It was the Portland players turn to
win yesterday, and they put up pennant
winning ball to do it. 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:

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

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

1XANAGER. THE OLD ST. LOUIS DISPF.NSAR1
Cor. Sesciid anil Yamhill Sts,, Portland. Oi
Look here, young man, if you suffer from any of the
weakening effects of disease caused by your boyish pranks
and contagion or you may have been swindled by quack
doctors, but don't forget the fact that you must be cured, it
never gers well itself, the drain and losses continue and
unless stopped wilHand you with thousands of others in the
asylum or the grave. A great number of divorce cases if the
underlying cause could be investigated would be found to
be the incompatibility of- physical conditions. The time is
coming when it will be necessary for a medical and physical
examination before a marriage certificate is granted. The
weakness and diseased condition of people will make such a
course indispensable for protection to the children of future
generations. Already the physical condition of every do
mestic animal is carefully graded up except cats and human
beings. Many young men have consulted old Dr. Kessler
before getting married. Good health insures happiness in
this world.
Women We desire to say to the woman we know from
many years' experience that many are suffering untold agony
from complicated diseases that this old St. Louis Dispensary
treats hundreds. The ladies' department is full all day dur
ing office hours. We can refer to many whose-life was a
drag of pain and nervousness until we cured them. Private
rooms for ladies. If you can't call write your condition.
Our home system of treatment has cured hundreds. Address
with ten 2-cent stamps.
