SCIO OREGON
New York, June 1.—Seven freight
."■nd coal piers of the Delaware, ljtcka-
wanna & Western railroad in Jersey
City were destroyed today by a fire
that started on the barge Allen C.
Churchill, which lay alongside pier 12,
on which a lot of barrels cf oil were
stored. The loss is estimated at $1,-
000,000. The flames spread iapidly.
Pier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon
ablaze its entire length, and the fire
men who were trying to fight the fire
from the shore were able to accomplish
but little.
The flames swept ac.ioss to pier 11
and beyond, lieing finally checked at.
pier 5, which is a new coal trestle,
steel-framed and iron-clad. Here the
firemen and fireboats made a despeiate
stand and stayed the advance of the
fire until the burning piers crumbled
and fell into the water.
Although there was little wind,
sparks fell all along the water-front foi
nearly a mile, endangering the Lacka
wanna station and even the Hamburg-
American and Bremen line piers, where
the firemen were kept busy playing
streams of water upon the blaze and
over the ships at their docks.
A number of canal boats and several
tugs were burned, the loss of small
boats being variously estimated at from
30 to 200. The number of freight cars
is not known, but the lose on this class
of rolling stock will be heavy.
The
Lackawanna road moved its passenger
coaches out to the Meadows, and one
train of freight cars was moved out and
saved.
Piers 11 and 12 were full of general
merchandise; piers 7, 8, 9 and 10 were
used for coal and pier 6 was a grain
loading pier. No person was Beriously
injured.
Vice-President Loomis, of the Lacka
wanna, placed the total I obs by the fire
at $5,000,000, based on the original
cost of the piers burned, on the freight
stoied on them and to some extent the
loss of business which must necessarily
ensue. It also includes the burning of
the canal boats and barges thickly
moored between some of the piers.

own insurance.

Million and a Half Pounds Change Handl Douglas County la Pacified With a Cash
at Hrppner Sal«.
Bonus of $SOO.
Heppner—The first wool salesdav in
Heppner as ananged by the Oregon
Woolgrowers’ association resulted in
1,500,000 pounds of wool changing
hands, bringing to the growers a little
over $202,000. Thia is by far the larg
est sale ever made in a single day in
Heppner, and from every point of view
was very satisfactory. Previous condi
tions this year have been discouraging
to the sheepmen and the industry in
general, owing to the bad sheep mark
et, but these wool sales added so much
encouragement that there is a diffeient
feeling, not only among the growers
but in all lines of business, for the
sheep is a prominent factor in the bus
iness affairs of Morrow county.
For almost every lot of wool offered,
the growers received more than they
expected. The average price received
was about
cents per pound, which
is fully a cent better than received last
year, owing to a better quality of wool,
this being caused by the open winter
and favorable spring, causing slight
shrinkage and good staple. The early
grass caused sheep to take on flesh and
the fleeces were heavy, many flocks
averaging a pound more to the cheep
than last year. The advance in price
and the increased weight of the fleeces
has added thousands of dollars to the
pocketbooks of the prosperous sheep-
growers.
The sales will take out about half of
the wool which will lie handled in the
Heppner market. It is estimated that
about ] ,500,000 pounds yet remain in
the hands of the growers in this terri
tory. Other sak-sdays have been ar
ranged for June 8 and 23, to be held
here for the sale of this wool.
The sealed-bid method in which
salesdays are designated when a num
ber of growers and buyers can get to
gether, was inauguiated three yearB
ago. The bids of ths buyers are placed
in a bat, the highest offer taking the
clip, if the grower desires to accept it.
This method has been very successful,
there having been but very few private
sales.

Baker City—At a mass meeting of
citizens held here it was resolved to
organize a fair association for the pur

grounds for the Eastern Oregon District
Fair,.wjiicii will be held here this fall.
There was a large number of prominent
citizens present, and most of whom
signified their intention to subscribe
liberally for the stock of the associa

was a failure here because there was no
race track and no suitable buildings for
the accommodation of exhibits.

fall, and the local directors have been
working for some time with that end
in view. Douglas county at first ob
jected on the ground that they were
still in debt $2,000 on their grounds at
Roseburg, which they hoped to be able
to raise if they had the fair there.
At a meeting it was arranged that
the fair should come to Eugene this
year and that Douglas receive from
Lane county $500 bonus, and also that
two new directors will be chosen from
this part of the district to succeed those
from Douglas county, who soon retire.

Sheep Hurry In Early.
Japanese Paid Doarly tor Kinchou vic
tory-2,000 Russians Killed.
Tokio, May 31.—The Japanese casu
alties at Nan Shan are now estimated
at 3,500. The number of Russian guns
captured exceed 70.
White Japan paid heavily for her
victory she scored a sweeping and val
uable victroy over the Russians, in cap
turing 57 guns, clearing the way to
Port Arthur and inflicting losses on the
Russians, which, in the end, are ex
pected to total 2,000 men.
It is doubtful if the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten, and
they failed to rally at Nan Quan Ling,
where it was anticipated a second stand
would be made.
The desperate onslaughts of the Jap
anese on the heights of Nan Shan were
telling, fur the Russians left 300 dead
in the trenches there. A complete
search of the field is expected to show
a greater number of dead.
Nan Quan Ling was occupied yester
day morning by a force of infantry, ar
tillery and engineers under the com
mand of General Nakamura.
The
main Japanese force spent Friday night
billeted in the villages around Nan
Shan. The soldiers were greatly fa
tigued as a result of the constant fight
ing, but they entered with much spirit
upon the new operations.
A force fo Russians held San Chi Li
Pu station, which is northwest of Dal
ny, but the Japanese drove them out.
The Russians abandoned and burned
the station and retreated in the direc
tion of Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians engag
ed in the defense of Kinchou, Nan Shan
hill and the south shore of Talienwan
bay vary, but it is evident that the
Russians drew for men from the forces at
Port Arthur and offered all the resist
ance possible. It is understood here
that Lieutenant General Stoessel, com
mander of the military forces at Port
Arthur, was in personal command of
