FIRE--BetW cen 8 and 4 o'clock
on Thursday morning last the kitch.
en- and wood. house of Mr.. Q. j.
Frederick were destroyed by fire.
The kitchen stood within twenty
or twenty. five feet of the dwelling
house, and The favorable wind and
dampness from the previous rains,
were probably all that saved the
dwelling. Except a considerable
quantity of stOve-wOod, everything
of value was saved. The fire is
to have caught from the
ash box that was in the wood house.

go through in eight hours. The mud

now laid 100 miles out from Ainsworth
and it is expected to be in Spokane

pany are finishing up their water tank
and wind mill at Ritzville having over
five feet of splendid water in their
well. This settles the question of de-
pot, ride track, ETC., and also proves
that plenty of water can be had at that
point. -. The company are putting
portable saw mills at Wallula and 9TH
Ter points on the river and saving up
the logs that were caught from the va
kama drive. Two steamers landed at
Ainsworth on the 2Sth of April with
about 5000 ties from these mills ....

The market at Portland has shown
some activity during the week. Quo
tations have generally been reported at
$l.2S@l.30, but the latter has been the
basis upon which transactions were
made. Many rumors were f]oated by
different buyers and sellers, which,
with the tonnage situation, caused con-
siderable inquiry if not wonderment.
1t was stated that $l.35 was being Of
fered in the interior, but this seems
untrue. One seller stated that he was
offered $l.32l, storage paid to LIST
prox. This seems worthy of some
credence, as also the reported offer Of
$l.3l for delivery the first of next
week. The wants of exporters have
been large, but were mostly filled with
out raising values Com. Reporter

are estimated as follows: River Divis-

And yet it is claimed that this COM
pany must keep up the price of freights
so as to pay expenses and get reasona-
bic interest on their investment. 1t il
we'll known that the business of March
especially the river business, is much
below the average of the other months
of the year, out of gross income Of
