MAHSHFIELD, Ore., Sept 30. ffl Heat, smoke, red eyes and raw throats, grim faces of people who stand to lose' the -work . of their lifetimes on nothing more than a change.. of the wind; blackened ruins, blackened bodies of people who lost their all and their Uvea as well that Is south western Oregon. Pamphlets will tell you that It Is the beauty spot of America a great region of virgin timber, possessing no small part of those forest resources which combine to give Oregon and Washington , most . of the nation's standing timber but today thero Is no beauty In this part of the coast. Bandon Only Part. Most of it Is bidden by bo many fires that no one knows how many are burning or Just where or what dam age they have done. The $1,500,000 damage estimated in the destruction of Bandon, aeacoast town of 1S00. with a loss of nine to possibly 15 Uvea, la only a part of tho atory of the sacrifice to fixe. Thousands of acres In the 400,000 acre region In which the fires are centered have gone up In smoke. The akles Bre so blackened that around Coqullle and Myrtle Point only your watch can tell you whether It la day or night. Automobiles creep- along the roads, the vision of drivers lim ited to a block at most and In some places 50 to ICO feet la as far as you can see. I drove through the worst of the area Myrtle Point, Coqullle. Bandon. Marshfleld. When I reached Bandon the skies were clearing the smoke was drifting away. It was like de livery to heaven to get out of the amoke. Ran Fire launtlet. - Along the way I ran the gauntlet of flrea which crackled along the roadsides. Tlia &moko wan bad, the beat terrific In places and I won dered more than anything else whether my gasoline tank might ex plode. It didn't. Svery once In a while, when you can't stand It any longer, you stop and rub your eyea In a futile attempt to relieve them. And then the'heat makes you drive on again. Nobody talks much talk seems rather Idle the danger Is so appar ent and 'It la ao apparent, too, that It la all up to fate and that wind it we get' no wind we are all right li we get a wind,-1, and probablj a lot of other people, are heading directly for the Paclflo ocean. All Over In Bandon. The contrast between Bnndon and Coqullle Is so sharp as to startle one. Jt la all over In Bandon. Tho town la gone. There la nothing more to bum. So nobody la worried on that score, although a lot of people would like to know "what now?" But In Coqullle, and Myrtle Point, it la like a player putting It all on the last card tf there Is no wind, the homes that 4.500 people have apest a lifetime putting together are all right. If there la a wind, it will be like a state policeman remarked: "God h.e!p 'em I" Nothing seems so apt now as that old aaylng of Mark Twaln'a ' about everyone talking about the weather but nobody doing anything about It people here would give a lot It they could even tell what It was going to do In the next few days before these flrea die out of the trectops. tap.

(Associated Press Photo) TURES GIVE CLEAR PLEDGE OF Speaking Sunday night from the Nazarene pulpit, In the beginning of a series of messages on the second coming of Christ, Fred M. Weather ford, pastor-evangelist, said: "There have been so many wild theories ad vanced with reference to the second vanced with reference to the fact of His return to my mind, has been clouded. "A truth so prominently featured In the New Testament aa tho BBcond advent of Christ must be given duo place In our thinking and ministry. Such Bcrlptures as these cannot ba discredited: Titus 3:13. 'Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious Appearing of the preat God and our Sflvlour Jcus Christ. "Again, the Inspired Apostle Paul. In addressing the salute at Colossa, said In Col. 3:4, 'When Christ, who Is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him In glory. Acts 1:11, 'This same Jesus, which Is taken up from you Into heaven, shall so come In like manner as ye have soen Him go Into heaven. First The.. 4:16-17, 'The Lord himself shall de scend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with tho trump of God; and tho dead In Christ shall rlsu first; then we which are alive aud reinuln shall be caught up together with them In the clouds, to meet the Lord In the air, so shall we ever be with the Lord. "The catching away of the Bride of Christ (the saints) la Inseparable to the resurrection of the saints. In this association the resurrection la spoken of more than forty times In the New Testament. "It is clearly understood by all Bible students that the resurrection of the saints Is the first In a cate gory of two resurrections, the latter of which will be Incident to the final Judgment of the wicked. Rev. 2G. 'Blessed and holy is he that hath part In the first resurrection." "Tho second coming of Christ nd the rapture will be sudden. Christ's own words In tHe last chapter of the last book In the Bible are: 'Surely 1 come quickly.' Though sudden nnd unannounced. His coming will be given universal publicity, 'for as tlie lightning cometh out or the oast, and shineth even, unto the west; oo shall the coming of the Pou of Man be.

FEEDS OF ALL KINDS MARSnriWT.D. Sept. 39 (jp) The terrors and tragedies of fire are not new to the city of Bandon. Bandon, now a scene of smolder ing ruin, saw three blocks oJ It bual nesa district destroyed on June 11. 1914. The fire broke out In a res taurant adjoining the old Ha&mus&en saloon, raged all night and the fol lowing day aud then finally burned Itself out. Djnanilte l'eil. M. J. McKenna of Marshfleld, secretary-treasurer of the Moore Lum ber company of Bandon during the first fire, said the dynamiting of a store saved the town from fatal de struction. The last building along the line of fire was located on the site of the Weatland hotel, whlcn was turned to ashes Saturday night. Residents recall the heroism ol Ted Pettersen, laundry operator here and at North Bend. Pettersen and J. T. Sullivan, a Marshfleld Insur ance agent, fought desperately to save the men's furnishing store op erated by Sullivan at Bandon in 1014. The fire of more than JO years ago waa tragic enough, but It had none of the horrors of this new con f la gratton. No Uvea were lost and no persons were Injured. Homes on the bluff were out of the path of the 1914 fire. Twice I-owr, McKKenna recalled that the first fire burned his furniture and house hold goods. They were btored down town while the lumberman and his family were on a trip east. The loss was duplicated Saturday night when McKenna's Bandon home was de stroyed along with other residences. The Hartman theater burned Sat urday was also destroyed In 1914. The buslnes sdistrlct waa an easy prey to the first fire. The town was buUt on pilings and the flames spread quickly from the saloon ana swept under the docks of tho Easter brooke lumber yard and destroyed the shipping office.
