Tbej Western Cooperage plant has
thelat fire protection of any similar
plant on the coast. This was evi
deuced by the way tnat fire was extin
guished Wednesday morning
Tbe fire alarm was sounded about
two a. m. Wednesday morning, and
but for the excellent facilities for ex
tinguishing fires, the factory would
now be a heap of ashes. The damage
was probahly $30(1, and delay in mak
ing necessary repairs will amount to
considerable more.
Iti Beeswax.
The finding of another enormous
hunk of beeswax on the Xehulein
beach by a local resident named D. R.
Lane has led to discoveries that settle
the long discussed problem of tbe or
igin of the Nebelem coast beeswax. It
is said to have been the remains of a
cargo of 600 tons of beeswax brought1
from Spain in a ship that was lost on
this coast more than 200 years ago.
The residents of the Nebalcm coast
estimate that more than 400 tone of tLe
wax have teen found in variously
siied chunks along the beach in the
last 100 years The earliest settlers on
the coast of Oregon found it deposited
iu the sand, and since that time differ
ent perous have fouud the wax in
pieces ranging from CO to .',00 pounds.
Many theories were advanced as to
what It came from and how it got
there. Volume have been written on
the subject and ienous have maintain
ed that the stuff was not lieeswax at
all, but some natural product of the
sea, driven ashore by the winds. It
has been proveu by exact chemical an
alysis that the substance is genuine
beeswax, and great quantities of it have
been sold by the finders to eastern
dealers,
The last discovery, made by Mr.
Lane, consisted of 300 pounds, which
he sold to a dealer at the market price.
Tbe chunk was in square form and
bad been moulded in a box. It bore
on one side a large letter "8" and o
another aide a diamond brand. The
wax bad been poured in it to a depth
of more lhan a foot, then two or three
layers of old-eaudJcs-bad been thrown
io, and more layers of hot wax, some
of finer quality than the lower layer.
Hie discovery of the candles in the
chunk led to Investigations that have
satisfied those Interested as to tbe true
origin of tbe Nebalcm beeswax.

P0RTLA5D LETTER.
(From our Special Col respondent.)
Portland, April .1, im
The new primary law, which will be
tested at the polls at the coming June
election, will probably work a com
plete revolution in Oregon politics. It
is still an untried measure but It is cany
to prophesy that so far as boss rule Is
coucerned, this Is the beginning of the
end. The trend of recent events i In
the direction of a higher code of civil
ethics snd a cleaner administration of
governmental affairs. Thl argue
well for the re-election of Governor
Chamberlain and United States Hen
atorOearin. The demand for the re-election of
George K. Cbamperlaln is by no means
a partisan one. His administration tf
tha office has been so clean, fair, econ
omical and so entlerly free from politi
cal trickery that there has efisted all
through his term a steadily Incrt-asing
desire on the part of conservative and
fair-minded voters, that he continue at
the helm of the State for another term.
This is one of the evidences ot an
. awakened public conscience and of the
destalned overthrow of the Oregon
bosses.
The recent resignation of Republican
State Chairman Frank C Itaker Is
: another demonstration along the same
line,
. The wisest of the Republican ward
heelers in Portland can find no satis
factory explanation of Mr. Bakers ab
diction. It may mean Unit the Itc
publican Junty will have no money lo
spend during this rampidgn. It inny
mean that the late chairman wc tho
handwriting on th wall, mid having
no inclination to wage u liming fight,
had rather strike mow than lutcr. Tho
fact remains that lhe former bo wont
to the national Otpitol, haw the wImo
men tif the FmsT, returned home, mid,
in the parlance of lhe street, threw up
the gponge. 1
Nearly all of the Republican
aspirants for Governor are Iu Portland,
aach confident of Uie nomination. Tho
keynote of the cam pnlgn is this: "As
Portland goes, an goes tho election."
