The need of better protection against

conflagatlon. A better force of flro is
required, and this could be supplied
by connecting a main with the O. R &

it the entire length of First street.

Just afr.er the east bound train had
deuaried from the depot :--unday r ight
J.iraes White, who was returning to
his place of business, saw a blaze on
Second street, between Federal and
Laughlin. He immediately sho'u bis
pistol three times which was answered
by someone down the street. At that
time a freight tn.in was pulling out
and the engineer noticing the fire be
gan blowing the engine whistle, and
just as the clo::k was striking twelve
the alarm was sounded from the engine
hous. Inside of eis;ht minutes the
Columbia Hose Company was at the
scene of ths fire, followed closely by
Jackson Engine Company, No. 1.
The fire was located in The Dalles
Crystal lee Company's plant, which
was in course of construction and
nearly completed. It was but a short
time until the streets were thronged
with people, and they immediately be
gan getting out the farmirg Imple
ments, wagons and other things that
were easy of access in tbe large build
ing occupied by W. A. Johnston &Co ,
which was at this time on fire.
During this time the fire engine had
located at the cistern at the inter
section of Third nd Laughlin streets.
The cistern was pumped dry and tbe
engine had to be moved to the cistern
at the intersection of Third and Wash
ington street,wbich caused some delay
and during this time the store of Louie
Cowini and the warehouse of Mays &
Crowes, on Second street ignited.
Willing bands got out most of the
rolling stock a-id other goods which
could be handled easily. Then when
it was known that Thos. Ward's bouse
on the corner of Third and Laughlin
street, the long shed used by Ward &
Robertson for storing buggies, Fred
Bayley's residence the warehouse of J.
H. Cross were ablaze it was a foregone
conclusion that the immense ware
house of Mays acu Crowe, on the cor
ner of Third aud Federal streets was
doomed. It was hardly announced
until this structure, which had been
completed but a few mouths, was one
mass of flames. People residing IP
the upper story of the building bud
gotten mot of their things out.for the
.chances of savirg the building in the
early part of the conflagration seemed
small, so no chances were taken.
Going west tbe fire spent itself on this
bu'lding. Crossing Second street the
fire reduced to smoldering ruins the
building occupied , by A. Sandrock,
as a wagon shoo, Gunning & Hock
man's blacksmith shop, Hoyle &
Laaer's carpenter shop, Mrs. Gilmore's
restaurant, Lynch Bros.' barber shop,
Wilder's photograph gallery and tbe
old Times-Mountaineer building, which
bad lately been moved to property ad
joining the Fitzgerald ruins. On the
South side of Second street going
Eastt from tbe origin of the fire, the
gtcond hand store run in connection
with the Great Northern Furniture
store, and Pease & Mays' agricultural
warehouse were consumed.
By struDUons efforts Murchie Bros.'
livery stable was saved as was also the
millinery store owned by Mrs. Peirano.
Here the fire spent itself and by tbe
exertions of the firemen was gotten
uuder control. Pease & Mays' general
merchandise store had a very close
call, but the canvas awnings were
pulled -down, while blankets were
placed over the windows and exposed
parts and kept thoroughly saturated
with water, The new Vogt block
also had a close call, out the root was
covered with men with buckets of
water and tbe windows on the side of
the building were cove-.ed with wet
blankets.' Everyone was on the alert
to see that tbe fire did not enter this
building for had it done so, it is very
likely we would have had a repetition

Another anUa Letter
L. D. Qakeg is in receipt of a letter
from Corporal Thomas Sfmiley, of Co
L, one of tbe boys from The Dalles
who is stationed a; Qavite. The letter
is dated July 9, and says at the time of
writing the company had been in camp
;t Cavite one week, but had seen no
active service, Jhotjgb they could hear
tbe'InsurgebCB and' Spaniards lighting
every night. Oae hundred and nit-
Spanish soldiers who bad surrendered,
said prosieions were very scarce at
Manila, and .the troops ere on short
rations.
Mr. SmiW says the Oregon regi
ment, ia the best of all the volunteers,
and can lay any of tham n the shade
at drill. The boys get ap at4lnth.e
morning and drill from 5:30. to 0:110;
theD they have nothing to do until 5
o'clock, when they drill for another
hour.
He says the weather is quite warm,
but there is usually a shower every
afternoon that cools the atmosphere.
The troops, he says, are supplied
with an abundance of fruit and a suffi
cient supply of substantial food, hence
are well provided and would be com
fortable if they had good water. This
is all that is lacking to make them
comfortable. Tbe water used at Cavite
isciiugbt off tbe roofs during rain
storms, and has to be boiled before it
can be used, but then it is not good to
drink.
Most of tbe soldiers are getting tired
of their inactivity, and would all be
willing to come home, but they want
to see just one battle before they are
called back to America.

Dalles Boy Writes of Affairs in the
Philippines.
E. R. Balla-d. of Tne Dalles, In com
pany L, Oregon Volu iteers at Manila,
writes an Interesting letter to his
father, which tells of many affiirs so
far not, reported. He says: "It is a
great sight to stand on the fort here
and see nine ships just a sticking up
out of the water. We have been on
shore since a wek ago yesterday and
it has given all of us b ya quite a
chance to look around the isUnds
whneyer tbe insurgents are in charge.
Right up outside of Manila there is
an English fleet and a German fleet.
Two days auo two German ships came
into the harbor without saluting the
American fleet. Admiral Dewey went
to them in a small boat, boarded them
and gave them 24 hours to slute the
American flg, which they did the
next afternoon.
The Spaniards and the Insurgents
a -e fighting every night and resting
during the day time.
Dewey has a Beet of ten ships in port
now and we expect the second expedi
tion any day, just as soon as it gets
here we will take Manila.
Col Summers thinks they will sur
render as soon as we commence to
bombard. Then our hardest fia-bt will
be to keep tne Insurgents from looting
the town Both General Anderson
and Colonel Summers think the Ore
gon volunteers will be tbe first to go
home and expect our boys to eat
Christmas dinner in O-egon.
The natives are small and awful
black. Taey will steal a person blind
if th ?y have a chance.
We have fine barracks in old Fort
Cavite, which was captured by Dewey.
I am feeling fine and bave not been
the least bit sick since cnminc ashore.
I send a couple of pictures of the com
pany. '
