Burning through green timber, the big
forest fire on Seven-Mil Moantaln
Continued to spread rapidly today. The
fire Jumped the line the firefighters
fcad established on the edge of the
green timber at Snow Creek last night
and with hope gone of stopping lta on
ward progress at this- point, the forest
rangers must concentrate their fight at
a new line of defense farther up the
mountain.
Alarmed at the propr.ee of thla fire
lato green timber, the Government for
est service Is rushing men to the scene
as fast as they ran be secured. Twen
ty men were at work at the Are thla
morning and District Supervisor Mac
futt sent 14 more from Albany and
Lebanon last night and thla morning.
These men were expected to reach the
fir tonight. MacPuff arranged today
to send several more men tomorrow
from Brownsville and Crawfordsvllle.
as well as from this city.
Accompanying; the crew which left
Albany this moraine; was Forest
Ranger Btahlman. of Detroit, who ha
had wide experience In fighting fires
and will take charge of operations on
Ceven-Mlle Mouatatn.
Besides the 40 men which the Gov
ernment forest aervic now haa at thla
fre. the Willamette Valley Caacade
Mountain Wagon Road Company has a
crew fighting the blue along the road
In an effort ty restore traffic on this
highway, which the flame, burning
en both sides, have stopped.
Fanned by a atrong wind the forest
ft re two miles east of Niagara Jumped
the North Santtam River today, cross
ing from the Linn County to the Mar
lon County side of the river, and Is now
burning along both banks of that
Stream.
After Jumping the river the fir
spread rapidly along the north aide of
the atream and Is now burning on both
des of the Corvallls Eastern Rail
road for a mile and a half.
Railroad Men FlgM Fire.
The railroad company has a big crew
ef men with an engine and water car
constantly patrolling the track through
the (ire son and haa thua far kept
the track clear. Burning treea are
flllng across the rails and ties are
catching fir frequently, but th pa
trol as promptly extinguished these
biases and the track haa suffered no
damage thua far. Trafflo ovfr th line
continued today and the railroad offi
cials her say that unlee the Or be
comes more dangerous than at present
they will be able to keep train run
ning through th fir son.
Running rapidly through brush and
small trees, this fire had developed
into a big on today. Thua far It has
sot burned any large timber. There
Is considerable green timber In the
area now burning but It la second
growth. Th mountains which rise
from the river bask In this vicinity are
all covered with deep moes and flying
brands have gained a foothold In this
xnoss over a wide extent of country.
T. H. Watklna, state supervising fire
wardea for Linn County, left Albany
this morning with eight men to light a
--rest fir about flv miles northeast
f Gate. This Are. like that near Nl-
cara. I outside th Government re
err. Supervisor MacDuff. In charge of the
headquarters of th 8astiara district
B.re. sent six men from Albany this
morning to light the fire on the ridge
between .French Creek and Etkhorn
Creek, about 11 mllee In an air line
from Elkhorn posiorace. No late re
ports bave been received, but early re
ports Indicated that It was dangerous.
It l not known whether this blase is
In green Umber or an eld burn, but
there are large belts of green timber
in Its immediate vicinity.
No further reports reached here today
regarding the fire near the Pyramids on
the headwaters of th middle fork of
t.ie South Santlam River, about 14 miles
northeast of Caeca die. Rangers sent
tere have probably tried to stop the
blsie with the force already there in
stead of coming out to report Its six.
New Fire In Santlam.
A new Ore In the gantlam district
as reported her today. Thla Is burn
ing near the summit of the mountains
In the southeastern corner of Linn
County, close to the headwaters of the
McKensI River, about 1 miles east of
Lucky Boy poatofflce. Nothing definite
Is known about Its size.
This makes six fires now burning In
tMs part of the state, four of which are
In the Government reserve and two Just
outside the boundaries of the Santlam
National forest. But a fortunate cir
cumstance In connection with th many
ftres In this part of the Stat this Sum
mer Is that almost all have been con
fined to old burns. The only one of
the present fires known positively to
be fn green timber is the big confla
gration on "even-Mile Mountain. It Is
poeslble. however, that eome of the
other fires concerning which no details
hare been received are also In green
timber. It Is very probable that this Is
the case regarding th nre on the ridge
between French and Elkhorn Creeks.
With firefighters leaving Albany this
morning for thrse different Ores, the
demand for men to combat the confla
grations has exceeded the supply. Of
ficials of both, th stats and Govern
ment forest service snsde active search
for men last night, and the Govern
ment office haa been seeking helpers all
day.

MARSH FIELD. Or.. Aug. 25. (Spe
cial.) Last night. In danger of sink
ing In th ocean, the stesm schooner
Saginaw Is tonight Inside Coos Bay,
resting partly submerged on the mud
flat at the edge of the channel In front
of Marshfleld.
When towed to the upper bay, she
listed, and was rapidly filling with
water, and to prevent her sinking the
vessel was towed to the edg of the
channel, where she could rest on the
mud In shallow water. A diver has
boea sent for. and will repair th hole
In the bow. when the water will be
pumped out. the cargo removed and
permanent repairs made"
Until early this rooming It was feared
that the Saginaw would sink outside
Coos Bay, but she was brought over
ths bar by the steamer Redondo. of the
C A. Smith lln. which, with the life
saving crew, had stood by all night.
The Saginaw struck an uncharted
rock off Capo Blanco yesterday morn
ing. She filled with water and was In
a sinking condition and helpless when
picked up off Capo Blanco by the Re
dondo which had left here with ' pas
sengers and a cargo of lumber for San
Francisco. Heavy fog made It Impos
sible to tow the disabled vessel Into th
bay until 11 o'clock this morning.
The Redondo kept a lln on the Sag
inaw all night, and th life-saving craw
stayed close to ths veese.1 to give as
sistance, but Captain P. M. Koffold and
th crew of 14 men stayed aboard the
apparently sinking vessel. The Sag
inaw, which Is owned by th Hart Wood
Lumber Company, waa loaded with 00
tons of cement and ISO tons of gen
eral merchandise. Last night many
barrels of asphalt wer thrown off th
top of the deck load to lighten the ves
sel. The vessel Is not damaged, except for
th hole In th bow. though th cargo
of cement and merchandise la probably
ruined. Aa th Saginaw waa sinking
and utterlv helpless when picked up by
Captain Will Mage, of the Redondo. It
Is said that th salvage will b large.
Captain Mage, on bis last trip up
from California, picked up another ves
sel In distress.

CATCH OF SALMON
IS BEST IN YEARS
Open Fishing Season on Co
lumbia Ended Yesterday;
Pack Extra Large.
FISHERMEN MAKE, MONEY
GtUneUers Especially Have Done
Well. While Lower RlTer Pack
Ins Plant Have Had All Sal
mon They Can Handle.
ASTORIA. Or.. Ang. 25. (Special.
The Spring fishing season on the Co
lumbia River ended at noon today. It
has been th banner season for sev
eral years, both In th amount of fish
packed and In the sums paid the fish
ermen for the raw material. This has
been especially true on the lower river,
where th great bulk of th catch was
put up.
The season was a peculiar on, in
that there has not been, since the open
ing day on Msy 1. what Is generally
known aa a "run" of fish, but the sal
mon hav come Into the river In a
steady stream.
Again, the long-continued freshet
kept plenty of fresh water In the low
er harbor, and there the fish stayed
without attempting to go up stream.
The result ha been that with the
single exception of on week, abont the
middle of the season, the lower river
packing plant have had about all the
fish they could comfortably handle and
the parka were put up when th fish
were strictly fresh and In prim con
dition. I'ntfl about a month aa-o very few
fish were taken above Tongue Point,
and In th npper river, near th Cas
cades, th catch has been almost noth
ing, excepting in the first ten day
of the season, when fair hauls were
made there. It haa been what might
be termed a gUInetter' year, and that
class of gear met with exceptional suc
cess, the best In many years, hi fact.
All Fishermen Proppr.
' While It Is yet too early to secure
figures regarding individual catches,
there Is every reason to believe that
the "high boat" will have more than
10 tons to Its credit. The selnea and
traps also did well during the past
month, and virtually all are ahead of
last year, whll some, especially the
seines on Sand Island and the outside
traps In Bakers Bay. have made large
catches.
On account of the strong demand
for canned salmon, and .that at the
highest prices ever paid, th packers
gave particular attention to this pro
duct, and no fish weighing under 20
pounds wer tarred Into th cold stor
age plants As a result, th canned
pack is mora than 100.000 cases In ex
cess of the amount put up last year,
and every case has been sold with a
strong demand for more.
It was thought for a time that the
pack of cold storage or pickled fish
would be less than that of 110. but
Investigation shows that while some
of th plants put up less than they did
last season, other Increased their
pack, so that the total Is approxi
mately the same. Th catch of steel
head, however, was small, and the out
put of thla class of fish Is about half
what It waa for last season.
Estimates Hard to Obtain.
To secure accurate figures on the
pack thus early Is virtually Impos
sible, for th double reason that many
of the packers are averse to giving
out definite Information and that so
much of the csnned product Is now
put op In half cases of 24 pounds each.
As near as can be esttmsted. however,
and thla estimate Is based on the opin
ions of well posted men. the total
canned product amounts to about 425,
00(1 cases "as they run."
Of thla amount, fully 40 per cent are
what are termed half cases, so thst
th aggregate pack of full cases, that
Is, rases containing four doxen one
pound cans each. Is In the neighbor
hood of 140.000, ss against 20B.ST5 on
the same-basts last year. Thla pack
represents about 10.400,000 pounds of
raw fish.
The estimated cold storage or pickled
fish pack totals S150 tierces.. Each of
these tierces contains n0 pounds of
cured fish and represents 1100 pounds
of raw fish, or a total of S.6SS.000
pounds.
Aside from these. 1.100 boxes of fros
en steelheads. weighing ITS pounds
each, were put up. making a grand to
tal of 2.477.t00 pounds of raw fish
cured at th various packing plants
Toilers Make $1,853,485.
As tha prices paid the fishermen rsnge
from I to TH cents a pound, with s
bonus of 110 a ton. an average of 7
cents a pound Is certainly conserva
tive, and showa that aa a result of the
fishing season $1.8(3.41 will be dis
tributed among the working people of
this district in addition to th large
sums that were expended In transport
ing th fish to the plants and for la
bor and material In packing them.
This la also aside from th sum re
ceived for fish shipped for the fresh
markets, of which there ta no way of
securing an accurate estimate.
The number of cases of canned sal
mon, as they run. put up by th In
dividual companies, about 40 per rent
of which are half cases. Is estlmatsd as

LIGHT SHED ON TRAGEDY
WOMAN WHO FLEW PROSSER
BLAMES PRESENT SPOUSE.
Mr. F. E. Pcott, of Grant Pass,
Tells Evidence Xot Brought Ont
In Her Llbby. Mont., Trial.
GRANTS PASS, Or, Aug. 2S. (Spe
cial.) Light was thrown today on the
killing one year ago of Reese T. Pro
ser on a railroad train at Libby, Mont
by his wife who Is now Mrs. Lloyd E.
Scott, of thl 'city. Mrs. Scott. In a
voluntary statement addresaed to Tha
Oregonlan. declares that the shot
aimed by her that killed her first hus
band waa fired In a quarrel over Scott
whom she married after her acquittal
of murder.
She also declares that she shielded
Scott throughout . her trial and Is
prompted to expose him for alleged
mistreatment of her. Recently Mrs.
Scott had her husband arrested for
the alleged theft of her diamonds.
Mr. Scott's statement Is:
"My husband. Lloyd E. Scott, treated
me very cruelly, I'm orry to admit.
Mr. Scott and I purchased a seven-acre
ranch here. I Invested over $2200 and
a diamond ring valued at 115. I was
o glad to get away from gossip and
start over new. We were both happy
and worked very hard.
"Things went swimmingly until his
imother, Mrs. Mary Scott, of Blooming-
ton, 111., kept writing him to go oac
Rast and leave me. Then hi partner.
Clarence E. Lucore, wrote him to re
turn, as if he wer against me. Next
came a ten-pag letter from Pearl E.
Scott, my husband's brother, calling
ma names and telling my husband that
I waa an Insane demon, that I married
him for revenge, -that I was going to
kill him and to leave me here and go
East at one. That was all uncalled
for, as I never did them any harm. 1
simply kept away from them while In
the East.
"The day all of my diamonds were
stolen my husband pacKed up "his
clothes and left me, taking all the
money I had Intrusted to him. th horse
and buggy and everything salablo.
That'a why I put Mm In JalL He got
what he deserved. He was leaving me
penniless tor hla mother.
"C E. Lucore and my husband run
specstl sales for piano house. As soon
as Mr. Scott and I were married he
made me stand on my feet from morn
ing until 10 o'clock at night selling
pianos. I got tired of customers so
wanted to get out of th game to earn
a better living.
"The paper Bald I lived with Mr.
Scott several month before we were
mrrled. That's false. I did In De
cember, 1910. when he passed me aa
his wife." We didn't marry sooner for
I was afraid of newspaper notoriety,
and ss I bad the sympathy of ths entire
country. I didn't want to get In bad
and have folk blame me. My trial
at Libby. Mont., cost me over f 12,000
and I protected Mr. Scott' name. I
never allowed hts nam to be pub
lished. I loved Mm and protected him.
"Reese T. Prosser requested m to
accompany him East. I waa on th
train by appointment. I had witnesses
from all over the state but It wasn't
necessary to put me on the stand. The
fight on that train that caused th
killing wa over L. E. Scott. He might
be tried yat. I am penniless now and
have been wronged terribly." ,
