A Hard Fight Was Made, Even Indi ans and a Chinaman Working In the Teeth of the Flames. La Grande, Oregon, Sept. 24. Tho Island City Flouring Mills, near La Grande, were burned to the ground yesterday ntternoon. Men worked vigorously to save the prop erty but the flames got a good Btart and could not be controled.

It has not been possible to learn how tho fire origin ated or the amount of loss, though the loss is thought to be large. Later. The fire originated in the Pioneer Flouring Mill Company's mill, nnd within a few minutes after Its dis covery spread to tho M. & M. Compa ny's Implement warehouse, which was soon completely destroyed, together with its contents. The church was the next to go, nnd then both of Mr. Thomas Wade's res idences.

The Origin. The fire was caused by the sparks from a traction engine which was used to furnish power In tho mills. The sparks caught on the cutsldo of the building and it was discovered soon, and It was thought that the men at tho mill would bo able to put It out before any great damago was done, but the building wus so dry that almost before they were aware of it the flames had penetrated to the Inside and then the battle was a hopeless one. Tho englno which had caused the trouble, was not shut off and still continued to run along after tho mill had toppled to tho ground. There was much good work done In saving property and many acts of personal bravery. Even the Indians worked with ceaseless and painstaking care in ro moving the goods from tho M. & M. Company's harness More. I eo Sing, a Chinaman, worked In tho heat which was so terrible that it was necessary to placo a bucket over his head, but still he worked away and accomplish ed much In saving the old brick tan nery building.

A yield of 01 busholH of wheat Is repoited from the Weber Bros, rnuch, seven miles noilh of town. The wheat was of the Little Club variety.
