Yesterday was a sad day for As

On thousand men are employed
in the Skagit River logging camps.
What a grand amount of free
advertising the Fourth of July gets.
Never was Chinook turkey
fatter or bettor flavored than this sea

of the city council at one o'clock this
afternoon.
A respectable delegation from
this city will be present at the Port

Never in tho history of this gen
eration has the country needed rain
as badly as at the present time.
On every side, between here and
Portland may be seen a forest lire a
cloud of smoke by day, a pillar of fire
by night.
The West Short for J une is of
local interest, containing well execu
ted lithographs of Astoria residences
and scenery, and a fair article on our
county, resources, etc.
The announcement of the Will

interest by those who are desirous of
procuring an education without ex

U. S. Marshal E. S. Kearney, of
Portland, has made his office pay all
its expenses, and leave a surplus of
2,000 from fes3 received during tho
year ending Juno 30th. A good
showing.
The E. T. CroivcU has on 22,000
cases. She has till next Monday to
load but will probably get her cargo

which will go on berth to load salmon.
Round trip tickets to Portland and

Forty-five dollars per month "and

The N. Y. Sun say that eggs are
imported to Jthat city from Europe.
From tho highly-flavored specimens
aometiaes found on Astoria tables it
would almost seem as though Euro

western shore.
John Carlson who is down from
Skaaiokwa with a bad case of salmon
poisoning suffered the amputation of
the little finger of his left hand. It is
by no means certain that the opera
tion will obviate the necessity of
further treatment.
C. E. "Van Horn, a thorough go

Saerman & Hinman's circus is in the
city. Wo've never known him to ad
Tertise anything that wasn't first class
ad the circus of which he is justly
proud, will doubtless draw a crowded
house next Saturday.
Tho receipt of a complimentary
ticket to the Knights' ball to-morrow
evening is acknowledged. The fact
that the affair is under the manage

aafScient guarantee that tho.ie who

A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
The
Most Disastrous Fixe in
History of Astoria.
the
Yesterday was an exceedingly vrarm
day. The wind blow steadily from J
tne west, out tno streets ami House
walls felt warm. The Ions continued
drought had made the whole city un
usually dry, and even where a care
leas passer dropped acicar stump, the
smouldering plank showed how little
cause was needed to start a dreadful
blaze. fAbout six o'clock the breeze
had gone down in a measure, the
streets were full of people when sud
denly the dreadful fire alarm wa3
sounded. A dense volume of black
smoke and a column of fire showed
that it was uo common scare, but that
Astoria's worst fears were realized.
Quick as it takes to write it the
companies were on the ground to find
tke Clatsop mill, formerly Geo.
Hume's, in a sheet of flame. The:
fire swung around from the engine
room where it seemed to have origi
natcd, and licked up the lumber piles
and store house,giving out the most in- j
tense heat. No. 2 s were stationed by i
Chiof Barry m front of liarth &
Meyer's, No. I'd on Hume's d jck.
Tho efforts of the department woro
at first to confine the fire to its origi
nal limits, but the cunsod wind fanned
the fiery mass which set the houses
across Gth street in a blaze. A larce
barn standing on Squcmoqua
street was full -r goods and
coal oil, this .as the point
centered on by tho department.
Streams wore put onto it, aud an
opening being made in tho building,
hundreds of cases cf coal oil were car-
ried up to Oiney street. The "ds
were thrown into the water, and not
withstanding the intense heat, every
oase of coal oil was got out.
We have never soon a hotter fire;
nor one in which the firemen worked
harder. Indeed nothing but the most
superhuman exertiou saved that
buildm". Everyone worked. The
idea suggested to blow up tho build
ing was a good one, and should our
unfortunate little city ever be scourg
ed so again, the first and oyi.y thing
to do will be to blow up or pull down
all iu the way of the fire and cut off
all connection that it would be likely
to feed on. It was evident from the
first that all on the roadway between
the saw mill and O'Brien's hotel was
doomed. No time was there to save
anything. The dry houses wore
glowing and burst into sheets of flame
that instantly spread. Every availa
ble force was brought into requisition.
Men worked till they dropped and
othors took their places. They stood
in clouds of smoke and ken' the fire
at bay : Flavel's imuii sent a coodi
stream; the one lack was sufficient
hose to throw another sii'eam; the old
hand engine was brought up from
Hustlers wharf but was of little avail.
Tho fire leaped across the street and
beginning at the O. K. lodging
house burned that, Groenburg's store
went next and tho great column ot
crimson flame swept down the Toad-
way. Amid the roar of the advanc
ing flames swept on by the breeze,
could bo heard tho crash "if falling
timbers and the sharp detonations of
cartridges. The rjadway, ,wus one
solid mass of flame. The houses, the
street itself, the eidof aflcs,6vcrything.
The history of that dreadful hour can
never be "written. There was iio
frenzy. From Frank Fabre's down
past Luigi Serra's, and Mrs. Grants,
to Ike Foster's and across to Foard &
Stokes, and . on the other side
from Spexarth's down past the Cen
tennial, everyone saw that there was
no help and that their property was
doomed. Nothing left but to seize
money and valuables and rush out up
the hill. It was awful. It is useless
to attempt any description of it.
Where everything was built of wood,
dry and seasoned, a "wind blow
ing and the great masses of flame
advancing with appalling spead, the
wonder ia that there is no loss
of life to report. To talk of what
"might have been" had Chief Engi
neer Barry's orders been carried out,
is useless now. He sent a written
order that showed excellent judgment
and on which should have been
obeyed. His idea was to mass three
streams on one puint and check the
fire from crossing where tho 0. R. &
N. 'dock presented an interest
ing morsel for the fire. But
through some misunderstanding
that was not done. Perhaps it
couldn't have been. Barry was
up in front and he and indeed every
member of the three companies did
all that men could do, to stop the
fire. When the flames threw out long
crimson tongues through the O. R.
v jm. qook it was evment mat every
thing in that end of town was gone.
Mr. Noyes and tho ulerkB got out tho
books of account, and valuable pa'
pers. Everything else was a total
loss. The docks aud coal bonkers,
the immense amount of goods, includ
ing $50,000 worth of salmon, 4i miles
of water nine, etc is irone. Of tho
10,000 cases of salmon the Scandina-
vian had 3,000 cases insured, the Oc
cident 2,000; the LX.L had 1,001);
the Astoria Packing Co., 1,000; the
Point Adams Packing Co., 1,000
uninsured.

store furnished an example of deprav
ity that we would prefer not chron

Throughout ali, the fire compiinies :
did all that men could do; they de
serve the highest praise for their ef
forts, as do the citizens that a: thvi
rish of life went into the burning
warehouse and carried out case after
case of coal oil. To individualize tho
loss is impossible. Fortunately there
was uo serious mishap to life or limb.
The mill in which the lire, originated
a dangerous institution and
should fiot he rebuilt in that
place. The greatest loss to the
owners was the burning of tho
immense quantity of manufactured
lumber. The insurance was $11,09!.
Tho most important was the loss of
the O. R. & 2s. docks. Those struc
tures, including the coal bunkers, with
their contents were vnhied at $125,000.
The total loss is about S2o0,000; the
insurance on this is very light. The
sight is a sickening ene. Where yes
terday all was bustle and industry lies
a mass of smoldering rums. Tho loss
is not irreparable. It was to be ex
pected, and wo wore not surprised.
The wonder h it didn't occur before.
The lesson is so plain that it is unnec
essary for us to add one word of com
ment. Let us 3ee that it does net
happen again.
Atnjghtfall,Captain Mile3 with a de
tachment of twenty-five men from tho
fort came up as a special guard. The
chief of police detailed a special forco
to keep watch, and all over the city a
good many private citizens kept vigil.
We have, it seoma, a lawlesa element
who seize on the opportunity that dis
aster affords to plunder and thus add
to the general distress. An example is
needed.
To give a list of those who deserve
mentionjfor their pluck, in standing in
from the first to tho last would till a
column. Every one worked with tho
best intentions, aud that tho city is
not wholly iu ashes is due to the
brayery and persistent "etFort of the
fire department and the citizens who
aided. Capt. Flavel's atcatn pump
did good work, and had there been
sufficient hose even more aid could
have been given. The prompt action
of Captain Miles in bringing up a pa
trol guard entitles him to the heartiest
thanks of our citizens.
The insurance is between $40,000
and?50,000. A part of the bnrnt
district was owned by V. V. Parker,
W. Welch, Mrs. J. P. Ward of
Portland, and the Kinney brothers.
