Town of Ashland is Saved.

Ashland, Or, Aug. 25.-Three hun
dred men were desperately fighting fire
last night in Ashland canyon, two
miles above this city. Last night the
wind had died down and much progress
was being made. Yesterday was a
day of wild excitement in Ashland.
Early in the morning the wind was low
and no apprehension was felt. About
IL o'clock the wind suddenly gained
great velocity and lent an added fury
to the flames, which were sweeping
down the canyon toward the foothills
in which the little city.

Government Asked to Prevent Care
less Rafting in River.
To devise some means to prevent
millmen and towboat operators from
permitting hemlock logs to escape
from booms, Superintendent Groves of
the Port of Portland dredges, will con-
fer with the Corps of Engineers, U. S.
A.
In the past week four logs have been
hauled from the channel, two in the
Willamette river and others in the
Columbia, and four or five others have
been located and will be removed at
once.
"These logs are bound in the RATS
with rope, so that the butts will
float, as the base of the hemlock will
sink at once on being freed" said Cap
tain Groves. cit appears that when
rafts are taken in tow the friction,
caused by the moving of the logs, soon
sewers the rope and they sink. The
logs are 20 or "a feet long and we have
found when they rest in 80 feet of
water. with the lighter end swaying
with the current few feet below the
surface, they constitute serious men
ace to navigation. We have suffered
in the past from steamers striking
them, because it is impossible to know
where they are. We hired diver to
place chain around one last week and
when he went over the side and stood
on the log, as it floated in an upright
position, half of his helmet was above
water"

Available Man Is On Fighting
Line-Camps Burn.

Eugene, Or, Aug. 25.-Fire swept
into the town of Vending from slash
ings nearby early last night and wiped
out all but three houses. Heroic work
of $50 employees saved the mills of the
Booth-Kelly Lumber company.
When the flames entered the town,
the women and children were rushed to
Marcola, and later came into Eugene,
in charge of A. C. Dixon, manager for
the company.
Telephone and telegraph wires be-
tween here and Vending went down
early, but courier arrived shortly be-
fore midnight with word that when he
left the burning town at go the big
mills were in no immediate danger.
The mill men were then taking their
first rest in 48 hours. The company
store was saved from the flames, but
the bunkhouses, church and school
house and all residences in the village
were licked up like so much tinder.
The fire started from slashings near
the town. Men had been fighting the
fire for two days, but, with the high
wind in the afternoon burning brands
were swept over the heads of the
firefghters and within an hour the
residence section of the town was in
ashes.
While the flames were in progress
75 loggers fought their way through
the burning district and assisted in
saving the mill property.
A telephone message from Hale at
9:45 last night brought the report
that the fire raging along the Wild Cat
and over the divide from Hale is not SO
serious, but grave fears are enter
tained if the winds rise again.
Three families near Walton weIe
driven out and their homes burned.
Those who lost their homes are A. E.
Whiteaker, W. W. Lyons and Julian
Davies.
Hale also reports a big fire over in
the Deadwood country, which destroy
ed the home of A. Almost.
The stagedriver from Hale to Eu-
gene reports that the fire now raging
in that vicinity has frontage of eight
or ten miles. He does not think the
stage between Hale and Mapleton can
make the trip tomorrow.

Looking Pleasant.

We cannot, of course, all be handsome,
And it's hard for us all to be good,
We are sure now and then to be lonely,
And we don't always do as we should.
To be patient is not always easy,
70 be cheerful is much harder still,
But at least we can always be pleasant
If we make up our minds that we will.
And it pays every time to be kindly,
Although you feel worried and blue;
If you smile at the world and look cheerful,
The world will smile back at you.
So try to brace up and look pleasan
No matter how low you are down,
Good humor is always contagious,
But you Danish your friends when you frown.
