The rear of the composing room of the Clarion aid the rear of the paint shop whs burning when the firemen arrived, and the firemen chopped out the boarded up doorway between the two rooms, In order to better get at the flames. W. K. I'hipps. publisher and editor of the Clarion, was unable to make any estimate of his loss this forenoon beyond the dirt, smoke grime, water and inconvenience caused. The dam age to his plant will not be much unless it develops that the typesetting machine was injured by water, scorching nnd smoke. Anyhow, the loss is fully covered by Insurance, he said. j This week's issue of the Clarion had been put In the mails yesterday, and i Mr. Philips said next week's lssuo would be Issued on time, no matter what damage had been caused to the typesetting machine or anything elsa The damage to theMedford Auto Painting company will not amount to over $200, The stock of paints on hand and nil the paint brushes were burned, nnd two new nuto tires that wero leaning tip against the partition were badly burned on the surface.

(By the Associated Press).- The sarcophagus of Tutenkhamen has been brought to! light after remaining hidden for more than 3000 years in the tomb of the Pharaoh In the Valley of the Kings. The long-sought for treasure of an tiquity, carved from pinkish granite, probably Assua'n stone, lies within the fourth casket of blazing gold a cas ket even more brilliant than the other shrines enclosing the sarco-, phagus. Its doors covered with car touches of the dead Pharaoh sur rounding a figure of the monarch. The sarcophagus is elaborately carv ed nnd there is reason to believe it will prove to bo of even greater ar tistic value than the nlnk sarcophagus of Harmahid, or the famous alahas-1 ter cor fin of fietl I In the Sloane mu seum in London.

The richness of the gold encas ing the third shrine recalls again the wondrous splendor of Imperial Egypt at the time when Tutenkhamun ruled in the Nile valley. There is almost enough gold in this tomb to stock a I small mint. And. even though price less treasures have been handled, fully 70 per cent of the riches in the tomb, remain to be examined. They arej stored In other rooms almost every Hiuare yard of which is worth king's ransom. ' APPOINT TRUSTEES PORTLAND ESTATE PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. S. Per manent trustees for the E.
