WILL HUNT OREGON DEER
JAMES J. JEFFRIES AND HIS
FRIENDS COMING NORTH.
Cy Mjrlck, of Los Angeles, Writes
Making Arrangement for Trip
to Douglas County.
"U'att Montleth, a well-known local
sportsman, has reecived a letter from
Cy Myrlck. of Los Angeles, requesting
him to secure pack horses and supplies
for a party of ten or more and have
them in waiting at Roseburg, Or., within
the next week. According to the local
man's informant, the Southern Califor
nia men intend spending the next few
weeks in the wilds near Belknap
Springs, putting In most of their time
hunting deer and other game that
abounds In that vicinity.
Included in the party that Is to make
this excursion to the haunts of Oregon
game Is James J. Jeffries, the retired
heavyweight champion of the world, who
has already had a. tasto of Oregon, bunt
ing, and has often written friends here
of his intention to come again. Accord
ing to this letter from Myrlck, who is a
close friend of the ex-pugilist, his desire
is about to be realized.
Other members of the party named In
the letter are James F. Morley. ex-manager
of the Los Angeles baseball team,
Harry Corbett, Harry Carrillo, of Ba
kersfield, and Al Levy, of Los Angeles.
The visiting hunters are due to reach
Roseburg some time next week, and the
Portland man will be advised of their
departure, so that he may have every
thing in. readiness for the hunters when
they leave the train at the Valley town,
as it is not their intention to come to
Portland until after their visit to Bel
knap Springs.
Douglas County is said to possess some
of the tinesi deer forests in the North
west, if not in the country, and on the
strength of advices to this effect, received
from parties who have been over the ter
ritory, Jeffries and friends decided to
make the excursion north this season
Instead of confining their shooting stunts
to the State of California, as has been
the case in most of the past seasons.
According to these advices, Portland
may expect a visit from the champion
of champions after his hunting trip Is
concluded and the many friends of the
big fellow will await his coming with
more than passing interest, for no mat
ter how many times the statement of his
retirement la published, it baa always
been their desire to get the news from
Jeffries' own lips.
Cy Myrlck will be remembered by many
of the local sporting fraternity as a for
mer resident of this city who left here
several years ago and went into business
In San Francisco and where he is said to
have prospered, and branched out to Los
Angeles, where he is now located.
Big Deal In First Street.
The three-story brick building at the
corner of First and Stark streets has
been sold for $45,000. It Is on the south
east corner, with 25 feet frontage on First
street and 100 feet on Stark. The name
of the purchaser has not been given, but
It is stated that the property will be held
as an investment. E. J. Blazier, the for
mer owner, is now considering an offer of
J25.O0O for the adjoining 25 feet on First
street.
Spauldlng's Big Log Drive.
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 16. (Special.)
The big log drive of the Spaulding
Lumber Company is now passing Al
bany. The Willamette River is full of
the timber, and the youthful residents
of the town spend many hours in the
water "riding" the logs. The drive this
year consists of 12,000,000 feet, and
will be used In the Spaulding mills at
Newberg, and at the pulp mill at Ore
gon City.
OPTIONS ON HIGH GROUND
TOP OF MOUNT TABOR TO BE
PURCHASED FOR CITV.
Citizens Plan Use of It as Park and
Reservoir Site for Turbine
Power Plant.
Options have been secured for the pur
chase on behalf of the city of tracts of
land comprising the top of Mount Ta
bor, the object being to turn the land
over to the city for a park and reservoir,
the reservoir being the main considera
tion. W. G. Oberturffer, who made the
offer of this land to the city a year ago
at about one-third the valuation now
placed on it, has been securing these
options and has virtually obtained them
all. so that his options represent about
60 acres. He says the options have cost
three times what they were held at a
year ago, when an effort was made to
interest the city in the top of Mount
Tabor. It was then urged that Portland
would need it botb for a reservoir and
for a park, beside which it would supply
1,000,000 cubic yards of dirt with which
to fill in streets.
Councilman Kellaher is interested in
this project His idea is that with an
other reservoir at the top of Mount
Tabor and a second Bull Run pipe line
discharging 40,000.000 gallons daily Into It,
power enough could be generated by the
fall of 400 feet to furnish electricity for
lighting the city, by means of turbine
wheels. Water from Bull Run could
thus be made to light the city.
This is one of the arguments that will
be urged for securing the summit of
Mount Tabor as a site for a reservoir
and for a park. As to the cost of the
land on which these options have been
secured, this will be announced when
the direct offer is made of the land to
the city. The price is much higher than
it would have been had the city taken
the land a year ago.
Mayor Lane last night stated that he
was unaware of any options being taken
on the tracts of land covering the top
of Mount Tabor. He had not yet been
consulted in reference to the matter, he
said.
CARD OF THANKS.
We are truly appreciative and grateful
to our many sympathetic friends and
neighbors for their beautiful floral offer
ings and kindness during our late be
reavement in the loss of our beloved
wife and mother.

FIRE DESTROYS A BAKERY
THREATENS BLOCK OF WOODEN
BUILDINGS ON WASHINGTON.
Estes & Lindsay's Establishment Is
Burned and Adjoining Struc
tures Partially Ruined.
Fire threatened the entire block of
wooden buildings between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets on Washington shortly
after midnight. It completely destroyed
the Estes & Lindsay bakery, a two-story
building; partially destroyed F. J. Mc
Carthy's electrical works In an adjoining
building, and damaged the San Francisco
Cleaning Works. The fire obtained such
headway before an alarm was sounded
that surrounding wooden buildings were
smoking from the heat before the arrival
of fire apparatus.
The fire broke out in the rear of the
Estes & -Jndsay bakery, adjoining which
is a small lodging-house. All the room
ers escaped before the building was in
flames. From tba tear of the bakery the
fire burned forward and through the sides
of the building, catching those next to it
Gasoline in the cleaning works added
greatly in spreading the fire. The heat
was so great that it was impossible to
stand across the street. The building
burned like match wood and half an hour
after the alarm the building In which the
bakery was located had fallen In. The
other buildings were not burned beyond
repair.
Danger from overhead wires was also
great and linemen were busy making dis
connections. The origin of the fire is un
known. None of the owners of the build
ings or their occupants could be found to
give an estimate of the loss. It is thoucht
that it will not exceed more than fcooo
or $6000.

Schooners Bar Bound at Hoqulam.
HOQUIAM. Wash., Aug. 16. (Special.)
Six schooners and one steam schooner,
loaded with lumber, are bar bound in the
lower harbor awaiting a chance to put
to sea. During the past week the small
tides being, in season and the heavy
wind has made the bar almost impass
able. Owing to the depth of water on the
bar no vessels dare to leave the harbor,
but must wait until the tides get larger
or wind moderates. Captain Sanborn
says the bar is rougher now than at
any time during last Winter,
