Gym And Storage Room Destroyed In Saturday Blaze Garage Burns, Fire of undetermined origin y enter, day afternoon destroyed the grains ium, woodshed and storage room of St. Mary's Academy on South Holly atrcet between Uth and 12 streets. The home of Sheriff Syd I, Brown across the street at 504 South Holly street was threatened when burning cinders lit on the roof. A hoae line, however, had already been run to the roof and the cinders were put out ae they tell. The firemen, assisted by 14 trained volunteers who answered the general alarm, put up & stiff battle to keep the flart s from the school Itself. They were aided by a favorable wind which was blowing away from the academy. Damage was estimated at well over 1.000. The loss was covered by Insur ance, , Apparently, Chief Roy Elliott said, the fire started 1 nthe storeroom and woodshed. When the alarm was sounded at 2 o'clock; the flames had Jumped across an alley to the gym nasium and both buildings were burning fiercely when the firemen ar rived. It took an hour and a half to put the fire out. An electric light pole at the curb was badly charred by the searing flames. . Electricians from the California Oregon Power company were on the scene to cut all wires so as to avert death by electrocution and the com pany was commended for Ite coopera tion by Chief Elliott. There was no electric wiring In the woodshed and storage room and so a short circuit could not have started the blaze, Chief Elliott said. He re lated that rubbish had been burned In a metal barrel near the building In the morning and doubted whether parks from It could have started the fire. Sister Superior of the academy said he had no idea what started the blase. She stated she had been un able as yet to calculate the actual damage and added that rebuilding Plana would not be considered for several days. She pralaed the firemen for their work In saving the soccl. A large crowd gathered to witness the fire. The two buildings were frame structures. It was the third serious fire of the week, the first general alarm blaze of the year. Garage Burns Fire destroyed a private garage and an automobile and damaged two houses late Friday afternoon. Quick action by the fire department saved the dwellings. Chief Elliott sold the fire was probably caused by a short circuit in an automobile parked In the garage. The fire started In the stucco gar age In the rear of the house at 116 Willamette avenue. The dwelling la owned by the Northwestern company of Portland and occupied by Mr, and Mra. Robert D. Herrlott. Mr. Herrlott was at home asleep at the time. He had parked the car In the garage about noon. The automobile was completely ruined and the garage gutted. The ste aling flames leaped to the Herrlott house and burned part of the roof and window trim. Damage to the house and garage waa estimated from 250 to M80 by W. E- Thomas, Med ford representative of the Northwestern company. He said the loss was fully covered by Insur ance. The fire Jumped to the adjacent house at 113 Willamette avenue, own ed and occupied by Ernest W. Winkle. The upper part of the southeast cor ner was burned, the flames burning through a window and damaging the Inside of one room. The darting was estimated by Mr, Winkle at 300. The toss, he said, was fully clvered by in surance. It was the second time the Winkle home had been damaged by fire. The precinct alarm was sounded at ft:30 and the recall at 4:10.
