ting vii'ultf be desirable to form
i turee congressional districts. This
would practically permit Portland and
a few close-tn counties to form a sep-
. arate district. As long as eastern
Oregon Is linked up with Portland, we
can never exactly tell Just where we
. Are at. However, since the second dis
trict has been organized, Portland has
never stepped In, because of her large
! Vote, and captured the congressional
nomination. She has demanded and
secured the naming of' United States
senators, but even if she could under
the primary nominating system, plead
' not guilty to this.
Timely arrival of the fire depart
ment, but above all, fortunate atmos
pheric conditions, are responsible for
the intactness of a whole residence
block, on First street, between Malts
and Washington avenues. About 2:30
this morning, fire was discovered be
tween the outhouse and woodshed, of
the E. V, Davis property, at the cor
ner of First and Main. Pedestrians
awoke Mr. Sllverthorn, who recently
moved into the place, and when he
emerged on the scene it was only to
find the building beyond the saving
point. Engines in the O. R. & N. yards
saw the blaze and let loose a populace-
awakening blast. The fire bell pealed
out Its weak alarm on the early morn
ing air, and In a very short time two
streams of water were playing on the
Davis house. To attempt to save the
woodshed and outhouse was futile, and
the large residence needed Immediate
attention. Garden hose was brought
into play until the more efficient
streams of water were pumped on the
scorcnea residence. The damage to
the residence alone la considerable.
There Is no insurance on the de
stroyed buildings which are valued at
$125; but one cord of wood was con
sumed.' '.' j.....'
The air was still or else the fire
would have been conflagration. So
close was the ble to the Davis house
that prompt action alone saved the
building. Had a wind been blowing
In the right direction the J. C. Clancy
residence, the John Shea property and
h l''?r5 SctfW vvjriy would now
haye been In ashes.
The origin is a mystery. Mrs, Sil-
yerthorn had emptied a shovel of wood
ashes in close proximity to the out
house, but on the opposite side from
where the fire started. No credence
Js given the theory 'that the wood ashes
were left smoldering and eventually
Ignited the buddings, as the aahet
were dumped there In the morning
previous, ... .
