Who Wa Saved From Death in Yesterday's Fire by Edwin Qulnn. many to think that a pyromanlac may be at work attempting to destroy all of the frame buildings In that part of the city. The police have been unable to traoe any of these fires to an incen diary, although the circumstances at tending all of them have been sus pb ions. Wires Mast Go TTnderg-ronnd. In spite of the large number of small business houses affected by yesterday afternoon's fire the property loss en tailed Is comparatively small and prob ably will not go much over t200,0o0, If it is that high. By far the greater part of this will fall upon the shoulders of the shopkeepers, small manufacturers and stablemen, few of whom were gest Individual loss Is the Barr hotel. The Insurance companies will feel the fire compara tively little. Belief is general among the business men and downtown property owners that the effect of the fire will be' to compel immediately the placing of all power wires and possibly all wires in under ground conduits at least in the business section of the city. Portland Is probably unique amon cities of its siie in not havlne force, Its public utilities companies to place tneir wires unoergrouna. nor witnstana lnst the fact that ordinances exist com pelling such action. Had It not been that the wind died Btrnggle against death quickly extin guished the fire which was burning the clothes of both men. McDonald was re vived and taken to his boarding house at 18 Johnson street north. I lie incident, which nearly cost the lives of two men, and terminated in a heroic rescue, occurred when the fire which devastated four blocks in the north end was at Its height and before it had been gotten under control. Soon after the fire had spread from the Overland stables to adjoining build--lngs and bepan eating its wav south ward toward Olisan street, employes of i Milton urns, assembler! on the roof In down sufficiently last evening to allow the firemen to make a stand at the Union Meat company building and the Oregon Casket company structure boih of slow-burning construction, the entire north end and wholesale district would undoubtedly have been swept by tne con flagration. Hostler Turns In First Alarm. )t. S. Dennis, a hostler in the stable of the Overland Transfer company, first saw the fire, shortly before 5 o'clock. The Overland Transfer comnanv occu pied a big wooden building on die west side of Fifth street, between rJll.san and Hoyf. He paw smoke and flames coming from the second story over the hayloft, and ran to turn in an alarm. I J wo engine companies, two trucks, a hose anrl a chemical answered the first call from box 6i at Fourth and Hoyt Biref is. The engines coupled up to the hy drants and started pumping away at the fire, but the Overland stable was the center of a nest of frame buildings ami the wind carried the flames to ad kilning structures almost Instantly. Second and third alarms were turned In as fasi as battalion chiefs reached the fire and . in.. . aiiii'.'.-i 1 I nnir lie OrOlTeU & tnges In the districts and sat on their goods n the middle of the street, await ing the arrival of express wagons to move them away. These express wagons were At a pre mium. You couldn t get one for love or money an hour after the fire had started. Excited foreign ers of every natloralltv ran wildly up nnd down the streets begging dravs and delivery wagons to carry themselves and their furrihnro to places of safety. Chinamen Begin Moving-. It was reminiscent of the San Fran cisco fire. In a way. The flavor of Pan I rancleeo was Increased hv th r.T-.a. of hundreds of Chinese who had Just moved Into the row of buildings in the .nlw Chinatown along Fourth street These bulldlnes have tnot hiwn n-.m. pleteJ and are not yet entirely filled up. But What Chinamen Mw.le nura Mioi- began moving their trunks out throw ing clothing from the nun geriing rneir wives and children out of harm's way. Most of them mad? for the old Chinatown down on Sec ond street. At one time the heat was so great that the gaily-painted roofa of the bal conies, the paper lanterns and the Joss house signs caught fire. There was a great scurrying of Chinese to put out the flames and thev stood guard until the main fire was out pouring water on the front of the big building Effective wrk was done hv all the property owners In the neighborhood of rne nre in throwing water on their ouuaings. The I nion Meat companv had a force of more than 100 men on the roof of Its building pouring water down the blank wall which formed the western barrier to the spread of the flames. This crew was kept steadily at work with hose and buckets until late In the evening. Kvcry building In the vicinity was protected in the same way. Dosens of Small Fires Btart. SICK ANIMALS SAFELY REMOVED FROM FIRE'S RATH In Pr. S. J. Carney's veterinary hos pital, at 2S9 Gllsan, adjoining the North Pacific Wagon works, were a number of valuable dogs sent there for treat ment, eight horses and a number of imported Angora cats which had Just arrived, Every animal was saved. Though Dr. Carney waa absent from I the city, every animal In the place was I suvea riy rne assistant and Mrs. Car ney, who hurried from her home on North (Seventeenth atreet as soon as she learned the hospital was endan gered, and several volunteer helpers, one horse tried three times to dash back Into the building, but waa finally tied in a place or safety. George W. Bates is the owner of the valuable dogs rescued. Ben Trenkman of u. Trenkman & Co. ran out of the building with the laBt dog. and as tho light frame structure waa then burning. nothing more could be done but take ' the dugs, horses and cats to a safer : place. Ono horse is yet unaccounted j nir, as ii gin loose aner Deing lea some distance away. SOLD BEER WHILE FIRE SURROUNDED PRINKING PLACE Soon after the beginning of the fire burning pieces of wood and brands were carried by the wind over rbe entjre north end and 30 or 40 little fires were started. Every frame building In the district had Its i . .of aflie at some Mine during the afternoon and evening nnli'be fire waa checked and moved across men were stationed un ton of all iWltli the street. Charles Wade, proprietor of a saloon at 128 Sixth street, was undismayed by the flames surrounding; his place and. despite the fact that the fire swept everything in tho block In which he is situated, continued to sell beer to the thirsty volunteers who aided the de partment In quenching the fire. In fact, the flames seemed partial to saloons yesterday, because the saloon In the Parr hotel sufTered but little, while another saloon owned by J. Wel land nt 104 Sixth street, was' damaged Put slightly. uelland became excited,! however, while the fire was In prog- I ress nnd locked his valuables In a small I safe. Then he dumped the safe into I the street, where It was found after rr an effort to save the structure which general alarm sent in. bringing the fire was in the direct path of the flames. ooat una 14 engine companies to assist Driven Back by Flames By the use of the furnace company's own fire apparatus the building for a time was kept free of flames. The men on the roof had deluged the building with water. Then the fire cut quickly to the westward to the frame structures opposite the Barr hotel and soon the hotel itself, smoking from the terrible heat, suddenly burst Into flames at a dozen points. Qulnn. together with Dick Ray, George Black. Frank McDonald and other employes of Tilton Iims, turned their efforts then to the west side of In confining the fire to the district norm or Uiisan street. Before they could get at tho seat of the trouble, however, the flames had spread over the entire hloek between Fifth and Sixth and (Jlisan and Hoyt streets. As the engine and hose com panies from the nutlving stationg came cianging up to the fire they found all the near-by hydrants occupied by en gines that had come before th.ni This meant that they had to turn around and go up one street and ib.wn an.itiier neun:iiinK ior a nycranl to rojpl.. to. .""i iivid" .

None of tbcm proved se rious, but thev were a constant source of worry to the fire department and necessitated the stationing of several engines as an outer guard to prote-t the business section from the f!ii,e brands At F. 30. after the fire "nail burned the greater part of four squares It was got under control, although it burned until late In the evening and was not struck out until after it i.v, k.
