That the total loi in Saturday

jinore than $100,000 wu the estimate
!this' morning of Fire Marshal Gren
fell He considers estimates of own
ers too nigh. Reckon ins; the salvage
and goods not damaged at all. be be
lleves this figure not far wrong.
GrenfeU announced that prosecution
probably Is facing the owner of the
paunch; Independence, whose gasoline
. 'tank exploded and caused the fire which
destroyed - buildings and docks, Oren-
cfell alleges that a tank of gasoline was
standing on the dock, in violation of the
,lre ordinance : Decision on prosecution
wilf be reached after conferences 'with
the launch owner this morning. - .. -
ORD1SABT REVISION P1AN ; V-
Steps are to be taken to revise the
?f Ire ordinance and prohibit scows and
houseboats from being under, bridges be
cause of fire hazard.
Orenfeii expressed doubt - that the
hm 11 f n wm AmrmmwiA irt f Via 6,tntri,w firs
will be repaired. It is considered prob
table that they will be condemned and
supplanted by modern buildings.
"This was the third fire In that
' stretch of water front since-. 1894, the
marshal declared, "and . the , buildings
have been simply repaired or recon
structed after the two previous fires.
i The Lilly Seed company and the Beebe
company were the heaviest losers. The
'damage to the seed plant could not be
estimated with any degree of accuracy,
'but will run between $50,900 and $75,000.
The Beebe -company still estimates its
loss at about $50000. Pamage to the
JW, P. Fuller company is not as great
's first reported, and it is thought that
$1000 will cover the damage.
J STOKE TO BE RESTOCKED
r C E. 'Blcknell, owner of the launch
.Independence, places bis loss at $6500,
4 which was first reported to be $2300.
The ; launch Is a : total wreck," being;
burned practically to the water's edge.
Damage to the National hotel will not
'amount to over $200, ire department of-
f totals report, while the ;; loss on the
steamer Stranger is not over $100, in
jplaoe of $4000, as first reported.
The Beebe Marine company will im
- mediately seek new quarters, will re
, stock their store, and carry on their
'business as before, they report. The
; . building where they were housed, which
.belongs to the Stephen S. Mead estate,
will probably be 'rebuilt, and when it is
completed they will return to their old
. intend.. The building is an ancient struc
- ture and the Ion through Its destruction
twill not amount to. over $3000, Captain
Roberts of the fire department said.
J - Four firemen suffered slight Injuries
in the blase, and all were taken to the
city emergency hospital at the police
station ' f or . treatment. Those injured
were H. H. Krdmaa, H. J, Heppner, -C.

FUNDS TO COMPLETE
ROADjAT REEDSPORT
T
$5000 Requested for Highway to
Summer Resort in Course '
of Construction.
' Reedsport. July 7 Business men and
all industrial Interests of Reedsport are
waging a "stubborn fight with the Doug
las county court to secure aid in comple
tion of the road from. Reedsport to Win
chester Bay, a summer resort at the
mouth of CneUmpqua river. The road,
when completed, will be four miles long,
through a beautiful country. ,
The road is partially built,, but $5000
or more will be needed to complete it.
The " court f has been asked to appro
priate 4000, - and by popular subscrip
tion $1000 will be raised.
The court offered 11500, but this wss
refused nti the grounds that the road
could be completed only by an ' appro
priation of $4000, and that it was useless
unless finished. ' ; ;
ThisJ will "be ' the only road ,out of
Reedsport. For more than 60 years this
part of thft county has paid taxes for
road , building. This is the first road
that the lower Cmpo.ua t district has
asked of the county court.
. A delegation of Reedsport , business
men 'will gd to Roseburg to plead before
the court.! If the appropriation : is not
granted the refusal promises to make a
bluer rift in county politics. -

gravel at Brandy bar, six miles up the
river from Jteedaport, when, they found
the remains of an old pistol of , the
-pepper box variety. 4 There are six
barrela' The hammer is over h powder
box. Evidently the pistol was loaded
with powder and - ball in each of the
six barrels ' and then; revolved. It was
necessary to fill the powder box each
time the pistol was discharged. -; --;
-The firearm r is very oldv A vessel
about 60 years ago went up the Umpqua
river to discharge a cargo of brandy at
Scotaburg. the crew got drunk and scut

gondola and steadied her until the ropes
could be eased off. Then the stern of
the ship was allowed, to rise, slowly until

McMlnnvllle, July 7.Jeff Clark,
nightwatchman of this city, was shot
through the arm at 3:15 o'clock Sun
day morning by unidentified men
traveling through the eity byauto.
They were In a light-colored auto
mobile, and had stopped under the
trees near the city halL : One man
stood on the sidewalk and three men
were in the automobile. -
A woman In a nearby residence heard
the remark, "Here be comes. As Clark
reproached the men asked him the road
to illlarisok. -t tc'-v them and they
irnmedlately . toIdT him to hold 1-p his
bands. Re did so and the man on the
outside shot htm through the wrist with
a shotgun. Clark ran in the direction
of the city , hall, and 13 other shots
were fired at him, both with shotgun
and - revolvers. Clark's hat was shot
through twice and his coat once, as he
ran, and many phots lodged In the wall
of the city halL dark ran to the Hotel
Yamhill, where his aim was found sd
badly shattered that It had to be ampu

the shooting as tTalng dressed In a brown
ult and cap. Another man was short
and dressed m a light suit.
The party at once left, going In the
direction of-the bridge leading to Day
ton. The presumption Is that they were
drunk and perhaps were transporting
liquor and were fearing arrest. The
city has offered a reward of 3500 for the
apprehension of the parties and evidence
leading to conviction.

nounced. A rumor had grown popular
that ' liquor purchased before July 1
could be kept In private homes law
fully since the federal prohibition law
does not ban such a course. The
state . law. Mr. Brand declared, goes
farther than the federal law in : this
respect.: He said the federal measure

-Price Draws Fire
Washington, July 7, Representative
Smith of Idaho has directed the atten

mountain states. "It costs nearly twice
as much as it does In the central and
eastern states, Said Mr. Smith.- "and
hope " an investigation will be con
ducted which will result in reduction
of price to western consumers. Now
that the war Is over there appears no
reasonable excuse for the exorbitant
charges, regardless of the question - of
freight rates." ?- .-
