The fire started in the rear of the Palace restaurant, & large wooden building on Myers street, | and before a stream of water could reach it the fire had reached the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce and the hardware store of T. J. Kelly, all situ- | ated in the sanfe building. The explosion of a hot water boiler in the restaurant spread the fiames to | adjoining wooden structures. The con- cussion when the boiler exploded broke | many plate glass windows in the vicin- ‘ ity and especially those in the rmm; of the Union Hotel. The flames spread | o the wooden part of the Oroville Mer- | cury office, which, like the three places above, wes destroyed. The main of- fice in a brick building escaped. The | fire reached to the morth and soon a row of fine stores were all ablaze. The | stores were those of the Goldsteins, H. ‘ Breslaver and E. J. Mitchell. The sa- loon of J. M. McClung was soon de- | stroyed. The fire then swept to the| east and caught the two-story brick | structure owned by Mrs. Amelia Os- troski of San Francisco. In this block were the following: F. Hatch, grocery; George D. Peter saloon; Sol Asher, dry goods, and J. H. Bowers, confectionery and book store. All were destroyed or very badly dam- | aged. In the upper part of the building | were the offices of Dr. J. W. Wilson, | Dr. E. H. Newbold; Dr. H. J. Graham, | dentist; Dr. Bessac and Fred Estep. Practically nothing was saved Irum1 any of the quarters. Eight streams of | water were playing on the fire, yet| they were unable to check the flames.

A distress message was sent Lo the Portland poljce and an automobile full of detectives and plain clothes men was immediately sent out. | A fast Northern Pacific train would | reach Linnton in a few minutes and the murderer was evidently waiting | for this train.

BAKERSFIELD, June 14.—A fierce fire is raging in the Tejon Mountains, south of Bakersfield, and has been plainly seen from the city. in an isolated part, where comimunica- tion is extremely difficult, and all ef- forts to secure definite information tb-day has resulted in failure. The location of the blaze is at present re- mote from any of the large ranches— about thirty miles, so far as can be | judged—and it is thought that there is no chanee of any being reached by the flames.

The young man wrote 4 farewell note to rela- tives. The cause of the tragedy has not been learned. The fire is | John D, Spreckels & Bros. Company’s | steamer Breakwater arrived late Mon- day from her first trip to Coos Bay.| Her return here was like that of any other coaster, but Captain George Sea- man did not care, for his ears were| still tingling with the warmth of the | welcome which the people of the Ore- | welcome with which the people of the Oregon port hfld greeted the new teamer, The Breakwater’s arrival at Coos Bay was the signal for one of the | greatest celebrations the thriving town of Marshfield has ever known. The irauguration 6f the new service meant | | rapid transit to the outside world and a good-by to the discomforts of travel | by steam schooner or the tedium of Jjourneying over rocky roads in a high- strung stage coach—the only alterna- tives before the traveler prior to the coming of the Breakwater. A ROUSING WELCOME. | The steamer was tied up to the wharf | to the accompaniment of music. Every | brass instrument in Marshfield was in | commission and the most powerful | lungs in Southwestern Oregon supplied the power which filled the . metal throats of the trumpets with the blasts of welcome. The Mayor of Marshfield and every citizen of prominence joined in greet- ing the hew steamer, and during the Breakwater's stay in port the town| made a holiday. There was entertain- ment on board the Breakwater and en- | tertainment ashore, °ith speeches of | congratulation, spgeches of welcome, muslic, banquets, more musie and then | a’ good-by that carried with & a wel- come for the next time. The Breakwater is undoubtedly the best cquipped passenger steamer in the coast trade. She has accommodatious for ferty first-class and twenty sec- ond-class cabin passengers. Besides having all the comforts of a first-class ocean liner the Breakwater is speedier than any boat ever before on this run. On her first trip she made better time by twelve hours than the best previ- ous trip of other vessels and more tkan & day better than the average coaster makes the run. The Break- water will make one trip a week. WILL BENEFIT COUNTRY. The benefits of the new service to Southwestern Oregon will be manifold. Prior to the advent of the Breakwater a triv to San Francisco was a serious undertaking. It involved either the discomforts of a passage of indefinite length on a steam schooner or a fifty- two-hqur journey by stage and rail. The Breakwater can make the run in a little more than thirty hours under favcrable circumstances and in fless than forty hours in heavy weatner. The country contributory to Coos ! Bay includes some of the richest tim- ber and mineral land on the Pacific slope. With the Breakwater on the run a visit to this section will have no terror for the capitalist in search of investment. The Breakwater was a favorite with travelers for health and pleasure when New Orleans was her home port, and as the comforts which then made her popular have been re- ta:ned, the trip to Coos Bay offers un- limited vacation possibilities. The ocean voyage can be made in comfort and within easy reach of Marshfields is a sportsman's paradise. The country is full of game and the streams are well stocked with salmon and trout. Ducks and other birds are plentiful and for the sportsman in search of big game deer and bear are there in abundance. The Breakwater will leave Howard street wharf to-day at 5 o'clock on her second trip to the Oregon port. —_————— Two Banks Close Doors.
