READY TO FILE ON HOMESTEADS Rush of Landseekers to the Siletz Reservation. A large number of people arrived in the city this afternoon from Blleta reser vation, on their way to the United States Land ' Ojfice i at Oregon City to file on land, which will be subject to entry, and there are nearly 200 people squatting on about one-half that many claims, ex pecting to be able to file on the land! One of the parly arriving in town today, J. H. Nice, said this morning: ., "Without doubt, the section of land In SileU, now "about subject to entry, con tains some of the best timber on the Coast, and for agricultural possibilities, I think there Is none better anywhere. One good feature in regard to the ruling of the officials at the land office Is the fact that all the filings must be homesteads. All the lend la : capable of making the finest of homes, and should 'not be per mitted to be gobbled up by people who would remain there just long enough to acquire title to the land and immediately dispose of it to some large' company that would allow It to remain untouched for years to come. SUctx Is in such proximity to all the business centers of this part of the state that the land should develop Into farms at once, not only from the standpoint of providing good homes for a vnst- number of people, but on account of the great commercial benefit that the set tlement and cultivation of that rich sec tion would be to the rest of the state." It is expected that all the land In the section will be taken in less than two days, as people have been, watching the affair for the past year or more. . 'ROUND TOWN, J. E.

Rowley, committed to the county jail yesterday afternoon pending his ex amination ror insanity, tried to butt his brains out against the steel cell. Not withstanding that hi hands were strap ped to hia body, ho succeeded in tearing off part of his clothing and suudenly be came a raving maniac. Jailer Di E. Jackson rushed to the dark cell from which terrific yells emanated, and when he opened the door Rowley was found lying on the floor' lii a pool of blood that poured from a severe scalp wound In the back of the head. The frenzied man had butted his head against the' Iron braces, and was about to repeat the battering ram charge when the jailer and trusties threw themselves upon him. He was dragged out into the corridor and W hands were incased In the heavy 'muff, and three men held him down in a chair, until the violence of the attack had; subsided. The incident' i.liftlia! special attention again to th..need of a padded cell for Insane patients;.. Thursday of this week a young man, " Otto Jchulze, made two desperate attempts to kill himself in the same cell, pending his committment to the asylum-. - Nop long ago an Inmate of the Insane roorietefally tore to pieces all the woo4ixtres and wrenched a water pipe that' fiung over his bed nearly double, flpcdlr.g the room with water, and altogether doing much damage. -The County Commissioners and SluTlff W. A. Storey now see the necessity of having a padued cell .made, and are con sidering the matter of cost. The ques tion will be determined In a few days, afteV the rush of other county business is disposed of. County Jailer P. D. Jackson said this mdirning that on an average of one in sane patient every two days is committed to the asylum from Multnomah County. C0SJLY FIRE Auxiliary Electric Power House Danuged Badly. The fire department had a very hard conflagration to subdue early this morn ing. An alarm from box 85 at 4:35 o'clock called the boys to the auxiliary power house of the Portland General Electric Ccmpany, which is situated in the ex treme northern limits of the city. The- building a galvanised iron struc ture, icovers about a quarter of a block and the power-house proper contains modern and expensive dynamos and en gines. Profiting by the large fire a few years ago, the company In rebuilding placed a thick firewall between the ma chinery and boiler-room. It waa well they did so, as this morning's fire would ljave undoubtedly destroyed the whole plant As It was, the damage was be tween $5000 and $7500, and might possibly be more. It Is impossible to estimate the loss at this time, owing to the de bris which has not been cleared away. No one can tell definitely how the fire Started. Steam is generated from saw dust and chips carried to the boiler. which are self-feeders, by a conveyor from a building about 60 feet away. This latter building la a sort of elevator and holds hundreds' of tons of fuel. In some way a spark reached the conveyor and set it afire. . Owing to the bad streets, railway tracks, etc., the fire department had great difficulty in reaching the scene of the fire. When engine No. 6 arrived a train backed right in front ot the Com pany and refused to budge. They were therefore compelled to drive around the obstruction. Then1 fighting a blind fire in sawdust is not an easy thing. . Mr. Goodo of the company said that the company's loss was fully covered by Insurance, and that there will be no In terruption In the service .as the. station is simply an, auxiliary one.
