Though the area of destruction was less than 100 feet square, the fir presented the most obstinate problem which the fire de partment has wrestled . with since the burning of the Union Oil Company's storehouse, when Chief Campbell lost his life.

Three alarms came In rapid succession, shortly after 1:30 P. M, and a great plume of smoke arose and floated across the city. An alarm from Front and Caruthers streets was foUowed almost Immediate ly by a call from the mill compafty s box. and that, at an Interval of five minutes, by one from First and Harri son streets. Apparatus from all parts of the city responded, as did the lire boat, and in remarkably quick time a dozen streams were playing on the flames. The fire broke out at the. extreme southern part of the. company's lumber piles, at the edge of a big fill, made of sawdust. The report was current in the crowd that small boys of the neigh borhood had kindled a bonfire m tne edge of the sawdust, dui mis .uu.u be confirmed. The point where the fire began Is within a short distance of the Southern Pacific Oswego line, and It Is possible that a spark from an engine may have smoldered long In the sawdust-until fanned by the light breeze into a blaze. One pile of lumber, containing more than 50.000 feet, took fire at once, and others were charred by the fierce heat. "Water seemed o make no Impression on the fire, which hid In the crevices between the layers of boards. Though the reservoirs were sadly depleted, four lines of hose played for two hours on the heap of sawdust, because there was no other way to control the blaze. Many acres of ground, covered 20 feet deep with mill waste, were behind the eating flames, which had a clear course to the immense stores of lumber and the great plant of the mill. Had there been wind of any force, the fight would have been much harder.
