According to best Information avail able, the fire started from explosion of a. gasoline torch In the engine-room. The vessel, sailing from San Francisco to Portland to load lumber, was proceed ing leisurely up the coast and near shore. James Kent, asslstane engineer, and ex-president of the Marine Engi neers' Association, was working In the hold with a gasoline torch. The torch exploded, and in an instant the Interior of the room was filled with flames. In a futile effort to put out the fire Kent was badly burned on the arms and hands. The flames spread so rapidly that It was impossible for Kent or Chief En gineer George Hastorf, who had been summoned by an alarm, to shut off the engines, which were going full speed ahead. The captain was in his Btateroom with his wife when notified by the alarm. Ho gave orders to work the pumps, but this was Impossible, as the valves were In , the flames. Shortly afterward he gave orders to abandon the ship and to use the lifeboats. Captain .Slightly Scorched. A wave filled the first boat lowered half full, but the cook and two sailors got Into It. The heat of the flames was terrific and Captain Peterson's face was scorched slightly while launching the second life boat. The captain's wife was let down from the stern of. the ship by a rope tied around her waist. The others of the crew slid down ropes. The captain's dog, a bull terrier, was tossed Into the sea by the mate and was picked up and saved by the crew. The helm had been tied hard over to make the ship go ashore, and although the rope soon burned, the boat made its way to the rocky shore, fully five miles, with heavy flames and volumes of smoke pouring out of her. The lifeboat containing the water was soon baled and the survivors were equally distributed in them. The cook keeled over and was brought Into the captain's boat, but lay limp, with glassy eyes. Land Reached After Five Miles. The survivors then rowed five miles to a cove, where they landed at 7 o'clock, on a sandy beach. There they built a fire. The captain and his wife, chief en gineer and three sailors climbed a steep bank and, striking out through heavy brush for a quarter of a mile, came to the coast or county road. After walking a few miles through the woods in deep mud and darkness, they came to an abandoned shack, where the captain decided to remain over night with his wife. The chief engineer and three sailors continued on their way until they reached the United States lighthouse at Yaqulna Head 16 miles south of the wreck. Here they were fed and some clothes Were loaned them by Keeper Wilson. They left at 4 In the morning, reach ing Newport two hours later, when the Coroner was notified and assist ance secured. Food Supplies Sent. Captain Jacobson of the Newport bought the men -breakfast. Commis sioner John Fogarty sent abundant food supplies to the men remaining up the coast. Captain Wellander, U. S. L. S. S., Chief Engineer Hastorf and Joe Pat terson immediately set off for the wreck in various wagons. After traveling two miles a wagon containing Captain and Mrs. Peterson, the first mate and a driver was met. Captain Peterson Joined the chief en gineer and Captain Wellander and re turned to examine the wreck. A few sailors were also met walking to New port. Those who had remained on the beach were discovered by some home steaders, C. W. Lovegreen, Mr. Cohen and Mrs. and Miss Greenwood, who gave the hungry men food, after trav eling six miles to get it and carry it to them. Attempt to Board Wreck Fails. The second mate, assistant engineer, firemen and sailors were found near the lifeboats. The corpse of Tiffany lay wrapped in a sail and was carried from the beach to the county road, where Coroner F. M. Carter held an Inquest, which resulted - In a verdict of "death due to exposure and fright." The body was then wrapped up and was brought In town In a rough box on a wagon today.

Captain Peterson, Chief Engineer Hastorf and Captain Wellan der inspected it, but were unable to board what remained of her.

May 20. (Special.) Although the citizens of this town and tha county pfUclals have been working unceasingly to fathom tha cause of the fire which made a wreck of the business portion of Bonanza on the ntght of May 14, no tangible clew has yet been se cured. Every day the belief increases that the tosm was burned by an incendiary. On the night of the fire and after the Drlscoll store was almost all in flames some one aroused the town by calling with loud "halloos," and the belief is that could this party be located the guilty one would be unearthed. Just what will be done In the way of rebuilding the town Is not vet known. Those who lost their entire property ex cept the ground on which the buildings stood nave hardly recovered from the shock to be able to state as to their future intentions. Bonanza has been at almost a standstill for the past year be cause of the action of the Reclamation Service in stopping work on the Upper Klamath Irrigation projects, and it is thought the future acts of the Govern ment will govern the people who were burned out as to what they will do to ward rebuilding. The calling off of the work bv the Government on the Horsefly and Clear Lake parts of the Klamath project was a serious blow in itself to the people or trie entire upper country, and es pecially did it cripple this town. Now. on top of this action by the Govern ment in declaring not to put water on the lands of the valleys adjacent to the town" comes the lire, and the two to gether means almost the death knell of Bonanza for a long time to come unless CO-EDS 3gg the Government again takes up and com pletes the work which was started here. 100 FALL; NONE INJURED SCOTS' PICNIC MAIiRED WHEN SEAT SECTION COILAPSES.

J, . & BEND MOST JOYFUL News of Coming of Railroad Causes Enthusiasm. SETTLERS' RUSH COMING Vast Agricultural Districts Will Be Opened Tip and Outlet Will Be Furnished for Billions of Feet of Fine Timber. BEND, Or., May 20. (Special.) An nouncement that this is to be the June-. tion point of the trans-state road with the Oregon Trunk line has been received In Bend with the greatest enthusiasm. For some eight months survey crews and engineers have been: in the field to the southeast, and It has been suspected that final .location had been made onthe line from Bend to a. point in the far southeastern portion of the state. The announcement made by John E. Bur chard, on behalf of the syndicate which has purchased the wagon road land grant that extends : practijaly across Oregon, now makes the matter sure. Ontario to Bend Is given as the route of the Boise & Western, which will be etxended westerly to meet the main Hill Deschutes line at this point. Not only will the completion of this road open up to colonization the- vast holdings or the newly-purchased road grant lands, but it "will accelerate as nothing else could the settlement of the enormous areas of homestead land southeast of Bend. Al ready hundreds of enterprising settlers have taken advantage of this chance to get free land, and have filed upon 320 acres under , the new homestead law. The rush, however, has been somewhat de layed, owing to the isolation of the lands from even promised transportation. Bend, the nearest railroad point on the present construction work, Is distant from the best sections from 30 to 90 miles. The Ontario-Bend road, however, will pass through the heart of this embryo wheat country. There is room In it, say experts who have thoroughly investigated its possibilities, for thousands of fam ilies. This last railroad news will Insure ah unprecedented rush of land-seekers, who, in the next year, will more than double the farming population of Cen tral Oregon. Perhaps the most vital effect of this east-and-west road upon Bend's develop ment is the outlet It will provide for Deschutes Valley timber products. Lum bermen say that practlcaJJy every foot of the lumber manufactured at Bend will be shipped directly to the markets of the Middle Southwest. Ogden Is pre dicted as the great market and distribut ing point. In the timber belt of the Deschutes are at least 50,000,000,000 feet of fine yellow pine, some 30,000,000,000 of which, it is said, can advantageously be milled at Bend.
