14 THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAIT, PORTIAXU. JANUARY 21, 1917. 3 DIE NEW FIRE AT HOSS HOTEL Kelso Rancher and Logging Men Are Victims of Disas ter on Third Street. WOMAN RESCUES LODGER Proprietress and Domestic Saved by Firemen With Ladders Sev eral Others Barely Escape , Death In Their Rooms. Three charred bodies are at the pub lic morgue, the contribution of a fire which blazed fiercely through the new Ross Hotel at 189 Third street short ly before 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The dead are: Taylor Washburn, 62 years old, rancher, Kelso, Wash.; Ernest F. Marquardt, or Marquette, logging- engineer; Thomas Logan, logger, Holbrook, Or. Close to the window of his room, on the third floor, lay the body of Logan. The fire had scarcely touched him, his clothing being but slightly scorched. It is presumed that he died from suf focation. Trapped in an angle of the hall on the second floor, Washburn and Marquardt had died. Their bodies were terribly charred. Flamea Stop Patrolman. Patrolman I. J. Helms discovered the fire at 5:46 o'clock and telephoned the alarm to the fire department. He ran to the hotel and started up the stairs, which open on the street. The flames forced him back. Above him, on the narrow coping be neath the second-story windows, crept two women in their night garments. They were Mrs. Ida Morris, proprietress, and Helen Flint, a domestic. They cried out that they were going to Jump. Patrolman Helms persuaded them to cling to the ledge until the firemen arrived with ladders. In a moment the ladders were up and they were carried to safety. Death reached near to Frank T al bert, a motorman, and his roommate, Charles Ehlers, a laborer. Tney slept on the second floor, in a rear room. When they awoke the door was bulg ing from the heat from the hallway. As they sprang for the window the door fell in, and the flames shot across the room, Talbert and Ehlers smashed the glass with their bare hands, scaled a dividing wall and sprang to the roof of an adjoining building. Only when they were donning clothes that had been given them was it noticed that Talbert's wrist had been cut by glass. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hos pital, where his wound was dressed. Girl Rescues Man. "Boo" Ekavls. the last of the eight lodgers, was awakened by Miss Flint, -wto pounded on his door. Davis ran through her room to a window, and got out on the ledge, whence he was rescued by the firemen. It is the belief of Mrs. Morris that Ernest Marquardt gave up his life in an effort to rescue or warn her. His room was at the rear of the third floor, and he died at the foot of the stairs on the second floor. Mrs. Morris thinks that he was overcome as he batttered at the door of her sitting-room. Taylor Washburn, of Kelso, was un known at the hotel. His wife, with whom he came to this city, went to the morgue and identified the charred body by means of jewelry and tatters of clothing. She said that they had been staying at the Bushmark Hotel, and that they intended to return to Kelso yesterday. Mr. Washburn was born near Ostran der, in Cowlitz County, 62 years ago. He is survived by his widow and sis ters and brothers. Vlcrtlma Niece Notified. The identification of Logan, also a Ptranger at the hotel, was effected by letters found In his pockets. These were addressed to Thomas Logan at Holbrook. Or., and were written by his niece. Nellie Logan, of Boston. Mass. Deputy Coroner Smith at once tele graphed to her address. The loss on the building, according to Fire Marshal Stevens, will be about $1000. Mrs. Morris appraised the lops on furnishings at $1000, fully covered by Insurance. The building is owned by Ackerman & Lewis. Beneath the lodging-house are the La Belle Cafe, the Forrjuar Barber fchop. the Ryder Printing Company and the store of J. Parentl, fruits ana con fectionery.

Silver Variety Grown In Oregon Con sidered About Beat Adapted for Use In Airplanes. According to Information received yesterday bv O. R. Becker, district freight agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the British government has not placed an embargo on Northwest spruce, which has been used extensively the past year In the manufacture of airplanes. Denial of the reports of the embargo on Sitka or Northwest spruce was cabled to the offices of the rail way at Vancouver. B. C, from London. All of the spruce lumber sold to the British government by Oregon and Washington manufacturers has been of the silver variety. This variety Is con sidered one of the best for the making of airplanes, and, as a consequence. when the lumbermen heard of the re ported embargo, great surprise was ex. pressed. Ida etocK mat tne iortn west has been furnishing was carefully selected and only the best and clearest timbers were exported. It has been learned that the embargo covers Rocky Mountain spruce, which Is eaid to be Inferior to that produced in Oregon and Washington. First Row Shirley Barron, Guard; Edwin Boeb.1.
