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.

VS e, the Republicans of the state of

reaffirm and renew onr allegiance to
the principles of the R epublican party,
and indorse the declaration of princt*
¡des as expressed by the n ational con
vention held in St. Louis, Ju n e . 18V6.
‘‘We fu rth e r pledge onr earnest and
united support to the nom inees of the
Republican party for president and
vice-president of the U nited States,
W illiam M cKinley and G arre t A. Ho
b art
“ We indorse and commend the p ru
dent, wise and patrio tic conduct of
public affairs under the chief m agis
tracy of Hun. John H. M cGraw, and
denounce as false and m alicious the a t
tacks made upon our state ad m in istra
tion from motives of personal revenge,
and for partisan purposes.
"We reaffirm our confidence in the
ability, probity and efficiency of Sena
tor Jonn L. W ilson and Congressmen
\V lliiam H. D oolittle and S. C. Hyde.
“ We assert th a t the in juries to our
industries and the w rongs inflicted
upon our w age-eaniers, m iners, a r ti
sans and all laboring classes, and upon
our lum ber, coal and a g ric u ltu ra l in
terests are chiefly a ttrib u tab le to the
r» peal of the M cKinley law and the
abrogation of our natio n al prosperity
rests upon a ju st application of the
principles of a protective tariff.
" T h e R epublican party is u nreserv
edly fur sound money. It caused the
enactm ent uf the law providing for the
resum ption of specie paym ents in 167»;
since then every dollar haa been as
good »s gold. We are unalterably op
posed to every m easure calculated to
debase our currency or im pair the
credit of our country. We are. th e re
fore, opposed to the free coinage of
silver, except by in tern atio n al agree
m ent w ith the leading com m ercial n a
tions of the w orld, w hich we pledge
curselve« to prom ote, and n n b l such
agreem ent can be obtained, the ex ist
ing gold standard m ust be preserved.
A ll uur silver and paper currency m ust
be m aintained a t parity w ith gold, and
we favor a ll m easures designed to
m aintain inviolably the obligations of
the L m ted States, and all our money,
w hether oom or paper, at the present
standard of the most enlightened n a
tions of the earth.
“ We heartily approve the declara
tion of the R epublican national con
vention iu w hich it pledges the Repub
lican party to promote intern atio n al
.tgrer inent. and we hereby instru ct our
senator and representatives in congress
to earnestly co-operate w ith the a d m in
istratio n to th a t end. We believe thnt
the patrio tic citizens of th is nation
w ill never entru st its m onetary legisla
tion to any p aity under the leadership
of such men as B ryan, T illm an and
A ltgeld.
“ The R epublican party has alw ays
been m indful of its co u n try 's defend
ers, and therefore favors the policy of
ju st and liberal pensions.
“ We believe th a t taxation should be
no higher than is required for sufficient
revenue to defray the actu al necessary
expenses of the state; and we pledge
ourselves to the most economical a d
m inistration of public affairs consist
ent w ith th e ir business-like m anage
ment.
“ We em phatically dem and the e n
actm ent of such leg i'latio ii as w ill se
cure just and eqnitable freig h t rates to
the producers of the farm and a ll in
dustries of the state, aw arding justice
alike to the producer and the common
carrier.
" W e favor an appeal to the general
governm ent for an ad ditional donation
of two more sections of public land in
each tow nship to be surveyed, the pro-
ceeds from the sales thereof to be de
voted to the construction and m a in te n
ance of a system of public roads.
" W e recommend such legislation, or
am endm ent, to onr fundam ental law
as w ill enable ns to adopt the Torrens
system of registering land titles, a t as
early a day as the condition of our pub
lic finances may justify.
“ In view of the alarm in g increase
of contem pt for our co n stitu tio n al lib
erties and the grow ing disrespect for
our governm ent in «11 its branches, we
dem and the enactm ent of more s tr in
gent enfranchisem ent and im m igration
laws.
“ The principles set forth in the C h i
cago platform th a t it is not w ith in the
duty and province of the federal gov-
enrm ent, w henever aud w herever n ec
essary. to protect the lives and property
of all citizens, we denounce as revolu-
tionarv.
“ We reaffirm the doctrine of the
founders of our governm ent th a t the
safeguard of our liberties and onr in s ti
tutions rest upon its jud icial tribunals;
and we condemn as unpatriotic the im
putations of the D em ocratic aud Popu
