GRANTS PASS AGAIN
The Fire Sweeps Business, Residence, Railroad and Church
Property-Loss
On Monday at tho noon hour, when
the groat majority of the people of
Grants Pubs were quietly enjoying
their mid-day meal, the fire alarm
sounded its warning for what proved
to be one of the most Bousat ioual con-
flagratious that Grants Pass has yet
experienced. Our city has quite a
history in the matter of fires and this
last one, following so closely after the
great fire that destroyed our lumber
yard and factories and a number of
houses, will stamp Grants Pass as be
ing peculiarly unfortunate in this re
gard.
Throughout the day a steady and
sweeping wind had been blowing from
tho southwest, blowing with far
more vigor - and persistency than
southern Oregouiaus are accustomed to
experience, filling the air with dust
and debris. Tho nature of the duy
suggested a disastrous conflagration
and the thought caused anxiety in
many minds so that the remark that
it was a good day for a fire was
frequently heard,.
The firo started in tho old Hotel
Delmouieo, an old wooden building ou
Front street near Gilbert creek.
Immediately next to it on tho west
was the brewery and residence of
Eugene Kicnlcn. Those quickly
caught fire nnd burned to the ground.
The fire from the Delmouieo, swept
by the wind which blew diagonally

across the street, was quickly driven
along the row of wooden buildings
which lined lower Front street
These buildings were occupied main
ly by the smaller business firms of
our city. The fire nindo a clean sweep
of these until it reached tho socon d
hand store of Ike M. Davis, aud
seriously threatened tho whole of
Front street, but by herculean efforts,
the fire was finally cheeked nnd
brought under control at tho point
mimed. The flames from tho burning
buildings wero driven almost hori
zontally by tho wind nnd rendered
any effort niado in front of the fire
almost useless. Flying cinders were
blown across the railroad park and
tracks and quickly Ignited the wood
piles of the S. P. Co., at tho west end
of the railroad .yards. Tho machine
shop also caught fire from tho cinders
and was goon blazing furiously. Tho
round house roof soon caught firo
from the machine shops, and though
heroic efforts wero nindo to save it by
tho railroad employes, they were un
availing and the building was soon
adding a fearful contribution of heat
and flanin to the general conflagration
Tho block directly in front of tho
blazing buildings mid wood piles of
tho S. P. Co. was fortunately almost
viieatit, ooenpied only by tho dwelling
of Wm. Lcmpko nnd this was situated
on tho further side of tho block.
This vacant spneo broko tho sway of
the fire in tho direct inu of tho Presby
terian church and the homes beyond.
Tho open simco was covered with
dry grass, across which the fire swept
with nlarming rapidity, but vigilant
watchers hero fought tho flames in
tho old fashioned style with wet bed
quilts and sacks unit kept it under
' m.lnJ Af tl.iu ut, ,.f 11, u nnn.
flagration, hose nnd hydrants were
almost useless as. tho pressure was in
sufiiciout to force the water more
than a few feet from tho nozzles and
this fact was discouraging in tho
extremo to the workers as it seemed
to render their efforts futile, while
tllf wind was blowing more fiercely
than ever, sending blazing cinders far
ahead in the path of the flame, ignit
ing tho dry grass in scores of places
and threatening destruction to the
whole northeastern quarter of the
city. ,
Diagonally across tho street from
the. railroad building and directly in
the swoop of tho wind, were the resi
dences of A. Lenipko, L. A. Hcbcrlio
and tho Kutsehelis residence, occu
pied by H. O. Smith. These quickly
took lire and were consumed, tho oc
cupants saving a small portion only
of their household property. R. O.
McCroskey 's residence on E street was
the next to burn. The dwelling of M.
Clemens, by the side of McCroskey 'i
wub saved in tho face of apparent im
possibility by hanging wet carpets on
the side next tho firo ami keeping
them wet down. A whole row of
dwellings ou the north sido of E street
between Fourth and Fifth was saved
by unremitting effort. Tho Ualvin
residence owes its exoao to the thick
vines which cover its front.
Tho lire next attacked tho block on
the north sido of K street between
Fifth and Sixth. Hotel Josephine is
situated on tho southeast corner of
this block. A dwelling on tho cor
ner of E and Fifth, belonging to Mrs.
A. Yerkn, was burned and "The
Colonial," a handsome brick building
lately completed and owned by Mrs.
W. J. Rogers took tiro and in a short
time only tho walls wero left stand
ing. The Josephine was saved by
intelligent nnd vigorous work. This
was the limit of the burned area, the
fire having been brought under control
at all jsiinls with one exception, the
Kaptist church. To hum this edifice,
the fire lcas-d across two blocks of
untouched wood"U buildings. Flying
cinders caught high up on the church
roof, a stnillblaz i was started, tho
flames crept downward nnd the build
ing was consumed. The most heroic
effort on tint part of a few niemlwrs
of the fire department kept tho flames
from spreading to the adjacent build
ings. Estimated losses are as follows;
Southern Pacific R. It. Co. $5,000;
covered by insurance.
Baptist Church, $'1500; insurance

The confectionery store of Mr.
Wood adjoining the Jiurth-tt building
and the restaurant cf A. VanN'oy in
the Niday building are also among the
losses. J. I). Booth's building, oc
cupied by L M. Davis, was badly
damaged by ly nam i to and B. A. Will
iams building at the comer of Front
and Fourth streets wa pulled down.
The fire waa cheeked before it reach
ed litest) buildings.
Tho damage iii moving, loss and
breakage cannot be estimated and an
estimate of $40,000 as the loss is a
fairly conservative one. The streets
wero Uttered with household goods of
all kinds aud by order of the mayor,
tho militia boys were called out for
their protection.
The Ash laud fire department ar
rived by special train just about, the
time the flames were brought under
control. Though their coming was
unnecessary, yet the spirit which
brought them hero is appreciated and
they have the thanks of our people,
just as though they had saved the
town.
There were many instances of heroic
action. Among those who deserve
especial mentiou for nervy and effec
tive work are Henry Walter, Dick
Graham, Ed Gray, Claudo Williams,
Harry Marsh, Howard Mitchell,
aud Geo. Hart man. There are
many others, but these distill
guished themselves at two import
ant points; the checking of tho fire on
Front street and at tho Baptist
church.
In regard to the failure of tho water
at the critical time, Mr. Clarke, of the
water company, says that there was
plenty of water in tho reservoir dur
ing tho whole time, hut that so many
hyrdauts wero open that there was
no pressure at any point. Tho sup
ply was furnished by a six inch main
and when it was wide open at every
point there was uo pressure.
Many small fires started and were
extinguished all through the north
eastern portion of tho town. Bits
of blazing shiuglo were carried by the
wind almost a mile abend of tho fire.
Tho court house caught ou firo but
tho blazo was quickly extinguished.
The militia boys guarded tho firo aud
property all night. About three
o'clock in tho morning, a smrk from
the b uruiug woodpiles started a fire
iu tho grass near Wm. Lcmpko's resi
dence and would probably have caused
serious firo had not a squad liecn
promptly on hand to extinguish it.

FAITHFULNESS.
Faithfulness in the humblest part
Is better at leust than proud
success ;
And Jiatieucu nnd lovo iu a chastened
heart
Aro jieurls moro Jirecious than
happiness :
And in tho morning when we shall
awako
To the springtime freshness of
youth again.
All troubles will seem but a flying
flake,
And life-long sorrow n breath ou
the jiauo.
WHY SHOULD I ABSTAIN?
Because all alcuholio liquou con
tain a poisduoiis clement calculated
to derango tho human system, aud
are not essential as articles of food.
Because the liquor habit is the di
rect or indirect cause of crime, and
produces poverty, lunacy and death.
license many millions of dollars aro
annually sjK'Ut fur intoxicants, which,
if used iu legitimate channels, would
afford tho necessities of life, comfort
and eveu luxury to niuuy lives,
BeeauHo many millions of bushels
of good grain and fruit givon us of
God for food are perverted from this
use and applied to tho manufacture
of alcoholic drinks.
Becauso a vast amount of time
labor uud capital aru wasted njiou
their manufacture, sale anil con
sumption. Because iiitemjieraiico imperils the
soul
Becauso it hinders the Jinigress of
civilization, reformation, education
and religion.
Because total abstinence acts as a
preservative for thu nufullen and if
is-rsevorod iu must irove a remedy for
drunkenness.
Bccasuo my examjilo of total absti
nence will euahlo mu to more effect
ually aid tho drunkard and warn the
moderate drinker.
Becauso drinking moderately is
dangerous, and total abstineuco is
the only safe way.
Beau. so total .abstinence is essential
to tho highest moral and physical
development.
Becauso It Is Scriptural doctrine.
Because it is a Christian's duty to
exercise self-denial when thereby the
welfare, salvation and liajijiiness of
our fellow -men may bo promoted.
To tho many inquirers as to what
the "" is wo will give the answer
given by tho union.
It is tlio young jK'ojile's branch of
tho Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
This department aims to enlist the
young men and the young women and
to establish them in temperance prin
ciple. Its object is to forward the
cause of total abstinence by au organ
ised movement among the young peojilu
who aru In a largo measure the social
leaders; to establish an equal stand
ard of purity for Isjtli young men and
young women, aud to thoroughly rouso
the young Js'Oplo of this century, that
they umy become trained workers In
the temjs'ranee cause.
This jwrticular " Y" has taken
Gospel rarity for Its special work, and
there aro two branches : White Cross
for young men aud White Shield for
young women, each member to be over
14 years of age. These aim to lift
the staudard of purity iu every com
munity and to establish an equal
staudurd of morality for both men
aud women.
If it is a clean and pure thing for
a man to chew or smoke, or nse slang
or to swear, it is clean aud pure for
Women, too.
If it is not-We 11?
Owing to the burning of the Bajitist
Church tho business meeting of the
" Y"had to be jiostjioiied uutil Mou
day, July 21, when it will be held at
the Christian Churclu Let every one
of the members be jireseut, promptly '
