PORTLAND SCHOOL
DESTROyEDBY FIRE
LOSS is S5OO,OOO

Portland, Or, Oct. 25.-Efforts
were being made by officials of
the police and fire departments to-
day to learn the origin of the fire
which early this morning Destroy
ed the Washington high school on
the east side. One fireman, o. B.
Gabriel, was killed by the collapse
of a wall and several firemen were
injured.
Incendiarism figured promi-
nently in theories concerning the
fire. Several fires here recently
have been attributed to a pyro-
maniac, and the school is only
two blocks from the Central Pres
byterian church, which burned re-
Gently from a mysterious cause.
The school board was protected
by insurance on the building,
which cost $50O,OO0 to complete
in 1907.
A. slight drizzle saved the east
side from a general conflagration.
A high wind played upon the
burning structure, sending burn
ing brands far to the northward,
where there were numerous wood
en- structures, and to the east.
The winds carried burning brands
that blazed for several minutes
after they fell. The rain, start
ing almost simultaneously with
the fire, wet down roofs and walls.
