CRITICISMS UNJUST.
Miller Did Not Expose Himself With
out Cause.

Some people are of the opinion that
Chief Miller rechlessly exposed him
self at the fire last night and that he
could have done more good by keep,
ing out Of the building and directing
the movements of his men. These
people DO not realize that Miller was
endeavoring 10 locate the source OF
the blaze so as to make an intelligent
fight against il when he was overcome
BY smoke.

PRESSURE WEAK.
Dayton Man Says Il Was Not Strong
Enouoh.

Notwithstanding the statement made
from George Staubach, president Of
the board of public works, that the
fire pressure was goods during the en-
tire night, Engineer Lumby Of Dayton,
holds that it was nothing what it
should be- Where the pressure was
only SO pounds it should have been
10, he said. The many streams of
water which were played on the blaze
represented thousands of gallons OF
water from the city reservoir. The
basement of the building was com
pletely filled and the streets adiOin-
ing the building were covered with
running water.

choked with people during the pro
gress of the fire. Chief Bailey had
nearly his entire force of police on
duty about the burning building. Fire
lines were stretched by the police and
the members of the force did excellent
work in holding the big crowd in
check There was absolutely no hind
rance TO the firemen on the part of the
crowd.

CAMBRIDGE TO RESCUE.
Fifteen Men From That Point Did
Heroic Service.

The Cambridge City fire department
numbering about fifteen men and I'M
der the leadership of Earl Bearfoot
was summoned TO Richmond after
eleven o'clock. All the departments
men were sleeping at their homes in
Cambridge when they received the
call, They promptly responded and
caught the last interurban car TO Rich
mond, bringing with them about elev-
en- hundred feet of hose. The boys
fought bravely from the time Of their
arrival and promptly obeyed the ord
eTs that were given them. The work
of the Cambridge City lads was a

PEOPLE WE'RE ON ROOFS.
Fight Burning Embers Falling on
Houses.

The rain yesterday probably saved
many residences in the vicinity of the
fire from burning down. Embers and
burning brands fell upon house tops
all over the neighborhoOd, but the wet
shingles would not ignite. Many anx-
ious householders spent the night on
the roofs of their homes putting out
the firebrands as they fell.

TENANTS WERE SLOW.
Could Not Realize the Building Was
Doomed.

1t took some time for the tenants of
the Colonial building to grasp the fact
that the Colonial building was doomed.
Had they acted promptly on the discOv-
cry of the blaze, all the contents of the
building could have been removed. The
Home Telephone company realized
that the building would be destroyed
and everyone of the automatic phones
was removed in ample time.

Men Forced From Store Room by

When Howard Smith, one of the
proprietors of the Model Department

hundred dollars in the cash register
in his store during the earlier part OF
the evening, several men entered the
store room and in the dense smoke
tried to find the register. Their efforts

PETITION FOR PAULUS.
Sgners Want Him Back in the De-

A petition is being circulated about
the city to have Walter Paulus rein
stated as member of the fire depart

and he distinguished himself by his
splendid work as a volunteer last
night. Like the notes of a bugle call
for the troop horse to the fray, the

He was here, there and everywhere.
He worked with the precision of the

The south wall and the west wall
OF the Colonial building looks today
as though they had been bent in a
vice. They are regarded as dangerous
because they are apt to fall at any
time. Chief Bailey had officers guard

today. If the block is ever rebuilt it
will be necessary to rebuild the two
walls in question.

Miss Peterson Is from the little
town Of Mist, down on the Columbia

ed at Briggson yesterday morning
to commence her term Of school. But
upon going to the school she learned
that she could not legally open the
school until she first registered her
teaching contract with the county su-
perintendent.
But when she learned Of her pre-
dicament the young lady did not
waste time in bemoaning her fate.
Instead, she borrowed a horse from
one Of the mountain ranchers and
rode the II miles into Weston to
catch the morning stub train into
PendletOn. She succeeded in doing
so and after her visit at the superin-
tendent's office fastened back to the

one of the finest collections of fruit
ever displayed in eastern Oregon.
Among other things to be found there
is a collection of 16 apples which laid

While the Pilot Rock exhibit is not
nearly so extensive as that to be

Pilot Rock vicinity can be developed
