VANCOUVER, Waen.. July 24. The Ire that partially destroyed the barn of the Eighth battery yesterday was f ol lowed by another smaller blase early tins morning-, the quarters of the Eighth Battery being- the scene this time. The fie la said to have started in a bunk and caused little damage, the battery members extinguishing It before the fire company could respond. i Details of this latest (Ire are hard to Obtain and a sudden silence seems to - nave settled over the officers and men of the battery. Subordinate officers re ferred unanimously to Lieutenant Mitchell, commanding officer of the bat tery, and Lieutenant Mitchell paused only long .enough to remark that there was no damage, before he disappeared In the Inner office. . 1 The fact that two flres, both occurring on Eighth Battery ground and both eomlng at times when usually no one was near, excited some comment among the men of the garrison, but several who were In close touch with doings of the battery gave a reason, not only for the flres, but for the reticence of the Officers. These say that the Are this morning was of Incendiary origin and that a quiet Search is being carried on to discover the culprit, who is also Charged with the blaze of yesterday. - Members of the battery, who usually ire willing to report local happenings, are determinedly silent and If a private ukase has been issued no greater Secrecy could be obsrved; behind the jpuarters. where privates unbosom them selves to their fellows, the atmosphere was clearer and the origin of the fire today was clearly stated to be incendiary. LOGGER SEVERS AN ARTERY AND LIVES Rides Six Miles With Blood - Flow Unchecked, Remains Conscious and Cool, VANCOrVER, Wash.. July 24. Pierce Trent, a longer working In -a camp on Salmon Cr:ek, six miles north of this place, had a narrow esonpe this morning and would have Mod to death had he not been possessed of an unusual Vitality that enabled him to stand a severe Bhork. 'While Trent was enlping piles he gashed his leg with an axe and severed the main artery. His companions made every effort to top the flow of blood by binding whip lashes and handkerchiefs above and below the cut, but their ef forts failed to even check the stream. Trent was placed in a waon and driven here and for the six long miles the blood dripped from the wagon and formed a pool on the bottom of the bed. Dr. Black attended Trent after his ar- rival and though he was weak from his loes of blood, Trent was not un conscious and stoically bore the cleans ing and stichlng of the wound. Trent Is half Indian by birth and to this strain the doctor attributes his surviv ing the long racking ride and great loss of blood. No especially serious results art expected from the. accident. .'

The road has also n the past few days received ana is now nloadlng and distributing a snipmem "i 2ftd tons of steel rails irom uernmuj. The construction gang at the front is workine slowly but Burely, under aim- cultles, and the road will be finished this season as far as Warehouse, a distance if about 10 miles rrom tne oase ui he mountains leading up to the famous Bohemia mines, and about 29 miles from his cltv. The great activity in tne mines this season is being felt in this ity, as this Is the base of supplies lor the entire region. - Every line of busi ness here gets some benefit from this source and a great many of our people re interested In the development or tne liferent properties in thak camp. Lee Henry, secretary or tne WKoy Mining Company, one or tne pioneer ompanles of the Bohemia district, is ust back from a ten days trip to the rouertles of that company and reports not only his own company as pushing work rapidly, but that on every property as many men as can d useu iu au- vantage are at work doing development work and making other Improvements necessary to make the properties wealth producers. Mr. Henry made as many as 40 camera views while in the camp. The Oregon Securities Company alone is spending $5,000 on the construction of a wagon road from the Champion Ilasin to its mines, which are now and have been for years heavy producers. This company Is also at the present time putting in an electric light plant, in creasing its mill capacity by many stamps and otherwise spending a mint of money to Improve properties. President Lloyd of the Crystal Con solidated Mining Company Is now In San Francisco for the purpose of buying a 10-stamp mill and sawmill machinery to produce the necessary lumber for the mill building and mine timbers. This company is composed almost entirely j of local capital. Immense Crowd on Hand at Gladstone Park to Hear Champ Clark, (Journal Special Service.) OREOON CITY, July 24 There was a big crowd at the Chautauqua yester day, but the prospects are for a bigger one today, despite thredtenlag waather. Almost everyone from this city and hundreds from the surrounding country are on iiand to hear Champ Clark, the Missouri Congressman, deliver his lec ture this afternoon, while an unusual number from Portland are in evidence. The subject of the Congressman's lec ture la advertised as "Rich as (Jol conda." In the official program, but the subject has been changed and he will now speak on "Picturesque Public Men. An address was delivered this morn ing on "Church Flnancea," by Hon. W. W, Cotton of Portland. This evening Ht a o cjock Kan uermaine, tne wizara, will be the attraction. His entertain ment last evening waa attended by very large crowd, which waa duly ap preciatlve. The baseball game yesterday after noon between Oregon City and the Van couver Maroons resulted In a score of 11 to ( in favor of the Maroons. The Oregon City team had the game well In hand up to the seventh Inning, when it began making wild throws and Inexcusa ble errors. Oregon City made more errors than hits, getting a total of 7. The Vancouver team made 8 errors and 1 hita. The game was witnessed by a large number of people, but it was really one of the poorest exhibitions of ball playing that has been seen at the Chautauqua during the meeting. One of the leading attractions for to morrow is a lecture by Kev. Mr. Brougher of Tennessee, on the subject of "How to Be Happy Though Married, It is confidently predicted that to morrow's session will be a red letter day with the Chautauqua. If the attrac tion of Champ Clark and the added at traction of fireworks at night fall to bring out an immense crowd the man agers will be very much disappointed. The Chemawa Indian School Is also ad vertised to render a program at 11 o'clock in the morning. Governor Cham berlain will attend tho meeting tomor row night and will deliver an Intro ductory address. CRICKET TOURNAMENT CHICAGO, July 24.

BAKER CITY HAS PLENTY OF WOOL But the Clip There Is Dirty and Does - Not Demand Good Prices. (Journal Special Service.) v BAKER CITY. July 24. Wool In Ore gon has all been sold except that now contained in Baker City warehouses. Mil lions of tons have been shipped out of the wool belt and taken to tha East and in other sections of the state there are small quantities of wool In storage, but even these have been sold and Baker City is alone the magnet attracting woolbuyers. But while it haa the only wool, Baker City also haa the oirtiest wool. The Baker City wool runs 71 per cent in dirt and grease, which leaves only 28 pounds of wool out of every 100 pounds purchased. The price of scoured wool now in Boston Is about 45 cents' and to pay more than 11 cents a pound for 72 per cent wool in the grease would not be justifiable according to the Ideas of the purchasers. When asked why Baker City wools were so much dirtier this year than last it waa stated that the only reason ap parent was that so many clips were made in the same camp by electrical machln ery- This necessitated tne driving or mhny large flocks over the same trail. Increasing the dust and dirt to a very appreciable degree. It was added that this might be found in the future detriment to shearing by electrical machinery unless the camps were fre quently moved from place to place. There la 1.000.000 pounds of wool In Baker City untouched and from present prospects it will remain here, as buyers and sellers do not seem to agree. RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE PORTAGE ROAD (9 Engineer Hammond 4 in The Dalles for Purpose of Con summating Project (Journal Special Service.) THE DALLES, July 24. Engineer Hammond arrived here yesterday for the purpose of securing the right of way for the proposed Portage Railroad. He expects no trouble with the owners of the propertly along the road, except where the portage will run over the O. R. & N. Co.'s right of way, as this company is against the project. The action of the O. R. & N In re fusing to furnish Mr. Hammond with the boundaries of their right of way caused no surprise here, and further trouble from the railroad Interests is expected. The railroads have always worked against all projects which were of Inter est to the entire eastern part of the state, except when It was to their Inter est. Little Is thought of the railroad try ing to use all in Its power to delay the portage by forcing It off Its right of way, where it will be necessary to run over, by compelling the state to bring condemnation suits and receiving a large verdict by claiming it will interfere with the running of trains and betterments. All such cases will be tried in the Cir cuit Court here, and the feeling for the railroad in. Wasco County is not of .the best.-' The court being up to date on work, no delay will result from this source. The chances are the railroad would receive nothing for its trouble at he hands of a Wasco County Jury. MORTON BODY RECOVERED (Journal Special Service.) ONTARIO, Or., July. 24.

There la much mystery surrounding the shooting of William Black, an Ilwaeo saioonman, wounded In the stomach Thursday night W. W. B. Hewen, prosecuting attorney for Paolfio County, Wash., has been in this city consulting the Injured man In the effort to obtain some clue to the perpetrators of the crime. Black waa brought here for treatment It waa almost midnight when the shooting occurred. Black being at tracted to a r$ar door by a noise. Two shots were fired through the door, one taking effect in hla stomach. "Doc" Wlnneld waa arrested on a charge of assault with Intent to kill. but his friends protested that he was not !n Ilwaeo at the time of the shoot ing and he was released- from custody. Mr. Hewen consulted with Black about the matter. The wounded man Insists that he reoognited Winfield as one of his assailants, and that he also recog nised the other man, who, he alleges. was Dick O'Brien. Black had some trouble with Winfleld once, but not with O'Brien. Prosecuting Attorney Hewen left As toria after the consultation and stated that he would cause tha re-arrest of Winfleld. An effort will also be made to arrest O'Brien. Black Is not nearly so badly hurt as waa .at first thought and he will doubtless be able to return to Ilwaeo tomorrow. On his arrival there he will assist the state In Its prosecution of the two suspects. Vrloa of Fish Out. ASTORIA, Or., July 24. Testerday afternoon the Sanborn-Cutting Packing Company reduced the price of flsh to 6 cents flat This price Is now paid by the company for all sixes of fish. A few days ago J. G. Megler of Brookfleld reduced the price from 8 to 6 cents, but the price was immediately restored, as the cut was due to a misapprehension. None of the other packers on the river have followed the example set by Mr. Sanborn, and 6 cents Is still paid by them for flsh weighing, ovep' 26 pounds. Sanborn has no cold storage plant, while most of the other canners have. The large fish all go Into cold storage. It is this which has doubtless prompted Sanborn to make the cut. AH other packers stated-that- they- had: no Immediate Intention of reducing tha price of flsh. The demand for pickled fish is so brisk that they can well afford to pay 6 cents for the large salmon. and until such time as the July run enters the river the present prices will unquestionably be maintained. Echo to the same place. There will bo 700 head of the second shipment and they will all be taken to the Alberta dls trict to sell to the new oomera there who are In need of horses to help them In the Improvement of their holdings. The government is also looking for horses for the cavalry service, but it Is hard to please Its agents. The general run of the range stock is too small for the use of tha government service, so very few of the horses offered for In spection are taken. It Is only from the bands that have been specially bred by tha owner with a view to improving his stock that the government men can pick their mounts. TmatlUa Wheat From the reports that are coming from the harvest fields of the county. the wheat is yielding . from 12 to 86 bushels to the acre with a general aver age of about 20 bushels, taking the re ports aa they come from all the different aectlons of the county. This will give Aha farmers mora than a two thirds crop, and as tha market is opening at 87 and 63 cents for tha grain, the growers are feeling a little better than they were a few weeks ago when they thought the crop was a failure. If the yield la over tha two thirds mark and the price is 62 cents or better, the wheat men of the county will be better off in the end than they would with the full crop and the price at 60 cents.
