Smoke So Danae That Fireman Could
, Not Sea Juat Where Fire
Waa or What It
Waa. "
Some new thlnga come to light In
connection with Sunday nlght'a fire
when the acene waa vial ted by day
light Monday. It waa plain that the
moat of the fire waa confined to the
back room, where .there waa found an
old mattreaa that had been ablaze.
There waa no place found where there
waa any certainty of lire else wb ere.
When the firemen came upon the
acene the amoke waa pouring out
through . the roof and through the
openlnga from the loft or attlo above
the atore In auch quantity that one
would think the fire muat be in the
attic. The firemen thought tbla and
mounted the roof and cut their way
through Into tho attic. But when
tbey did ao tbey found plenty oi
amoke but no fire. The hose waa
turned into the bole for good luck
and after aoaklng the ceiling the men
were called off the roof.
It la the belief now that had the
firemen been able to aee Just what'to
do they might have taken the mattreaa
and waate out or aoora ana ex
tinguished It there and aaved throw-
inc anv Water on the atoclc at all. The
amoke waa ' ao dense when the fire
men did arrive tttaan one could aee

CLARENCE SIMMONS, A LOCAL
BUILDER WILL DO THE
WORK, COSTING S3000.,
Several weeka ago the crlticlsma of
the condition of the suspension bridge
across the Willamette River at this
point becoming Insistent, and that
there might be no cause for complaint
against bis court, County Judge Beatle
had a bridge expert make an examina
tion of and report on the condition of
that structure. Careful examination
showed the bridge to be la fair con
dition, and not in a dangerous condi
tion, aa the criticising public had
averred. ' -
The recommendation of the. expert
led to a decision to have certain re
pairs made so that the structure may
continue doubly safe. These repairs
will entail an expense of about $3000.
Clarence Simmons, a local builder,
haa been engaged to make the repairs
and will commence at once. Among
tn repairs to be made are new pillars
and reinforcement, as also the laying
of a new floor. When these repair
have been made the -expert . assures
the Court that there can be no danger
in the nse of tbe-brtdge np to a strain
