' ' 'Cannery Warehouse Dam age Set at $1005 Maxi- mum Fire Quickly Sup pressed Blame Children Tin which yesterday afuimoon tburned portion of the warehouse of til Rogue River valley canning com. 'pany on South Front street at 13th street and gutted the attic and rear end of the Mitchell D. Bchulta rcsl- dence at 530 South central avenue. caused damage amounting to leas than aaooo, It was estimated today. R.. U. Boutelle, manager of the canning concern, slated that loss to the warehouse would be between ttOO and S1000. The damage to the -residence would amount to about 4600. it was stated. A garage In the rear of the admits house was level ed, as . was a garage belonging to Elmer Ryan, located behind me Ryan home at 629 South Central ave nue. . It was in a woodshed back of the Bcbults residence that the fire origi nated, according to Chief Roy El liott, who added that children play ing there apparently started a small Jlamt, which quickly set the entire ahed afire, leaped across the alley to the canning company warehouse, and Ignited the Schult residence and two garagea. The roof and side walls of tbe cafeteria and women's dressing room, on the second floor ef the canning company, were blaz ing when the fire department ar rived, as were the roof and rear In terior of the Schulte residence. 'k,. Pumpers In Action. With two pumper ending water from five two and a half Inch hoses Into the blazing warehouse and resi dence, the fire was brought under control In about 30 minutes. Chief niloB directed the fight, which ran Into considerable difficulties on the Bchulta home due to tho construc tion of the house. Many volunteers helped remove furniture from the Bouaa, and little furniture loss was offered. f The two garages were beyond sav ing .when the fire department ar rived, so quickly did the flames spread, and the house and warehouse fire was well under way, Hose lines were laid In an amazingly short time, and firemen efficiently doused the blazes with a minimum of property .toes. A chemical crew call waa sound ed at 9:37 and a general alarm at 8:3S. The fire was completely out at 4:46. The woodshed fire was discovered by A. W. Lynch, canning company employe, who was making boxes In the warehouse. He ran to the offlco and told Boutelle, who Immediately turned In the alarm. On returning to tbe warehouse, Lynch discovered that the flames had spresd to walls and roof of the warehouse. Pears Not Damaged. Little damage was done the In terior of the warehouse, with the ' exception of a few jlug cratce that were ruined. The manager said to day that 600 cases of pears, which were stacked, ready for shipment to England, were undamaged. Firemen threw waterproof covering over all furniture and fixtures in the of fices, thereby saving them from water damage. Telephone poles In the alley be tween the wsrehouae and residence burned considerably. Paciflo Tele phone and Telegraph company was today erecting a pole In place of one that waa burned. . Firemen were handicapped In their -work by the huge crowd that sur rounded the burning buildings. Chief Kltott said today that boys on bicycles especially were troublesome In addition to being in great danger from the live wires that were hang ing close to the ground. He warned all persons to stay further back at fires In the future. Residents in tbe neighborhood saved other possible blazes by dous ing their house roofs with water from garden hoeea. 4 Livestock Portland. PORTLAND, July 30.

MALM'S Toiletries Main Floor LILY PONS' NAME STARTS CLERK ON AUTOGRAPH TRAIL Use Of Photographs Pasted In Book Are Found Use ful In Producing Signa tures Of Famed Persons, PITTSBURGH (UP) Edwin Row lands' admiration for Lily Pons, op era star, has started nlm on the way to fame If not 'fortune as , tbe world's premier autogrsph collector. Xt was on a cold winter night, February t, 1S36, that Rowlands, a bank clerk, got his first autograph, that of Miss Pons, 8lnce. that time. he has obtained the signatures of mors than 650 celebrltlea. Miss Pons was In Pittsburgh for a concert. Rowlands was puzzled over how to .meet her. He decided that an autograph collector would have as good a ensnce aa any. and went to work Immediately.. . On the way home from work,-Rowlands bought an Impressive . auto graph book. He pasted a good like ness of the opera star on the first page and went to the concert house. Ho slipped Into her dressing room while Miss Pons was on the stage. There was a burst of applause, ' then she appeared In the doorway, gazing wide-eyed at her unexpected visitor. Feared Possible Arrest . "For the first time that evening, I was scared," said Rowlands, who towers e feet 3l and weighs 190 pounds. "I began to wonder if she would have me arrested. I hastily Introduced myself, explained what I wanted, and apologized for being in her dressing room. "She emllcd then, and told me to bring the book over to her. When I opened the book she gave a cry of delight when she saw her picture pasted on the page." Rowlands' ambition Is to some dsy devote his entire time to collecting signatures of famous personsges. He has met personally every celebrity whose name is in one of bis three volumes. Rowlands looks with acorn upon the so-called profeselonal autograph collector who buya signatures from persons who actually obtained them and then re-sell for a profit. He has traveled 10.000 miles on trips to Hol lywood, Los Angeles. Pe'jm Springs, r., Cleveland and Washington to get hla autosraDhs first-hand.
