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. W, I. WILTSHIRE AND FAMILT. 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,
