Chamber of Commerce Prepares Reso
lutions Opposing Route Monopoly.
A set of resolutions bearing upon -the
manner of operation of the Panama Ball-
way has been prepared by W. ArMears
on behalf of the transportation committee
of the Chamber of Commerce. The reso
lutions suggested that the route should
be conducted in a manner calculated to
give the "greatest good to the greatest
number, and that there should be an ab
sence of monopoly in favor of any steam
ship company at the ports on either
ocean.

Actual Losses to Settlers Light and
Danger Seems Averted Two
Farmhouses Destroyed-Brush
Is Ablaze Near Boring.
The thick smoke which hides every
thing five miles distant from Portland is
caused by fires in two districts, about
Rainier and St. Helens and on the Upper
Clackamas. Both fires have heen burn
ing several days and though as yet no
damage to green timber haa been done
lives have been lost, danger is
threatened to both.
One hundred men have been fighting
Are at Rainier for two days. Two thou
sand acres have alredy been burned over
and two camps. McKinnon's and Sten-
nlcks have been destroyed with a loss of
?2000. The loss to farmers and settlers will
brine the amount .of damage up to $5000.
The biggest fight was put up at a road
ODDoslte Mclntyre's camp, about which
stands much green timber, besides 2000
cords of cut wood.
It Is the belief In Bainler that the fire
is of incendiary' origin, though the crime
cannot be laid to anyone. All day yester
day It burned on the edge of a gulch
which leads Into town, which stands in
some danger.
In Clackamas Count', fires still con
tinue to rage, although the danger so im
minent on Thursday has somewhat abat
ed. There are several places where con
siderable damage has been done to stand,
ing timber, but the. actual losses to set
tiers have been very light, but two being
rcorted losers and their damage is not
great. About 20 camping parties, which
went into the mountains to pick black
berries, which grow In abundance in that
section, were compelled to come out and
so far as heard from none were Injured
by the fire nor did they lose anything.
although for awhile it seemed as if they
would "be caught beyond the hope of res
cue.
An Oregonlan representative went to
-within a mile or, so of the heaviest fire
yesterday afternoon and found the imme
diate danger past- He saw several per
sons living just outside the fire zone who
gave him the assurance that-no very val
uable property had been destroyed as yet
and that no lives had been lost or even
placed in actual danger. There -was
pejlmell rush of the berryplckers to get
out and the settlers were keeping close
watch of the flames so as to be ready for
any emergency.
Fire Near Snag Camp
From Earl E. Elliott, a merchant at
Eagle Creek, it was learned that the fire
was confined principally to a large sec.

warded to President Roosevelt, another
to the Panama Canal Commission, and a
copy to each of Oregon's representatives
at Washington, D. C. The resolutions are
as follows:
Whereas, the United States Government, by
the purchaso of the Panama Canal, has ob
tained control of the Panama Railroad, and.
"Whereas, for years past the Panama Com
pany has entered Into a contract with the Pa
cific Hall Steamship Company by which the
latter handlo all the freight destined to and
from Pacific Co act ports to the exclusion of
all other ocean carriers; and.
Whereas, the purchaso of the controlling: In
terest In the Panama Railroad necessarily
terminates said contract, and.
"Whereae, It Is understood that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company is now seeking: to
have said contract renewed, and.
Whereas, the renewal of said contract would
again place the people of the Pacific Coast en
tirely In the hands of the great railroad com
bination as for as the problems of carrying
freight are concerned, as the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company is owned and controlled
by the owners of what Is known as the "Har-
rlman Lines"; therefore, be It
Resolved, by the Portland Chamber of Com
roerce. That it Is not to the interests of the
people residing west of the Rocky Mountains,
nor the people of the whole United States, that
said contract be renewed, but that free com
petition be thrown open to all ocean-carriers
to handle the freight to be shipped across the
Isthmus of Darien, both between Atlantic
Coast ports and Colon, on the Atlantic Ocean,
and Pacific Coast ports and Panama, on the
Pacific Ocean; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to the Panama Canal Commission,
to the President of the United States, and to
each member of our Congressional delegation.

YESTERDAY WAS SULTRY.
Temperature Only 86, but Forest
Fires Make Air Close.
With a temperature of 86, Portland was
as hot yesterday as the day before with
95 degrees. For In the meanwhile smoke
had blown In from the mountains, where
forest fires have been burning for several
days, and made the atmosphere close.
Bo far this has been a -warm August.
The month is usually cooler here than
July, but the first five days of August this
year have been 89, 81, S7, Sa and S5. The
hottest day in the monia last year was
bullets did not take effect. The robbery
occurred at a dark point on the curve at
the head of Carter street.
Car No. 204 left the foot of Washington
street on schedule time and picked up a
list of. passengers. When the curve at
the head of Carter street was reached.
the' car was obliged to slow down to pass
over the switch leading from the single
track upon the double track that goes up
the hill on Twentieth -street, nead General
Beebe's residence. Conductor T. R. Har
rison was eating his lunch on the rear
platform of the car, and he held in nia
hand a class tumbler, from which he was
eating sauce. He happened to glance to
ward the hillside as the car began to
round the curve, and he saw the two men
runninsr down to the car.
As the men neared the car, one maae
for the front platform, where stood
Motorman G. A. BIngman, while tne
other ran to the rear end of the car.
As he passed within the strip of light
Conductor Harrison saw that there was
handkerchief tied over the lower
part of his face and that the man car
ried a revolver. Suspecting at once
that he was about to be the victim of
a hold-up, Conductor Harrison hurled
the glass tumble -with all the force at
his command straight Into the hanmts
face. It struck him below the chin.
and at the samo instant the robber
shot
The glass prevented a true aim, ana
the bullet passed over the conductor's
head and lodged in the roof of the car
over the rear platform. The car was
still running slowly, and the bandit
ran beside it, trying to reach tne
handle and null himself aboard the
car. He slipped on the ground and
fell, and as he did so ho shot a sec
ond time, the bullet flying wild. The
car came to a Btop, and at this junc
ture Conductor Harrison ran into the
car and passed to the forward end.
The second bandit was on the tracK
before the car, covering the motorman
with his revolver. Inside the car there
was terror among the passengers, who
tried to tret beneath seats when tne
firing, commenced. The bandit at the
renr of the car entered, passed tne
passengers, walked to the front end.
opened the door ana covered tne mo
torman, demanding that he hand over
his money. At the samo time tne tod-
ber kept an eye on Conductor Harri
son and the passengers.
The motorman was forced to nana over

rorrtid in Autnist were 97 decrees, on the I about S9. after which the highwayman

about seven miles southeast of Eagle cether. and so was It last year. The long-

Clackamas and Sandy Rivers. As stated -when the thermometer dally registered

from his breast the change receiver,
which held -about $22 in small coins. He
also compelled the conductor to empty
his pockets. The robber was very cool
about it and seemed in no particular
hurrv. although another car was ap-
nroachlnir.
After netting the money rrom tne con
ductor the robber backed to the rear-end
of the car, stepped off and disappeared.
The hlehwavman In front ordered Motor-
man BIngman to start the car, then both
men disappeared in uiu umau ac mo
side of the hill, firing three more shots
as they" did so. supposedly with the pur
pose of frightening people who wore com-

slight change in the wind, which came
yesterday from the northwest, acted as
a- check upon the fire and it was burning
itself out upon the ground already cov
ered, which had burned over once before,
about 15 years ago.
So long as the wind does not blow from
the east there is very little likelihood of
any further damage being done, but
sudden change of the wind from that di
rection would mean the destruction of
large bodies of excellent timber as well
as the homes of those who live upon
low temperature.

had been very solicitous for the people
known to be In the burning district, but
that no losses had been reported.
Two Farmhouses Burned.
From a settler about four miles east of
Eagle Creek It was learned that two
small farmHbuses had been burned, but
that the owners escaped with their fam
illes and stock. They were new settlers
in the mountains, and had only begun
to make Improvements, so that they had
but little to lose. Their names could not
be learned.
At Barton a fierce fire covered about
100 acres of newly-alashed land on
Wednesday and destroyed about 60 acres
of wood. This fire came right down to
the track of the Oregon Water Power
Railway, and was very hot while it
lasted. It was checked by the GO-foot
clearing of the right of way and did not
cross the track.
Fierce Fire Burns Near Boring.
Another dangerous lire broke out in the
timber about half a mile northeast of Bor

acres before night. It was burning fierce
ly, and may become really dangerous If
the wind springs up too fresh. Farm
houses are numerous in that vicinity, and
the town of Boring would not be safe if
the fire should gam too much headway.
In the neighborhood of Sager & Wing's
sawmill, three miles north of Damascus,
a heavy fire destroyed about 200 cords of
wood during the week, but the timber
