who acted in the registration will
continue to act as registration offi
cers for ftie purpose stated In respect
to permits for change of residence.
The United States marshal at Port

HAD PEARS TN FRUIT PLANT.
Among those who hod a consign

at Sutherlin, that burned last even

some 200 boxes having recently been
sh ifpped there, which were probably
destroyed by the blaze.

North End of liriilno
' Is Burned.
At about five fifteen this morning
W. J. Pearson discovered that fire
had started In the north end of the
S. P. Co. trestle approach to the steel
bridge spanning the North Umpqua
at Winchester, and an alarm was at
once given. Everybody of the vil
lage responded, and rushing over the
bridge were soon endeavoring to
check the flames, but owing to the
bridge and trestle timbers being full
of oil, dripping from oil tanks und
running gear of oars constantly pass
ing, the structure was highly Inflam
mable and burned fiercely. Water was
carried from the river by a buck.?t
brigade, but the process was so clow
that the flre continued to spread,
threatening to destroy the entire tres
tle, which is probably 800 or 1000
feot long. A call for help was sent
into the S. P. Co. ofllces at Roseburg.
and a switch engine with fire fight
ing apparatus hastily responded. Tin
live mile run was made in record
time, and with assistance of the en-,
elne the fire was very soon put nuder
control. Between 40 and 50 feet or
the trestle was so badly burned that,
it will have to be rebuilt.'
J. R. Wheeler, superintendent of
the Douglas County Light & Water
Co.'s plant at Winchester, stated to
a News representative this morning
that in his mind the fire was undoubt
edly started "by some one bent on -putting
the railroad out of Commission
for a time tit least. The gentleman
alleged that in the absence of the
regular , night man at the powor
house, which commands a clear view
of the railroad bridge and trestle ap
proach, he was on duty himself,
"There had been no train for more
than an hour, and fire f-.rting from
a paBBlng engine would have soon
sprung into a blaze and been noticed
from the power house, because the
glare could not have failed to attract
attention of some one of the em
ployes, who were there.
A crew of bridge carpenters were
placed at work on the trestle Just as
quickly as possible this morning, so
that the dnmage couldl be repaired
sufficiently to allow trains to pass.
The early morning train carrying
mail from Portland was held at a
way station siding to the north, and
all north hound trains were iheld
here until the trestle was made pass
able. RIDDLE VISITED BY
DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE
Residents -of Riddle were startled
from their Blumbers about two o'
clock this morning by an alarm of
fire, which appears to have Btarted
in the Davidson Grocery store, and
by the time the flre department could
got into action the building was a
seething mass of flames, utterly be
yond control. The two story frame
structure, formerly known as tlie
Qulne. confectionery, adjoining the
grocery soon took fire and added to
the difficulty. This founding. -Was
owned by Ed. Soulier. A picture Bhow
establishment in the upyier story of
the Stuller building was the only oc
cupant, and the entire plant was lost,
It. tis understood. O. A. -Housur's
blacksmith shop was next In line, and
was soon discovered to be burning.
A light breeze was blowing, and the
two storv enraire buildlne. situated
on the north side of the street and
directly opposite of. the grocery store.
was saved only by the hardest kind
of work. The front of the garage
was badly scorched, and then: was
constant danger of fire breaking out
on tho roof, as burning embers were
carried quite a distance by the
breeze. A concrete building between
tho blacksmith shop and tho Riddle
Hardware Co. 'a store is thought to
have saved the latter concern from
the flames. A emaH'one story shoe
shop, owned .by James Yokum, was
also destroyed. Losses from the fire
are variously estimated from $5,000
to $7500 dollars. The Davidson gro
cery places Its loss at $2500,

A disastrous fire, starting from
some .unknown cause in the Ever
fresh plant at Sutherlin, shortly alt
er Bix o'clock, last evening, totally
dertrnyed the Institution, besides
many tons of fruit that was either
processed or in course of process. 4
The building, a long frame struc
ture, built especially for the work of
processing fruit and vegetables, was
equipped with driers, through which
heated air circulated over the trays
containing fruit, and in addition
housed a quantity of machinery
necesbury, stood along side tho the
railroad track, and after the fire was
won under way burned like so much
match wood.. Although tho Suthiir
lln fire department made a heroic
fight to check the flames, and citi
zens of the town flocked to the assistance-
of the firemen, the plant
burned to the ground. Everything in
the building was a dead loss, and the
boiler, housed in a separate building,
was the only thing saved from de
struction. Although tho engine w.as
in thn ninln linllrllntr. It la hnllnvarl
that with some repairing It will be fit
for use again, on account of the fact
i that-the' lire department kept a con
stant stream o water playing on the
machinery soctlon. . -
The flre, according to County Com
missioner W. E. St. John, of Suther
lin, who was an oye witness of tho
conflagration, started about the
driers In the center of the building,
and in a , few moments' the whole In
terior of; the structure was a seeth-
lfg I urnoce. While thtj lira 'depart
ment responded nooly, and a line
-pressure of water was had, every ef
fort to save the building proved un
availing. The Intense heat threaten
ed to carry the flre to the Sutherlin
Fruit Growers buildings! near 'by,
and but for the flre department's
watchfulness the flames would have
destroyed much other property. ,-
The Everfresh Company was en
gaged in caring for the blackberry
crop just at this time, and thero
were also Btored some 500 or 600
boxes of pears in the building, most
ly belonging to outside parties. The
institution had a payroll of probably
$2500 per month at till 8 time, and
aside from this loss to the working
people of the community, the addi
tional loss to growers who were sup
plying the produce will be no incon
siderable sum, as they will be unable
to ship advantageously to other
points. . .
There was an Insurance of $25,000
on the buildings and machinery, and
tho loss is estimated anywhere from
$30,000 to $35,000. Much of the
company stock was owned by Ogden,
Utah, parties, and while It Is sup
posed that the plant will be rebuilt
on a larger and better Bcale than
ever, that is a matter that must be
settled by the stockholders.

whole countryside wae called out to

with wet sacks shovels, rakes 'and

of the matter today, Lee .Love, who
was In Rosebnirg, said; that he re

after dinner, and although be was

the town, and the wind was driving
the tire straight toward the Bouthern

of wood had formerly been cut. With
the assistance of some boys and the
local minister, Mr. Love cleared a
pathway and began backfiring, oth

BIG CHANGES TO BE
E
CORVALLIS, Ore., Aug. 30.
That a series , of , revolutionary
changes will have to be made in tho

"Theso Institutions are going to

be a success or a failure and the evi
dence will be of a concrete kind.
The products turned out will be test

In 12 months If the colleges and uni

the beginning of the war, it has been
La war of the accomplishment of the

that In the end we shall not have

Tho new government plan means
that the Oregon Agricultural College
and other Institutions -will become
primarily from now on training

speaker, and for the next few

successful performance of that task.

e In operation and the destruction
o. any one of them UV flre at this
time would result in a great loss, and
while there Is no direct evidence that"
fire UngB are responsible for the
luree fires that originated laBt night,
from this date on a close watch will
be kept on all transients passing
through the city.
