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.

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.
