A mixed crew of truck, engine and chemical com-. panlea wero Playing a stream on building near tho southeast corner of Union avenue - and East Stark atreet when they discovered flames under the elevated roadway on which they were aianaing. . George Stokes, captain of truck No. 1 Who waa In charge oftae men, ordered tho planks cut at once and water turned on the fire underneath. V A second Una of hose, was stretched and laid In the direction or the names. I feet below. Stokes called for 1 men to stand on the hose and bold It taut, and then. aa easily as he would -elide the pole In an engine house, he went down the hose to the ground below. Four of his crew followed and he told the othera to i re main on top. Water waa turned on and tha flamea were aneedlly extinguished. At Union avenue and East Oak street the same trouble waa encountered. The temporary captain of a company bad two holes cut In the roadwav. Ha went down over the hose first and told tha men now to direct the streams. The smoke blinded the eyes of the firemen below and the captain told them to pour water in the direction of his voice.. - He got a full stream from the n oasis of big No. 1 straight in his face each time. riremen Zn Sanger rroaa Wires. At the corners of East Oak and East Stark streets tho firemen were In dan ger of their Uvea from tho falling of electrlo wires. ' The "wires on Grand avenue wero the first to fall, and on Union avenue the firemen had to turn the streams from "(he fire to the tele phono - and electrlo light 'brackets end Insulators. When , the Are waa at Its height men from the telephone. and eleo trlo light' companies crossed the river and eut the wires. ; ,; ". .. t. . The Oak street sewer, built a few Hyears ago, was destroyed, aa was also the main of the Portland Gas company from between East 8tark and East, Oak streets. The . water main under ' the Union avenue roadway was tn danger for a tlme-snd Inspectors were on hand to tarn off the water If it should burst On the arrival of the engines they were unable to make connections with the only 14-lnrh main In the vicinity. It was the first real opportunity for the f Ireboat George H. Williams to demonstrate Its possibilities and but for Ita assistance to the - firemen the loss undoubtedly . would have been - much heavier. ' Because of Inability to connect with a fire hydrant a Una of hose was dropped -by the firemen into a alough below the burning' buildings and water was pumped from It ,: , 'Vi , " " t -' Tiree aeneesn the Boadway. - From ' the Iowa lodging-house . th flames worked rapidly toward the north east. Panned by the draft beneath the elevated structures they broke out In various . sections simultaneously.

A' group of firemen" stationed wlTB several lines of hose were operating the linaa from an elevated roadway when It was discovered that the fire waa raging directly beneath. , , t , . . They were warned of the danger and sprang from the board walk Just" aa It fell with a crash Into the alough below. The block between 8tark and Oak streets' wss destroyed quickly.

Three women were Injured while being -rescued, though It is. believed that their Injuries are ' not serious.

He -waa taken to the engine-house In the police ambulance aad attended by a physician,- afterward being taken to pis homo at 111 First atreet ..'"-'. -; Owing to the elevated roadways where the Are raged and the jumble of shack which were largely occupied by second band stores, the. blase spread with great rapidity. A portion of tha roadway had been condemned, preventing the flro de partment from reaching all parts of the endangered custrict. . After the piling caught Are,- hose lines were put below the decking, -sad there the firemen waded and wallowed through the alough In a desperate effort to protect th structure ao that . (hey would not col lapse. As the wires of the streetcar and power oompaniea began breaking before the current could be-turned off, there were several thrilling escapes "from death Iq, thla form. Firemen working on .the elevated roadwaya were fre quently endangered, and the fact that no one lost his life waa apparently more luck than caution. CITY SUFFERS LOSS.
