vancouver IndepenGeas In the following
paragraphs poftrays the dangers and
Describes the losses OF like fires in the
vicinity Of that town:
On Thursday last the barn ON the farm
Of Jacob Dubeck, on Mill Plain. vas
discovered ON fire by some Of the family
In the house. None Of the men folks
were at home. They were all threshinc
about one mile distant. On seeing the
smoke they ran for the place, but too
late 70 save anything, except the dwell
ling house, which vas saved by putting
vet blankets upon it The granary was
also destroyed, some three or four thous-
and bushels of grain of this years crop
being in it. A reaper, two wagons, two
sets Ut harness, and lot Of aRricultu-
raj implements were also DESTROYED.
The barn, costing $500, was one of the
best in the county. The total loaees
foot up about 5000, with no insurance.
The origin Of tho fire ia unknown.
There was no fire in the woods within
two or three miles, and none Of the
family had beeu around with fro or
matches. lnoendiarism is STRONGLY sus-
pected.
On the same day Mr.. VIM. F. Zeek
went out to his farm on the Lackamas
to burn slashing. He burnt it, but the
hre passed beyond his control, destroy
ing his barns, houses, lumber and saw
mill. The only thing saved was his
buggy, which he ran into the pond. The
pond Is there. however. Tho loss
amounts 70 about 5000, and 10 q severe
blow 70 Mr.. Zeek. At the time Of burn
ing the slaahinR heavy woods fire vas
raging above il, and the siashinR vas
burned to save the place il possible.
Tho wind came mp suddenly while the
elashinR vas going good and fred the
dead trees and green timber towards
tho mill, and then everything had to 20.
3. u. Potts and Sanford Zeek, who
lived the 9, lost pretty much all their
household goods, except one stove and q
little bedding, and are thereby left in a
bad fix. ALI their hay and feed vas
likewise burned. Mr.. Zeek's fine or
chard was also destroyed.
On Monday of this week the fire from
. slashing below the Druck mill threat
0ned the buildings on the farm with de-
struction. BY hard work the fire was
finally prevented from damaging any
thing but some fencing and sundry ar
tlcles on the place.

blue pants from pile of clothing on the
counter. ''Dey vas de genervine doeskin,

The countryman took the pantaloons to the
light, examined the texture of the cloth, and
then. shaking his head knowingly, said
"There's too much on in them they
will shrink"
"Of course, my frent, dey will shrink, but
