplane near Boston and both were instantly killed. Forty dead have been taken from the ruins of the city of Regina, B. C., which was struck by a hurricane. The motorman was killed and six passengers injured when a Seattle streetcar ran away and turned over on a curve. A cousin of ex-President Diaz, of Mexico, died at Hutchinson, Kan., while en route to Spain to join his relatives. • Mexican federal and rebel armies are face to face at Bachimba and it is believed the final battle of the revolu tion will be fought. P O R TLA N D M A R K ETS . E L K S T A K E P O R TLA N D . Investment Realty Abstract Company W H Y City Illuminated as Never Before— Thousands Arrive. Portland, July 8. — Portland is in possession of the Elks. From every state and every clime the antlered multitude and their families poured into the city yesterday. More than score of special trains arrived, each carrying its burden of pleasure-seek ing lodge men. ‘Every regular train carried its full quota of convention crowds. Nearly all the regular trains operated in special sections. Elks from California, Oregon Washington and Idaho points predom inated in [numbers from early in the day. Late last night the eastern part of the United States contributed its share. Jersey City sent more than 100, while Cincinnati, New '.York, and other points (east of the Mississippi contributed heavily to the arrivals. All night long the magnificent trains of five, six, eight and [even dozen splendidly equipped coaches reached the city. Portland was a ready host. Port land Elks had prepared amply for such a crowd. Portland citizens, too, had taken up the burden and shared the responsibility and the joy ^of caring for thousands of guests. The Court of Honor, which is the masterpiece of decorative art, wa3 il luminated in all its glory. Its great towering buildings smiled down on the good-humored crowds [beneath the brilliant lights. The monster'electric signs upon the tallest structures caused prolonged study from all visi tors. Those who have attended form er grand lodges marveled with those who never had seen an Elks’ reunion. While the care-free multitudes thronged the decorated thoroughfares of [the city, the machinery of the grand lodge was busy inside the Mult nomah hotel, grinding out its regular yearly routine of work, preparatory to the opening of the regular sessions on Tuesday morning. S H U T O U T IN O K LA H O M A . Political Bolters Find No Place Un der Peculiar Laws. Oklahoma City.—There will be no third party in Oklahoma. Roosevelt Republicans find there is no way for them to put a party in the field, un der the title of the Progressive Re publicans or any other title signifying that it is an offshoot of the Republi can party. The same rule applies to Democrats. The Democratic organization in Okla homa carefully screwed down the lid to prevent the success of any bolting party when Oklahoma became a state. This fact is not generally known. A candidate for nomination must file as a Democrat, Republican, Socialist or Prohibition, or else as an independent. He is precluded under the law from filing as an "Independent Republican" or "Progressive Democrat," or in any other way in which he may seek to use the name of one of the four parties. Filing time expired June 27. The Roosevelt Republicans made no effort to put a ticket in the field and cannot do it now. The rigid effects of this anti-bolting law were not generally known until delegates returned from the Chicago convention and found they could not start anything in Oklahoma. Air Has New Dangers. Paris—An army aeroplane accident showing the great danger of machines passing too near to each other while flying occurred at Villacoublay, near Paris. Lieutenants Briez and Burlez, of the French army, started on a flight from the aerodrome in separate mono planes. Lieutenant Briez had at tained an altitude of 600 feet, when Burlez passing him at greater speed, 100 feet higher in the air, forced a pocket of air downward and caused the machine driven by Briez to crash to the ground.

GUARANTEES RELIABLE SERVICE Many Prostrations— Horses Fall In Streets — Hot Wave Helps Crops In Country. Chicago, July 8.—Twenty deaths in the two days of torridity Chicago has experienced was the record tonight when the statistics were footed up. In addition there were half a hundred serious prostrations and 18 persons were bitten by rabid dogs. Meanwhile the heat wave has "flat tened out,” to use a technical expres sion of the weather forecasters. Over the grain fields of the West and Southwest the blazing sunshine was making millions in agricultural wealth. The suffering in the cities meant the fortunes of the farmers. The temperature today did not reach yesterday’s extreme height and the humidity was 71, or four degrees be low that of yesterday, but men and horses continued to drop in the streets, which were like hot tunnels. Some relief came in the afternoon, when shifting winds brought a light breeze off the lake. It was confined to that portion of the city within a half mile of the lake front, however, as the breeze was so light it lost its coolness after traveling over belching chimneys. By way of comparison, it may be noted that San Francisco, with a max imum of 60 and a minimum of 50, was the coolest spot in the country. Port land had 62 and 52, Los Angeles was next, with 78 and 58, more than 20 degrees cooler than Montreal and To ronto. Phoenix, Ariz., claims the heat record, with 104. Boston report ed 90, New York 82 and Washington 90. Various Texas points had an av erage of 96, Cincinnati was compara tively cool at 80, or eight degrees cooler that St. Louis, which had pre cisely the same temperature as St. Paul, 88, and was four degrees cooler than Madison, Wis. Sault Ste. Marie, usually the abiding place of the chilly wave, sweltered at 92, 10 degrees hotter than Memphis, Tenn. Green Bay, Wis., also one of the "cold spots" on the tourist circulars, reported 94, or 10 degrees warmer than Denver. In addition to 20 deaths in Chicago, five deaths were reported from Phila delphia, one from La Crosse, Wis. and five others from various points. AM ER ICAN S WIN HO N O R S. Tw o World's Records Broken at Swedish Olympiad. Stockholm, Sweden—The glory of the opening of the Olympic games of 1912 should be divided between Swed en and the United States. Sweden gets the lion’s share, for the impres sive stage setting she provided for the contests, which, with the natural beauties of Stockholm—its parks and palaces and lakes—and the moving ceremonial with which the king in augurated the meeting, makes it by far the most memorable international festival ever held. America’s share of the honor is due to the remarkable fashion in which her brawny young men set to work on the cinder path. They ran away with heat after heat in the first rounds of the 100 meters and 800 meters; they outdid the expectations of their train ers and completely upset the calcula tions the public had made. ' They left their old-time British rivals far be hind. The smashing of the Olympic record by D. E. Lippincott, University of Pennsylvania, in the 16th heat of the 100 meters event, puts that runner in the hero class. The world’s record with the javelin, made by E. Lemming, the Swedish champion, was not unexpected, but the Hawaiian swimmer "D uke” Ka- hanamoku, covered himself with glory by winning the United States the sec ond world’s record of the meeting.
