Oregon . Metropolis Suffers One of Worst Conflagrations in Years. DIG BUILDINGS DESTROYED STRUCTURES LEFT PROM THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION CAUGHT IN PATH OP THE FLAMES TWO ARE DEAD.

The beautiful Fair buildings, left after the Lewis A Clark Exposition, were in the path of the flames, among them the famous forestry building, the largest structure of logs In the world. Several apartment houses were destroyed, the occupants being forced to flee In their night clothes. The Multnomah Athletic club, Portland's exclusive athletic organization, famous throughout the west, was among the buildings burned, and the loss to garages was heavy. The ex plosion of gasoline In the garage dis trict added to the danger to the fire men and spread the flames, which were fanned by a high wind. The fire was declared under control at 3:30 a. m. , Then ten acres had been burned over. The fire was still raging fiercely, however and every available engine was kept at work flooding the devast ted district.

OF INTEREST

3. ' Milady's Mirror To prevent stringlne and the showing of ugly cords in the neck massage the throat every night with a cream made from two gills of spermaceti, two ounces of white wxv ten ounces of almond oil, forty grains of borax powdered and ten drops each of oil essences of bergamot and rosemary. A pinch of powdered camphor should be put with the cream while It is melting, or half a teaspoonful of tincture of benzoin may be added. Before this or any other cream is applied the throat must be carefully washed at night and the cream rubbed from chin to chest with a rotary motion. This work should last for five minutes at least. At the expiration of that time the cream may be lightly wiped off and a lotion 'made from a pint of high proof alcohol to an ounce of tincture of bensoin applied. Following this, the head is to be bent back as far as it will go, which should be enough to stretch the throat cords, and alternating with the backward tilt the bead must droop forward until the chin rests upon the chest. Afterward the head must be twisted first to one side and then to the other, the object of these movements being to . keep cords and muscles strong and elastic and prevent their sagging and so destroying the throat contour. The cream described above may also be rubbed into hollows of the chest to fill them out. A woman who carries her head well that is, the chin up is less apt to lose the beauty of her throat than one who permit her head to droop forward. As a matter of fact, the bead held up, the chin in place, is a beauty not common, but adds enormously to the effect of presence and distinction, A mistake not nuusual to those trying to cultivate the habit Is to thrust out the chin. The Feet and Success. The condition of the feet has a direct Influence over one's success in life. Tain and discomfort make one irritable, and people are apt to attribute the irritability to a naturally bad temper. Moreover, pain and discomfort distract one's attention from business, be this social or commercial. On every ac couut it Is of great Importance to have the feet as easy as possible. These remarks are merely passing touches of a subject whose full treatment would fill a volume. And in regard to con sidering ways and means you must be equally concise. One rule is to hare the feet sufficiently warm and pleasantly cool. Another is to keep the feet dry, not merely on account of possible chills, but because moisture tends to make soft corns and to so soften the akin that friction may cause tender ness. Footgear. Including socks and their substitutes, should be neither tight nor loose, but should fit easily, Tight boots cause pain by pressure. Loose boots occasion blisters "and corns by friction. The uppers must be soft and pliable to accommodate themsclves to the altered shape of the feet wbu standing, sitting, etc. The soles should be pliable. When they are stiff the feet are either lifted off the ground without the foot soles being bent, which Is tiring and makes the walk hideous, or the feet are wearied by the effort at each step to bend the boot soles. What's What In Hsirdressing. ' The matter of halrdressing this summer, says an authority, as regards the big shade hat or . the motor hat resolves itself into the simple proposition of trimming the face. The woman who is able to trim her face with best results will have achieved the greatest triumph in halrdressing. As for the top of the head, it doesn't show much, and a simple bun surrounded with an appropriate design in puffs or coils or bratds will do. nalrdressing for the hat is divided into three parts the utility part, when the hair is fastened where it ought to be so that there is something to build upon; the artistic part, which is after the hat is put on and the hair is draped to meet the knot at the back of the bead and secured firmly, and the gay or picturesque part, when the little pin curls are tucked In and the final fancy pins are fixed in place. Halrdressing as it should . be done takes time. You do it slowly and you take infinite pains with it. but when' once it is done it is. done for all day. You don't have to keep repairing it. To Prevent Tartar. Tartar being an enemy to sound teeth and healthy gums, care should be taken to prevent tartar from formIns. Use frequently a solution of tincture of myrrh, enough in a glassful to make it milky in color. The mouth should be carefully rinsed with an antiseptic wash immediately upon arising and l?f ore going to sleep. A good wash is made by adding one or two teaspoonfnls of listcrine to a glassful of tepid water, but this must not be used too constantly. Another good mouth wash Is thymol, seven and a half grains; borax, fifteen grains; distilled water, one pint. Detroit. July 14. The Elks have de cided to continue the maintenance of the Elks National home at Bedford City, Virginia. Today was the biggest parade ever held. Nearly fifty thousand Elks, mostly uniformed; were in line. There were a hundred thousand spectators. The ovation was continuous.

TO WOMEN

Cookery Points To many housewives the 'delicious pulled bread enjoyed at the best hotels and restaurants never occurs to mind as a possibility for the home table. Yet it Is not difficult to prepare 'and. where there are delicate digestions In the family, may even be regarded as a health investment in addition to Its tastiness. When the fresh loaf has cooled peel off the outside and pull the inside Into halves lengthwise, using a couple of forks to do it with. ' Now pull the halves further Into quarters, then into eighths, leaving the strips ragged, just as they " are formed in , the process. Line a baking pun with soft paper and lay the strips in it. Dry out in a moderate oven, leaving the oven door open. When thoroughly dry close the door and brown to a dainty shade. 'It should be reheated just before serving. Oder of Cabbage and Onions. It is admittedly not pleasing when it spreads over the whole house. Careful housekeepers try to prevent this as much as possible. Before beginning to fry onions or boil cabbage see that the top of the kitchen window is open and also draw back the grating above the stove. Even if only a few inches opening is made the smell from whatever is being cooked will thus have a means of escape. It is also a fact that if the lid Is kept off the pan In which either of these vegetables is being cooked the odor will be much less. It is a good plan to have some cedar wood dust at hand. A little scattered over the hot, stove gives a pleasant odor and prevents the smells from be ing noticeable. Appetising Sauces. It is sometimes the simplest sauces that make the most delicious relish. To melt a tablespoonful of butter with one of minced parsley added is little trouble, but this is all there is to the justly celebrated "maltre d'hotel" sauce that is considered so fine by those who love the pleasure of the table. But the dish much be hot and the parsley really minced, with all the bits of stalk removed. After a thorough washing, if one will use a pair of scissors, this is easily done far better than with a knife. As a rule, parsley is sent with meat orders, but where it can be had fresh from the garden It gives a savor ail Its own. There is nothing quite so nice with a bit of broiled meat. New Fudge Recipe. If the fudge Is kneaded with the hands or a knife after it has been stirred to a consistency that can be handled the grain will be finer than if it is made in the usual way. A recipe given by a cooking teacher of Pratt institute, Brooklyn, calls for three squares of chocolate, two tablespoonfuls of butter melted in the chocolate, three cupfuls of sugar, an eighth of a teaspoonful of salt, a cupful of milk or water and a teaspoonful of vanilla. When one girl makes it she melts the chocolate with the butter directly over the fire, stirring it all the time, then removes the dish containing it to the table and stirs in the sugar, then the liquid and salt, and returns the mixture to the fire to cook. Peach Snowballs. One-third box of gelatin, whites of three eggs, juice and rind of one lemon, small pinch of salt, flavor with vanilla, cover the gelatin with cold water; when soft add boiling water to make a full pint or a lltle more; strain It on a platter; when cold break into it the whites of the eggs, and beat until It begins to stiffen: add a little sugar, lemon juice and grated rind, salt and vanilla, also about one-balf pint of canned peaches reduced to a smooth pulp through a colander: have the fruit very sweet; beat all together until stiff and foamy, then mold in egg cups and set aside to harden. Serve with whipped cream. Fine Supper Relish. A delicious delicacy for warm weather suppers is lamb's tongue molded in aspic. The aspic is prepared a usual by the recipe. A quantity of the small tongues are used in a single block, which is sliced down and served either without garnish as a relish or on lettuce leaves with dressing, mayonnaise or French, as a salad. These refreshins jellied dainties are worth the serious attention of the warm weather hostess. Taft Salad. Dip tomatoes in boiling water an instant, then into cold water and take off the skins and cut into cubes. Peel a cucumber and cube it Remove the seeds from a green pepper and pare a Spanish onion, then shred both. Place in a bowl, sprinkle over a spoonful of minced chives, then toss together with French dressing. Serve very cold. When cooking an old fashioned boiled , dinner, place the spinach is a cheesecloth bag; then when the dinner Is done it can be easily taken out. and the other vegetable will not be covered with bits of green. Philadelphia, July 14. After a conference this morning with General Manager Myers, of the Pennsylvania railroad, representatives of the conductors and trainmen declared themselves optimistic. An amicable adjustment seems probable. Another conference is scheduled for this afternoon, . T-

IG Bessie Dunham Marries Her Sweetheart, Then Goes to the Hospital. RECOVERY IS DOUBTFUL CEREMONY PERFORMED WITH THE BRIDE IN WEAKENED CONDITION " FRIENDS FEAR SHE CANNOT SURVIVE. Although seriously ill and her recovery a matter of grave doubt, Bessie S. Dunham was married to John T. Lynn, of Indianapolis, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of her father, Edwin O. Dunham, 41 South Sixth street and two hours later the young bride was removed from her bed and taken to Reid Memorial hos pital where a serious operation was performed. The marriage was the culmination of a romance of several months duration. It was the bride's request that the wedding be performed at this time, although the two had planned the event for the fall. The Rev. T. J Graham, pastor of the Fir6t Presby tenan cnurcn. performed the cere mony. Only friends of the family were present. The bride was weak at the time. but was able to stand the ceremony, which was made very simple. The op eration performed this afternoon was the third of a similar nature in the past two weeks. Owing to her weak ness, grave fears are entertained for the success of the operation perform ed today. ST. PAUL OFFICIALS ANGRY AT PIIICHOT Invitation to Conservation Congress Likely to Be Recalled. ' "INSURGENCY" IS EVIDENT REPUBLICANS OF FEAR RESULT OF MINNESOTA TOO MUCH PINCHOT-ISM IN THE POLITI CAL AFFAIRS OF THEIR STATE (American News Service) Washington, July 14. Unless there is a decided change in sentiment, St Paul will withdraw its invitation to the Conservation Congress, which is scheduled to meet in that city on September 6. The threatened break is due to the program arranged by" Gifford Pinchot, which gives undue promto ence to the Insurgents who have been most free in their criticism of the Taft administration. The information re ceived here is to the effect that Minnesota republicans, . including Governor Eberhart, are uneasy over the pros pects of a "split" in the party and are apprehensive that Pinchot's scheme to give prominence to the insurgents may result in strengthening the ranks of the insurgents in Minnesota at a cost to the regulars. President Taft is said to be dis pleased at the undue prominence giv en the insurgents by Pinchot, espec ially the announcement that Attorney Brandeis, who represented Glavis at the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation, is to be one of the principal speakers. An effort is being made to shift the congress to Kansas City. t Senator Nelson, of Minnesota and the Hill railroad influences are said to be the chief factors in the opposi tion to the program that has been pre pared. MEETING IN CHICAGO. Chicago, July 14. Officials of the National Conservation conference who are in session in Chicago with Gifford Pinchot, are maintaining the most rigid secrecy in their meeting. The session was held at the Congress hotel and many of those who attended did not even register. It is said that Pinchot favors Chicago for the congress if it is not held in St. Paul. The meeting today was to try if possible to patch up a truce between the warring factions so that the congress might proceed at St. PauL ASK RELEASE AS BONDSMEN Leonidas H. Bunyan and Samuel W. Gaar, sureties for Dr. C. M. Hamilton in the matter of the guardianship of minor heirs of Anna R. Williams, deceased, have filed a petition in the probate court to be released as his bondsmen. Dr. Hamilton is now a resident of Florida and the local bondsmen do not care to continue the trust. Hamilton was made guardian of the three Williams children on March 14. 1900, soon , after the death of their mother, who was a wen known woman. The estate amounted to several thousand dollars and the guardian was required to give bond in the sum of $8,000. In case the bondsmen are released Dr. Hamilton will have to file m new bond.'

Among the first called were Ralph Crews, counsel for the National Packing com pany; Arthur Colby,, assistant treasurer; Lemuel B. Patterson, vice president; William E. Webster, general auditor; O. G. Snow, secretary; Alonzo M. Benn, director and J. J. Riech, assistant general manager.

CM DIRECTORS MAKE RCTIOli

Special Train With New Officers of the Road Enroute Over C, C. & L. POLICY NOT ANNOUNCED ONLY BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT REGULAR DIRECTORS' MEETINQ YESTERDAY WAS FILLING OF . TWO VACANCIES IN BOARD. Cincinnati. July 14. So far as in formation in which, the general public is concerned the meeting of the board of directors of the Chssapeak and Ohio railroad company of Indiana yesterday morninij was a disappointment. There were no developments indicating the future policy of the new management of the C. C. and I, and no action was taken to assure officials an " , employes of the old Bradford line th, they are to be taken care of as h been promised. The director's meeting which wa held in the office of President Whita er, was a decidedly informal affai ' About the only business transacte was the election of two new directoi to succeed two forced out. J. P. Stf vens and A. L. Ellett resigned apd. i their stead Frank, E. Trumbull an Decatur Axtell were elected. The laf ter represent the strong financial ir. terests which are component parts c the Hawley syndicate. After the meeting Mr. Whitake. stated that nothing beyond mere form alities was recorded in the minutes o' the meeting, as it takes time to worl out a merger proposition-such as U involved in this case. An inspection trip over the C. C and L. was planned and. was begun this morning. A special train took the officials out of Cincinnati about 8 o'clock for a slow trip to Chicago, and the return trip will be made Friday. By that time all the new interests will be assembled in Cincinnati and it is probable that a meeting of the new board of directors will be held here late Friday or Saturday morning. In the meantime nothing will be known as to the future of the properties involved in the proposed merger. It is believed that F. M. Whitaker has the future outlined, but no one else seems to know what the plans are.
