Fire wa dlacovertd In the coal bun ker of the Pacific Coast Company at the upper end of the O. R. St N. wharf at 1213 o'clock thla morning and In Aftven mlnut-M the entire building waa In flame and It waa only by the (tren uou effort of the firemen that the a barf wa avd. The lorn will aggre gate In the nelghb?rhxd of H0.OW. A few mlnuttr after 12 o'clock Officer Scitem, wh ha the Uppertown beat, noticed smoke laaulng from the upper end of the building and thought at first that It came from the river steamer It. u. Thompaon, whlcn was moored along on the river aide of the bunker. Clo?r Investigation, however, showed that the smoke wa coming from the outheaat ?orner of the build Ing and that spark were beginning to come out with the emoke. Settem then wl.letled to Officer Thompson, whom he had Jut left at the Junction cf the two beati near the entrance to the O, It. & N wharf, a that would be the quickest may of lending In the alarm Olllcer Thompaon responded promptly and Immediately turned in the alarm. In a few momenta compan-a No. 1 and No. 2 were on the scene and aftr a brief delay had two streams playing merrily on the fire. The flames, how ever, had gotten under tremendous headway and hopes of aavlng the bunk er were not even entertained for a moment, the firemen turning their en tire attention to aavlng the wharf by keeping the flames nearest It partially under control. They were assisted by the wharf fire hose and also two stream from the tug Wallula, which wn fortunately laying in her usual berth alongalie the dock. -and thus flue slrenm were kept playing on the end of the bunker next to the wharf. The Iremen were working over what was practically a sleeping volcano. Situated midway between the two buildings underneath the planking la the large gasoline tank used to aupply the engine at the bunkers, and, al though it contained but about 30 gal lons, might have caused a terrific ex plosion had It become Ignited. The fire burn?d with a most Intense heat. So strong In fact that it could hardly be borne at the roadway aome two or three hundred feet away and a bucket brigade of Japs were kept busy putting out the innumerable biases that keit starting tip on the railroad trestle opposite the bunkers. An engine was called Into requlsl tlon and soon had the cars that were atandlng on near-by switches, out of harm's way. Fortunately there was no wind and the sparks and pieces of burning wood shot straight up Into tb' air, Instead of drifting on buildings nearby. A few burning brands dropped on the rdof of (he O. R. 4 N. wharf but the metal roofing effectually pre Vented any damage. The river steamer R. R. Thompson which had tied up alongside the bunk ero for the night was gotten under way as socn as possible and warped out Into the stream. The tug Wallula crowded on what steam she could on shnrt notice and helped with two fair streama on the blaie. The North Star which was laying In side the wharf against the bunkers had to be pulled down out of the way by hand, and the Escort No. i was served the same way. The Sue H. Elmore lay farther down the dock and was steamed up ready to leave out If necessary. The several craft that lay In behind the dock would have been In a pretty un- comfortahle position had the wharf gotton on fire. It was a magnlflcient spectacle as the great billows of name rolled straight upward to an Immense dis tance lighting up the whole city and reaching far out over the water, reflect- ng on numerous fishing boats and throwing great grotesque shadows and ever and anon as the fire progressed one of the hutre bins of coal would burn through letting the contents drop with a sullt-n plunge Into the water, sending up a cloud of blaok nmoke. steam and parks, and making the whole scene one of weird grandeur. The fire companies under the direc tion of Chief Stockton did some very creditable work with the circumstances very much against them. Chief of Po lice Hallock turned ilreman for the time and handled the wharf hose like an old tlrnn-. The bunkers contained some six or seven hundred tons of coal and togeth er with the building, the loss will prob ably be between $30,000 and $40,000. The cause of the fire is not definite ly known but It Is generally thought that there was some fire remaining from the Are of last week or else the water turned on the coal at that time produced fire damp or sort of a spon taneous combustion. The loss will probably be covered by Insurance, out a that 19 attended .0 at the company's i offloes In Seattle, nothing definite could be learned. 1 CIRCUIT COURT. O'Connor Fined $.V) for Asiault Court Orders That Bro-n Children Tit Sent to Mt. AngH College OthT Proceeding, Circuit court convened In regular ses sion yesterday morning at J:39 o'clock, Judge McTirld presiding. In the caae of A. Leberman va, C. J. Curtl. the plaintiff wa given a Judg ment by default. A Chinaman with a string of ftllaaei a yard long wa arraigned before the court on the charge of murdr. He I charged with having killed another Chinaman with a Hat of name nearly a long aa hi own, at Booth' cannery on August 1st. The court christened Wong Loom lo av confusion and victim I known by the appellation of Wong Ark Toy. The defendant wa given till Monday to plead to the charge. John D. O'Connor who wa arraign ed before the court on Thursday on the charge of assault with a danger ou weapon and given till yeaterday afternoon to plead, appeared and waa allowed to plead guilty to the charge of almple assault and wa fined 1Z0. He paid the fine. Herbert Davie and John 8ulllvan, the men arrested for burglarizing the Bee Hive In thl city, pleaded not guilty to the charge and their trial wa fixed for next week. They will be given sep arate trial, that of Davl taking place on Tuesday, and Sullivan' on Wednes day. Some four yeara ago. In fact, on the 21st day of April. ISM, Concordia Brown wa granted a dlvxrce from John W. Brown and each were awarded the cuatody of two of the four children. In March of this year Mr. Brown re ported to the court that the children under his charge were being taken care of by his mother, who was near ly W years of age, and not capable of giving the children proper care. One of the boys being 111 with typhoid fe ver at that time and not receiving nec essary care. In the meantime Mrs. Brown had remarried and Is now known as Mrs. Bolander. The court then ordered that he be given the custody of the other two children oro- viaeo. nowever. mat sne comolv with Mr. Brown's request that the children be sent to a Catholic Sunday school and a Catholic day school. It appears mat the tvtA not complied with that portion of the order and the case was brought before the court yesterday af' ternoon when It was ordered that the two boy that have been In her charge since March be sent to Mount Angel College at Mr. Brown's expense. There waa a stormy and tearful acene In the court room when the little fellowa real Ixee' the Import of the order aeoarat Ing them from their mother, but they finally succeeded In manfully keeping dock tne tears as tney went away. Court was then adjourned till 9:30 otlock this morning. ON EXHIBITION FREE. The great fire of last night, painted by Prof. Wm. Lemos. who will close out all bla paintings nt your price.
