IMMENSE
LAND DEAL
The Booth-Kelly Co Gets
the Central Oregon
Grant,
Central Oregon men In the city are
deeply concerned at the continuation of
reports of the Booth-Kelley land grant
deal, confirmed by Major Kinney of the
Great Central, and other sources, espec
ially San Francisco.
This land is the Oregon Central Military
Road land grant, which goes tht-ugh the

crosses Klamath County and that reser
vation, goes east by Lakevlew, and In a
winding direction thence to the eastern
boundary of Oregon, In the Jordan Val

each side of such line, a width of several
miles, and Involves one of the most gi
gantic land grants that the Pacific North
west has ever known.
The deal has been on for some time,
options having been taken from the own
ers, Frisco people, by the Booth-Kelley
Company, who have now. It is Bald on

. The enormity of the devastation of the
tidal wave of flame, which Is sweeping
over the Northwest, Is being slowly
brought to the realization of the public.
So long as the loss was figured on a finan
cial basis, only those directly affected
were Interested, but since the death list
Is growing to large proportions, the sym
pathies of the populace have been aroused
and In many of the stricken districts, re
lief parties are out scouring the country
for victims of the calamity. The bodies
recovered number betweeo twenty-five
and thirty. Hundreds are known to be
missing, and the list of homeless and des
titute will number In the thousands. The
means of earning a livelihood has been
taken from a vast army through the de
struction of the many saw mills and log
ging camps upon which they were de
pendent. The results In a commercial
way will be far-reaching, and stagnation
will effect every line of Industry In the
two states which are In any way attend
ant upon the lumber Interests. The loss
In money will In various ways amount to
millions of dollars. i
FIRES ARE FIERCELY RAGING
in many localities which were considered
safe. In the vicinity of Portland the
danger Is over unless a strong wind
should arise. The flames have run their
course, leaving but little oembuetible ma
terial In tne.r wake. The people of the
outlying towns have taken every precau
tion for the protection of life and prop
erty, and from the lookout nothing seri
ous is anticipated. The settlers In tho
dense forests about the foot of Mount St.
Helens are having a hard fight. Every
avenue of escape Is cut iff for some of
them, and It Is expected that many will
perish in the seething furnace. The heat
there is Intense. The air Is filled with
falling brands and the volume of smoke
Is dense to suffocation. Up the Sandy
Vajley much loss Is being done to the
farmers and tie camps. Along the South
ern Pacific Railroad from Albany to Red
ding, Cal., a distance, of 400 miles, the
country Is a mass of flames. Thousands
of cords of wood belonging to the com
pany have, been destroyed.

MAYOR WILLIAMS
Was asked this morning if it was In his
power, or that of the Council, io do any
thing in relief of the fire sufferers.
"No, I am sorry to say," he replied.
"If I had any power to act, yon would
ha,ve heard from mo before now. The
Council cannot appropriate a cent for
such purposes, and it remains for the
citizens of 'Portland to dip ijffwn Into
their pockets and grant relief."
"If It had not been for the churches
taking- the matter up, I should have ap
ponlted a committee to canvass the city
for money and provisions, but I will now
leave the matter hi their hands. I think,
however, that they have made a- mis
lake in not appointing a soliciting Com
mittee Instead of asking citizens to come
to a designated place and leave their con
tribution. "They are overlooking many a substan
tial contribution. "People don't want to
be bothered running around to contri
bute, but If they were seen by a com
mittee they would cheerfully give their
share. I hope to see the church people
act on this suggestion."

40 miles the whole couritry presents an
aspect of utter desolation. All Thursday,
Friday and Saturday the fires raged
fiercely, driven by a terrific wind that
moved In a circular motion-similar to a
cyclone, destroying everything In Its
path. Many families saved their lives by
plunging Into near-by streams. Great dif

Fred Burllhgame. who lives on Yacolt

H. K. Cross whose fine plnce was burn

He estimates that the area around
Springwaler burned over is eafily 15

width and says that not a farmer escaped

tree trunks had commenced falling, this
a iding new terror as they could be heard

morning marks the beginning of the end
of the forest fires.
THE DETAILS. .
ASTORIA. Sept. 15- Reports received
In this city from neighboring points inui
cate that ail danger frpm forest fires has
paased, and' that there will be no more
damage to property unless the wind
should suddenly switch around to the
east or southeast and fan the dying em
bers Into flame. Yesterday the sun shone
brightly and the sky was clear, for the
lirst time in three duys. A westerly
wind prevailed. ,aed ..the , smoke banks
were blown away.
The heavy veil of smoke had complete
ly blocked shipping, but fortunately there
were few vessels ready for sea. The big
liner Indrapura had been at tho mouth
of the river, awaiting an opportunity to
put to sea as soon as the smoke lifted,
and the lumber laden schooner transit
was awaiting a similar change to get
under way. Both vessels crossed out
yesterday. '
While it Is Impossible to give any ex
act figures, It Is believed between 7000
and
10.000 ACRES OF TIMBER.
Land have been burned over in the Low
er Columbia district. Twenty or thirty
buildings have been destroyed, and one
mill and loging camp wiped out. The
total loss will perhaps reach from $160,
to liiSO.miO. The heaviest loss to property
was at Skamockaway, where the Wil
lamette Pulp and Paper Company lost
Its mill and logging camp. At Long
Beach fires raged for a time and
threatened to wipe out everything from
that town to Ilwaco. However, when the
wind shifted the danger was averted,
and late reports say little damage has
been done there.
As' near as can be learned all the fires
in this section are under control. From
Clatskanle to the coast small fires
burned for three days, but did not get
a good start before the wind changed.
It Is said a school house has been des
troyed near Svenson, entailing a loss f
J1500. but no other buildings were burn
ed there. The fires south of the city
have died out.

that has been committed in that county
for years and if the culprit should bo
