Midnight Fire at Thirteenth
and Ferry Streets Des>
trOyS two Buildings

The house and barn of William
Wright, at Thirteenth and Ferry
streets, were destroyed by fire at
midnight last night.
The barn was filled with hay and
other combustibles, and made big
blaze. The burning buildings were
in close proximity to the Thomas
Kay wooden mills and the soap fac
tory, and but for the efficient work
done by the fire department and the
employees of the WOODEN mills both
of these plants and possibly other
nearby houses would have been con-
sumed.
The flames were seen issuing from

Gray. He at once gave the alarm
and also sounded the whistle of the
mills. The fire companies were on
the spot In short time and the en-
ployes of the mills were soon there
assisting to keep back the flames.
The blaze had gained too much
headway for the Wright house and
barn to be saved. but efficient work
kept the fire from igniting either the
wooden mills or the soap factory.
In the barn were buggy, harness
and cart and two loads of hay. The

The Portland Journal says;

The Portland Journal says;
Ex-Governor r. T. Geer Is looming
up as n formidable candidate for the
ONCE OF United States collector of
customs, now held by I. l.. Patter-
son. To the general public the news
will come as a surprise, for up to the
present time only the initiated few
have known that Geer is an aspirant
for the place.
Three other avowed candidates are
ir the field, @. A. Westgate, OF AL
bany. chairman OF the Republican
state central committee; j. NJ. Shell
ley. OF Eugene. former representative
in the state legislature, and one OF
Senator Fulton's supporters in the
senatorial struggle OF 1908, and p.
8. Malcolm. OF Portland.
While the salary OF United States
collector of customs is but $4,000
year. fees and perquisites swell the
total compensation TO a sum that is
variously estimated from $1,000 to
10000. Collector Patterson's term
expired the 3lst OF last month.
Where Geer's Strength Lics.
Governor Geers strength as a can
didate for the place lies not only In
the prominent part he played In Ore
gon politics for number of years.
but 10 the heavy vote which he re-
ceived in the Republican primaries
last April. when he was James
Withycombe's chief competitor for
the nomination for governor. Geer
was defeated by plurality OF only
26S votes. and Il is the general opln-
ion among politicians that II his cam
paign had been conducted with the
same vigor displayed by his compet-
itors he would have distanoed all OF
them by considerable margin.
Geer's total vote In the primaries
was 1879; Wlthycombe's vote was
i4,i7b. In Multnomah county Geer
led Withycombe by 1875 votes.
II In the belief of some of the Re-
publican politicians that Senator
Fulton IL not very fayorably Inclined
toward Geer's candidacy. Perhaps
some trace OF personal feeling re-
mains FROM the senatorial fight OF ,
1908, when Geer's hopeless struggle
