Still In Harness-
Word comes down from, Portland
that the one and only, the incompar
able, Mike Roche, the genial passen
ger traffic man who used to drop into
poetry when he was describing the
glories of the "D. & R. G.' has been
appointed Portland city agent for the
San Francisco & Portland Steamship
Company. One who knows him would
buy a ticket to the Bay City just for
the sake of getting it from Mike,
whether he wanted to go there or not.

Sometime today the labors of

cleverly and constantly worked up

incorporation, There was practical

tion to the $15,000 desired to warrant
the larger step. The title of the con
cern will probably be the "Astoria

COAST RESORT VISITED WITH
FIERCE FIRE IN ITS BIG
MILLS - ASTORIA READY
WITH HELP LOSS $25,000,
WHOLLY INSURED,
Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock
a fire broke out in one of the dry
kilns of the Seaside Lumber & Manu
facturing Co., at Seaside, and for a
while there was ,grcat danger of an
nihilation of the fine plant, but the
damage was confined to two dry kilns
and the sacrifice of about $25,000
of lumber, wholly insured.
! President Ilenninnrer, of the big
concern (and also mayor of the city),
was on the mill grounds when the
fire broke out and lent his best en
ergies to its subjugation. The plant
owns its fire apparatus, and has the
whole Pacific Ocean to draw upon,
with plenty ot pumpinir pressure and
hydrants and nearly 100 men busy at
the mills. The fire had a very ugly i
look about it for a while, and Mr.
HenninKcr irot into communication
with Fire Chief Foster, of this city,
who, with the instant consent of May
or Wise, had two of Astoria's finest
pieces of fire-fighting machinery al
ready to ship out on the run, with an
engine and flat car in readiness
promptly placed at the disposal of
the Mayor and Chief for the emer
gency by General Agent G. B. John
son of the A. & C. Railway here; but
before a start was made, the happier
word came that the fire was under
controd, and help was not needed.
Mavor Hennincer, speaking later in
the day to C. J. Curtis, of this city,
desired him to convey to the Mayor
and Chief here, the grateful thanks of
the citizens of Seaside and of the
company at interest, for the quick
and generous response, with which
their trouble was met up here.
The lumbering company was for
tunate in having plenty of hose and
hydrants on the grounds, and heavy
water supply behind them' along with
host of devoted men who fought
hard and fast and intelligently at a
very critical moment and saved the
great plant, which js counted among
the best af the lower end of the Co
lumbia. .
At one time during the blaze, the
boiler room of , the plant was badly
scorched and the kilns on the other
side were saved with extreme dif
ficulty; but men and water superven
ed and all further danger and loss
was averted.
