PORTLAND'S BIG BLAZE
PROPERTY TO THE VALUE
OF $400,000, DESTROYED.
Started at 11 O'clock Saturday Night
in the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works
and Swept Away Six Acres of Lum
ber Yards and Buildings.

night fire broke out in the Wolff &
Zwicker iron works on East Water
and East Madison streets, Portland,
and before it was placed under con
trol, burned over six acres of -terri
tory and destroyed property, roughly
estimated at $400,000 in value.
The fire had gained a tremendous
headway before the alarm was turn
ed. in and when the first engines
Teached the scene the plant was in a
mass of flames. Great sheets of fire
leaped into the air 2000 feet high,
making the territory miles around as
light as day. The fire next attacked
the East Side Lumber Company's
mill and yard. Inflamable material
burst out as though saturated with
oil and in half an hour the mill was
nothing but ruins.
Burned a Bridge.
Two spans of the Madison street
bridge fell In and the Portland City
& Oregon Railway warehouse was
destroyed. The entire absence of
wind aided the firemen or the whole
warehouse district on the east side
would have been burned.
Insurance is light as the rate in
that vicinity is almost prohibitive.
At 1:15 o'clock a. m., the fire was
under control.
