SPRINGFIELD, Or., July 29.
Fire, entailing a loss which will to
tal more than a quarter of u million
dollars, last night destroyed the
Booth-Kelly Company's saw mill,
planing mill, dryer and S.OOO.Onn
feet of lumber.
Only a sudden change of the hlgn
wind, which shifted the flames then
rapidly sweeping toward the city,
saved Springfield from what, for a
time, looked like total destruction.
As a result of the conflagration
Springfield, Eugene Halsey and
Brownsville are without electrical
power or light tonight and Spring
Held Is without any water supply.
That Springfield had a closo call
to destruction Is evidenced by the
fact that Just before the wind shtft-

feet of a Southern Pacific oil tank
containing 1,000 gallons of oil, wHitch
was within 150 feet of a larger tank
