"'GMT WATCHMAN CMCMATCO Ualaa Oil Ca. Taaaa Cx4aa. Tao Shaaaflra taaa f ao Two explosions that caused many m torUand to behere tnat an earthquake had shaken the city and blew up the Union Oil Works, at the foot of Uoirersitr Park, oa the river back, at 12:15 o'clock Monday mom in destroyed one Large tank. two smaller ones, waica also caused the death of Night Watch man Leonard Taquo, an Italian. The roar caused by the explosion and the shocks that followed could be easily telt and heard in Portland, where many believed that the shock was caused by a trembler, a ae force of the explosion in the vicinity of the tanks and at the university was terrific Night Watchman P. S. Cite, of the Standard Oil Com pany, who occupies a small house near the worts,, was hurled from bis bed by the force of the shock, and the Columbia Uniersity build ings were slightly shaken and the windows were jarred. Residents in the vicinity of the tanks tor a distance of half a mile, distinctly lelt the jar, and the roar of the two explosions, which followed each other. The shock was so severe that residents of East Portland and of Portland Heights thought it was an earthquake and hastened to telephones to make inquiry concern ing the damage done. The ex plosion is thought to have been caused either from crossed electric wires or by the watchman in his careless use of his lighted lantern. For a tUa ft was- feared tb Standard Oil tanks nrijrnt catch fire and there was some alarm that the burning oil might set sawmills and the Port of Portland dry dock on fire. The explosion following the first one was caused by two small supply tanks near the larger one, blowing up. The shock trom the smaller two was not nearly so torable as that of the large tank. Fear was entertained that a great tank of dis tiline, just south of the large tank, would explode, and it was repeatedly threatened by the fierce heat caused by the three burning tanks sur rounding it. It was impossible for the fireman on the fire boat to throw water in its direction as the water only added test to the burning oil over which a stream would hare had to be thrown. North of the Union tanks are several tanks ot the Standard Oil Company. None ot these was in great danger through fear was at first expressed, and Sretaeu confined themselves to preventing the flames spreading jn their directions. Manager Flanders of the Standard Oil Company was on the ground to see that his property was protected. Great clouds of black smoke as cended into the heavens and could be seen from all parts of the ctr. The toss is estimated at $40,000. 8trar4 or Stolen.

W. S. LTRea, explains why the anti-pass bill, which carried at the recent election by 40,000 majority. fails to becomce a law, in a. recent statement at Oregon City: To the Editor: So fat as I have ever beard, every lawyer admits that the anti-pass bill fails to be come a law because there is no enacting clause. The absence ot the words, "Be it enacted by the people of the State of Oregon." was not noticed by anyone until the bill was in the hands of the State Printer, aad tatew at ara t la anr correction or withdrawal. The omission of the enacting clause is my blunder, and I cannot think of any one else who should justly bear any part of the blame. Hon. W. C Bristol, Seneca Smith. Thomas G. Greene and J. C. Vearie were employed by president Ben Selling to revise and correct the proposed constitutional amend ments and the anti-pass bill. That these gentlemen did their work wisely and with the most painstak ing care is perfectly obvious to any one who compares the first printed draft of the measures with the finished form in which they were submitted to the people. But no one would think of the possibility that a man who had had legislative experience might draft a bill and forget the enacting clause in send ing it to the printer. We hope and expect that the 40,000 majority which the bill re ceived will be accented hv the Legislature as a command to enact an effective anti-pass law. For my own blunder in the bill voted on by tne peop.e. I can oner no excuse because there is none. W. S. IT Ren. autfcala, 1 imit t lit aatUaaaaMtarraaaaa 111 aU I aaft amaaat aaaa aaaiik.

Last night was a celebration, indulged in by alL The streets were crowded with people. Stores of every kind did a rushing business. It was a novel occasion for Albany. It was a grand closing. The people here have seea many "grand openings," bat never before a closing. The celebration lasted until 12 o'clock. Local citizens were assisted by residents of surrounding "dry" towns, towns that have been dry for two years and for which Albany has been the distributing center, and some beer was consumed along with the noise ot celebration. Firecrackers and bombs that would pat a Fourth of July fire works committee to shame helped to enliven things. While the bibu lous god reigned, it was an orderly crowd. It was the last opportunity Bacchus will have in Linn county for some time, and many yielded to his blandishments. CorvaHis, Or., July 1. Local pro hibition went into effect throughout Benton county Monday and for the i second time. Ia November, 1904, the county voted tor drouth by a majority of 266, and on the first day ol January following local pro hibition became operative. The "wets" at the time observed the occasion with unusual festivities that continued for a week mainly perhaps, to show the "drys" that there could be frolic and fun in spite of prohibition. In the late election there was a vote on the question of wet or dry, and the elec torate went for drouth for a second time by a majority of 2S6, or twenty more than formerly. McMinnville, Or., July 1. Last night drinking people celebrated the closing of saloon business in Yamhill county by drinking freelv and filling the air with bad langu age and yells. This rowdyism lasted till late in the night. Astoria, Or., July 1. Local op tion went into effect today in two precincts in this city, and as a result six saloons were closed. The brew ery is located in one of the "dry" precincts, bat will probably con tinue in operation. X. B. Troth, SL Paul, Jana 31, '(.

The old Reliable Ncifsrjz S Permanent Progress. Never in all history were greater movements in progress thaa thoae of the present. The next few years will be distinguished as the time ia which industrial problems are settled, the reign ol special privi leges brought to an end, the recog nition ol the doctrine of equal rights fixed in National policies and the conscience of rnankiad. We are in the midst of the mosi dramatic period of Americoa his tory, the period in which the peo ples rights are to be defined and observed as they have never been before. The man who shares ia these activities, ia a capacity ao matter how humble, is taking part in the tremendous moral upheavals now going on. Great tidal waves may inundate a community, then subside, and be remembered only by the distraction wrought. The effective and un tending impressioa is made by the silent, tide, which is constant and irresistible. We may not see the tide ia bamaa thought, but we are living la an age whea it is approaching the maximum. There have been great reform movements ia the days gone by, but they were local; the vampires of graft were driven away, aad remained but a season and thea returned, after the waves of public indignation had spent their tury. One city would have an uprising, which would die away, and then another would commence. The people were not awakened: there was no constancy in the movement, no concert of action ; no organization ot the forces of reform; nothing but local movements brought on by local conditions. The present presents a situation of brighter promise to our vision. Reform shows sign of becoming universal instead of local and trans itory. The revolt from political oppression is rearing its head in aty after city and state after state. A civic regeneration is going on all over the land, and its energies are extending from the domain ol the public to that of the private wrong doer, and probing into the doings 1 of rascals ol every kind.' The re cent elections iaOhio, Pennsylvania and New York, where such splendid victories were won for good govern ment, show that the people are invincible whea aroused. WTU it last? is ;he questoa. Will aot the people soon forget and allow things to continue in the same old way I answer, no. Reforms some times die, but revelations never go backward, and this is a revolution that has been wrought in the con science oi men. We are but ia the beginning of the movement for higher ideals in our political hfe. which will gather strength as the years go by. The elections of last November were but the taking of the first breastworks of the opposi tion. The fight will be kept up with unceasing vigor, and the time will never come when the people can rest on their arms in idleness. The battle against special privileges will continue so long as men love their families, their cities, their states and their country. That is what this regeneration means love of country.
