Property worth approximately ';, 000 1 was destroyed, property repre senting nearly 1,000. 000 was act ually scorched and property worth well Into the millions was within the dancer zone. The fact that a line of brick build ups blocked the course of the flames until the fire department had an op portunity to concentrate Its fo'rres at the weak points, accounts for the lim iting of the flames to five blocks. Mystery as to Origin. Cause of the Are Is not yet clear. There are several theories incen diarism, spontaneous combustion In a loft of new hay. dropping of a match or cigarette, flying sparks from o chimney. The origin was traced to the middle of the Oregon Transfer Company's place at Fifth and Gllsan streets. The fire popped up with a sudden ness that attends the lighting of a ens Jet. Some smoke was seen on the roof of the Oregon Transfer Com pany's place about 4:45 o'clock. Fif teen minutes later the roof had given place to a great column of flames. Fanned by a strong wind from the northwest, the column of flames pas sed quickly from building to build ing. Gaining Impetus from the big frame building and tons of hny and other combustible matter, the fire quickly leaped across the street to the Northern Pacific Wagon Works, where there was another great array of fuel, and sweeping this, passed on through the block rrom Fifth to the blind west wnll of the Union .Meat Company's place. Leaps .Across Two Streets. Checked here. It concentrated ts fury, as if with an Intelligence of its own, and leaped Into the block north of tllisan street and then jumped Fifth and worked both east and west. When, at Grllo o'clock, it had run Its course and given way before n small river that had been poured on from a score of nozzles, a sad picture of disaster lay all about. The whitk block bounded by Fifth, Sixth. Gllsan and Hoyt streets was a heap of smok ing debris. Nearly all the west hnl! of the block bounded by Fourih Fifth, N6llsan and Hoyt streets was gone; all frame buildings were in ruins between Fourth. Fifth, Glisnn and Flanders. The block between Fifth and Sixth and Gllsan and Flan ders was atmost gone. The Harr hotel, in the block souih of the Kternnn property, made the most spectacular fire of any building In the district'. The brick hotel war completely gulled by the names; the loss to the property being about (95, 000. Fifty thousand people thronged the entire North End district and watched the progress of the fire. Fire lines were established and people surged as near as possible, packing the streets where the lines were stretched so densely that a panic would have resulted lu serious loss of life. Fire apparatus had dilliciilty in getting through, and several times the police had to charge the curious multitude and clear passageways for the liremen. SAWKll III.M HI T.

Taft was taken out only after long delay and after a carpenter had sawed away part of the booth, according to a let ter received yesterday from George Hush, superintendent of the tele phone company at Hot Springs. Mr. Hush writes that Taft went Into the booth, which is of ordinary size, and could not worm his way out when he had finished his talk. He called for help, but the hotel car penter had to be procured to remove part of the booth before the nominee for president was released. A spcial mammoth booth has been built since, the contractor first taking physical measurements of Mr. Taft. (JOVEKXOH ITTI.KK OUTS. SALT LAKE CITY. Hah. July 2. Governor John C.

Ormshy, ex-forest superintendent and himself twice in dicted for conspiracy, was the prin cipal witness for the government in the Booih-Sngletou conspiracy case yesterday. It was Ornisby who. in November, 1902, made a report to the commissioner of the general land olllce at Washington recommending that the application of 1. Thomas Agee to exchange his squatter's claim In the Cascade forest reserve for the lieu land which was' subsequently sold to the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com pany be granted. Ormsby's report to the department represented that Agee had entered on he land in good faith. and had com plied with the land laws as to settle ment and cultivation. While testify ing for the government yesterday, the witness said that he never visited -he claim of Agee and that his report vas based altogether on information ind affidavits furnished him by J. H. Shu lie, attorney for Agee, and other rlends of the applicant. Knew Nothing About It. On cross-examination, Mr. Mnlar liey gained from Ornisby the adinls ion that neilhor of the throe del'end mts had ever spoken to him or com nunlcated willi hlm regarding his ro mrt on the Agee claim and that all of he negotiations In that connection vere conducted, either with Agee or hrotigh Agee's attorney, Shiipo.

Counsel for Ihe defence contended that those t-reticrs were written by Mrs. Agee at ine request and under the dlrctlon of her husband, but the representatives or the government would not aduill the fact. The authorship of the let ters is of considerable Importance, for the reason Hint they were written prior to the time Agee has test Hied that he first talked with T. E.

Illnkoly who will nsk tho city emitiril for a franclilse rn Seventh street and Central avenue. Mr. ltlnkely proposes, In case he Is granted a franchise, to have the rails laid on Seventh Btreet before the pavement Is put down. It Is proposed at the present time to connect Ashland, Jacksonville and Medford with an Internrban trolley line to Central Point, Gold Hill and other towns of tho valley. Mr. Hlakely has been associate.! for some time with A. Welch,- the builder of the Willamette valley lines and It Is thought that at the present time he Is here in his interests, al though Mr. Hlakely states that he is asoclaled with Cleveland, Ohio, in terests. Several limes has the subject of a trolley line hyeu broached by differ ent interests, but something has al ways risen to cause the matter to fall through. Such a line, If It connected all the 'cities of the vnlley, would be a paying investment, but none of the dties of the vnlley would be large enough to support a local system. Such a lino means much towards the development and settlement of I Ills valley, as it means greatly In creased facilities in getting about. Offer of Water Supply.
