FOR HIICK RESULTS.
The outstanding feature of yes-s
terday's fire at the Thman-Poul
sen mill was the remarkable
work of the Fire Department. In
the vernacular tf the' depart
ment, it was a ''Ine stop." '.
. The first alarm, came in at ex
actly 2:58 from box 258. .At' 3:03
o'clock Captain Grenfell, of en
gine 3. turned in the -dreaded
"three threes" of a third alarm.
At that moment almost the en
tire south end of the mill was in
flames. .
It was right after this that the
fireboat David Campbell concen
trated a stream from her forward
turret nozzle, with the full pow
er of two pumps behind it.
At 3:14 P. M. the fire was un
der control and a recall had
been founded. x
"Chief," said Colonel Kobert
D. Inman to Fire Chief . Dowell,
"Jyour men did wonderful work.
I thought the whole mill was
gone."

ington, Feb. 17. Representative Haw
ley today called on Secretary Daniels
and discussed at some length his bill
proposing to establish a new naval
base on the Columbia River near As
toria. . ' . t
While the 'Secretary didhot commit
himself absolutely his comments were1
favorable, and Mr. Hawley 'was grat
ified ' by the interest the Secretary
showed.
Secretary Daniels said bis depart
ment had not formulated thaUpart of
its programme which looks to the es
tablishment of new shore stations, and
explained that much would dependston
sfie authority granted by Congress. He
strongly intimated that if. he could not
recommend a full naval' baafe for 'the
Columbia River, the department might
at least favor the establishment of a
submarine base. .;
Secretary Daniels was impressed with
Mr. Hawley's showing as to the depth
of water in the river and over the bar
and, said he fwas not sure 'of the ade
quate labor supply on the Columbia.

Controversy Ovcf Lusitania '
Has Been Settled.
Fire, which started under the doubse
circular saw of the Inman-Poulsen
mill, foot of East Sherman street, yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock, destroyed
t property valued at approximately 1150,
000. The fire was confined to the oper
atinfr plant of the 'mill, none pf the
lumber in the yards being burned. Ac
cording to the statement of Johan
Poulsen, secretary-treasurer of the com
pany, the insurance on the loss will be
SO pjer cent.
Work of rebuilding the plant and
reinstalling the new , machinery neces
sary will be done as soon as the in
surance adjustments have been made.
IdlenrM to Last HO Dars,
It is estimated by R. D. Inman, presi
dent of the company, that at least SO
days will be consumed irK. rebuilding,
meaning that more than 200 men out
of the total of "250 employed by the
company will be oufof cmpjoy'roent
during that time.
The Inman-Poulsen mill is the larg-
est on the river, and has a 10-hour ca
. paclty of 360,000 feet.
Despite the" difficulty of the engine
. companies in getting an adequate water
supply, due to the location of the mill,
and despite the fact that the mill was
a mass of flames by the trme the first
engine company arrived, the fire had
been controlled within half an hour
after the alarm was turned in.
Cause Not Determined.
Just what the cause of the. Are was
-Is undetermined. Statements of men
in the vicinity of the fire when it
first broke out indicate it started from
an overheated belt, coming In connec
tion with some inflammable matecial.
The aptness of coincidence was never
more strikingly illustrated than by th
fact that the first alarm was sent in
from box 25? at exactly 2:58 o'clock.
Within two minutes- after therfire
was discovered the entire h-ectfon '" of

to R. J. Coates. head sawyer, who was
in charge there.
"The first I knew of the fire," tie
said, "was when I smelt something like
a. belt smoking and a puff of smoke
came up from beneath the saw husk.
Then I saw a flame. I .stopped the
engine operating the saw immediately
and locked the saw lever. Then with
all possible speed we ran to the mill
firehouse about 100 feet away. When
we returned with the hose and began
playing the stream of water upon the
flames the entire end of the mill was
ablaze. i .

States for co-operation-, with the
Swedish government and other neutral
nations to maintain the preservation of

Th'epolice are as yet undecided
whether the shootlns was the, result
of a tong war or crew out of the In

The shooting occurred shortly after
7 o'clock, while tho streets were still

without aec-OHtlng his victims. The

The attitude of the Hop Sinus,
