Ifire in Miuam for est controlled. British Columbia Great dam age reported through Kootenay woods and several towns are in road of fires, one of which is running toward Canadian border from state of Washington. IIOQUIAM Wash.. July 24. (Spe cial.) Two fires are burning now in the vicinity of Aloha, one threatening the town and the other started mys teriously in the company's logging works and threatening about 3l acres of cut timber. Men are fighting both fires and this evening reports were that they believed, they were under control. Another fire is burning- in a logging works on the south side of the harbor, but late reports said it had been con trolled and it was not believed it would do any damage. The fire which last night threatened Aloha and the Aloha Lumber Com pany's plant was gotten under control apparently this morning, when the shifted to the sout h' and carried I the fire out of the green timber. Dur ing the night it reached two resi dences, those of R. Rae and I. C. Hutch inson, employed at Aloha, located near Joe Creek, and both were destroyed. During the afternoon the wind again shifted to the northwest, and it was feared this evening the fire might be fanned into dangerous proportions again. Fire started nearly two miles from the other in the Aloha Company's log ping works this afternoon on the wind ward side of the works and of the cut timber. Indications are it was set, though it may have been accidental. The wind was carrying it toward the down timber, but" opportunities for fighting it were good tonight and it was believed it would be kept out of the logs. The company has about 1.500.000 high-grade spruce and cedar down and if the fire got into it the loss would be heavy. MISSOULA. Mont.. July 23. Six fires in the Yak River Valley, in Northern Montana, declared to be incendiary, have greatly aggravated a forest fire situation which is threatening millions 0 dollars' worth of timber in Montana and is said by Federal officials to be the most menacing in several years. An army of 1200 men is fighting the fires in Western Montana, and Northern Idaho. Parched by the most severe drouth in 25 years, the forests in West ern Montana and Northern Idaho are declared to be dryer than they were in 1910. when a general conflagration swept through the Coeur d'Alene coun try, destroying timber worth $15,000,000 nd costing nearly a hundred lives. District Forester F. A. Silcox today said that the indications point toward a disaster as serious as that of 1910. As far as is known here, 110 one lias been killed by the fires. KOOTEXAV WOODS IX FLAMES Several Towns In British. Columbia Are Reported Endangered. NELSON. B. C. July 24. With vege tation tinder dry after a month of un broken drought, forest fires are start ing in many places throughout the Kootenay woods, while from the state of Washington one great fire is re ported traveling rapidly toward the British Columbia town .of Patterson, near the boundary, in spite of the ef forts of 200 men who are fighting th blaze. Other fires are reported to be raging in the Arrow Lake district, in the Lardo district and at Fruitvale, B. C. Thus far, crews of men have suc ceeded in turning back the flames from the towns, but much valuable timber lias been destroyed. The value of the timber cannot be approximated. No loss of life has been reported. It is the general opinion that only rain in large quantities will stop the fires now ASHLAND WATER IS MENACED Forest Fire Renews Fury After Having Subsided. ASHLAND, Or.. July 24. (Special.) A hig forest fire is raging in the watershed of Ashland Creek and un less it is extinguished soon the water supply of Ashland will be badly dam aged. The fire has been burning for sev eral days and was corralled several times, but broke forth with renewed fury Sunday night. It has burned over an area of about 200 acres and has now entered a section of the National for est reserve, which embodies several hundred acres of the best timber in this part of the atate. The timber also acts mm a natural protection of the snow on the slopes of Mount Ashland, which eupply Ashland Creek, the source of Ashland's water supply, with water. Forest Ranger Gribble has left for the fire with two carloads of men. I. TV. TV. THREATS ARE SLIDE Company of Home Guards Sworn In to Protect Property. GRANTS PASS, Or.. July 24. (Spe cial.) The belief that members of the J. W. W. are extending operations to Josephine County are becoming gen eral. On Monday J. B. De Grass, of Salem. 20 miles from this city, saw three men in his field and when he went to investigate they fled. Later he found on his mailbox a note read ing: " Beware, we are going to burn up Josephine County," signed. "I. W. W." i'ortst files have becowa more gcnciaa in that section and no sooner is one extinguished than several others are discovered, and it is feared the threat is being made good. None of the fires has assumed seri ous proportions. Sheriff Lewis has sworn in a company of 60 home guards as. Deputy Sheriffs, who will be sum moned if needed. The temper of the citizens of this district indicates that any persons caught wantonly destroying property will be summarily dealt with. THREE IiAXE FIRES REPORTED Comparatively Little Damage Is Said to Have Resulted. EUGENE, Or.. July 24. (Special.) Three forest fires were reported burn ing in Lane County today. One fire is located near the Notl tunnel, along the line of the Coos Bay line of the Southern Tacific system. It is burning in green timber. A second fire is in progress near the bead of Wolf Creek, southwest of Kugene. -V crew of 70 men is reported fight ing a fire in the vicinity o" Disston, Southwestern Lane County. So far comparatively little damage has resulted, according to Carl V. Oglesby, supervising warden for the Western Lane County l'ire Patrol As sociation. The underbrush and timber are very dry and forest officers and guards are exercising the greatest precautions against possible disaster. MIXAM FIRE IS COXTROLLED Blaze Difficult to Combat, as Loca tion Is Hard to Reach. BAKER. Or., July 24. (Special.) Reports of a 20-acre fire raging on the banks of Looking Glass Lake, in the Eagle Mountain district, have reached the Minam forest office, according to Ephraim Barnes, supervisor. At last report the fire was under control, but is still burning. This is the largest fire of the season in either the Whitman or Minam re serves. Supervisor Evans reports that sev eral small fires have been discovered during the last week, but all have been extinguished before any extensive dam age had been done. Supervisor Bi.rn.es says that the Looking Glass fire is in an almost inaccessible place and has been difficult to control. FARMER TAKEN FOR I. W. TV. Silverton.

MILIj CREEK FIRE COXTROLLED Forty Acres of Timber and 1000 of Logged-Off I,and Burned. DALLAS. Or., July 24. (Special.) The forest fire in the Sheridan Lumber Company's works on Mill Creek seem to be under control, according to the report of District Fire Warden Fuller.

General Superintendent McGibbon led the fight and the crew was highly commended for the prompt response to the call. Santiam Forest Still Safe. ALBANY, Or., July 24. (Special.) There has been but one reported fire in the Santiam National Forest this season, and that one was of small con sequence. Supervisor Hall has left Albany for a general inspection trip through the forest. The lower ranges are said to be very dry, while there is still sufficient snow in the upper ranges to make the fire risk neglig ible there for another week or so, after which time, unless there is a heavy rain, the fire hazard will be great. ITse of Soldiers Asked If Needed. HliLENA. Mont., July 24. Governor S. V. Stewart today communicated with the Western Department of the Army, and asked the commander if the Na tional Guards in the state would be available for firefighting service in case they were needed.

DREDGING WILL FOLLOW Work Expected to Be Possible In Few Days When Water Falls to 12-Foot Stage Fort of Port land May Be Asked for Aid. Preparatory to the resumption of dredging in the Columbia River, where it is known considerable sediment has been carried by the freshet, a party of river pilots will leave this morning for a preliminary sounding trip as far as Astoria, and, on the general conditions being ascertained that way, a more minute survey will be made at certain points on the return. At the rate the water is running out, it is felt that only a few days will elapse before dredging can be carried on at a few places, probably .hen the stream reaches a stage of 12 feet above zero here. It was 14.3 feet yesterday, having fallen five-tenths of a foot iu the preceding 24 hours. The United States engineers have the dredge Clatsop operating in the estuary. in addition to the Chinook being at the entrance of the Columbia, and the pipeline dredges Multnomah and Wah kiakum have been overhauled for serv ice between the mouth of the Willam ette and Brookfield. Should the sounding trip of the pilots indicate more work should be done in less time than the Multnomah and Wahkiakum can do it, it is not im probable the Port of Portland may be asked to assist with one or more of its 30-inch dredges. In the past the Port of Portland has done its share in the Columbia River, at times dredges being in service un der lease to the Government, but in the Multnomah and Wahkiakum were constructed, and when placed in opera tion, an understanding was arriv J at through which the Port of Portland agreed to look after the marine road below the mouth of the Willamette and this city. There are said to be funds on hand now that will carry the two Govern ment diggers through the season, so that whatever sediment has been de posited can be removed to the 30-foot mark, and it is fully expected the forth coming rivers and harbors b.ll will carry with it the necessary appropria tion to insure the usual maintenance work. ERXEST II. MEYER ARRIVES Portland-Owned Steamer Hero on Her Maiden Voyage for Lumber. On her first trip to the scene of her building, the new steamer Ernest H. Meyer, owned by the Broughton & Wiggins "Navigation Company, entered the river at 9:45 o'clock yesterday morning from the Golden Gate and went to St. Helens for a lumber cargo. She made more than 12 miles an hour on her trial trip last week and is rated among the fastest of her type on the Coast. The' vessel was built at As toria, Wilson Bros, having had the con tract, and, though ordered by the Charles R. McCormick Company, was purchased by her present owners. The machinery was installed in the south Stockholders in the company are all Portlanders. The Klamath, of the McCormick flag. is bringing a general cargo to the Parr McCormick line to be discharged at Couch-street dock, after which she pro ceeds to St. Helens for lumber.

COPPER SHIPMENTS ARE HEAVY Alaska Product Being Shipped to Ta coma Smelter. SEATTLE. July 24. (Special.) Heavy shipments of copper being re ceived from Alaska ports indicate con siderable activity in the mines of the territory, for all vessels reaching port from the north have large cargoes of ore. The Admiral Goodrich is in port after bringing about 3000 tons, while the steamers Cordova, La Touche and Vic toria are due to arrive this week with a total exceeding 10,000 tons from the Cordova and Ellamar mines. The steamers Amar and Henrlett, operated by James Griffiths & Sons to Anyox, are also due tomorrow, each bringing more than 400 tons from the new British Columbia fields. The last two vessels will soon be reinforced on the Anyox run by the new steamer Anyox, being built at Winslow, and which is to be launched August 2. All of this ore Is being reduced at the Ta coma smelter. OSEOXT.V is earning mosey Loss of Repair Job on Sinaloa In creases Kate on Port's Tug. Because the Port of Portland tupr Oneonta Is towinjr the Norwegian steamer Sinaloa to San Francisco, in stead of to this city, she is costing the underwriters $100 more a day. The tui? and her to are expected to reach the Golden Gate today from Cape Blanco, where the steamer went ashore about a month ago and was floated last week. "When the Oneonta was bargained for it was the understanding the Sinaloa was to be brought to Portland for repairs, so the Port of Portland Com mission fixed a price of $200 a day for her hire. At the Last regular meet ing the matter was discussed relative to the prospects of the ship being taken south and if that was carried out the' board insisted that $300 a day be the charge. As the rate applies from the departure of the tug- from the river July 17 until she returns, about SJOUO will be reaped. SMOLDERING DEltELICT SEEN" Scliooner of About 600 Tons Is Burned to Water's Edge. SAX FRANCISCO, July 24.

She sailed from Port PIrio for San Francisco in February, but put into Wellington for the performance of cer tain work and then loaded a full cargo, so it was not until almost a month ago that she put to sea. San Fran cisco reports had it that the Else was more than 140 days at sea, the time being calculated from the time of her departure from Port Pirie. Captain Zolling is in charge of the vessel, which was built at Tacoma. and while intended for an auxiliary schooner, her engines were not installed. ELEVATOR SITE NOT CHOSEN Dock Body Falls to Pick Location at Execudve Gathering.

The gathering convened at 10 o'clock and did not ad journ until after 12. There will be a regular meeting of the commission to morrow morning, when the subject may again be taken up. It was said that more reports were desired yesterday covering some of the sites and it was assumed that all of the members have not the same views as to the property. It is thought there is a strong probability that steps will be taken tomorrow to expedite the sale of Jl, 000,000 of $3,000,000 bonds authorized by the voters in June, so that money may be available as soon as possible, as it is believed a site selec tion will be made before the week ends.
