DEATH CAMAS FOUND TO Be
CAUSE OF KILLING SHEEP
INVESTIGATION UNCoVERS CAUSE
OF LOSS OF ANIMALS ON
DEATH RIDGE.

Death camas is the cause of the
death of many sheep passing along
the Death Ridge road south of Pilot
Rock This definite information was
given out by Assistant District Forest
er Thos. P. Mackenzie, Supervisor
W. w. Cryder and DR.. H. E. Pinkerton
yesterday evening upon their return
from a personal investigation Of the
cause of the sheep losses in that vi.
cinity.
They found a cons, ,derable area
along on either side of the ridge road
in which the fatal plant is growing in
quantities. The affected area runs
about a half mile each side of the old
Manning place, according to their OBJ
servat'ons.
Supervisor Cryder this morning stat
ed that it would be almost impossible
to eradicate this plant and he ad-
vises, as a precaution against the
death of sheep by ii. that before COM
ing to the affected area, flockmasters
send out herders on the flanks of the
bands to keep the animals moving
right along
For a considerable distance before
coming to the region of the death ca
mas. the road runs along lanes in
which there is little grass growing
This fact causes the sheep 10 reach
Death Ridge with empty stomachs.
Ordinarily they will not touch death

FIRE AT s:15 O'CLOCK LAST
NIGHT PARTIALLY DESTROYS
FRAME STRUCTURE.

Fire that broke out at 9:15 o'clock
last evening partially destroyed the
old Knights of Pythias building on
the corner of Main and Water streets.
one of the few remaining wooden
buildings in the business district, But
for the prompt action of the fire de-
partment the building would have
been a total loss and the fire might
have spread to adjoining buildings
As it is the loss is estimated not 10
reach veyond $3.50 and was covered by
insurance.
The colored men Of the city have
club rooms in the second story of the
building and It was there that the
fire originated, from what cause has
not been ascertained. In a very few
minutes the whole roof was a mass OF
flames and the building looked to be
doomed. The fire truck made a rap
i'd run and soon had three streams OF
water playing on the builing. In O
short. time the fire was under con-
troll much to the amazement of the
spectators.
The damage was confined to th'
roof. the attic and the east wall
Whether or not the city will permit
the building to be repaired is not yei
known. The building is scheduled e
be torn down as soon as the knights
of Pythlas perfect plans for theil
new building and the request to MAKE
repairs may not be made.
