rtailroad Trestle CaTes In, Carrying
Firemen Down; One Man
Seriously Hurt. ,
Parnate estimated at about $50,000
was wrought by a fire early last night
which destroyed the plant of the North
west Box company, Montgomery and
Water streets, and spread to the lum
ber j-ard of the Portland Lumber com
pany. The Portland Lumber company
sustained the heaviest loss, .as nearly
an acre of lumber was aflame when
the fire was at its height.
Two firemen were injured, one seri
ously, while combatting the . flames.
Chris Christensen, attached to engine
No. 1, is believed to have sustained
fractured skull when he fell backward
from a blazing trestle, alighting on
his head, 30 feet below. He was rushed
to a hospital by the Ambulance Service
company.
Rail Trestle (ar In.
George Asher, a fireman in truck No.
2, received a badly lacerated wrist from
falling timbers when the trestle caved
In. He was taker first to the police
emergency hospital and later rushed to
St. Vincent's hospital.
The fire started in the plant of the
Northwest Box company, which lies
adjacent to the Portland Lumber com
pany. A watchman of the latter com
pany said he saw a heavy blaze shoot
kyward and in another instant the
entire factory was burning. The fire
is believed to have been started from
a 'cigarette "which was dropped into a
pile of sawdust at the rear of the box
factory.
Shipyard Firm Singed.
The lumber storage yard of the Co
ijmba River Shipbuilding company, lo
cated north of the lumber yaroV suf
fered a slight loss, the fire communi
cating to adjacent piles of lumber and
also causing slight damage to the of
fice building of the ship company lum
ber yard.
The steam plant of the Northwestern
Electric company, which uses waste
from the lumber mill for fuel. - was
threatened, but suffered no damage
The Northwestern Electric company
sustained a loss through the burning of
a number of cable lines.
The first alarm was turned in at
about 7 o'clock, and in less than half
an hour 2S lines of water were fight
ing the roaring and spectacular blaze.
Nine engine companies, three truck
companies, and two fireboats were
used in fighting the fire.
Bis Trestle I nil apses.
The railroad trestle on which the
tracks were carried into the lumber
yard was destroyed, and was a roaring
mfrno when the firemen arrived on
'.he scene. Lines of hose were centered
cn the fire from the trestle, and it
was in this work that the firemen
were engaged when the trestle went
down. Seventeen firemen were on the
trestle when it started crashing to
earth, a mass of flames, but all except
Christensen reached a point of safety
before the final collapse.
Police had trouble in handling the
thousands of persons who gathered at
the fire and who attempted time after
time to break through the fire lines.
When the cable lines and electric wires
fcesan falling into the roaring furnace,
the crowds quickly surged back to
Joints of safety.
Flames Controlled In Hoar.'
Within an hour from the time the
fire fighting apparatus arrived the fire
was under complete control, although
till burning fiercely directly under
neath the fallen trestle.
By a liberal application o water
tha lumber yard of the Multnomah
Fuel company was saved from any
direct damage. Burning cinders
dropped on the roof of a rooming house
on Front street two blocks distant and
started a small blaze which firemen
quickly extinguished.
Lloyd K. Wentworth, secretary
treasurer of the Portland Lumber com
pany, arriv-ed at the scene during the
early part of the fire. He estimated
the total damage to all plants would
reach in the vicinity of 50,0)0.
Damage Hard to Figure.
Fire Chief Grenfell said that the
direct damage to the plant of the
Northwest Box company and the de
stroyed lumber would not exceed $13.
00. This estimate did not include the
damage suffered by othr concerns
idjacent to these two plants.
Flames were kept from spreading
Into the main plant of the Columbia
Kiver Shipbuilding corporation largely
through the work of the shtpyard fire
lepartment. which got into play almost
.s soon as the plant was threatened.
Shipyard workers dropped all other
ork to man the yard apparatus and
light the encroaching flames, which
-hey held in check until the city de
fiartmtnt thifted its attack to their aid.
Lightning; Blamed for Most Out
breaks In Timber Belt: Men
Rushed to Fight Flames.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. .14. (Special.)
Lieutenant Kiel, following his return
here late this afternoon from a flight
as far south as Eugene, reported more
than 25 fires in the timbered districts
along , his route. The largest fire is
said to be raging in Linn county, while
others are reported in Benton, Lincoln,
Polk and Marion bounties.
State Forester Elliott said tonight
that in most instances the fires were
set by lightning Sunday, and a number
of them are now receiving attention at
the hands of the various county su
pervisors. It is not believed by Mr.
Elliott that any of the fires are of a
serious nature, with the possible ex
ception of the one located on Crab
tree river, in Linn county.
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 14. (Special.)
Bald Peter, located in township 13
south, range 2 east, is the scene of
the latest rorest fire to break out
in the Santiam forest today. It is also
feared that Green Peter, a butte ad
joining Bald Peter, may also be afire.
Forest supervisor C. C. Hall has
ordered a fire fighting crew to take
charge of the blaze and is hurrying
supplies to them.
Bald Peter is located in the Ham
mond Lumber company's holdings and
is 36 miles east of Albany. It is re
ported that 60 acres have already been
burned out and there is rear or tne
fire spreading.
ROAD BONDS VOTED GOOD
Marion County Securities to Be Sold
lo Local People.
SALEM, Or., Aug. . 14. (Special.)
Marion county's market road bonds in
the sum of $850,000, voted at the spe
cial election held on June 3, have been
approved by a Boston bond house, ac
cording to a telegram received here to
night. It is the plan of the authorities
to sell the bonds to local people as fast
as the money is needed, probably
through the Marion county banks.
It is not likely that extensive work
no the market roads here will begin be
fore next spring, although provision
may be made to get construction under
way in the more traveled districts this
fall.
THREE ACRES-YIELD $1040
Returns From Garden Valley Pear
Orchard Held Only Fair.
ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 14. (Special.)
A three-acre pear orchard in Gar
den valle, belonging to Dr. H. W.
Watrous. produced 796 boxes of fruit
that graded 93 per cent No. 1. The
orchard is nine years old and has had
excellent care, and this year's crop is
counted a fair example of what any
fruit tract of like variety and size, with
good cultivation, should produce.
The 796 boxes weighed approximately
16 tons, and the pears were bought by
a cannery at J65 per ton. The orchard
yielded the owner $1040, practically
$350 to the acre.
HOOD GASOLINE IS - LOW
Shipment From Portland Erroneous

HOOD RIVER, Or.. Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) Unless fuel is received tonight,
a gasoline shortage will limit Hood
River valley motoring tomorrow. A
carload of gasoline shipped from the
Portland station of the Standard Oil
company Monday to the local dis
tributing plant was erroneously de
livered en route and as a result tanks
of all local garages were emptied to
day. Garage men conserved their
stocks for convenience of transient
tourists, and operators of local motor
delivery and bus service were told to
lay in a supply.

NINTH BALLOT BRINGS RESULT
Both Sides Assert They Are
. Satisfied With Verdict.
COURT DEFINES ANARCHIST
Judge Tucker Holds Paper Has No
More Privilege Than Person
in Making Comment.
MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich.. Aug. 14.
A Jury tonight awarded Henry Ford
cents damages against the Chicago
Tribune for calling him an anarchist.
Orvy Hulett. foreman of the jury,
said that they "took nine ballots that I
can remember."
The first one. according to Leonard
Measel. -another Juror, stood 8 to 4 in
favor of awarding Mr. Ford some
damages.
Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, for Mr.
Ford, said:
Tne important issue in this ase has
been determined favorably to the plain
tiff. He has been vindicated.
"Money damages was entirely subor
dinate and were not sought by Mr.
Ford. He stands not only vindicated,
but his attitude as an American citizen
has been justified after a trial which
raised every issue against him which
ingenuity and research could present.
His friends are entirely satisfied."
Victory, Says Tribune Counsel.
Weymouth Kirkland. f counsel for
the Tribune, said:
"We consider it a victory for the rea
son that Attorney Alfred Lucking, in
closing for Mr. Ford, stated that any
thing less than substantial damages
would be a defeat for his client."
The Jury spent three months hearing
the testimony and arguments.
Judge James. G. Tucker, instructing
the jury, held that a newspaper has no
greater privileges in making comment
than has an individual.
The end of the great suit, which
began three months ago. came when
the lawyers and spectators had about
made up their minds that they were ln
for a night of waiting and watching,
with a mistrial as the probable out
come. Jury Out Ten Honrs.
The jury had been out 10 hours when
a resounding double knock was heard
on the high old-fashioned door of the
jury room.
Some of the lawyers had not yet re
turned from dinner nor had Judge
Tucker put in an appearance. Bailiff
Kellcy went to the door and then hur
ried to Walter Steffens, the court clerk,
and whispered:
"They're ready to report."
Mr. Steffens got Judge Tucker and
the absent lawyers on the telephone
and in 10 minutes all was ready.
Mr. Hulett was plainly laboring un
der suppressed emotion as he rose and
faced the court.
"Have you reached a verdict, gentle
men?" asked Judge Tucker.
"We have." replied the foreman.
"You may deliver it.'
Mr. Hulett first gave a directed ver
dict of no case against the Solomon
News company, which distributed copies
of the Tribune of June 23. 1916. con-,
taining the libel.
Text of Verdict.
The award against the Tribune was
then given and the clerk recorded the
following as the verdict:
. "you do say upon your oath that the
said defendant, the Tribune company,
is guilty in manner and form as the
sa,id plaintiff hath in his declaration in
this case complained, and you assess
the damages of the said plaintiff on oc
casion of the premises over and above
osts and charges by him about his suit
In this behalf expended at the sum of
6 cents damages and you find that the
defendant. Solomon News company. Is -not
guilty as directed by the court."
The jury acknowledged the verdict as
correct and hurried from the courtroom.
None would discuss their deliberations
in detail.
The whole proceedings were over
with astonishing brevity. The whole
scene did not require more than five
minutes.
One juror later stated that for six
hours the ballots stood 8 .to 4 to glv
the plaintiff an award. Then two of
the four joined the majority. The re
maining two held out until nearly 8
o'clock, when they surrendered, and
the knock sounded on the door.
Ford Aot Present.
Mr. Ford was not in court. The
Tribune was represented by Captain
Joseph Med ill Patterson, one of ttve
publishers. ' '
The Jurors were heard from fou
times during the day. twic- for their
meals, once for an additional instruc
tion from Judge Tucker and once whea
they asked for a copy of the alleged
libelous editorial, headed: "Ford Is an
Anarchist," on which the suit is base.
The courtroom was orowded while
the court was charging the jury and a
fair crowd remained hour after hour,
hoping to bcpresent when a verdict
was reached.
The air was electric with suppressed
excitement. .
It was a quiet jury. Henry Kelley,
bailiff for 13 .years, said it was the
quietest cne he had ever handled.
Judge Tucker gave the several defi-
