Apprentices in Irons Have a Narrow
Escape from Death.
Newport, R. I., Jan. 30. — Seven
buildings, connected with the United
States naval training station at Coast
ers’ Harbor island in this city were
destroyed by fire tonight, causing an
estimated loss of $100,000. The build
ings destroyed were tho detention

paymaster’s storehouse, carpenter shop
and two small storehouses.
One of the burned bnildiogs con

were destroyed. Several apprentices in
single irons were confined in the de
tention building at the time the fire
broke out. Physical Instructor Joseph
Kirby liberated them by a heroic
effort.
When he reached the deten
tion building be could not see the
yonng prisoners on account of the
smoke, but they answered his call.
Supported by a line of men Kirby
made his way to the spot where the
boys were in confinement and passed
them back one by one to the men be
hind him, and so out to the sea wall.
In passing over the sea wall two ol the
manacled boy* fell overboard, but were
rescued.
For a time the famous old frigate
Constellation, which is need as a prac

of destruction, but prompt work on the

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ADD T O RESERVES,
Government Wilt Soon to Take Action
on Oregon Forests.
Washington— The present year iz
likely to zee several m illion acre added
to the forest reserve of Oregon.
Up to
this time 0,072,560 acres have been
brought within permanent foreet re
serves, a ad 0,008,330 acres additional
have been temporarily
withdrawn.
Just what part of this latter area is to
become permanent foreet reserve and
what part is to he turned back to the
public domain has not been determined.
Out of the withdrawals, however,
2,130,400 acres set appart for the Blue
mountain reserve w ill be placed under
the foreet administratoin.
There has been an intimation that a
pr<>clamation w ill soon issue creating
a Rogue river foreet reserve in South
western Oregon, for which 1,192,320
acres have been withdrawn. This pro-
posed reserve takes in fully half of
Curry and Josephine counties and small
portions of Coos and Douglas.
When
originally mapped out, the Rogue river
reserve was deemed impracticable, be
cause the railroad land grant traverses
the area. Now that the lieu land law
is repealed and there is no danger of
lieu laud frauds, this objection from
the government standpoint seems to
have been removed.
Various withdrawals of small areas
in Marion, Linn, Lane and Douglas
counties, aggregating 250,040 acres,
have been made with a view to enlarg
ing the Cascade reserve along its west
)>oundary. It is quite probable thai
these tracts w ill be permanent reserves.
The same is true of the withdrawal of
12.000 acres in Clackamas county ad
joining the Cascade reserve.
In Morrow and Grant counties a
withdrawal has been made embracing
417.000 acres, which w ill eventually be
made into the Heppner forest reserve
unless present plans are abandoned.
It has not yet been determined what
dispoeition shall he made of the Warner
mountain withdrawal, which embraces
2,839,810 acres in Klamath, Lake anil
Crook counties.
Mach of this land,
upon examination, has been found un
fit for forest reserve purposes, and w ill
probably be turned back to the public
domain, but those portions which are
valuable for timber or as protection to
watersheds are likely to be permanent
ly reserved at some future time.
In
addition to the foregoing, 1,280 acres
in JackBon county have been withdrawn
with a view to enlarging the Ashland
reserve and 4,480 acres in Crook county
withdrawn to enlarge Maury mountain
reserve.

Victoria, B. C., Jan. 25. — The
wrecked steamer Valencia now iiea sub
merged and broken, but a portion of a
mast stands above water and the fleet
of steamers and tugs have today been
turning their attention to patrolling
the vicinity with the hope of finding
boats, rafts or wreckage still afloat with
survivors, though the
chance« are
small.
Ashore, several parties have been
toiling over most arduous trails, some
carrying succor to those who were
washed ashore, others scouring the
rugged rocks of the shore line seeking
for any survivors that may have
reached shore and be lying hungry and
helpless, and others are engaged in the
melancholy duty of recovering bodies.
Of the total company of 154, but 33
have been definitely accounted for, and
three men, believed to be other sur
vivors, were seen on shore from the
whaling vessel Orion, near the wreck,
huddled about a fire. Bix survivors
have been taken up on the Salvor;
niue, most of them so badly cut up and
bruised, without food, and bo overcome
that they coaid not stand, much less
walk, are still camped at Darling
Creek, a telegraph hut, and 18 others
were picked up by the City of Topeka.
With the three seen from the Orion,
a mile and a half from the wreck, add
ed, the survivors total 36, leaving a
death list of 119 persons. Not a woman
or child is among the saved.
Scant hope is entertained by those
on board the patrolling steamers that
any others will be recovered, for the
