Portland, Sept. 2. It .required but
half an hour yesterday noon for firo to
'wipe out the Albina dock, warehouse
and entire plant of the Pacific Coast
Elevator company, completely destroy
ten freight cars of tho O. R. & N. Co.
and'damago tho plant of tho Eastern &
Western Lumber company, across tho
river. The loss totals $210,500, ' and
insurance is $180,000.
Originating in the elevator building,
tho fire spread rapidly north and south,
fanned by a strong -gale from the east
Before apparatus could reach tho scene.
the destruction of tho largo dock and
elevator property was practiclaly ac
complished.
Tho Albina dock, tho property of the
O. It. & N. Co., and the elevator build
ings were situated on the East Side
river front, just below the O. B. & N.
car shops. So furious was the wind
that blazing brands were quickly waft
ed across tho river, igniting the' plant
of the Eastern Lumber Co., directly
opposite.
There was great anxiety at the Lewis
and Clark exposition grounds when the
fire was raging half a mile distant. If
the flames had gained a secure foot
hold on the west side of the river and
spread to any great extent, the exposi
tion would have been in the direct
path.
One burning ember lighted on the
roof of the Manufacturers building, but
only a small hole was burned before it
was stamped out.

Practically all of. the larger land
owners in rthiB project have signed up
with the Water Users' association, ana
manv of those not already slgnod have
promised te-do so at once:
Becretary Elmer I. Applegate, of tue
association, states that not one of the
large holders who have been approach
ed have refoeed to sign the trust deed
sorfar. Ho stated further that CO per
cent, had signed and promised to do so,
and ho expoctod by September I to
have tho required 76 per cent which
tho government asks bofore actual ditch
digging is to commence.
It is also promised by tho govern
ment. officials that just as soon aa 75
por cent of tho holdings under the pro
ject aro signed, bids for contract work
will bo advertised for, and aa soon as
these aro accepted work will begin.
Ilowever, it is not expected that a
great deal will be accomplished thiB
winter, owing to tho lateness of tho
season and difficulty in getting Heavy
machinery inhere during the fall and
winter.
Already tho government working
force now in tho field has been reduced
slightly in accordance with Chief En
gineer tfewelrs advice when hero re
cently.
This is said to be boc&uso of tho
probability that no ereat amount of
work would be done this fall.
FEELS HER SHAME.
inre at St. Jonns destroyed two saw
mills, threatened to destroy three other
mills and many residences, and was
only prevented from doing incalculable
damage by the fireboat, George H
Williams, which was sent to the con
flagration at 2 o'clock in tne morning
from Portland. The tiny streams
poured on tne names by tne mm .com
pany's apparatus seemed only to add
fuel to the fire.
The sawmills of the Oregon Fir Lum
ber company and the St. Johns Lum
ber company, the former known as the
Cone and the latter as the Donglas
plant, together with the wood yards of
the Peninsular Wood company, were
totally destroyed by the fire. The loss
aggregates $140,000, with $31,000 in
surance. Some damage was sustained
by the Jobes flour mills, but it was not
material.
WHOLE TOWNS DIE.
-Awful
Ravages of Yellow
Honduras.
Fever in
8an Pedro, Cal., Sept. 2. Spanish
Honduras is devastated by the most
terrible scourge of yellow fever the
country has ever known. The out
break iB the first for nearly ten years
Three towns have been devastated and
almost destroyed by the fever, which
haB been raging there since May.
It originally etarted in Belize, Brit
ish Honduras, where many prominent
residents were victims. Thence it
aprea to Puerto Cortez, Cholomo and
San Pedro. In all these towns the rav
ages have been frightful. In Puerto
Cortez every non-immune citizen has
died, and the only ones left are those
-who cannot take the fever.
The epidemic, having no more vic
tims there, has gone up country over
the railway lines, and is now raging
throughout a large part of interior
Spanish flondursa.
Trade ia stagnated. TIero is no one
to cut bananas, and vast plantations
of fruit are rotting.
All Russia Humiliated by the Cession
of Territory.
St. Petersburg, 8ept. 1. Judging
from the press comment of today on
peace, it would appear that, while
pleased with the prospect of the re
moval of further .bloodshed from tho
Far East, a large portion of the public
is unable to reconcile itielf to the loss
of territory, however insignificant. The
national pride seems to be offended by
the cession of part of the ialand of Sak
halin.
Yesterday tho people spoko of "to
lay's shame," meaning peace. Many
of the utterances show evidences of
regret that the army bad not been
givan another chance to try the fort
unes of war, though no one questions
or underrates the humanity of the
course followed by President Roosevelt,
the plenipotentiaries and Emperor
Nicholas.
The tone of many of the utterances
concerning peace ind ices one to be
lieve that a further sacriflco of human
lives would not bo unacceptable, if the
national self respect could be regained
thereby. One word of disapproval of
the terms from Tokio suggesting that
Japan did not desire to be bound by
the terms might result in a flaro-up
here in defense of war and the national
honor.
Campers Careless.
Sumpter The forest fire which
raged a short whilo ago in tho Blue
montains, near the hot springs, in tho
John Day country, iB reported to have
dono considerable damage. Much fine
timber was destroyed, and for a while
it was feared that some of the ranches
would suffer a heavy loss in buildings
and fences, but these were finally
saved. Campers are said to be respons
ible for the origin of the fire. S. S.
Governor Would Bring to Justice the
Flax Incendiaries.
Salem Aftor reviewing all the clr
cumatances. Governor Chamberlain be
lieves that the three Area which have
destroyed flax and fhx mills in this
city were set by persons who are de
termined to destroy tho flax industry
in Oreaon. He thinks the manner in
which, the promoters of the flax indue
try have been hampered in their work
and the extreme measures that havo
been resorted to indicate that back of
tho crimes that have been committed is
a desire to prevent the establishment
of linen mlllB in this state.
If, aftor investigation, the governor
finds that he has authority to do so
undor the appropriation made by tho
last lcKlalature. he will oner a substau
tial roward for tho arreat and conviction
of tho person who set the fires which
destroyed Eugene Bosso a flax and flax
plant last winter and. tho fire which do
et roved his 1004 and' 1W05 crops
week. Evon if he should find that he
has no express authority, tho governor
may offer a reward conditioned upon an
appropriation by the next legislature
In speaking of the matter Uovernor
Chamberlain expressed hia high appre
elation of tho value of tho experiments
conducted by the Oregon Women's Flax
Fiber association, which proved beyond
doubt that the Willamette valley can
produce flax fiber of aa good quality aa
can be produced in any country. Ho
beliovc8 that if dovelopcd, bb it can bo
and should be. tho manufacture of flax
products will becomo a resource which
will add great wealth to the state and
furnish employment to largo numbers
of people in growing and harvesting
flax and making twine, crash and lin
en.
BecauBO the industry at its beginning
promises so well for the state, tho gov
ernor stands ready to do what he can to
bring to justico those who could injure
or destroy it.

which, for a while, threatened to burn
