FOREST FIRES AGAIN.
Hills AbIaze Near smoke in
the Oiympics.


Portland, Oct. fS-For he past two
days and nights fires have been raging
along the sides and summit OF the hills
west OF this city. The fires are within
the city limits. and. owing TO the altitude,
can be seen at night from any part OF
Portland. and are visible TO the great
stretch OF country east or the Willamette
river. Al Night the scene is very brilliant.
The fiery belt extends fully half 4 mile,
covering the side and summit of the
wooded hill The bright flashing flames
illuminate tna whole western heavens
and the roar and cracking of the fire
can be distinctly heard in the city. No
buildings have been destroyed yet, but
the destruction to timber is great The
long dry spell has reduced the foliage TO
a tinderlike state, which feeds the flames
and aids their rapid spread. IL IS feared
that serious damage to property may re-
suit from these fires.
A dispatch from la Camas. Wash.
states that brush fires menace some OF
fire was sounded and almost every man
in La Camas turned out. All OF the
threatened places were saved, except a
vacant house. which burned
North OF Vancouver. Wash. forest fires
are burning fvTceiy in several portions OF
Clarke county. No damage other than the
destruction Of fences and one OK TWO small
buildings has - far resulted.
Port Townsend. Oct. is-An active volca-
no Is supposed 70 De In a state OF eruption
IN the olympic mountains south OF this
city. Crossing the straits from Victoria.
Prof. Alexander. OF the Smithsonian Inst
tuition, observed the phenomena through
marine glasses. and is positive that the
smoke and steam he saw came from a vol
cano. He has Just arrived from the Aleu-
tian Islands. where there are four or five
volcanoes in eruption, and he says the
smoke ascending from the Olympic mount
aims is in precisely the same manner as
that frcm the Alaskan volcanoes. Last
year several persons reported seeing the
same phenomena on two or three occasions.
but later the beef became general that
the smoke enlanated from forest fires.
Prof. Alexander says ne IS familiar with
the sight of smoke from camp or forest
fires. and he VOWS the smoke he saw as
candiug from the Olympic mountains is Of
the same character as volcano smoke and
steam That portion OF the Olympic mount
aims has never been explored. For severa,
days thick clouds have obscured the
mounta ms from view, and IL Is impossible
10 verify Prot. Alexander's observations.

The rain Thursday afternoon and

bration of the Fourth of July in Will

however, and the greater portion of the
population had good time The fun
commenced Wednesday night, and the
noise continued until late hour Thurs
day. The rain interfered most with
the pyrotechnic displays which were
planned for the evening. Some people
were undaunled and put of fireworks
in the ram, but as a general thing the
citizens kept under cover, and as a re.
suit many Wilmingtonians had a good
supply Of fireworks on hand.
Dealers in pyrotechnics did good
business during the last few DAYS, the
amount Of sales being undoubtedly in
advance of previous years. Some OF
the crackers were very dangerous, and
timid people were afraid TO handle
them. There were several minor acci-
dents during the day, but no fatalities
occurred.
That the people of Wilmington are
patriotic was demonstrated by the
numerous flags which which were
fl1ated from private and public build
ings. The rain made the sorry spectacle
of some flags that were left out during
| the storm.
