NORMAL REGENTS MEET:
The annual meeting of the board
of regents of the Southern Oregon
State Normal School was held in Ash
land on Friday afternoon. Prof. B. F.
Malkey of Polk comity was elected

Clayton, resigned.
After reading of the report of the

mittee for the past year, the election
of a president for the ensuing year was
considered. Thongli nnmerons applica
tions were on file for the position.
Hon. B. F. Mulkey, of Monmouth,
Ore., was unanimously chosen. Mr.
Mulkey is at present stato senator
from Polk County and well known all
over the northern part of the state
and a teacher In the stato normal
school at Monmouth for several years
just past. Mr. Mulkey, we need not
say, is already known as one of the
ablest normal instructors in the state,

curing his services for it will secure
for the Ashland Normal a standing
second to none in educational circles.

PORTLAND' S BIG FIRE.
Shortly before llo'clqfk Saturday
night tire broke out in the Wolff A
Zwickcr Iron Works and East Water
aud East Madison street, and before
It was placed under control, burned
nearly six acres of territory and de
stroyed property roughly estimated at
1400,000 in value.
The fire next attacked the East Side
Lumber Company's mill and yard.
The inflammable material burst out as
though saturated with oil and in half
an hour the mill was nothing but
ruins. Two spans of the Madison
street bridge fell In, and the Portland
City & Oregon Railway warehouse
was destroyed. The entire absence of
wind aided the firemen or the whole
warehouse district on the East Side
would have burned. Insurance is light
as the rates in that vicinity are al
most prohibitive.

JOE THE TURK.
Adjutant Joseph Garahed, or "Joe
the Turk, " a4 lie styles himself was
in Grants Pass last week aud Ireld
meetings for tho Salvation Army.
From newspaper accounts of him,
Joe must be a remarkable fellow. He
was born in Turkey in 18tS0 and came
to this country 20 years ago and be
came identified at once with the Sal
vation Army. He became naturalized
and entered into the full privileges of
American citizenship.
He is a unique specimen of the gen
us evangelist. He wears a brilliant
Turkish costume.with a sufficiency of
color, braid, tinsel aud decorations for
a pasha of high degree, and plays on
various musical instruments, including
a wonderful saxapriue which in Joe's
hands, emits a volume of sound resemb
ling a duet of Scotch bagpipes aud a
steam calliope. Ho is a magulliceiit
specimen of physical manhood, is in
telligent aud a fluent talker as well.
TROPICALTCURlOS.
In the show window of Cramer
Bros, hardware establishment is a col-
lection of Interest ing curios on ex
hibition. They were brought to this
city from the Island of Sumatra by
W. S. Dow, of Grants Pass,' who re
cently returned from the tropics,
where he had been a member of a
mining engineering party.
Two of the curios are the heads, or
beaks rather, of a male and female
rhinoceros bird. There is also the
saw of a saw fish and a Malay ax.
The curios are quite interesting and
well worth anybody's time to go and
examine them.
PHOENIX COAL PROSPECT.
It is reported that the Southern Pa
cific Company, which has been mak
ing extensive exploration on a coal
prosjiect near Phoenix, has abandoned
the work as valueless. A tunnel was
driven in on the ledge -ttK) feet. In the
face of the tunnel, where work was
stopped, there was a mixture of coal
and slate of no particular value. As
this formation had prevailed for some
time further exploration was not
deemed warranted, and the coniuy
decided to quit. The rompanv will
now do some development work on
some coal prospects in Meadows
country north of Gold Hill. Explora
tion will first lie made by drilling.
Rev. Robert Leslie is excctcd home
this week. He has been visiting in
Ohio, Illinoi", Iowa and other slates
during the past six weeks.
Wm. Caldwell, who formerly clerk
ed at Welch's clothing store and later
worked for the laundry, returned to
his home at Dallas, Tuesday.
