Showers of Boxing Brands—Portland

Destroyed—Many Narrow Escapes—Does
Estimated at #300,000.
Chicago, Aug. 15.—A Tribune spe¬
cial from Portland, Ore., says the atmos¬
phere for miles around is thick with
smoke and cinders, and burning brands
are falling in showers. All the north¬
western country seems to be burning up
in forest fires.
In the harbor the smoke has had the
eficot of fog, and the steamers have
been required to blow their whistles
every few minutes to avoid collisions.
It is estimated that the total damage
by forest fires in the northwest this year
will amount to nearly $500,000.
The fires are burning all along the
railroad lines and river, and at night
illuminate the hills and mountains.
Several farmhouses have been burned,
with the stables and produce, and stores
with quantities of wheat of this year's
crop. Several thousand cords of wood
have been consumed.
Monday the flames swooped down
upon the settlement of Cedar Mills, and
left the country barren. The people, in
some instances, had scarcely time to es¬
cape, and had to hurry through the
woods, the fire being so thick along the
regular road.
An extensive fire is raging in southern
Oregon, south of Rosebud, and a num¬
ber of houses have been burned.

Chicago, Aug. I 5.— Judging from

the prosecution in the Cronin ease was
on the trail of some new and important
facts, and that arrests may be looked

public has been advised and soaroely

a solution in every way characteristic of
