FOREST FIRES

Burning With Increased
fury.
a GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY
Many People Barely Escape with Their
Lives Solid Wall OF Fire Three
Miles Long-Catilc Die
From Heat

A special 20 the Astorian this after
noon from Oak Point numbering sta
,ion half way between this station and
Knlama, says:
"One Of the most terrific forest fires
ever seen In this section Is now raging
at Bcnsons camp ana In that neigh
borhcod. 4 wall of flame three miles
long and lcaplng 10 the tops Of the
highest trees. renders II impossible to
get direct communication from here 70
the scene OF the trouble. a month ago
a heavy fire broke out In the same dis
trict. which. Notwithstanding the re-
cent rains. smouldered on and broke
out afresh the other day. II is feared
that many lives have been lost, and
that Benson's entire logging camp has
been destroyed. which win mean To
him total ruin. Those who are az the
camp and beyond the line Of fire can
only find safety. providing they have
not already succumbed. by making
new trail 20 the Columbia river and
taking to boats II Is so hot that even
cattle dropped dead some distance from
the line OF FIRE from the effects Of the
intense heat All Of the buildings at
the various logging camps have been
destroyed and even sofae In the village
Campers have made strenuous efforts
10 get their things out o. the cabins,
and some effects have been removed
from n few buildings. but there Is 1T
tie prospect Of saving anything, as they
canno, get out this way at all. The
ordinary trails are SO covered by smoke
and cinders. and the heat Is so great
that no one can pass along them, one
man who watched the ire from a dis
tance. says that he saw immense green
trees licked up by the flames as II
they had been dry saplIngs.
This is the worst blow this COM
munity has ever received, and 1t is
doubtful whether the principal loggers
viii be able TO recover from their
losses. When and where the fire will
stop II Is hard to conjecture. as at
the present writing it is still burning
furiously."
II p. m.-Benson's Logging Company
is one Of the largest institutions Of
the kind on the Columbia river 1t
owns acres Of property, two locomo-
tives, three donkey engines, and a well
equipped tramway with every modern
advice for handling the business Six
ty-dve men are employed in the camp.
Tonight further advices show that the
fire now covers ten square miles Of
valuable timber, Each square mile is
estimated to contain between twenty
and thirty million feet of timber. and
IL is thought that the loss already in
CURED on the stumpage alone is more
than forty thousand dollars. The sight
OF the burning timber is a grand one,
beyond description. The noise Of the
flames, the popping Of the timbers as
they succumb to the heat. the terrific
looking clouds of fire and smoke, and
the showers of cinders falling in all
directions, make truly awe-inspiring
scene.

REQUIRED BUT
FOUR ROUNDS
For ChOynski to Convince NcAuliffe
That He Is the Better
Man.
MISSION GIANT nor IN IT
McAuilffe 3 eighed s. Pounds More
than His Antagonist, but the Lat
ter Bested Him Easily-Many
Spectators

San Francisco. August 2s.-BIg Joe
McAullfre was knocked out in the
fourth round tonight by Joe Choynski
before the Occidental Club. Three fights
were billed, but the one between the
big men was the attraction that drew
5000 enthusiastic sports to the pavilion
at woodward's Gardens.
This event was an eight-round "go"
between Joe Choynsh and Joe McAu-
life. the Mission giant" McAullffe
has been on the retired list for two
or three years He began training for
the present contest Weighing 2s5 pounds
and entered the ring tonight at about
225 to 230 pounds. The men presented
great contrast, as they shook hands
for the first round. McAullffe lowered
nearly four inches above his antagonist,
with an advantage Of three inches in
reach. His appearance indicated that
he had reduced his weight at the ex-
pence Of his strength and endurance.
Choynski, on the contrary. looked the
picture OF health. He entered the ring
at about 10 pounds.
Choynsh assumed the aggressive
from the start, and hit McAuliffe when
and where he pleased. The Mission
giant was completely outmatched and
was a plaything in Choynskrs hands
Little Joe played on big Joe's wind
with his left and on the jaw with his
right and when the giant came up for
the fourth round he was perceptibly
winded
In this round Choynski went at his
man like demon. First a poke in the
stomach with his left and jab in the
face with his right soon made Nc
Auliffe groggy. Finally. in the middle
of the round, Choynsh swung his right
with terrific force It landed on Nc
Aullffe's jaw and the fight was over.
The giants legs weakened and he fell
to the floor with a crash. He could not
get up within the required ten seconds
and the fight was awarded TO Choynski.
The latter was unpublished and was in
good condition when the fight ended.
His clumsy antagonist managed to land
on Choynskfs face once or twice, and
sent his head back, but that did not
keep the smaller man from going at
him relentlessly,

THOSE RAILS.

Trouble has arisen over the discharg-
ing Of the cargo Of rails from the Brit
ish ship Chelmsford now lying at Fla
vel, and the town Of Astoria is agi-
tated.
1t appears that Manager Koehler, Of
the Southern Pacific ordered the sus-
pension of the delivery of the cargo,
and now the Astorians are wondering
II the Southern Pacific is to be their
railroad master, II not, what option
did Mr., Koehler have in interfering
with the Chelmsford's cargo?
An answer was made that Mr.. Ham
mond had not as yet paid the duty
of $500 due on the rails, but instead
intended plling the iron in bonded
yard. This, however, is contradicted by
the showing of the Astoria CUSTOM
house that Hammond had paid to the
government the duty charged.
1t now appears that Mr., Koehler had
considerable more use for the rails
along the line of his rotad than was to
be found in the building of the Astoria
Goble line. and therefore he ordered the
rails sent south.
There seems a queer proposition yet
unsolved with Astoria's railroad con-
nection.
The above, taken from the Portland
Evening Telegram is in most respects
a gross Misrepresentation of facts. Up
on investigation of the matter yester-
day an Astorian representative learned
that the stoppage of work was made
upon direct orders Of United States Gus
toms officers, and that the discharging
of the steel rails commenced again
yesterday upon orders from that de-
partment, Two hundred tons were yes
terday taken from the Chelmsford.

events of the season. Every man in

THE BANK ROBBERS.
Becker and Creegan Sentenced to Life
Imprisonment.


san Francisco, August 2S.-Carl Beck
er and James Creegaa, the Nevada
Bank forgers. were today sentenced to
life Imprisonment by Judge wallase.
Becker. Creegan and A. H. Dean con-
cocted a scheme to rob the Nevada
Bank They raised a draft drawn
through the Bank Of Woodland from
So to $4,000. Dean cashed the check
at the Nevada Bank. where he had a
deposit, claiming to be a broker. The
men got away with the money, but
Dean was traced to the East and cap
tured. The three forgers had agreed
to help each other out If one were
captured, but Becker and Creegan re-
fused to aid Dean and lef. him to his
fate. In revenge Dean disclosed the
conspiracy to the police and gave them
the information that resulted in the ar
rest of Becker and Creegan. Joseph
McCloskey was tried for completely in
the crime, but was acquitted. Dean
has not yet been tried. but will prob
ably be leniently treated.
