Oregon City, July 15.—Fire last night destroyed property of the Oregon I City manufacturing company valued at between «75,000 and 8100,OIK). The loss ia covered by insurance. Spontan eous combustion iu a caibonizer in the pullery building is given as the origin of the fire, which destroyed the wool room, dye room and boiler room o' the woolen mills. The company will im mediately replace the burned buildings, but the blaze will necessitate sus;>en- ■ion of mill operations for at least three months and the throwing out of em ployment for that period of about 800 people. The flame« were diecovered issuing from the roof ot the wool houee at P o’clopx but the builfling waa already dfXimed, and the adjoining frame structures were eoon ablaze. A general Are alarm was responded to by the fire department and citiaena, who fouhgt heroically. The main woolen mill building was on tire several times, but under the direction o' Fire Chief Ku- conich the structure was saved, al though the interior was damaged some what by water. Vigorous and timely action alone saved the proparty of the Portland flouring mills company. The large warehouse of thia company was aflame a number of times, but by brave work the building and adjoining mil) were saved. The warehouse of the O. R. A N. Co. narrowly escaped burning. With a stiff breexe from the north east, it is considered remaikable that the Portland flouring mills were not burned. The firemen did most effect ive work. Port Arthur, Manchuria, July 17.— The conference of prominent Russian officials has ended. Exultation over Kassia's increasing power in Man churia was the dominant note in the gathering. The possibility of taking any ha< kward step is scoffed at if men tioned by outsiders, f t was admitte I that the war possibility was disc'ssed, hut it was denied that was the object of the conference. Evidences of warlike preparations since the arrival of General Kuropat kin, the minister ot war, and of -.he in tention to bring more troops to Man churia are abundant. Orders were given tc Port Arthur contractors last week for an immediate supply of budd ing materials for building barracks to accommodate 20,000 soldiers to be shipped to Harbin. lire officials explained that Russia’s opposition to opening Manchurian towns to foreigners was not based upon opposition to foreigners, whose trade is desired and who would in due time be invited into the country.

Recent County Seat Election Shows Large Increase of Voters. The return, from the late special election indicates that the voting pop ulation of Columbia county has In creased several hundred since the gen eral state election held a little over a vear ago. While it is true that much of this increased vote is due to the employment of an increased number of hands in sawmills and logging '■amps, many of them single men. it also is evident that there is a consid ■rablc increase in the number of fam Illes which have become actual res idents. County School Superintendent Cope land has received complete returns from almost every school district in the county, and now estimates that there are 250 more children of schoo' age than were shown by the census of last year. Reports from every sec tion of the county indicate that new comers from the East are arriving, and the majority of them expect tc become permanent residents. Heavy Sales of Live Stock. The sale of sheep, cattle and horses from the Oregon ranges this fall will be the heaviest in years. This is the opinion of C. J. Millfs, who has charge of the stock department of the O. R. & N. He has been over a large por- tlon of the ranges and reports that feed will be scarce this fall. Large shipments of cattle were made from this district last spring and Mr. Millis expects that still larger shipments will be made this fall. He says a large amount ot stock will have to be sent out of the country In order to even up for the shortage of the feed crop. The shortage of feed in some parts is probably due to a lack of rain. Wool Prices are Climbing. Owing to the shortage of wool in Montana and Utah the prices of wool in Eastern Oregon will be higher than had been anticipated. At the large sale held at Ontario a short time ago wool sold at from 13 to 14 cents. Many did not sell and since that time some have sold at 15 cents. The prices are still going up. Some of the leading sheep and wool men say the range Is exceptionally short this sea son as there has been scarcely any rain since spring. Everything is dried up. There is lots of stock in the district, and ft is feared by the owners there will be large losses this year if a wet season does not start soon. To Build Big Fish Hatchery. PUBLIC LAND STILL OPEN.
