3 INJURED IN FIRE
.Women Carried to Safety by
Officers.
SOME JUMP FROM WINDOWS
Many Narrow Emprt From Dratb
Mark Early Morning Blaie
Which Dors $15,000 Dam
age on East Side Corner.
Three ptnoni were lightly Injured
and many had narrow eacapea from
death b fir broke out lo a frame
building at the nortbweat corner of
Union avenue and East Morrison street
at 4 o'clock yesterday mornlnc. Prop
erty of the value of about 135.000 was
destroyed.
The upper floors of the building,
which had three stories, were occupied
as lodgings by nearly 10. persons, and
so rapidly did Uie flames spread after
breaking out In a barber shop on the
"ground floor, that all the occupants
bad to flee scantily dreased and leaving
-mrmt of tbetr belongings behind.
Potlr. Sergeant Keller was the first
"t. discover the flarcn-a. He at once
fired several shots from his revolver
and turned In an alarm. The shots
brought Patrolmen Litherland and
Hewatoa to the spot and the officer,
turned their attention to gettlnir the
people out of the building. Sergeant
Keller particularly distinguished him
self, and In four minutes, aided by his
subordinates, had cleared the building
of Its Inhabitants.
Three Women Carried Out.
Three women were carried out of th.
place bodily by the sera-rant, flames
and smoke lapping him and his burden
as rhey passed down the at Irs. As
soon as the burning building had been
cleared, the offlt-ers turned their atten
tion t. the adjoining structures and
saw that they also were abandoned.
There was not time for all the oc
cupant, to escape by the stairs, and
among the few who Jumped from win
dows, three received slight sprains.
One of these was an unknown young
woman who leaped Into the slough un
der the building and sprained her
ankle. Charles Williams and Mis. Clara
Baunlgster were cut off from access
to th. Stairs and Williams lowered the
woman from a window as far as h.
could reach and let her drop. She re
ceived a sprained ankle, but waa not
otherwise Injured. William. then
Jumped and suffered painful but not
serious Injuries to his ankle and leg.
No ether casualties were known to th
police.
Loaa on Building $10,000.
Th. building, which was destroyed,
waa owned by the Western Oregon In
vestment Company, for which R. V.
Jnaei Is agent. The latter estimate,
the loss en the building at f?.0oo. cov
ered by fl2.. Insurance. Fire started
la the rear of the barber shop, owned
by Hots Cooley and Frank. Mantaga,
and Is believed to have been caused by
crossed electrlo wires.
Considering the number of people
on the upper floors. It la remarkable
that there were no more accident.
Ross Cooley. In whos. barber shop on
East Morrison street th. fir. started,
said:
"I was sleeping In the back part of
my shop with my partner. Frank Man
tag n, when I was awakened by th.
heat and smoke at the head of our bed.
At that time, the room was filled with
smoke and It waa getting hotter every
second. Arousing my partner, w.
sprang out of bed. and both managed
to get outside, half dressed. I ha,
not th. re mot eel Idea how the Are
started. It waa In the wall at the head
of our bed when we got out.
J. L. Tbornly. with. J. Wright .owned
the rooming apartments on the second
and third floors. "My room was on th.
third or top floor." he said. "Every
room wVs filled. As the fire broke out.
I waa awakened and went to get th.
people out of their rooms, and with
the help of several men succeeded In
awakening everybody."
Many Concerns Suffer.
In addition to the loss sustained by
the Western Oregon Trust Company,
the following suffered damage by the
fire: Junius M. Wright, who conduct
ed a grocery In the corner room, had
the entire building leased, and owned,
with J. L. Thornley. the furniture if
the room apartments on the second anil
third floors. Mr. Wright estimated hi
loss on his grocery at $4000. with an
Insurance of 1:500. The loss of the
furnltara In the upstairs apartments
Jointly with Mr. Thornley. he said, was
13000. on which there was I1J00 Insur
ance. The other tenants on the first
floor were: Western Union and Wells
Kaxgo Expreea Companies' offices, loss
nominal: Modern Electric company.
loss $1000; Ross Cooley, barber shop,
loss 9350. Insurance about 9250; Pete
G. Papaa. notions, loss tit: Arthur W.
Volley, cigars and notions, loss about
t-50. no Insurance; J. J. Kelly, harness
store, loss about 9500, Insurance not
known: Model Cleaning at Pressing
Hoom. loss nominal; O'Donnell Hard
ware Company, store adjoining the one
burned, damaged by water, about 91000,
covered by insurance.
Every part of the building Is dam
aged by fire and water, and can hardly
be repaired without heavy expenae. As
this corner Is of great value, the frame
building will probably be replaced with
a fireproof structure, as It Is within
the fire limits.
This is the second fir. that had
started at this place, the former one
being extinguished before it got under
headway.

Party In Special Train Makes Ini
tial Run Over Central Oregon
Road Work Is Going Ahead
Rapidly to Madras.
Judge Robert B. Lovett. head of the
Harriman Railway system, yesterday in
spected the S miles of the Deschutes
Railroad that ha. been . completed and
told Chief Engineer George W. Boschke
that he waa well pleased with the line.
Judge Lovett returned to Portland from
Seattle and Tacoma yetserday morning
at 7:90 o'clock and ten minutes later, he
was speeding Eastward In a special train.
In the journey, the president of the
road took particular note of the line
change, and double tracking In progress
of construction between The Dalles and
Deeichutes station. At the junction of the
new Central Oregon road at Deschutes,
the train waa switched back to the new
tracks and backed up the canyon, that
an unobstructed view might be obtained
from the observation windows.
Apparently, the Deschutes railroad will
be ready for operation of passenger trains
almost as soon as the rails are laid into
Madras. The ballasting of the track la
keeping pace with the laying of rails and
all but about the last mile of track, as
now laid. Is firm and smooth.'
Road Built for Speed.
In the canyon, the special train made
an average speed of 20 miles an hoar
and at times attained a maximum of 30
miles. After the return. Engineer Boschke
declared that most of the completed road
aould now carry trains with comfort at
a epred of. 50 miles an hour.
Trarklaying Is now held back tempor
arily pendiwg th. completion of a high
viaduct across the mouth of Mack's can
yon." a gulch that runs Into the Des
chutes canyon from the east. This via
duct will be completed this week and It
Is then expected that trarklaying will
proceed, with the Interruption of possibly
only a few days at a tunnel near
Sherar's bridge, almost to the point
where the road is to be occupied jointly
by the Deschutes Railroad Company and
the Oregon Trunk Line. This will make
a total distance of 70 miles of track.
On the joint track a line change has
recently been made whicb calls for the
boring of a tunnel and it Is probable that
trarklaying on the Harriman road will
be delayed at that point. It Is under
stood that the contract between the two
roads calls for th. Oregon Trunk Line
to lay the tracks on the 12 miles of joint
line In the oanyon. The latter la not yet
laying rails anywhere on the grade but
la preparing to begin that wore this
month. The Oregon Trunk Line ia now
constructing a temporary track leading
to a long trestle already built which ex
tends fsr out Into the Columbia River
near the mouth of the Deschutes, and
rails and ties will soon be transported
across the river by ferry from the North
Bank road. . v
Scenic Country Passed Through.
Judge Lovett yesterday saw about
one-fourth of the Harriman road as
It will exist between Deschutes and
Madras, but the most rugged part of
the canvon was not reached by his
train. Near the mouth of the river ther
sides of the canyon are more sloping
and not ao high as they are at a dis
tance up the sfream of 40 miles and
beyond but in places yesterday the
train sped along roadbed blasted from
solid rock, where the cliffs frowned
high above the cars and dropped off
straight down nearly 100 feet to the
water. On the trip up the river Judge
Lovett asked many questions concern
ing the curvatures and grades but at
the end of the track no protracted stop
was made and he did not leave his car.
The train almost Immediately began
the return trip and once on the main
line of the O. R. & N. began Its Journey
eastward.
Deschutes station la still utilized as
the main material yards of the new road.
Bridge steel for the larger viaducts Is
beginning to accumulate and a new lo
comotive crane Is on the sidetracks wait-In-
to assist In awinalng tbe steel for the
wiaduce that will stretch across Trout
Creek. This viaduct will be nearly one
third of a mile long and in places 250
feet high.
Formations Itnerest aPrty.
Aside from the new construction work
what seemed to interest those members
of the party who were making their first
trip over the rail route to Central Ore
gon were the formations of columnar
basalt of which there as possibly no
more remarkable specimens found in the
country, at least so close to a railroad,
as those In the Deschutes canyon.
In many places the rock has formed
In columns almost as perfect as porch
pillars, sometimes set on end and again
Jutting from the surrounding cliffs in
great numbers and having the appear
ance of giant sticks of wood.
Between The Dalles and the point
where the Deschutes roads' makes its
junction with the main line, a distance of
14 miles, the main line of the O. R. A N.
Is being practically rebuilt. In this sec
tion there are several sharp curvatures
and heavy grades. Where the psesent
line Is satisfactory a second track is be
ing laid, but for a part of the distance a
new roadbed is being blasted from the
rock sides of the Columbia River gorge.
At other places, where the current of the
river at high water' In other years had
cut deeply Into the cliffs, the original
line closely follows the base of .the
bluffs. Straight across these indenta
tions high rock fills are under construc
tion which will serve to straighten out
the bad kinds In the road. These fills
will carry double tracks, and when in
use the present line will be abandoned.
Line Being Made Over.
At other places where the grade Is be
ing materially changed, long stretches
of track now utilized will also be super
ceded wholly. Along other sections- of
the work the new grade, standing higher
than the present grade, is so close that
it will be necessary for a time to use a
single track on the new grade while the
filla are being widened to cover tne oia
t racks. This 14 miles of Improvement
ia costing the company about 1800,000.
The Vpeclal train that carried Judge
Lovett and party yesterday consisted of
bis own car. Vice-President O'Brien's
private car and a coach to take up the
jolting of the engine. The popular Im
pression that when a president or a
great railroad travels by special train
he files along at the maximum speed
limit Is apparently not fulfilled in the
case of the head of the Harriman sys
tem.
Lovett Travels Slowly.
This Impression seems to exist among
trainmen, or perhaps the crew with a
pride in their accomplishments and a
clear right of way desire to Bhow the
president what they can do. Yesterday
Vice-President O'Brien sent word for
ward to make an easy run.' These In
structions had a wide latitude between
Portland and The Dalles, for that is th.;
best portion of the O. R, A N. system
and the train was barely out oi aum
van's gulch before the the indicators in
the private cars showed a speed of aO
miles an hour. Then specific Instruc
tion went forward, and they were to
hold the speed down to 35 miles an
hour.
Accompanying Judge Lovett yester
day were J. P. O Brien. vice-president
G. W. Baschke. chief engineer: L. C.
McCoy, assistant engine; Carl Stradley,
locating engineer of the Oregon Short
Line; L. H. Cornell, secretary to Judge
Lovett; Coulsen Soule, secretaryto ir
O'Brien, and an Oregonlan representative.
Of the Portland members of the party
Mr. vs Brien, Mr. Boschke and Mr. Soulo
went on to Pendleton, where all spent
the night. Judge Lovett expecteel to
go on East today.

Klamath Falls Will Prosecute Youth
on Forgery Charge.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) Sheriff Barnes, of this county, Is
on his way to Santa Monica. CaL, to
bring back Walter E. Bowen, 23, who
is wanted here on the charge of forgery.
Several weeks ago Bowen purchased a
watch of H. J. Winters, a local Jeweler,
for 932, and gave in payment therefor
a. check for 960. Mr. Winters hesitated
about paying the check as it was signed
by O. L. Purdy, proprietor of the Model
Bakery, and the young man who pre
sented the check was a stranger to him.
But Bowen explained that by saying that
Mrs. Purdy was his sister and that she
had 9300 of his money In the bank and
that Mr. Purdy had given him authority
to sign his name to checks for that
amount. Mr. and Mrs. Purdy were in
the mountains camping and could not be
reached, and Mr. Winters gac the young

fellow the watch and the difference be
tween that price and the amount of the
check, 918.
Nothing was heard from him until 9
few days ago, when a letter was re
ceived by the Klamath Lumber Com
pany from Bowen asking that the lum
ber company send him 95.50, due him for
work, to the address he gave in Santa
Monica, Cal. The clerk in the lumber
company knew of ' the forging of Mr.
Purdy's name to the checks and turned
the letter over to the officers, and they
at once telegraphed to the police at
Santa Monica asking that Bowen be ar
rested, which was done, and Sheriff
Barnes is now on his way south for his
man.
