v": V Ton of broken plaster, twisted Iron
and partly burned timbers ars all that
" remain of tha old Government building
. at tha Lewis and Clark . fairgrounds
this, morning. Fire, supposed to' have
started through carelessness or , fclth
. criminal intent by hobos, broke out In
' .the building shortly before 7:30 last
night and completely,, destroyed the
building. ',.''' '
' Froparty Of Bead Estate.
v Tha Government building was the
property of , the Amanda W. Reed e?
tata and was valued, at close to $60,.
000. It was-tompleteiy isolated on xne
peninsula opposite tho fairgrounds and
bad absolutely no fire protection. No
' Insurance was carried, on the building.
- When , the fire was discovered It was
burning In tha center of tha building.
It worked In . both directions far out
the wings, and this morn!ng nothing
' remains but the foundation of two con
, ' crete fountains near tha base ,of tha
two towerai -
.The fire department made every if.
fort to get out to the fire but to no
avail Tha bridge which formerly con
nected the peninsula with tha. main
' building 'caa been torn down most of
the way ocros and all that gives foot
ing Is the flume being built to carry
the dirt from Willamette Height down
into. Guild's lake. The other way of
reaching there, by the Northern Pa
olflo track, was unavailable to the fire
engines, whllo the f ireboatv could not
get close enough to extinguish tho
flames. The building burned from 7:30
till after midnight-
- - "v" Pretty Spectacle.
The fire furnished a ..beautiful spec
tacle to the-residents Of Willamette
HelgUts and the people who, took the
pains 'to go out to tha. edges of Guilds'
lake. Flames shpt high in the air from
the Tiighly Inflammable structure. The
big towers en each end of the building
fell with a crash about 1:30,' shooting
the flames high in the air. '
' The fire, is, supposed to have origi
nated from the carelessness of tramps.
The building and the vicinity are said
to ba a 'loafing place for hundreds' of
tramps; A day watchman, F. Matin,
made one trip to the building yester
day morning. ' He strained his ankle
climbing across the flume and did not
return in the afternoon, aa was his
custom.
According to Jaka Baker, acsldent
of the peninsula, hundreds of visitors
pass his home every fay trying to reach
the buildlns and he saw no one un
usual pass yesterday. lie says that the
flamea were 'burning fiercest directly
in tire middle of the ouildlng when he
first saw them. He had much trouble
savfpg his little home Just east, of the
building and, owing to a favorable wind,
was able to do-, so.
