Calm Kveulng Help
A fire starting from an oil stove
in the bouse occupied by Mr. W. O.
Moms, Hifhduy evening about 7
o'clock, 1 urn il three residences and'
a lurge barn before the flames
could be chocked. Those who lost
their homes were, Mrs. W. O. lion
I house owned by 'Mr. J. L, 'Myers),
Andrew Shade and Cha. Wade. The
A. II. Mock garage and woodshed
were destroyed and Baber Hros.'s
large barn, containing approximate
ly f 1 ,000 worth of hay and some
other material, went Up In smoke.
Contrary to reports, .no livestock
perished.
Mr. Shade was one of (he first to
the 'fire. Mrs. Ron ran to his home
and shouted lbl her boute was
afire. The flames spread so quick
ly that little could 'he done. . Mr.
tfhnde, beelde losing his home, lost
$100 worth of wood, some of his
household furniture and a two
years' supply of canned fruit. Mrs.
Ito lost her furniture, but most ar
ticle from (he Wade home were
saved. . '
Bniber Bros., were perha'iis the
heaviest loser, and 'Mr. Shado was
the only one who carried Insurance.
Owing to the confusion the tire
alarm was not turned in from any
of the places destroyed, but from
the W. '!mpbere home on West 1
street. The 1ieat from the large
barn which was stored with hay
made the work difficult for the fire
men, bul they were favored by a
perfectly calm evening. One Incident
that greatly lnterferred with their
work was the slipping of one of the
drive chains on the fire truck just
before they reached the scene of the
fire. Being unable to get any closer
they were comielld to use the ordi
nary canvas hose. Instead of the
pressure hose. This mnde a differ
ence of about 50 (tounds In the pres
sure used.
Two other lines of hose were laid
from the hydrant at the cornef of
Pine and I streets making three linos
of hose playing on the fire, but from
these latter only the ordinary pres
sure from the city reservoir could be
had. and It was only -with much dif
ficulty that other buildings close by
were saved.
This morning only charred embers
marked the place where the three
homes and lurge barn stood.

STATU FKOEHATIOV OF
LABOR MEETS AT BEXD
Portland, Oct.. 6. Organized la
bor's proposed alliance with the
non-partisan league, the state grange
and the farmers union In the forma
tion of a state wide laJbor party will
be one of the chief questions hefore
the Oregon State Federation ot ta
bor which convenes In its a'nnual ses
sion at iBend, starting today.
This projected step into the polit
ical arena, together with the avowed
intention of the "red" element in or
ganized labor to dominate the state
convention, promises to make the
coming state convention one ot the
memorable meetings 1n the history
of organized labor.
That the radicals will make a de
termined effort to control the delib
erations of the State 'Federation of
Ijibor Is admitted, but the conserva
tives In Portland scout the idea that
the radical element will be able to
put across any of Its propaganda, al
though the IPortland delegation to
the state meeting will have a large
number of leaders who are number
ed among the radical element.

TO SAVE RUSSIA
English Conutmndi-r Hay Admiral
Standi) l'p for Poor Cham While
limine Favors lloargeois
London, Oct. . Colonel John
Ward who has just returned from
Siberia where he commanded a bat
talion of (British troops which helped
to overthrow the bolshevik power
there, says, "In my opinion the only
chance for democracy in 'Russia lies
in the success of Kolchak. m atti
tude on the land question shows that
he 4s not the reactionary he has
been represented. He sees clearly
that the distribution of big estates
among the peasantry cannot be inter
fered with.
"It is proposed that those land
owners who have survived bolshe-
vism shall be given compensation for
the land they bar. loU but there is
no idea' of restoring the land to
them. Kolchak stands up for the
poor peasants against what Lenlne
has been called the 'village ot bour
geoisie.' "It Is found that well-to-do peas
ants bad murdered many of the land
owners, given a meagre portion of
the poorest land to the poor peasants
and joined the bulk ot the' estate to
their own holdings. Kolchak, with
the advice of representatives of the
allies, decided to secure for the poor
peasants a fair distribution ot the
land. When this was known the com
paratively wealthy peasants, who had
secured the biggest share ot the
land raised the cry that the old state
ot affairs was to be restored. In
some cases they stirred up- the peas
ants to revolt and caused disturb
ances which had to be put down by
force.
"To know what Bolshevism is you
should have been with me at Perm
when the Joe on the river was melt
ing and the bodies of many who had
been murdered 'by the ibolshevkii
were revealed. I, myself, saw 50 of
them and among them were 'the
bodies ot a number ot women and
children. lAt one place there was
a wash house built over the river.
The bolshevik! cut a hole In the floor
through which they dropped their
victims into the deep waters be
neath. Bolshevism means the end
of democracy. 1 am certain that It
Russia is left to the bolshevik', it
will ultimately return to autocracy."
