ANOTHER WIN
FOR HOME TEAM
Redmond Defeated in Well Played
Game by Score of 7 to 2.
U'lre fielders Save Much Property,
Ifenty of Lumber on lUntt for
Local Needs-New At III Will llo
InstaHcd Immediately.
On Saturday morning the lumber
mill of the Pilot liuttc Development
Company was destroyed by fire.
The mill Itself was ft total loss,
nothing being rescued except some
effice papers and ptopcrty. All the
lumber in the yards, however, ap
proximating some 300,000 feet,
was saved, as was the dry kiln,
which had been Installed the pre
ccedlui; week.
The blaze started in the engine
room at about 9:30 a. tn. and be
fore It was possible even to give the
alarm the flames had licked up the
iullamiblc dust and dry timbers and
the whole structure was atire. The
alarm Immediately was scut to the
IJcnd office by telephone, but long
before help arrived the working
force of 40 men had been forced to
abandon the mill, which In 10 min
utes practically was destroyed.
In a remarkably short time 0
hundred and more men gathered to
fight fire, all of whom turned to,
ripping up the wooden tramwaye
which connected the burning struc
ture with the lumber piled in tin
yards, the dry kiln and sheds,
liven with the big force removing
these tramways at the double quick
the fire would probably have
spread to the piled lumber before
the trams could have been removed
had not the strong westerly brecre
backed the flames towards the riv
er, lessening the danger to the
yards. With the exception of per
haps 20,000 feet of lumber piled
close to the mill, every bit in tht
yards was saved, as was the drj
kiln.
It Is estimated that the lots of
property was about 10,000. nearly
half being covered by Insurance
No blame whatever is attached to
the disaster, and great credit is due
to those whose energy and head
work saved so much valuable prop
crty. The fire originated from pne
of those unexplained accidents
which at all times are likely to oc
cur in milling, while everything
within the power of those present
was done to check it.
Kntlrcly contrary to a report
whlch'fouud its way Into one of the
Portlsnd papers, the destruction ol
the mill, while of course hamper
log somewhat local building, will
not seriously affect construction ac
tivity in Ilcud. In addition to the
big supply of lumber saved, the
Pilot Butte company has arranged
with the Hlghtower-Smltu mill to
receive from the latter ample lum
ber to meet all local demands. It
is understood that the II. -S. com-'
pany has been most generous in
their willingness to offal any dilli
culty to Uend builders which might
arise from the loss of the mill, sup
plying the needs of the moment at
110 small sacrifice to their own
trade.
That Uend will be without a mill
but for a very brief period Is the
announcement made by the Pilot
liuttc Development Co. It is au
thoritatively stated that within 30
days another mill will be cutting
lumber on the site of the old. Def
inite milling plans, however, will
not be forthcoming until next week
and in the meantime ample supply
to meet the entire local demand is
assured,
A. M, Drake, at the head of the
Pilot liuttc Development Company,
Is the owner of the destroyed mill,
which he built six years ago
Immediately after the fire, Mr.
Drake, who Is In Pasadena, Cali
fornia, was notified by wire, and it
Is expected that he will return to
Uend by the end of the week. Dur
ing the jast month the mill hns
been operated under the direction
ofC. I. Hoell, a Portland mill
man, and extensive repairs and im
provements In its equipment
affected. Its daily cutting capacity
was about 30,000 feet. Many of
the force of mcu temporarily thrown
out of work have been employed
by the Ilcud Townsltc Company in
clearing up the streets and lots of
the townsitc additions and making
other Improvements.

While helping to save the lumber
in the yards of the burning mill
Saturday morning, licrt Powell was
"knocked out." The long run
from Uend, coupled with the heavy
trainingwork of prying loose the
big planks of the tramways and the
heat .and smoke, overcame the fire
fighter in the height of the excite
ment. He was quickly revived,
however, and after n rest showed
no ill effect from his experience.

Twenty Charter Members (let To

As a result of the preliminary
meeting held on Sunday by mem
bers of I. O. O. P., at a second

Lnut Sunday the Uend ball tram

aspirants to the Crook county pen

The victory was doubly welcome to
the local fans in that it evened up

first game of the season.
There couldn't have been a bet

foul by Uyrne from the grandstanril)
but from start to finish the home
team played good heady ball and
showed the effects of the practice!
they arc getting. Kulp, as usual,
came through with a classy article
of twirling and stick work, while
O'Donncll showed himself ull kinds
of a bedrock backstop ami on sev
eral occasions saved trouble by his
clever headwork. On first, Van
Matre played a great game, with
McRcynolds covering the third sack
in big league style.
Redmond looked dangerous in
the iuitial inning when a man was
just nipped at the plate by a recov
ery throw in Irom Welder; it was a
close decision at best, and Umpire
Turpln pulled down a lot of "kick
ing" by calling the man out, but
he proved himself a good official
by sticking to his decision. After
which, with another man on third,
Kulp retired the batter on strikes
The lust of the first brought two
tallcys to Uend, Welder making the
circuit after placing a pretty hit
through shortstop, stealing second
and teaching third ou McReynolds's
sacrifice. After which Kulp dished
a redhot two bagger along the third
base line and ambled home on Van
Moire's clean cut to tight field.
In the second McReynolds nabbed
a difficult one, saving what looked
like a two bagger. In the last of
the fourth the Renders again got
busy and rang up two more tallies
on the rivthl side of the score
board. Kulp walked, purloined
the second sack and reached third
when catcher Kraus tried to find
Van Matre's fooxler in front of the
plate and instead threw a peck of
dirt towards ' first. Then Hurris
sacrificed Kulp home and Van
Matre followed on an overthrow
from shortstop to first of Turpln's
grounder. The fifth saw two more
runs for Bend by McReynolds and
Kulp.
In tho first of the sixth Redmond
tried hard to get in on the scoring,
accumulating two tallys, the first
by Zumwalt ou Uurrls's muff of a
difficult fly. Whereupon Kulp
grinned, let himself out a little, and
fanned the last victim. Kraus, the
southpaw Redmond catcher, went
into the box after this, Zumwalt
putting on the mask.
In the seventh was made Bend's
seventh run, again by Kulp, who
seemed to have acquired the habit
of making the rounds of the bases.
His own hit, a grounder by Van
Matre, and a bungle of Turpln's
dustraiserto shortstop brought In
the linal run.
