A..i I... 1. -.-auk. tkfl mm il uui iuiu uvw.v u-w, land formerly being the farms of Strohacker, Gruell Brothers, Lasch & Storm. This is considered one of the finest pieces of apple land in the county, and the company has gone to much expense in having the ground cleared of trees, brush and stumps. A stump puller arrived in this city Saturday and was taken to Redland, and work will commence at once pull Ine some of tbe remaining stumps The drag saw, wblcb was recently purchased by the company, will cut 45 cords of wood a day. Ola trees that have been removed and 500 cords of wood have been cut, and 300 more will be cut. This is being done by the workmen, who are engaged in clearing the acreage. As soon as the trees have been cut, the roots are taken out of the ground, and here one finds some of the richest soil In Clackamas county, which will produce the best fruit and vegetables. Tbe company last year planted more than 1.000 frut trees, and between tnese trees potatoes have been planted. Many persons from Portland visuea these tracts last Sunday with the In tention of buying, the company tak ing the visitors out in automobiles. It is the intention of the company to have an automobile In this city in the near future, and Oregon City will be the main distributing station. This will tend to increase tbe population of Clackamas county when this acreage is disposed of. The company owning this land will make a specialty of Inducing Easterners to come here to settle, on the ground that has al ready been planted to fruit trees of the choicest kinds, and to potatoes, i D.

Behind control and sweeping wltb Irresisti ble fury through the timber east of this city, fire today threatens nearly every logging camp and town In this vicinity. Already hundreds of persons have been forced to flee for their lives, one logging camp and several railway bridges have been burned and thousands of dollars' damage to tim ber and property In general has been done. Fanned by a strong east wind, a small fire which had been kept under control at camp No. 6, on the Curtlss Lumber Company's logging railroad, eight miles southeast of this city, sud denly started wltb renewed energy Sunday afternoon and In a few hours attained such proportions that tbe 140 . persons In the camp were forced to flee for their lives. Their escape was narrow, and while some took the trail to Gates, the oth ers, among whom were many men with families, were brought to Mill City by the logging train. Though menaced on either Bide by the burning forests and by burning trees falling across the right of way the train made two trips to camp six before escape was cut off. It Is not believed any lives have been lost, though one man has not reported. It Is thought that he may have escaped by way of the Gates trail or taken refuge on a nearby ranch.
