ASTORIA, Or, Aug. 29.-Folest fires
are still raging in the vicinity of Oak
Point, about forty miles above this city.
on the Washington side. Thousands OF
dollars worth of the finest fir timber has
been destroyed, together with the big log
ging outfit of the Benson Lumber Com
pany. Already the flames have spread
over an area of nearly twenty square
miles, and consumed everything in their
path. Up to tonight the buildings OF
lie Roy Davidson we're the only others
destroyed since the destruction of the
Benson place. The latter contained the
largest logging plant on the river, and
comprised locomotives, donkey engines
and other labor saving appliances.
The wind is now in the southwest and
Oak Point, which was threatened last
night, is safe unless the wind again
changes. None of the canneries are con-
sidered in any danger, although fears were
entertained last night that the establish
rnents of William Hume and the Eureka
Packing Company might be destroyed.
1t is estimated that every square mile oil
land devastated contained over 10000, 600
feet of timber, entailing loss of at least
$3.50, 900. Tonight the fire is well back in
the tim ber and burning tiercely adjacent
to the West logging camp, whiche is in
danger. Ali the timber in the vicinity oi
the camp is destroyed, and it is impossible
to state where the confagration will end,
unless rain falls very soon.
