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.

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.
