Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1892-03-17

A bill has been introduced at Wash
ington requiring all baking powders
containing alum and ammonia TO be so
labeled. This is a step IN the right di-
rection, and has been long foreshad-
owed by the action Of state legislatures,
boards Of health, food commissioners,
etc, i'm this matter. The bill affords
needed protection to the public, for the
evidence as to the injurious effects of
alum and ammonia is very heavy; but
it will nevertheless be fought bitterly
by the manufacturers whom it effects
who are accustomed to sell their goods
as pure Cream of Tartar" absolutely
pure" etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses a drug in his powder, the
name of which he does not want to
have printed on his label, it isiprima
facie evidence that there Is something
wrong. We hope the subject will be
vigorously prosecuted all over the
country, not only as regards baking
powder, but also all other food adulter-
ations.
This bill may incidentally benefit
the makers of pure articles, but If IL
should, this is only an additional point
I'm its favor.

A Pleasant EYsnlng.

No jollier, more congenial crowd Of young
people could be imagined than that, which,
through the kindness Of Mrs s. {. Brooks
and Miss Iva, was permitted to meet and
enjoy few hours with their college friends,
who have returned home to spend their va
cation, Saturday evening. Although year
is comparatively short time. yet so many
incidents are crowded into that space and
so varied are the topics to be discussed,
that aside from being entertained by q num-
Der Of musical selections, there seemed little
time for much else than conversation, and
from the constant hum of voices and the
merry peals Of laughter which greeted the
ear of one who chan,ed to be listening, it
was easily concluded that every one was en-.
joying the evening to the fullest extent.
and more than one young lady was heard to
remark, Show nice it is to haye the boys
home again." With such entertaining
hostesses as Mrs Brooks and Miss Iva, as
sisted by Mrs. W. s. Myers, no one could
feel otherwise than at home, and 80 much
SO that the young people fairly forgot them
selves and came near reaching home on
Sabbath morning. Among those who will
remember this as one of the most pleasant
evenings ever spent are Misses Iva Brooks.

A Matter of History.

Salem Statesman: No more appropriate
design for the keystone of an Oregon bank
could be conceived than the one which has
been selected for the place OF honor in the
new stone front of the Capital National

bears an image of beaver, and the letters
"K. NJ. T. r. q 3, O. T." Since its ex-
hibition in the bank wiudow it has caused
no little comment and curiosity. Among

rne river and Harbor Measure.

WASHINGTON, July s.-Already there
has been more or less discussion about
what the president will do with the rIyer
and harbor bill, and suggestions are
being made that he will veto it. 1t has
been claimed in the dispatches that there
Is little danger OF that course. Although
it carries 10 the neiehborhood of $53 900
600, all but SCI 600, 600 is for future pay
ments under the contract system, and
these contracts are for works which have
been begun and are approved by the
engineers. Consequently it is really a
meritorlous bill, and will probably save
the government, in the end, great deal
Of money. The members of the Oregon
delegation, all of whom have great
interest in seeing that the bill is ap-
proved as 1t stands, have no fesr Of the
ultimate result. II may be that the
president will not sign the bill, but allow
it to become law by limitation.

that the men propose, if pessihle. to have
the question legally decided whether the
Pinkertons have right to bring armed

Against such an attempt the strikers will

railroad men are in hearty sympathy with

hard TO surprise the strikers with an ad

| flames took firm hold on the structure,
several streams were turned on. The
force of the water did NOT seem sufficient
to reach the roof properly, and ladders
were sent up to the third story windows,
into which firemen climbed and inserted
the hose. The wind was blowing so
fercely that it was bard struggle to
keep the flames in check, and the posi-
ion of the men was rendered doubiy
perllous by the burning tinbers which
fell almost constantly from the cornices.
The work upon the building was also
hindered to some extent by the necessity
for divertIng the three streams on the
Stark street side aud occasionally play
ing upon the buildings on the north side
of the street. II was about o'clock be
fore the fire was under control, having
been practically confined to the roof and
top story, though the entire interior was
thoroughly drenched with smoxe and
water. The lower part was occupied by
the Mikado saloon, keot by Mott & Mon
teitb, on the corner, and A. B Colby's
bottling works. The upper floors were
occupied by a lodging house. and had
been newly and expensiyeIy furnished
about. year ago. The building was
owned by Mrs John B GearIn and was
valued at $4,000. It is believed to have

Fred T. Merrill's numerous friends

his repair shop Is total loss; uninsured.
There were, he says. abou, $4,000 worth

On them. He cannot estimate his loss
until he sees how many of the goods can
be recovered.

remains quiet here, bu. citizens are be-
coming anxious to have the regularly
constituted authorities in charge once
more instead of the present chaotic con-
dition in which every man assumes to be
an officer, and the labor leaders give or

effort will be made to induce the men to
agree to permit the deputies to take

Disastrous Blaze.

PORTLAND, July 11.-Portland was
last night visited by one of the largest
confagrations she has seen in years.
The fire broke out in the heart of the
city, and, before the flames could be sub
dued, almost an entire block Was leveled
to the ground.
The fire broke out in c. Carmichael's
carpenter shop on Sixth street, next to
the corner of Washington When it was
discoyered by reporter and Officer
johnson, there was only small blaze In
pile of shavings about the stove. The
door was at unce broken open aud an
effort was made to extinguish the fire.
a few buckets OF water would have been
sufficient to stay the progress of the
flames, but as these few buckets of water
were not to be had. Officer johnson
fastened TO the nearest fire alarm box to
turn in an alarm, while the reporter
busted himself alarming the people living
in the adjoining buildings. Owing to
some delay 10 the arrival of the fire de
partment and the lack of water after it
did arrive, almost the entire block bound
ed by Washington, Stark, Sixth and
Seventh streets Is this morning 10 ashes.
By the time the fire department arrived
upon the scene the carpenter shop was in
flames ard the fire had made considerable
headway in the small cottage, just north
of the carpenter shop, occupied by F A.
Frlscbkorn, the tailor. and the southeast
corner of the block, occupied by Fried
burg & Boulan, the cigar dealers.
DELAY IN GETTING WATER.
There was considerable delay In get.
ting water, and by the time the fire dep
artment was fairly at work the entire
block appeared to be doomed.
The fire spread rapidly to the house
occupied by Mrs. Fanshaw and the row
of one.story frame buildings on Washing
ton street, owned by Mrs. Kelley, OF San
Francisco. one of the Raleigh heirs. Soon
afterwards and before the firemen could
make muchs headway the New Bruins
wick lodging house. owned by sreinbach
s. Wells, was ablaze. The next building
to go down before the flames was the
Mikado saloon and lodging house, owned
by Mrs. j. B. Gearin and occupied by
Watt Monteith and A. B. Colby. the
Portland agent of Pabst Brewing Com
psny, of Milwaukee, with his bottfing
works.
THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL.
The fire burned fercely until o'clock
this morning, when it was fslrly nader
control. The fireman had their hands
full to confine the fire to this block, and
at this hour only shells of the Mikado
block and the New Brunswick lodging
house and few old shanties on Stark
street. occupied by Cinnamon, remained
standing. The sparks and large pieces
of burning timbers were carried across
Stark street, and at times it looked as II
another block would have to go. Streams
of water were at short intervals played
on the buildings across Stark street, and
by heroic efforts the fire was kept within
the block where 1t originated.
IN THE MIKADo.
The struggle with the Mikado hotel and
saloon, three-story frame building at
Sixth and Stark, was perhaps the fiercest
of the FIRE. It seemed at first possible
to save the building by ext,nguishing the
flames on the Other buildings, and the
hose were differently used; but as the
