FIRE WIPES OUT
MANY
BUGS
Whole Blocks Swept Out of Ex
istence and Great Loss
Entailed.
BARR HOTEL HEAVY LOSER
Vornt Damage Is Done In the Kler
nan Block Bounded by Fifth and
Sixth, Glisan and Hoyt.
Little but Ruins Left.
Among the heavy property losses of
the fire was that on the Kiernan block,
between Sixth and Fifth, Glisan and
Hoyt. Tlie entire block, with the ex
ception of a barber shop, a vacant
store, a saloon and cigar etore on the
southwest corner, was swept clean.
Almost the whole block was covered
with stables owned by the Oregon
Transfer Company, and sublet to the
Overland Transfer Company, a horse
trader named J. Kelly, C. J. Kirby's
blacksmith shop and storage-room had
been leased to the Baggage & Omnibus
Transfer Company, and the Portland
Carriage Company, which had moved
property saved from the recent fire at
Fourth and Ankeny. Horses were re
moved in safety. Losses in the block
are approximately as follows: Oregon
Transfer Company, $40,000; Overland
Transfer Company, $10,000; J. Kelly,
$1200; C. J. Kirby, $900; B. & O. T. Co.,
$1000; Portland Carriage Company,
$12,000. Insurance on the block will
total $18,000.
Buildings saved on this block were
the saloon at 126 North Sixth, B. W.
Davis, proprietor; cigar store. Sixth and
Glisan. owned by R. Osvold; barber
shop adjoining, owned by I. Rouf; and a
vacant store-room at 124 North Sixth
sttet.
Barr Hotel Is Gutted.
The BaiT Hotel, in the block south of
Ihe Kiernan property, made the most
spectaru.nr fire of any building In the
district. The brick hotel was completely
Rutted by the 'flames, the loss to the
property being about $1S,000. Of this sum.
$in,00t) falls on the hotel manager, J. M.
Toomey, whose insurance on his furnish
ings anJ personal effects expired yester
day morning. The hotel property is owned
by the 9. M. Barr estate.
The California Oyster-House, Tom
Paulsen, proprietor, loss $500, and a
barber shop, owned by J. H. Murphy,
loss $.00, closely adjoin the hotel on the
Sixth-street side of the block. The Union
Transfer Company, was completely gutted
by the fire, the loss on the building
amounting to J.VXX), with insurance of
$aono. This building was owned by tho
Ban estate. Horses housed in the stable
were saved but a quantity of harness
was consumed, loss to the company being
about S3mh) with small insurance. Next to
that building was the tailor shop of Way
Ting, Chinese tailor, who estimates his
loss at $1500, with insurance at $1000. Ad
joining the tailor shop, at 14 North Sixth
street, was the Nugget Cafe, owned by
J. W. Welland, with a rooming-house
above. The building was gutted, although
the stock was saved, the loss being not
over $.1000. On the corner of Sixth and
Flanders street is the confectionery store
of w. R. Jacobs, a brick building which
withstood the flames. There was small
damage from water. East of the corner,
at 313 Flanders street, was a Japanese
barber shop a Japanese laundry, the Pa
cific Tailoring Company, also run by
Japanese, with a rooming-house above.
As the occupants had plenty of warning
that the nre was coming their way
practically everything was saved. The
row of buildings, which are wooden, two-
story structures, still stand, the rear nor
ttons of several being damaged to some
extent. The loss on thes? buildings is
$L1000. practically all of which is covered
by insurance.
Brick Bkx-k I'nliurt.
The brick building at the northwest cor
ner of Fifth and Flanders, owned and
occupied by the Oregon Casket Company
was not hurt, the blank wails on the two
sides endangered by the fire being effec
tive in stopping the flames. Oa the east
side of the Casket Company is the shop
of Tilt on Brothers, roofers and furnace
makers. The building was damaged to
the extent of about $1000 and the damage
to the contents was by water only and
was slight. Insurance covers the loss on
the structure and the contents. The
northeast corner of the block had an old
stable and a, vacant lot. The stable
housed wagons and horses that were not
consumed, the loss being slight.
Across Fifth street the four-story build
ing of the Povey Brothers Glass Com
pany. 100 Fifth, was damaged on the top
floor, occupied by the Schiller Cigar Com
pany. There was llitle damage, fully
covered by Insurance. Employes of the
company formed a bucket brigade on the
roof and helped subdue the flames.
One Store Ksoapes.
F. Haradon & Son, confectioners, 104
Fifth, adjoin the glass company, and, al
though the building was right in the
path of the fire, it was not damaged at
all. The Harper BrasB Works, 106 North
Fifth, was damaged not to exceed $500,
and the loss was covered by Insurance.
The Standard Stables, corner Fifth and
Glisan. owned by Brown & Foster, build
ing owned by R. L. Glisan. was com
pletely gutted by the fire. Insurance of
$760 carried on the building will almost
cover the loss, while damage to the prop
erty of the stable owners will not be ex
tensive, probably about $1000, and Is cov
ered by insurance.
The Centennial Iron and Steel Works,
owned by W. G. Hartman, at 22S Gli
san, was burned, together with four
automobiles that were there for re
pairs. The loss is $10,000, which la
about half covered by insurance.
Across the street from the machine
shop. 225 Glisan, the North Pacific
Waon Works, owned by Charles
Wackraw, was burned, the loss being
about $12,000. with insurance of $1500.
Buildings destroyed on the portion of
the block swept by the fire were old
frame structures of little value. A
storeroom owned ad occupied by the
Portland Railway. Light and Power
Company, was not worth more than
$1000, the loss being covered by insur
ance, and the Merchants Express Com
pany building was worth as much
more, with half the loss covered by
Insutance. The contents of both build
ings were not at all valuable.
The fire was so hot that buildings
on the west side of Sixth street caught
fire and considerable damage was done
in the block between Glisan and Hoyt
streets. Joe Clossett, who owns the
north quarter block, containing five
stores, estimates the loss to his build
ings at $6000, with insurance to that
amount. The Butte lodging-house,
l-5 Sixth, owned and run by Mrs. C.
G. Schmokel. was damaged by fire and
water to the extent of $1000, but the
loss Is covered by insurance. Other
small buildings adjoining were dam
aged to a small extent.
There were quantities of materials
stored on the blocks burned that will
add to the loss. A local construction
company had stored bridge timbers on
a- vacant lot, the value of which could
only be guessed at, and other miscel
laneous losses will run the total up to
over $225,000.
FIREMEX ARE HANDICAPPED
Lack of Water-Tower Adds to Yes
terday's Losses.
Mayor Lane, accompanied by Fire Com
missioners Marcus A. Fleischner and W.
T. Peery, left the City Hall immediately
following a brief meeting and hurried to
the scene of the fire. They remained on
the ground, viewing the progress of the
flames, until the firemen virtually had
control of the situation. Beyond express
ing deep regret at the bbj loss, neither
cared to discuss the matter.
It was plain, however, to those who
watched the firemen at work, especially!
at the Barr Hotel, Sixth and Glisan, that
they were greatly handicapped by the
lack of a water tower, and by a scar
city of hydrants. It required a tremen
dous amount of labor to get in lines of
hose from the neighboring etreetcorners,
sufficient to make any headway against
the roaring names. v here there should
have been at least two plugs on each
corner in the business section of the city,
there was none at all at Sixth and Flan
ders streets, where the fire raged fiercely
for a long time. This was true on all
sides of the area devastated during the
conflagration.
Fire Chief Campbell has pleaded with
the City Council and merbers of the
Water Board for months to allow him
more fire hydrants, but not until three
weeks ago did he succeed in securing any
action. At last the Council, Inasmuch as
the Water Board refused to purchase any,
authorized an appropriation of $20,000 with
which to buy 500. -However, It requires a
long unwinding of official red tape before
these can be secured, and in the mean
time, as demonstrated most thoroughly
yesterday's tire, the city goes un
protected.
The matter of a water tower has long
been discussed, and the Mayor, the Fire
Commissioners and Chief Campbell talked
It over at their meeting last Thursday
afternoon. Chief Campbell expressed the
wish that tne piece of apparatus be pur
chased immediately and brought to Port
land for use, but as it requires a special
house in which to store it, and there be
ing none such here at present, it was de
cided to wait awhile. "
There have been numerous fires in Port
and where a water tower could have
been used to great advantage, but scarce
ly e-er more than at yesterday's fire. In
the Abington building fire, also, the tower
-would have been of inestimable value,
and Chief Campbell so stated to the
Mayor and Fire Commissioners last
Thursday. Now that the absolute neces
stty of a water tower has been so com
pletely demonstrated, it is believed that
it will be added to Portland's fire equip
ment In the near future.
Building Inspector Dobson was among
the first to arrive at the fire. He re
mained during the whole time, and ren
dered valuable aid in the work of fight
ing the flames. The first thing he at
tempted to do when he reached the scene
was to have the shutters on the south
side of the Barr Hotel closed. However,
the heat was so intense that this could
not be accomplished. Had it been possible.
Mr. Dobson declared later, none of the
buildings fv the south, on Sixth street,
would have been- Injured. The shutters
were ordered put on only two months ago
by the Building Inspector, but they were
valueless because no one closed them.
WANTS FIRE-PROOF STABLES
Ordinance Calling for Concrete
Buildings Has Been Drawn.
In view of the numerous fires, originat
ing In or consuming livery stables in
Portland recently. Plumbing Inspector
Hoy has drafted an ordinance, embracing
sanitary clauses, but in reality calling
for fire-proof buildings for horses. He
completed the draft of the new measure
yesterday, and it will be submitted to
the City Council committee on health and
police at its next meeting. Its provisions
require modern sanitation devices and, if
the ordinance is passed as It stands, it
will eliminate frame structures for
stables.
Starts Incipient Blaze.
An aftermath of the big fire was one
which caused an alarm at 9 o'clock last
night in the Tlvoli lodging-house, at 245
Burnside, conducted by John Dunn, also
proprietor of the Dewey House which
adjoins it. This fire was caused by a
large brand which had dropped on the
roof of the Tlvoli and had smouldered
there for several hours finally igniting
the tar-paper with which this roof was
covered. The fire was put out with a
chemical apparatus and the damage will
not exceed $300.

FIGHT FOR CLOSER VIEW
Police and Firemen Forced to Rope
Off Conflagration District to
Hold Throngs Back to
Point9 of Safety.
Until a late hour last night hundreds of,
persons crowded the thoroughfares in
the burned district. During the early pro-
gress of the flames the lives of many
were in imminent danger from falling
wires and debris.
Ropes were strung by the police as soon
as possible after the firemen had been
able to get down to work and the crowds
shut off in that way from the ruins.
However, the officers encountered great
difficulty in restraining the impatience
of many.
Ko Arrests, Few Accidents.
There were no arrests, and few acci
dents of consequence. In the small apart
ment and boarding-houses .near the
burned district sneik thieves operated
industriously in the afternoon, but their
depredations were stopped by the estab
lishment of cordons of policemen about
the district. A number of minor losses
from this cause were reported, but the
aggregate was small.
As the fire reached its highest point of
destruction in the afternoon, and was
spreading from one block to another,
serious accidents were narrowly averted
at numerous places. Horses in various
barns in the neighborhood were being
taken as quickly as possible from their
stalls and Into the street. For a time a
stampede was threatened in several of
these crowds of animals, and horsemen
did effective work in preventing persons
from being trampled upon by the animals.
Crowd3 Linger for Hours.
Engines were kept at the scene of the
fire until an early hour this morning,
though the flames had been under con
trol for several hours. As long as the
engines remained crowds of persons also

traffic in the northern part of the city
was at a standstill for several hours.
River traffic was also blocked for a time
by the closing of the bridges.
MONSTER CROWD SEES FIRE
Police and Firemen Have Difficulty
In Keeping Them Away.
It is estimated that between 40,000
and 50,000 people gathered to w'ltness
the spectacle furnished by the ravages
of the flames. All the streets leading
to the burned area were black with
people who were banked into veritable
human walls. Sidewalks and streets
alike were impassable. Within thirty
minutes after the alarms . had been
spread the entire uniformed police
force then on duty, consisting of 42
men, was withdrawn from their re
spective beats on both sides of the
river and sent post haste to the scene
of the. disaster.
Captain Slover of the first night re
lief, dispatched Sergeant Cole to the
scene to assume command there. He
kept with him but one assistant,
Patrolman Graves, and between these
two the jail and police telephone calls
were looked after. Captain Slover
not only sent all his own men but
succeeded in reaching by telephone
about a dozen men belonging to the
other two reliefs, so that altogether
there were more than 50 uniformed
policemen at the fire.
Although this is half of the entire
department there were not enough
police to properly look after the many
details necessary to maintain order
among the crowds and keep the fire
lines clear and open Wot the unre
stricted work of the firemen.
A saloon-keeper at Sixth and Gli
san streets supplied two ropes which
were strung across' Sixth street. Here
in attempting to string the rope
across the street Patrolman Thompson
pulled so energetically that he dis
located his left thumb. A physician
in the crowd stepped forward and re
set it for him. Thompson continued
on duty. Patrolmen O'Brien and
Adams at Fourth and Everett streets
erected a line by means of a ropo
borrowed from an awning on
neighboring building.
Patrolman Harrn was one ot the
first to reach the scene and he hur
ried the women to places of safety.
Not one case of robbery was re
ported. Considering the large area of
the fire and the enormous crowds
which througed the streets, this ab
sence of the criminal who takes ad
vantage of the excitement to ply his
nefarious trade, this Is considered re
markable. One attempt was made, but
was frustrated by the proprietor of the
Union Hotel.
He found two strange men running
through the halls of his hotel shouting
"lire" and urging the people to vacate.
When the rooms had been deserted
these men began to pilfer. They were
caught in the act by the hotel pro
prietor, who grabbed a club and
struck one of the men over the head.
While the other made good his escape.

from his head, and the crowd thpught
he was a fire victim, so when he
wrenched free from the grasp of his
captor and fled down the street no one
essayed to stop him. When the cry of
thief" had been raised he was lost
from view and not retaken. Ko. ar
rests were made incidental to the fire
area.
A number of the police assisted the
firefighters in quelling the frames, but
the most conspicuous work was done
by Detective John Price. Alone he
manned a line of water on the frame
building occupied by a saloon and lodg-
ng-house at 106 North Sixth street.
This building was seriously damaged.
but its utter destruction was averted
by the quick actions and hard work of
Detective Price. Later he was joined
by a fireman and the two entirely con
trolled the blaze in this building. De
tective- Price received a cut on the leg
from falling glass, but the injury was
slight. His clothes, being unsuited for
this kind of work, were ruined.
FIRE SWEEPS FOUR BLOCKS
(Continued Prom First Page.)
Glisan and Flanders was all but gone,
the big brick Barr Hotel being repre
sented by tottering, blackened walls,
which fell in later, fortunately with
out hurting anyone.
Blind Wals Save District.
Just one thing prevented Portland's
most disastrous fire and what might
have been one of the serious fires of
the Northwest. That was the presence
of big brick buildings on the course
of the flames. No force of firemen
could "have stopped the onslaught had
the fire not been checked on the east
by the Union Meat Company walls and
on the north, at Flanders street from
Fifth to Fourth, by the Oregon Casket
Company's building, the Povey build
ing and a new brick structure that is
being erected for occupancy by Chi
nese at Fourth and Flanders streets.
In each instance the fire struck against
a blind north wall and got no further.
This obstacle to the progress of the
fire gave the firemen a basis from
which to work, and Chief Campbell
was not slow to seize the opportunity,
Concentrating his forces, he drenched
the fire with thousands of gallons of
water and chemicals.
There was a thrilling contest here
for "mastery of the situation. Still
aided by a strong northwest wind, the
flames fought persistently to get
across Flanders street. Tongues of
fire played on the walls of the Oregon
Casket Company's building at Fifth and
Flanders, and a veritable furnace raged
behind the Povey and Chinese buildings
which guarded Flanders between Fourth
and Fifth streets. Once the fire reached
full around in front of the casket estab
lishment and caught in the casements.
The firemen played half u dozen streams
on the danger point and won.
Flames Finally Give Way.
Unable to get nourishment, the fire
slowly gave way, its only course being
with the wind, -and this course blocked.
The lire apparatus began withdrawing at
6:30 o'clock and recall was sounded at
9:36 o'clock. The first alarm was sent in
at 5:03 P. M. by Patrolman Hirsh.
' Valuable buildings scorched but not
damaged have an aggregate value of
more than $1,000,000, contents included. In
this list comes the Oregon Casket Com
pany, Povey Brothers block, the Wad
hams & Kerr Co. building, the Lutke
Manufacturing Company building, the Pa
cific Coast Biscuit Company place, the
new Chinese quarters and a row of frame
buildings extending from Glisan to Hoyt,
cn Sixth street, and the Pacific Construc
tion Company's building. All these struc
tures flank the burned area.
Great Throng In Streets.
Fifty thousand people thronged the en
tire North End district and watched the
progress of the tire. Fire lines were
established and people surged as near as
possible, packing the streets where the
lines were stretched so densely that a
panic would have resulted In serious loss
of life. Fire apparatus had difficulty in
getting through, and several times the po
lice had to change the curious multitude
and clear passageways for the firemen.
Hundreds of men and boys volunteered
their services to the work of dragging
heavy lines of hose into the burning dis
trict. An ambulance was kept at Fifth
and Glisan ready for any emergency, but
strangely enough no serious mishaps were
recorded.
Starts in Loft of Hay.
Starting in a section of the Oregon
Transfer Company's barn used by the
Baggage & Omnibus Transfer Company,
the fire got its first strength from a loft
of hay and burst shortly across to the

Pacific Wagon Works, at the northeast
corner of Ffth and Glisan streets. Con
suming this place and failing to get
through the Union Meat Company's walls,
it worked ack to Hoyt street and leaped
across Glisan to the rear of the Pacific
Construction Company. It consumed, at I
this point, the Coolidge Wagon & Car
riage Works and moved on the Barr Ho
tel, at the southeast comer of Sixth and
Glisan.
Although a brick structure, the Barr
Hotel was not fitted with a blind wall
and the fire worked in through the win
dows, caught the curtains, carpets and
furnishings and in a short time it was
seen the hotel could not escape. Inside
of an hour the hotel had been reduced to
four vacant, blackened walls.
Burns Way to Flanders.
While working into the Barr Hotel,
the fire took hold of the frame buildings
in the rear and to the south and burned
its way up Sixth to Flanders, where a
small brick structure withstood the
siege. Working behind This, it gobbled
up several frame buildings near the
southwest corner of Fifth and Glisan
and assaulted the Casket Company, but
not successfully.
Every fireman In the city and every bit
of apparatus, including the fireboat, was
pressed into service. The first alarm at
5:05 was responded to by one hose com
pany and a line of' hose was played on
the fire while It was yet confined to the
Oregon Transfer Company's place. The
flames gaining, a second alarm was
sounded, and a third. Chief Campbell
then went to the scene in person, and,
seeing that a fire of most serious pro
portions was threatened, ordered a gen
eral alarm.
Fourteen engine companies, five hose
wagons, three chemicals, five trucks
and the fireboat were thus made avail
able, and 'Chief Campbell found this
force not any too large, as the fire had
to be ' fought from a-dozen different
points. In all, 236 firemen were used.
Water Pressure Is Low.
Low water pressure and four-inch
mains proved a serious drawback, and
unquestionably resulted in the loss of
much property which might otherwise
have been saved. The big new Metro
politan steamer was stationed at a fire
hydrant at Fifth and Glisan, where It
was able to supply but one line of hose
with water from the small mains. From
a normal main, this engine drives two
powerful streams.
Lines of hose not reinforced by
steamers, gave forth pitifully weak
streams, in several cases reaching not
more than a dozen feet beyond the
nozzle, inree lines were laid up Flan
ders street, from the fireboat, and these
gave forth much stronger streams.
The fire-fighting force was divided
the larger number thrown into the
burning area, and the others assigned
to prevent an unexpected spreading.
The flames were attacked from every
vantage point, although the strongest
force was centered along Flanders
street, which was regarded as the last
line of defense. Had the fire gotten
south of Flanders it is certain the big
area of wooden shacks occupied chiefly
by disreputable classes would have
been swept away.
Valuables Piled In Street.
Hundreds of people, throughout the
north end. began hustling their belong
ings into the street when the fire seemed
to threaten the district south of Flanders
street and west of Blxth. Pawnbrokers,
second hand dealers, saloonkeepers, small
merchants and shopkeepers began getting
their more valued belongings together,
and express wagons were in demand.
From the roonlng houses of the dis
trict poured excited men and women carry
ing bundles and grips, and even trunks.
Wretched women, surprised without their
paints and rouge, flitted excitedly about,
pale, ghastly, revolting in the unaccus
tomed light of day.
Occurring at an hour when the shops

During the month of July there have
been four disastrous and costly conflagra
tions in this city, entailing a property
loss aggregating J650.000. The origin ot
three of these fires was mysterious and
the fact that they all started in livery
stables warrants "the suspicion that an
incendiary has been at work. The fourth
fire in the Abington building was sup
posed to have been caused by crossed
electric wires although tenants of the
building report having found evidences
of Incendiarism the following morning.
The first of this series of fires occurred
Thursday night, July 2, when the stables
of the Baggage & Omnibus Transfer Com
pany and the Portland Carriage Com
pany, including the Raymond Restaurant
and the Eldora rooming-house, were
burned at a loss estimated at 05,000. This
fire had an unexplained) origin in the
stables of the Baggage & Omnibus Trans
fer Company and spread to the adjoining
frame buildings.
The second serious livery stable con
flagration was that which destroyed ths
Dexter stables. Fifth and Ankeny streets,
on the night of July 7. In this fire prob
ably 50 -horses, were burned to death,
bringing the total loss up to 115,000.
Thursday night, July -23, shortly after
midnight, a, serious fire was discovered
in the Abington building. The flames
spread to the building occupied by W.
J. Van Schuyver & Co.. resulting in a
total loss of about $375,000.
Adding the losses In yesterday's fins
