NOM NATED S h ir A storia, Or , Aug 31. — A forest fire of im m ense extent raged tonight be tw een Oak P oint and E agle < liff, on the W ashington side of the Colum bia. Many ca ttle have burned to death, the num ber being estim ated a t 200. All kinds of Htiunals are diopping dead from the excessive beat. T he am ount of tim lier already de stroyed is estim ated at from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 feet. A ll of the build- lug» at Benson’s logging and lum ber in g cam p have gone up in flames. A w all of flame three m iles long, leaping to the tops of the highest trees, renders it imp>ssible to get <lir«*ct coiu- m unic.ition to the scene of the trouble. A m onth ago a fire broke out in the same d istric t, w hich, n o tw ith stan d in g the recent rains,*smolder«-d aud broke out afresh the other day. It is feared th a t m any lives have been lost, as escape has been p rac tic ally shut off. One m an who w atched the fire from a distance says he saw imm ense gre« u trees licked up by the flames as if they had bt»eu dry saplings. T his is the w orst blow th is com m u n ity has ever received aud it is doubtful w hether the principal !• ggeis w ill be able to recover from th eir losses. Benson's logging com pany is one of the largest in stitu tio n s of the kind on the Colum bia river. It owns acres cf property, tw o locomotives, three dt n- key engines, and a w *-ll-< quipped tra m way, w ith every m odern device f r h an d lin g the business. Sixty five m*n are empioj«rd in the camp. T onight fu rth e r advices shew th at the fir» U‘ w covers ten square m iles of valu .H e tim ber. Each square m il- is estim ated to c utalU l» tw«-eu 20.000,- (‘00 aud 30,000.000 feet of tim ber, and it is thought th a t the lo-s already in curred on the slum page alone is mure th an < iu,o »o. The sight of the b u rn ing tim ber is a grand one beyond de- s rip ti n. The noise f the flames, the p q ping i f the tim bers as they »u-cam b to the heat, the terrific looking clouds of fire and smoke, aud the show ers ■ f cinder- fallin g in all directions make a tru ly aw e-inspiring scene.

" T h e R epublican party is u nreserv edly fur sound money.
