MISTHUS FIRE IT DGMLOOII FOUR rats SIM ON MOUNTAINS EARLT FALL COVERS WEXAIIA RESERVE 3. M. Selimlti Tolls of Conditions In the Retire Few Trails Built This Year On Account of Shortage ot Fund Rig Fires In Blue Moun tain Pistrkt. Forest Supervisor J. M. Schmitx of the Wenaha national reserve re turned to his home In Walla Walla yesterday after a two weeks' trip through the forest, most of his time being spent fighting fires of more or less magnitude, says the Walla Wal la Union. ' He stated yesterday that four or five Inches of snow has fallen in the mountains south and east of Dayton during the past few days. According to old settlers it Is something unusual tJ have snow at this season as It rare ly ever comes before the last of Sep tember or the first of October. The biggest and most disastrous fire which has occurred In the We- ztana reserve auring me summer was at the head of the Wenatchee river south of Dayton. This fire burned over 1200 acres of underbrush and logs and required 20 men fighting al most day and nlgfit for 13 days to get Jt under control. When Mr. Schmlt2 arrived at the acene of this b! the worst damage had been done, but under his direc tions further precautions were taken to prevent Its spreading and It soon died out'. While It burned over a large area of ground there was little real damage done because there was no valuable timber on the land, It having been taken off previously. Another forest fire which threaten ed for a time to do considerable dam age was near the Oregon Buttes. This was discovered by Mr. Schmlta and Ranger Kendall before It had done much damage. Although there were but two of them they commenced digging trenches around the fire area, which was about three acres. This occupied the biggest part of one night and the fighters were rewarded by seeing the flames die down when they came te the trenches. Owing to a curtailment In govern ment appropriations for forestry work this year there Is not so much trail work being done In the Wenaha reserve as there was last season. There has been up until the present time about $500 expended for this work and there remains about that amount left for the same purpose. In addition to this $1000 there will be another thousand expended for build ing cabins for rangers and stockmen. According to reports brought by Mr. Schmltz. cattle and sheep within the bounds of the reserve were never In better condition than at. the present time. Many of the cattle are ready fnr beef now and will soon be driven out and sold to the butchers. Stock cattle will remain until next month when they will be brought down Into the valley for winter feed ing. Sheep are tn similar condition and already many of the mutton sheep have been brought from the mountains and sold. The grass seems to have attained a much moe luxuriant growth this sea son than for several years, which Is thought to be due to the careful re strictions placed upon cattle and sheepmen In regard to pasturing In one locality too long at a time. BAKEU CITY F1EXD CUT DOWN' ORCHARD. Yesterday when Mrs. L. Ingorsoll, who resides at 1739 Madison street, went to her garden lots" Just across from her homo she found to her great surprise, that some low-down spiteful enemy had cut down 40 of the fin fruit trees which she had set out this yenr, sys the Baker City Herald. About a week ago .parties entered the lots where Mrs. Ingersoll is pre pai'ng 'o build a home and dug up ab.nu n dozen choice rose bushe an l tearing up others. The bushes were tern up and left on the ground and the trees merely cut down and left there, showing that It was spite work on the part of the person, or persons, who did It. Mrs. Ingersoll has a couple of lots In Rust's grove and was setting out trees, planting flowers and fixing the place up for a future hoitle. She has spent much time and money on the place and feels very keenly the loss of all her efforts. The rose bushes were the finest she could buy and the treps were the choicest of apple, cherry, peach and plum. There was no robbery, as the plants and trees .vore not removed.

A business review of the state of Washington says of conditions there this fall: Washington banks have plenty of money. Deposits show an average in crease of between B and 6 per cent. This, taken with only a fair demand for loans, leaves them In better con dition than last year to meet any stringency which may lecur. Re serves are much greater; one bank reporting their cash reserves as being double the usual amount. The shipments of gold will bo much less than last year, as many banks report that they are overloaded with coin and currency; the demand, such , as It Is, being pretty well divided be tween Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and Portland, who In turn fall back on San Francisco. Quite a number of Washington banks buy commercial p.iper, al though a few are decreaslrtg the amount handled, owing to local de mands at this season. Without ex ception this class of loans appears to have given very good satisfaction. In some cases It was the only asset that could be counted on. One bank carrying over one-third of their loans in business paper have from $100,000 to $200,0t) coming due monthly. They report that all which fell due during the financial stringency was exceedingly satisfac tory except three or four pieces, for some of which they have taken long t( rm notes and expect to lose little. The Vreeland-Aldrich act does not meet much favor, as the terms of the act are not considered to be liberal enough. In some quarters It Is thought that the law may help mat tors In a good deal the same manner as tho clearing house notes did last fall, but a bond secured currency Is not believed In, asset currency against n proper coin reserve being preferred. Spokane hns Invited the Inland banks to Join with them In a' currency asso ciation under the new Ia. Present business conditions are said to be good, but the crop shortage In the, eastern part of the state may later have some effect, which will be partially offset ljy the high price of wheat. Merchants' collections are only fair, and the volume f trade appears to have fallen off to some extent. By a flrethat broke out shortly af ter 12 o'clock last night the Ogg sa loon on Main street was completely destroyed and the Queen chop house was badly demolished. The circum stances surrounding the fire are pe culiar and have caused much com ment today. The fire In the old saloon was dis covered by the cook In the chop house. At first he' trlde to quench the blaze with a bucket of water, but finding that the entire place was afire he gave the alarm. In response the two central com panies and some of the outside fire teams were soon on the scene. Ow ing to the location of the fire It prom ised for a time to be a disastrous conflagration. It was In the center of a solid business block and Imme diately In the rear of the place Is the Queen lodging house, a frame struc ture that would have undoubtedly burned to the ground had It caught fire.. The Taylor hardware store. ad Joining the burning room on the north, was also endangered. But the fire was well confined be tween the brick walls of the Lennox building and the fire department was' able to hold It completely In check. As a result the only damage to oth er property consists of a burned awn ing In front of the Hennlng cigar store. The saloon Itself Is a total wreck, while the chop house was but partly damaged.' Insured for $1500. At the time of the fire the Ogg sa loon was Insured with J. M. Bcntley for $1500. This amount It Is cur rently reported will more than cover the loss In view of the present value of saloon fixtures In Pendleton. Un til August 24 the place was Insured for $2500. On that date $1000 of the Insurance expired and It was not re newed. The building In which the saloon and chop house were situated belongs to Joslah Lennox, a former resident of this city. Lot Llvermore Is his. agent. Insurance amounting to 13,- 000 was carried on the building, so the owner will lost nothing. Origin a Mystery. What started the fire seems a deep mystery and there has been much speculation concerning it today. The night bartender Is said to have left the place about IS minutes before the fire was discovered. He was eating a a restaurant wnen tne Deji rang. The room had Just been rewired, so no blame can well be attached to electric wires and as there was no fire in the place the origin cannot be traced to a stove. A carelessly drop ped match or cigar may have done the work. According to Fire Chief John Vaughan the appearance of the fire Indicated It had started behind the bar. It Is rumored that a man was seen sneaking about the place a little while before the fire started, but nothing definite seems to be known about him.
