FOREST FIRES.

Portland. Oregon, Sept. l3.-With
unabated fury forest fires continue to
rage throughout the northern part of
Oregon and now are attacking portions of
Washington and British Columbia.
Communications with many places are
cut off and transportation facilities are
seriously impaired. Euumenclaw, sou n
of Seattle, is in imminent danger OF DC
ing destroyed. Hundreds of men are
fighting the flames night and day In
what seems to be a useless effort to save
the place. Many bridges have been de-
stroyed. Springwater, in this State, is
a heavy sufferer, three score people hay
ing been rendered homeless by the
flames. A church, the postofIice, sew
eral stores, and grange halls, in addi-
ton to a number of dwellings have been
burned at that place. Valuable timber
belts in many sections have been wiped
out and hundreds of cattle, hogs, and
sheep have been cremated. At Victoria,
b. c.. great bush fires and ashes are
falling in the streets. Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle, and many smalie'
cities, are wrapped in pail OF smoke
seriously hindering business operations
No loss of life has been reported but it is
feared that when communication Is re-
stored, news of more than one fatality
will be received.
Later advices from Elma, says port
ton of the city has been destroyed and
that two lives were lost. The losses
already amount to several million dol
lars. Shipping is at a standstill at
nearly every Oregon port.

The PAPERS today contain accounts
of two more automobile accidents, in one
of which the aged wife of Senator
Stewart was killed outright. The other
occurred in Baltimore where several per
sons were more or less hurt. The ter
rible accident to one of these modern
means of conveyance in France several
weeks ago by which Mr.. and Mrs. Fair
were killed is still fresh in the minds OF
people on both sides of the Atlantic,
and the killing of Mrs Stewart and the
collision of automobiles and the conse-
quent result in Baltimore should cause
people who persist in tempting Provi-
dence to pause in their thoughtless acts.
There are many contingencies by which
accidents may occur to automobiles, and
none should manifest such temerity as
places them beyond control.

Judge Cochran attached his signature
to a temporary injunction against the

sions to the striking miners in West

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10. 1902

Mr.. MITCHELL made a speech In
Philadelphia last night to an audience
of workingmen. In the course OF his
harangue he denounced compulsory
arbitration and said such course would
ensave workingmen. He also SAID,
as might have been expected, that he
disagreed with Governor Stone regarding
remedy for the present crisis. vi
course he will object to any settlement
of the miners troubles which does not
leave the kew of the situation in his
hands. This is what he is conterding
for. and sooner or later the bull must
he taken bv the horns when Mitchellism
and law and order will be pitted against
each other. 1t remains TO be seen when
will survive the ordeal. The entire
summer has been consumed in fruitless
conferences with this self-consttuted
car. who has no idea of submitting his
claims to any arbitration calcula'eo "
bring senseless struggle TO an end
which will result in placing him where ne
belongs-into total eclipse. Mitchell $
talk about arbitration enslaving working
men is ridiculous when the situation Is
viewed in its proper light. lie has
for some time previous to the strike
been urging the anthracite coal miners
to place his yoke upon their shoulders
and make him their leader. In a
thoughtless moment they became victims
of his persuasions, and are now the
basest of slaves wearing the collar OF
man despotic and exacting and one
whose sole ambition is power at the ex-
pense of people who had been honestly
and industriously earning their living "a
manual labor in accordance with the
laws of God and man.
