Five Others Injured.

Not Touched In Conflagration

THE CAUSE.
One floor of tha Mack bulldlnc, in
which the disastrous Are started at
Aberdeen, was occupied - by bachelors
in reduced circumstances, who used
gasoline stot'es to cook meals prepared
by themselves. It is alleged that these
men "were very careless In the use of
the easily combustible oil. "When the
Are w as first discovered the upper
'story of the Mack bulldlnc was all
ablaze. With tho exception of the
Kaufman block tho district swept over
by the flames was built up with frame
structures, that were eaten up very
rapidly.
ABERDEEN, Oct 16. (Special.)-Seven
solid blocks, embracing-- very business
house of prominence in Aberdeen, a large
number of dwellings, the Opera-House,
the Central School building, the Edison
and OlVmpus Theaters, the Crescent
Hotel, the Pacific Hotel, the new flro de
partment headquarters, the Council
Chamber, tho Are alarm system, every
law office, and a hospital all were in
cluded In a district covered by a flro
whloh started this forenoon in tho Mack
block on Hume street The loss is .esti
mated at not less than 1,090,000, and
the insurance Is. not-more than one
third. There were four fatalities from falling
-wads and suffocation and Ave other per
sons were slightly injured. All the build
ings burned, except the Kaufman block,
wero of wood, and only vacant areas! of
land here and there prevented the entire
town from being fuel for tho flames.
The Dead nnd Injured.
The death list is as follows:
CHARLES RALFO.
DANIEL WEBSTER.
CALVIN McKENZIB.
UNKNOWN MAN. I
The Injured-John Steen, kicked in head by
runaway horse; J. D. Hansen, head and body
bruised; A Bretberg, head cut; H. W. Lacey,
kicked In the head by runaway horse; John
Mills, Hoqulom, Injured in the foot; William
Oglesby. partly suffocated.
The lire started in the Mack block, a
three-story structure, occupied by impov
erished bachelors, who cooked their meals
on small oil stoves. In one of these
rooms a blaze was seen but Defore the
department got to work the interiir was
a. mass of. flames. Two lives were lost
in the building.
The Are Jumped from this building to
tho Are department headquarters, a now
buUding, with a high tower on G street
Then it crossed the alley and destroyed
all the buildings on the south side of
Heron street between F and G, and par
tially ruined all those on the north side
of Heron. Then it Jumped across G street
and burned every building, on Heron be
tween G and I and Hand K and two
blocks north and south, an east wind
carrying burning embers in every direc
tion. Goods Taken From Buildings.
The business men and people were panic-stricken
and goods were removed from
all the buildings destroyed and from every
residence within a radius of 20 blocks.
The excitement was at the greatest ten
sion, there not being sufficient wagons to
get goods away from the Are and the fact
that so little Insurance was carried made
the condition the more aggravating. Hie
lack of sufficient hose and the failure of
the big new engine to work properly kept
tho Fire Department from saving prop
erty and dynamite was used at several
points to stop the progress of the Are.
The arrival of the departments of Mon
tcsano and Hoqulam and a large corps of
volunteers from each place helped mate
rially in getting the Are under control
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The fortun
nate circumstance of the Are is that no
mill property was burned and no one
is thrown out of employment except
store clerks and this will be but tempo
rarily. A Blessing In Disguise.
While the fire .will be severely felt by
all business men it is looked upon in
one cense as being auspicious for the fu
ture of the city as the Council will es
tablish a Are district and permit only
the erection of brick and stone buildings.
Among the heaviest losers are: N. G.
Kaufman, Charles Vesey and George
"Wolf, large dry goods dealers; Griggs &
Smith, hardware men, the State Bank and
the Bank of Hayes & Hayes, all the res
taurant men in the city, 13 Anely equipped
saloons, the three well-equipped Jewelry
stores of E. H. Pfund, Burnett Bros; the
clothing-houses of F. Vogel, James Fuller
and George' Fischer; the drug stores of
Evans &. Co., Smits Company and F. E.
Olson; the art store of Norln & Hartung,
the grocery' house of F. Becker, the Aber
deen Grocery Company, and the new gro
cery house of Gabrielson & Holmes.
Professional Men Burned Out.
In addition to these are dentists, law
yers and real estate men and other per
sons living in the upper stories. The
Gray's Harbor Electric Car Company will
lose $3000 by burned tracks and the tele
graph,, telephone and electric light com
panies by burned wires and apparatus.
The city will lose at least $20,000 with
an insurance of about $3000.
The city's loss Includes its Council
Chamber, 400 feet of hose, an engine
house, schoolhouse. Are alarm system,
and a large amount of planked streets.
The Opera-Hou3e destroyed "was recent
ly rebuilt at a cost of $5000 and the Gray's
Harbor Hospital Association loses -a
building, partially constructed and a lot
of building material.
Tonight a largo number of deputy po
licemen are on duty and the homeless
are being taken ' care of. The city is
lighted by .the flames of many piles of
debr's and thousands of visitors are here
from all parts of the Gray's Harbor and
the Sound country.
Citizens In a Panic.
Men, women and children, ran every
way with what goods they could carry.
Many women and children were'ln tears
and several men were being carried
along with blood streaming from their
faces. All sorts of reports concerning the
death or injury of well-known business
men contributed to the distress.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Are was
under control and persons whose prop
erty had been In the track of the advanc
ing flames breathed easier and the stam
pede of horses and people was Anally over
and the collection of wits and goods be
gan. The following Is a list of the princi

Now, transfers are allowable as

OREGONIAST NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct 16. (Special.) The fight
for tho repeal or radical modifica
tion of tho timber and stone, desert land
and homestead commutation laws, begun
in the last Congress, is to be renewed
with vigor early In the coming session.
A number of "Western Senators and Rep
resentatives have been conferring with
the Interior Department with a view to
preparing bills, to amend the existing
laws. Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, chairman of the public lands
committee, and one of the most influ
ential men Interested in public land prob
lems, Is one of the men urging reforms.
The department Is not prepared to pre
sent substitutes for the laws now on the
statutes,, ,but v prefers to defer .to tho
-wisheT) vo - Congress. The department's
only desire is to have the laws so
amended as to prevent land speculation
and exploitation by corporations, and to
encourage the settlement of the public
domain by bona fide homeseekers.
Timber Lands to llisliest Bidder.
Senator Hansbroilgh favors the repeal
of the timber and stone act, and the sub
stitution of a law authorizing the sale of
public timber lands at auction. He also
advocates amendment of the desert land
act, but believes the commutation clause
of the homestead act should not be al
lowed to stand. Early in the session he in
tends to offer a bill embodying his views.
His bill will provide for the sale to the
highest bidder of public timber lands, in
tracts not exceeding 330 acres, the stand
and value of the timber to be estimated
by Government experts prior to sale. At
present timber lands are sold for $2.50 an
acre. Under .the Hansbrough bin no
person or corporation could purchase
more than one tract.
Desert Bntrymen Must Prove Pp.
Senator Hansbrough proposes to amend
the desert land law by adding a provision
prohibiting the assignment, by an entry
man, of his desert right prior to making
final proof. As the law now stands an
entryman can assign as soon as the filing
is made.
"If my amendment prevails," says Sen-
THE MODERN "ELIJAH"
JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIB.
ator Hansbrough, "It will have the effect
of making the desert land entryman
practically a three-year homesteader, be
cause he -will be required to live on his
land and -make" Improvements for three
years - before making . proof, and- he, can
make no assignment during that time.
"The Interior Department ha3 recently
brought about the indictment of about 100
men in Montana, who were engaged In
attempts to make fraudulent desert
proofs. This demonstrates, that the land
laws. In the main, are all-right, and if
the Interior Department will continue to
enforce them there will'be no Just complaint."

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE.
NEW YORK. Oct. 16. The "Restoration
Host" under the leadership of John
Alexander Dowie, garrisoned Madison
Square Garden today and completed
preparations to sally forth tomorrow op
the works of the "enemy."
The first detachment, numbering about
400, arrived early In the morning, and tl
remaining trains followed during the day
and evening. Leaving the ferryboat tha
crusaders boarded special cars which
were in waiting and proceeded direct to
the Garden, to the music of their bands
and the singing of hymns.
As soon as the first cars started tha
crowd on board began singing a hym.i
and a large crowd of curious spectators
gathered around those waiting outside
the ferry-house. Men In the Dowle party
distributed tracts. The men were all
dressed in uniform resembling that worn
by the United States Infantry, but the
women did not wear uniforms. The crowd
around the ferry-house grew so largo that
it blocked the street and police drove the
spectators back to the curb.
The general overseer himself, accom
panied by his family and staff, arrived
In his special train at the Grand Central
Station, where, owing to a misunder
standing, his private carriage failed to
meet him and h was compelled to go tc
the Plaza Hotel in a hack.
Mrs. Dovrie Is Robbed.
During the confusion of leaving tha
train, a thief slipped Into Mrs. Dowle's
reception room on the car and stolo a
51500 diamond and pearl brooch.
From the Plaza Dr. Dowle went to tho
Garden, where he restored order out of
the general confusion that prevailed and
outlined "his plans in an interview with
the newspaper men. He denied that ho
Intended to raise a fund of 130,000,000
while here and declined to say whether
he was going to found another Zlon City
here. It is Intended to begin the house-to-house
visitations tomorrow, and the
first public service will be held in the
Garden on Sunday.
One of the features of the party was the
Junior choir, consisting of about 50 little
boys. There was also a drum and fife corps
of 30 men dressed In khaki uniforms.
Thirty per cent of the party were women
and children of all nationalities.
One hundred of the Dowieite3 who
reached the city via the Pennsylvania
Railroad ferry were met by a score of
boarding-house keepers. They were hur
ried In cabs or trolley cars to Madison
Square Garden. It required more than
ten trucks to haul all their baggage to
this city. Some of the trunks were dec
orated with small gold crosses printed
on white paper and stuck on the baggage.
Invasion of Madison Square Garden.
Madison-Square Garden, which Is to be
the headquarters of the host for most ot
the time they are here, was soon occupied
by 1800 citizens of Zlon City. Each pre
sented at the entrance a card bearing the
photograph of the holder and every person
was carefully scrutinized by Director
General Mitchell.
All had expected to breakfast In the
garden, but as it had been arranged not
to make provision today for any meals
before 5 o'clock this evening they left the
garden In search of a meal In neighboring
restaurants. 'Scattered around the en
trance to the garden were the Zlon
