From the -very start they batted and fielded like fiends,, and everything that the Seattle team' could do could not keep them from win ning, 3 to L It was a good game, as the error column shows, even though the batting was a trifle heavy. Everybody In the crowd, from the small boy that sat on the fence and blew the bugle down to the most en thusiastic fan on the front row in the grandstand, yelled and howled when Zelg ler did some particularly fast base-running, or when Andy Anderson did a clever piece of catching. The Portland team played well together and did all they could to assist each other to win the game, and nothing looks bet ter to the spectators than this kind of ball. From the time that the first ball was thrown over the plate Seattle was on the defensive. Their only score was made in the sixth, an earned run by the hits of Klopf, Drennan, Dalrymple and Campbell, the first-named gentleman mak ing the tally. Portland won In the first, and for seven long Innings a big 2 was the only figure on the scoreboard. Muller hit, and "Van Buren made first on an error of HIckey. Muller going on to second. Zelgler made another nice hit, and Muller went on to third, but he went out a moment later when "Weed knocked a fly in his direction. A run by Muller would have looked good on the board. It was not until after An derson knocked a liner over second that Zelgler and "Van Buren came home and made the tallies that won the game. "Weed was left on second, and Andy on first, and It seemed as if something would be doing besides the first two, but Mur dock fanned and Delsel flew out to Hur ley and ended the chances that act. When the laddie at the scoreboard reached down In his little box and hauled out a re splendent figure .2 the little boys yelled and Edgar Coursen rubbed his head in a. way that bespoke "That looks nice to me." .. - . - . . . Wth the exception of Anderson's great try for Drennari's fly in the third; and Zelsler's beautiful double, unassisted., in the fourth, there was nothing doing till: me sixtn, wnea u looked as though Se attle might get a couple more than the one she had. Klopf made his earned run with only Drennan out, Dalrymple on third and Campbell on first. Seattle took spirits with this scene, "but felt sick again when Stanley forced Campbell out Dalrymple saw that It was up to him to tie tne score, and he tried to steal home. The ball went straight to Sammy's mlt. and Dally started back to third. Sammy followed along behind, and got half way wnen ne tossed the ball to Zeijfler. Dallv started for home again, and his long legs stretched out, but little Zelgler was no Eioucn on his feet, and thoush the Se attle man had a good lead, he was tagged out before he could get over the plate and make his run. Zelgler did some of the fastest sprinting ever seen on the local diamond, and earned the generous ap plause that followed his little stunt. In the eighth Zelgler indulged In some more of his fleet footwork and outran the ball to home, making the third score for Portland. Sammy Vlgneux is out of the game for a fow days on account of blood-poisoning that has developed In his right hand, where he was scratched by a spoke while in Montana. The disease had not reached a bad stage, however, and the only bad result is his enforced absence from his position behind the bat. Shea, who has shown up well, with the exception of a few occasions, will do the catching until Sammy gets the use of his hand again. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. PO. A. K.

IS LAID LOW BY FIRE (Continued from First Page.) ty roads from Troutdale to Sprlngwater, and thence to Dodge postofilce. Highland and Oregon City, ycoterday, says that the Sprlngwater region Is one great field of desolation. He drove 45 miles yesterday In a buggy, and half that distance was along Toads with timber burning on both sides. Much of the distance he had to make short rapid flights In order to escape the flames, the heat was so intense that his mustache was singed. He braved many dangers in order to carry messages from places where relief Is neededr' While he could not get to Viola, ho feels certain that place has been entirely destroyed, and that unless? rain comes at once Highland will be wiped out by fire. The people In all the burned districts are helpless and must have assistance from the outside to keep them from suf fering as a result of their losses. Horses, barns, fences, crops and livestock have been destroyed, though many succeeded by heroic effort In saving something. At Sprlngwater the first loss was the burning of the Presbyterian church and parsonage, about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The village sdemed to become the center of a great whirlwind of fire IRATE, ENTERED FOR THE SALEM DERBY. Irate, the promlMnc; 4-ycar-old of Mr. "Whetstone, of Heppner, won the Dominion day handicap at "Vancouver, B. C, recently, and is entered for the Salem Derby at the state fair, which will open at Salem Monday. Last year Irate proved her ability on the turf against many old-tlmc favorites, and she won a reputation In the 1- and l-mlle dashes. In the Derby of 1ft miles rtie is an eager candidate for the $1000 purse. and smoke and falling firebrands. The most strenuous efforts could not save these buildings, and attention was given to dwellings. Another heavy loss was that of 120.000 feet of shingles belonging to W. J. Llew cllen, the storekeeper. Llewellen's store was saved, as also was the Lovelace store and the Grange Kali. Nearly all other dwellings, barns and granaries in the vi cinity were burned. When he left there, yesterday forenoon, the Schilling man had learned the names of the following per sons whese homes and outbuildings are a complete loss: v James Marchbank, H. E. Cross. George Cunningham, Mrs. Albright (widow), W. T. Smith, John Stormer. S. H. Raney, B. Tucker, T. Strlte, George Reed, W. H. Candle, Will Snyder. Widow Charter, Wil liam M. Kendall. A. M. Shibley, William Bard and John Reed. Farmers who sustained partial losses are as folldws: Sam Warnock, dwelling; John Llcwellen, threshing barn; W. N. -Warnock, two barns burned, house saved; Robert Gutrldge, barn and granary j burned, house saved; W. J. Llewellen, i barn and crops lost, house saved; E. J. j Bowen, S00 bushels of grain burned: D. C. i Howell, separator burned, engine saved; D. Rldgeway, barn burned, house saved, James Gutridge, barn and outbuildulngs lost house saved: F. H. Whitehead, barn and outbuildings burned, house saved; j Carl Howell, three barns burned, house saved; C. S. Bard, barn bumed, houtse saved Al Carey, house and all outbuild ings burned, except granary; Frank Mil lard, barn burned; W. L. Coroett, gran ary burned: Edward Clausner, barn j burned; Dr. Wallens, stable burned, house I saved; James Shibley, barn burned, house j saved. j At uouge posioince mo ionuwing nave sustained total losses of all buildings: John Goble. Joseph Keller, Edward Mil ler; Mrs. Reed (widow). Mrs. Gordon (widow), M. L. Breldensteln, J. T. Mey ers, F. Bush. The Meyers & Son's sawmill at Dodgo was also o. total loss, and many farmers were burned out whose names could not be learned. The destruction is still going i on In the region surrounding Dodge,, Into which the fire Is rapidly spreading. No valuation could be placed upon the j property destroyed, for the owners i could ' not In many cases, be found. The farm- , houses average In, cost about $600 each, the barns $100 to J200, and outbuildings , minor amounts. From Information that i could be gained it seemed that about one- ' fourth of the people carried insurance, and these only about one-half the value of their buildings, so that the insurance . will cover not to exceed 12 per cent of . the loss to buildings. Fences are practi cally a total loss, and few orchards es- caped the killing heat The barns were nearly all filled with new hay and feed, prepared for Winter use, and the farmers ', are left without feed for their stock. j All p'ut forth their greatest efforts to , save their houses and many have their . homes left, but their farms are ruined. Livestock running In wooded pastures was killed, and the stock that has escaped death Is free to run in gardens and fields ' where the fences have bsen destroyed. I The Oregonlan's informant could not ' get within sight of the village of Viola, because of the heat and emoke, but from tho terrific roar of the lire he feels cer tain, the town must have been burning when he passed. Highland Is entirely . surrounded by Are and cannot possibly j escape unless rain stops the flames. When he passed through the town of Logan, the streets were crowded with wagons and carriages. In which families had come In from their farms, bringing such of their belongings as they could lead upon the wagons In their haste to : escape the fiery deluge. All along the 1 roads for miles there was strewn furni- ' ture, crockery and bedding that fell from the wagons as the teams Were galloped ', alone the roads In the flight from threat- j ened destruction. I Ajs an example of the Intensity of tho j heat one farmer reports that he left home 1 with his buggy tied -behind his wagon, j He drove rapidly along the narrow roada r 'hoping to escape with this much of his t property, but the buggy caught Are and ; he found he could not save It He cut It loose and put his horses to the gallop again to save himself. No loss of human life hao yet been re ported In the Sprlngwater region, but it Is feared that men who were cutting wood or otherwise working or hunting In some of, the canyons may be surrounded by flro belore. they. learn of their danger and be burned to death. George Cunningham came in from Sprlngwater this afternoon and was forced to flee for his life. His wife was taken from a sick bed and brought to this city in a wagon. They lost every thing they possessed. Cunningham's property adjoins the new power station of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company and it Is feared that this has also been consumed by the flames. Harvey Cross place also adjoins Cun ningham's place and that has probably been burned. Al Lacey's farm Is de stroyed and many other valuable farms have been devastated, .among them Myera', Gable's, Mrs. Gordon's, Mrs. Calzer Baron's. Ed Miller's, A. .Habclt's, Brldenstine's. Meyers & Son's sawmill is burned. Frank Busch's fine country home Is swept en tirely away, and Mr. and Mrs. Bertllsen, who were living on his place, became crazed with fright and had to be dragged from the Are to save them from death. Surveyor-General Henry Meldrum Is at Sprlngwater and telephoned to the city, this afternoon for a team, saying that he wanted to get away quickly while there was yet time. NO FIRES IN CASCADE RESERVE. Superintendent Ormsby Ascribes the Many Blazes to Carelessness. SALEM, Or., Sept 12. (Special.) Cap tain S. B. Ormsby, superintendent of Ore- WINNER OF DOMINION-DAY HANDICAP gon's forest reserve, when seen tonight, said that the Arcs have not yet reached the reserve. Superintendent Ormsby has not been notified of any late Ares In the reserve. Several serious fires existed a few "weeks ago within the boundaries of the reserve, but in every instance they were promptly extinguished. The only point In the reserve where Captain Orms by believes a Are can exist at jils time is east of Sprlngwater, Clackamas County. That section Is In closer proximity to the burning district than is any other part of the reserve. Captain Ormsby says theAres that are causing the smoke exist entirely In the brush arid timbered district outside of the resorve, and thnt they originated largely from the carelessness of farmers In burn ing brush and slashings. Unless rain or volunteer fire-fighters check the progress of the fires, the forest reserve will eventu ally be reached by the flames. Superintendent Ormsby has direct means of communicating with the forest rang ers. The mails are employed for the transmission of reports and . orders, and In case of flres, rangers are not supposed to abandon .their work for any cause. This part of the service Is unsatisfactory, as more direct means of communication should be provided. A mistaken Idea exists as to the location and extent of Oregon's forest reserve. While It embraces 4.SOO.0OO acres of finely timbered lands, It occupies but a small part of the map of the state. The reserve Includes the extreme Eastern sections of Clackamas, Marlon and Linn Counties; the east half of Lane, Douglas and Jack son Counties, and narrow strips In Mult nomah, Wasco and Crook Counties. This dislodges the popular Idea that the for est reserve includes all timbered districts of the state. The most serious flres In this county are reported In Mehama and Silver Creek Falls districts, about 30 miles from this city. An extensive Are Is also reported on the north fork of the Santlam River. NO DAMAGE AT ASTORIA. Fires In Snrroundlng Country May Develop Unless Rain Conies. ASTORIA. Or.. Rpnt 1?Thft rrM- ence of so much smoke, coupled with numerous rumors of extensive forest fires in the outlying districts, has caused a general belief that an Immense amount of damage had been done, but so far as can be learned the loss In thl3 Immediate vi cinity has been small, though the danger Is not yet passed, and more serious dam age may result If rain does not come soon. Last night Are threatened Masten's log ging camp, near Svcnsen. but a telephone message from there this afternoon st?.tes that the flames are under control, the only loss being the scorching of 1CO.C0O feet of logs and the burning of one or two bridges on the logging railway. About 5.000.COO feet of logs were on the ground, and It was feared for a time that they would be burned. Early yesterday afternoon Masten leaded his donkey engines on cars and hauled them down to the river for safety. A force of railway graders who were In the same vicinity were com pelled to leave their work, but they lost nothing. Small flres exist on the Nehalem, Pipe Line and Lewis and Clark roads, but so far the damage has been sflght. Word re ceived from Fort Columbia this afternoon Is to the effect that the fire which raged in the hills back of there Is subdued and no longer threatens- tho tort or barracks buildings. On Deep River and Crooked Creek, on the north side of the Colum bia, quite extensive fires are said to be burning. The locality Is heavily tlmborcd, but how much damage has been done can not be ascertained. The steamer Vangunrd. arriving this afternoon, reports that the fire at Oak Point still continues, and that the camp of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com pany near Skamokawa has been entirely destroyed. A report from Long Beach says that the -forest between Lo'omls Sta tion and Ilwaco is In. flames, and that several cottages are In danger. Officers of the steamer Nahcotta, arrlV Ing from Ilwaco this evening, report that the fire at Long Beach Is still burning, but no cottages have been destroyed. TILLAMOOK IS NOW SAFE. Wind Shifts and Fire-Fighters Rest Schoolhouse Bnrned. TILLAMOOK. Sept. 12. (Special.) The wind has shifted and Tillamook Is rib longer threatened,wlth destruction by for est flres. Excitement Is still at fever pitch, but with a cold wind blowing from the ocean, and Indications of rain, the flre-flghters are taking arrest today. The Sand Lake Schoolhouse was de stroyed today. ' A fierce fire Is burning there, and also at Dolph and Woods, and that part of the country Is at furnace heat The most destructive fire Is that which started on the Wilson River, in green timber, but what the damage has been cannot yet be estimated. Should the weather remain dry, considerably more timber Is likely to be destroyed. The fire situation last night was alarm ing, with blinding smoke and intense heat all over the country. The fire roared so fiercely In the mountains for six hours that it was heard in this city and for miles around, resembling the roar of the ocean. Farmers In the neighborhood of the foothills were fighting fire all night, and many farmhouses and barns had close calls. Two barns were burned east of here, with about 30 tons of hay, be longing to Ed Donaldson and William Hughey. Between here and Bay City, the fire threatened to destroy several cream eries and farmhouses,, but assistance was sent from hero and disaster averted. COBURG FIRE BEYOND CONTROL. Raging Flames In Lane County For ests Doing Much Damage. EUGENE, Or.. Sept 12. (Special.) Da- structlve flres are destroying valuable timber In all directions. Near Coburg a large fire Is. beyond control. Below Hen Jrlcks' Ferry Is the largest fire yet re ported, and It Is now burning furiously in the large timber on both sides of the Mc Kenzle River. Near Leaburg a log chute belonging to G. Nettle has been burned out and several hundred dollars' worth of timber Is already destroyed. On the Slus Iaw there are flres near Tallman's and Bailey's, but the worst are near Maple ton, and from there to the coasb valuable timber Is bleng burned. It Is said that most of the fires started from fires put out to burn slashings, which got beyond control. SWAMPING TIMBER BEFORE FIRE. Booth-Kelly Sawmill Men Trying to Save Valuable Timber. WENDLING. Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) The Wendllng crew of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company was called from the mill today to fight fir. In the timber be longing to the company, five miles above the mill. The fire is making strong head way in some of the company's best tim ber, and all the men are now at work swamping the timber In advance of the fire in the hope of checking Its progress. Timber Burning in Jackson Connty. A. McKcrcher, a clerk In Dekum's hard ware store, returned yesterday from a fishing and hunting expedition in Jack son and Douglas Counties. He says that fires are burning In the timber in that section of the state, especially in the forests at the head of Rogue and Umpqua Rivers. While standing on the summit of Abbott Butte. In Douglas County. Mc Kcrcher counted seven forest fires within a radius of about 14 miles. Some of the flres were very active and were blazing up the hillsides .where good lumbering timber was abundant Other fires were smoldering but giving out lots of smoke. Two of the flres were very bad ones and gave evidence of spreading rapidly. In returning from Fish Lake McKercher and a companion had to hurry as' fast as they could for seven hours In order to get away from the heat of the fire. They met two Jackson County men who reported having been compelled to . He In the cold waters of Elk Creek four hours, with only their faces exposed, and I they had to splash water on their faces j to protect them irom tne neat. McKercher says that It seems Improb able that the fires he saw had their origin j In camp fires, for some of the flres were I In places where hunters do not go. While he was there the wind was very light. and the fires did not seem to be spread Ing rapidly. In Western Burton County. Report was received from Corvallls yesterday that a fire Is raging near ' Mary's Peak, in the Coast Range Moun tains. The burning timber Is southwest j of Corvallls and near the headwaters of ( the Alsea. The timber now burning Is . supposed to be valuable for lumbering J purposes, though too far back for pres ent use. Fires Along the Columbia. Men who arrived In Portland yesterday j from up the Columbia say that fire was I raging In the hills on both side of the i Columbia from Bridal Vail to Hood River. In most places the timber was ; of poor quality and no great loss" will result but In one or two places valuable timber was burned. Wllholt Springs Threatened. WILHOIT SPRINGS, Or.. Sept. 12. (Special.) Terrible forest fires are re ported as rasing In the viclnltv of Wil- holt Springs. Citizens of Scott's Mills and Marquam are" out In force fighting to save threatened buildings near the springs, j The smoke Is so dense that darkness came on at o:30 o clock this evening.
