Attempts to make, out that the

Fifteen People Escape From Fire Jump
Into Subway Excavation.
New York, July 15.-Fifteen' persons
have been hurt by falling into [the SUBJ
way excavation at Lexon aveune and
One Hundred and Twenty-ffth street.
after jumping from a burning trolley
car, on which they had a thrilling ride
for several blocks, while the motorman
was making desperate attempts to reach
a fire engine house. The car was filed
with about 80 passengers, mostly women
and children. When they discovered
the fire many tried to jump, but the
motorman put on the full power. He
had not gone two blocks before the car
was enveloped in flames. "
The conductor saw that there was
danger of burning the whole carload of
passengers and rang the bell. The car
came to a stop right over the excava-
tions for the subway. The passengers
piled off on top of one.another. The
planking over the hole collapsed and
about 25 persons we're carried down.
Those on the bottom were severely
bruised, but only one was in a serious
condition. h

Wages and. Assessments.
In rummaging about his office few
days ago County Clerk Sleight un.
earthed some official records that con.
tain some interesting statistics with
reference to Clackamas county, in the
early SOS. They consist of some statis-
tics compiled by Joseph T. Meek, who
was then territorial marshal for Clack-
amas county in June, 1850. In that
year the assessable value of property
in this county was $1,020,344, classi-
fed as follows: Real estate, $780,
$50; personal, $183,694. The schedule
of wages paid at that time was re-
markable. The average monthly
wage to farm hands, including board,
was $50; the average wages paid day
laborers with board was 81, with
out board Sc; average daily wages
for carpenters, $12; board per week
for laboring men cost So.
There were published in the county
at that time two weekly papers, name
ly, Oregon Spectator, Territorial; and
Western Star, Multnomah. An idea
of the value and profit in the lumber
business at that early date may be
gathered from the statistics which
show that Benjamin Simpson from
400 logs, for which he paid So each,
manufactured 100000 feet of lumber,
which had salable value of $75 per
thousand.

Portland, July 15.-Robbing FREQ
Day, whom they mortally wounded
with a needless shot, taking $500 ir
money, watches anud ieweiry from 4(
passengers on Sellwood car, then rob-
bing lone pedestrian as they left the
scene, six desperate highwaymen last
night made their escape and now bid
defiance to the police.
On the crossing of the Southern Paci
fic at East Eleventh and Division
streets, but half mile from sthe busi-
ness center of East Portland, the hold
up was committed a few minutes before
midnight.
Daring and cold blooded, the high
waymen boarded an out bound car at
11:45, shot Fred Day in the back with
out provecatlon, and as he fell in their
arms apparently lifeless, held HIM up
until they could rife his pockets. then
let him drop in pool of his own blood
and turned their attention to the rest
of the passengers.
At least 40 people we're on the car,
and every passenger was robbed of
money and jewelry. Rings were jerked
violently from women's fingers, and
watches snatched quickly and thrust
into the pockets of the highwaymen.
Nor did this content them. Not
nervous in the least over their bloody
deed. they stopped in their fight long
enough to hold up and rob o. N. Bitt-
ner on Milwaukee street.

HAPPENINGS HERE In OREGON
Loo BOOM ON NORTH uMpouA.
Franchise Granted for Extensive Inn
provements by County Court.

Franchise Granted for Extensive Inn.
provements by County Court.
One of the most important steps
made in the development of the lum.
bering industry in Douglas county
| was taken when the county court
voted to grant a franchise to the Ore
gon Boom & Timber Company for
cleaning out the obstructions in the
North Umpqua river and preparing
that stream for the floating of logs
and timber. This franchise gives the
company the right to use that stream
in the manner mentioned from the
west boundary line of the Cascade for
est reserve to the main line of the
Southern Pacific railroad at Winches-
ter, five miles north of Roseburg. After
the improvements are made the COM
pany is given the right to collect a
maximum toll of SO cents per thousand
feet for floating logs for other persons
in compensation for the outlay in i'm
proving the stream. The estimated
cost of the improvements is $500, 900.
Besides improving the stream, the
company expects to erect a sawmill
of 100000 feet daily capacity at Win
chester, to be ready for use as soon
as logs can be fioated, and other par
ties also expect to erect sawmills and
woodworking plants at the same
place. New York capitalists are back
ing the enterprise, their representa-
tive. F. r. Blakely, having been here
most of the time for the past two
years.

wooLEN MILLS DESTROYED.
Fire at Oregon City Throws Three Hum
dred Out of Work.

Oregon City, July 15.-Fire last
night destroyed property of the Oregon
City manufacturing company valued at
between $75, 600 and 100000. The
loss is covered by insurance. Spontan-
pullery building is given as the origin
of the fire, which destroyed the wool
room, dye room and boiler room of the
wooden mills. The company will inn
mediately replace the burned buildings,
but the blaze will necessitate suspen-
sion o. mill operations for at least three
months and the throwing out of en-
ployment for that period of about 800
people.
The flames were discovered issuing
from the roof of the wool house at y
doomed, and the adjoining frame
structures were soon ablaze. A general
FIRE alarm was responded to by the fire
department and citizens, who fouhgt
heroicalIy. The main wooden mill
building was on FIRE several times, but
under the direction OF Fire Chief Ru.
conich the structure was saved, al.
though the interior was damaged some
what by water.
Vigorous and timely action alone
saved the property of the Portland
Touring mills company. The large
warehouse of this company was aflame
number of times, but by brave work
the building and adjoining ,nill were
saved. The warehouse of the 0. R. &
N. Co. narrowly escaped burning.
With stiff breeze from the north
east, it is considered remai kable that
the Portland Touring mills were not
burned. The fremen did most effect
i've work.
