ii . v .u ,u" blHck oft 1110 P of
the North Portland business district,
i ; , , "IB l"oie".v off throe
other Works, and threatened the en
tire district, late yesterday afternoon.
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.

Candidate Taft Was Wcdgv-d Into a
Telephone Booth.
NEW HAVEN, July 28. Wedged
tightly Into a telephone booth at Hot
Springs, Va.. William H. 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.

Oi-uishy's Report Favorable.
Wednesday's Portland Oregouian:
Captain Salmon B. 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.
When asked by Mr. Malarkey If he
A-as undertaking to defraud the gov
rnnient by making the report that
he did, Ornisby replied that hu had
no such intentions "at that time."

they declared that their services

When court convenes this morning
the government will call at a witness
Mrs. 1. Thomas Agee to testify con
cerning the authorship of certain cor
respondence purporting to hnvo been
written by Agee to J. H. Shape, Iu
which nrrnngenients were made for
the exchange by Agee of his Innd lu
the rorest reserve ror the lieu land
which he afterward did acquire and
sell to the lumber company. 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. Single
ton and agreed to make the exchange
and convey the lieu Innd to the

Asked for l y K. J. Ill.ik- ly An In-
It'i-iirba i liiite.
Modford Mull: Onre against has
(lie uld sntijoct of the fiiterurban cl
ei'tric road come to the fore. This
lime It Is R J. 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.
