Tirgii Fuwence, 7-year-old son of Ernest
Purvance, wa burned to death t Bonita
postoffiee last night Bonita post office
i better known as : warehouse, and
the building that burned was an old log
house, which ha for years been used
as a stopping place and roadhouse for
travelers going to the Bohemia mine.
The postoffiee building, which was a
more recent addition to the old building
was also burned, but by hard work the
stable, warehouses and scale were
saved. The electrical generating plant
of the Oregon Securities Company, of
which Mr. Purvance has charge, are sit
uated at this point.
As nearly as can be learned, every-one
had gone to the power-house to watch
the men putting on the big belt that
transmit power from the water wheel
to a big dynamo.
About 10 o'clock their grandmother
took two little boys over to the house,
and put Virgil, the older to bed upstairs
in the log building, and the younger to
bed in the postoflice building. When
the fire was discovered it was already
too late to save Virgil but his brother
wis taken safely from the adjoining
building.
About one year ago Virgil was visit
ing with his aunt, when bis little cousin
was burned to death in a brush fire.

SAX FRANCISCO, July 21
(SpeeiaU4cpta!n v Jame Bir
mingham, supervising inspector,
has revoked the decision of the
local inspectors at Portland. Ore,
who suspended for one year the
mariner's license of Captain
Samuel BoninVld of the steamer
B. J. Stetson in collision with the
barkentine Jane L. Stanford off
the Columbia River, June 12th.
Captain Bermingham says Cap
tain Bonifield was not on deck at
the time of the collision, and
therefore could not be suspended
for lack of skill or negligence in
handling bis vessel. Ilowever, he
blames Boiufleld for not slowing
up after the collision and ascer
taining how badly the Jane L.
Stanford was damaged.
At the end of her up trip Friday night
the big 0. R. 4 X. steamer. T. J. Potter,
met with an accident that will compel
her to stay in the boneyard for the
balance of the season. She blew out her
port cylinder head at the Ash-street
dock while making her landing there.
There were many reservation on her
passenger list for the bjg Saturday ex
cursion to the northshore beaches; and
the money paid therefore was turned to
rail transportation via the "A. 4 C." as
(aivas Astoria, from whence her pas
sengers were transferred to Hwaco by
the steamers Xahcotta and Melville. Xo
definite arrangements have been made
yet for a substitute steamer; and the
beach travel will present a hard puzzle
for the 0. R. 4'X. people to solve. It
is said she was duly inspected the day
before the accident occurred, but this
cannot be verified.
