Eepoit of Committee on Origin of Ee
. : cent Piies.
The Dalles, Sept. 15, 1801.
To J. O. Farley, chairman of citizens' meet
- inif, and to Uu- citizens of Dalies City:
e, your comumcea appuimeu iu iuca
ticate the origin of the several distressing
tirea tchmh have recently occurred in our
cityj and to-lnqoire into the many reports
of attempted fires, which have teen in cir
culation since the tires, beg leave to report:
We have made inquiries as to five re
ported fires and two alleged attempts to set
fires, ai.d find that the report that three
seoarate fires have been set at the Catholic
church is wholly without foundation; no
attempts have been made, so far as we can
learn, to born the Catholic church, or any
bnildint; connected tnerewitn. me report
that the house occupied by J. M. Smith had
bee'u set on fire is wholly untrue. We were
informed that a fire had been eet and extin
guished under the China washhonse ast
west of the Baldwin restaurant. Upon in
vestigation we found that this report arose
out of the attempt of some person who de
sired to rob the China house to induce the
. occupants to leave the building. The occu
pants of the building declare that no fires
have been discoyered about the building,
and that the person who warned them of
the fire was, as they believe, endeavoring to
get them out in order to pilfer. The report
that combustible materials saturated with
oil had been placed in a sbed adjoining the
premises of M. T. Nolan proved to be un
true. A small quantity of bark-chips and
splinters with a small piece of cotton cloth
waa found piled on a grainsack in such a
shed, appearing to be the work of children.
. There was no oil abont it.aud we do not be-
r. lie ve they were the materials of an incen
diary. The report that the barn on the
premises formerly occupied by Mr. Ben
Snipes had been saturated with oil was
. without any foundation; upon examination
of the premises we found no evidences ef
l .i
uu fcuere.
We have carefully inquired into the
: origin of all the four recent fires. We find
that the fire of September 2 started either
-. in the basement of F. W. L. Skibbe's house,
or under the house of J. H. Larsen; there
had been no fires in either of these houses
- for some weeks, and none in the Skibbe
(innsa mnnA aniMnrr. f !i Q fnnn1ifinn nf fhfl
Larsen house was so enclosed as to prevent
access under the house; the basement to the
Skibbe house was open and cloar of all
. easily combustible materials. The persons
: .1- V, n AianntraraA hi lira nnrt I'.'ul'P uruf: in
the Skibbe bouse, believe that the fire orig
inated in the basemen of that house, but
; detected no evidence ofincendiary work
- other than that there was a, fire; to odor
of burning oil was detected iu the smoke;
the fire occurred just at a time when many
persons were most likely to be about the
buildings, and there is nothing that iudi-

' cendiary; we are unable to ascertain what
caused it, - unless it was from matches

. aroppea mrougn carelessness or carrieu. uy
rats or mice. So far as we can learn there
were no attempts made on the 2d to set fire,
and believe that all the fires which occurred
On that day came from the one fire in the
Skibbe or Larsen bouse.
The fire which occurred on the 5th inst.
at the fair grounds commenced in the first
or second stable from the east side. These
two stables were unoccupied and were not
locked. They contained more or less of
straw and dry manure and when the nre
started it burned slowly, there being about
fiv minnton from T.hn time it WAS first seen
before it was of sufficient extent to attract
'particular attention, and even then it was
not supposed that the stables were on fire.
No strangers or suspicious persons were
seen abont the building during the day or
evening, and men who were connected with

short time before the fire. In our judgment
" the fire originated from a cigar or cigarette
, stub dropped by some one about the stables
. during the day or evening.
We find that the fire in Mr. J. T. Peters'
stable commenced in the basement of the
- staoie; tne mam pari oi me Darn was usea
as a store house for boxing materials and a
- small amount of hay, and was kept securely

of the building after 3 o'clock of the day of
the fire, and the nersons who were list
known to have been there had no fire "with
. them. The basement, which extended un-
been used as a stable and contained more or
less straw and dry manure and a consider
able amount of sawdust. For the past few
. months it had not been locked, but was ac
cessible to anyone desiring to enter; the
portion of town where it is situated we find
is a rendezvous for tramps and Indians, and

the day many strangers had been in the
city, particularly that portion of it. The
fire was not discovered until well under
' headway, and those first there discovered
no evidences that the fire had been inten
tionally set; there is no evidence that any

building.
The testimony as to the origin of the fire
in the rear of the Michelbaeh block is very
conflicting; some of the witnesses who
claim to have seen the fire before the alarm
' was sounded locate the fire wholly in the
upper portion of the closet, while others ae
clare that it was wholly confined to the
, lower part. A lamp was kept burning every
night m the npper closet, and the fire may
possibly have been caused by tbe explosion
of this lamp. The fact that the timbers in
the lower portion of this closet were more
nearly burned off than they were above in
dicates that the fire originated below and
near the ground. There are many circum
- stances connected with this fire tending to
' show that it was of incendiary origin. We

and - carefully investigated by someone
skilled in detectiye work.
Had any of the first three fires occurred
at another time we believe there would
have been no serious suspicion that they
were of incendiary origin; we can find no
motive for the Betting of these (ins. Th
city has been well guarded, and the (;reat
anxiety and alarm of the citizsn, while
natural under the circumstances, we think
was unnecessary and was occasioned largely
by the many false reports of fires and at-
. tempted fires; more care in ascertaining the
correctness or incorrectness of such reports
would rave allayed the public uneasiness
and apprehension.

"Grand Dalles."
Chicago, Sept. 13, 1S91.
Editor Times-Mopstaisber:
Will yon please answer a woman's en
quiries. What is the standing and reliabil
ities of the Inter-State Investment & Im
provement Co., and of property or lots in
"Grand Dalles" Wash., owned or operated
by one Kev. O. D. Taylor? Is stock in this
Company at par and is it safe investment?
Are lots in "Grand Dalles" worth from $100
to $400 each, and will it be safe to buy
them?
Does this Company own and operate two
fish wheels near The Dalles? Your answer
may save or lose my property. M. A.
As regards lots in Bockland, North
Dalles or Grand Dalles they are not sought
at any price, and we doubt whether the
choicest would bring $100. The scheme
from the beginning has been one, of the
most fraudulent land booms that was ever
originated in the northwest, and tbe pile of
rocks and sand on the north side of the Co
lumbia riyer has never possessed a single J
atnr;.l facility to build up a town of any
importance. The Dalles, on the Oregon
side, has many natural facilities for a great
commercial and manufacturing center; but
the north side none whatever. As these
fraudulent misrepresentations of the bnrren
north bank of the Columbia are injuring
our own pwpects.our board oi trade should
publish the facts in the case, and not be
held responsible for any nefarious land
booming project. Kditor.

Arrested for Embezzlement.
East Oregonian.
A sensation has been created at Pendle
ton by the arrest of D. B. Watson, late
bookkeener and collector of the Electric
Liirht and Power company. He left th
employ of the company August 24th, an
took a position with Hamilton & O'Rourk
in Adams. It is charged that instead of
straightening ud and explaining his book
and accounts and turning them over, he
took them to Adams, together with the
kevs of the company. When the books
were returned and checked up by the com
Danv. thev were found iu a badly mixed
condition end a shortage was discovered
an amount not yer made public. Watson
was then telephoned, but failed to appear
until Deputy Sheriff Johnson was sent to
Adams and otheially notified him to go
Pendleton. The deputy and Watson ar
rived Wednesday evening, and as Watson
was ill. he was takeu to" the Golden Rule
hotel, where he explained to the officers of
the company that the inaccuracies were due
to errors, and it them was a shortage n
wouM make it good. Ihe company was
satisfied with hid explanation, and it was
understood that the matter would be settled
the next day. Wednesday morning C
Wade called at the hote.1 and found thai
Watson had left on the morning train for
Huntington. A telegram was sent to Baker
Citv and he wss arrested there and taken
back to Pendleton, where an examination
will be given nim.
