Losses by the Lone Rock Fire,

The Fossil Journal says of the fire
that last week practically destroyed
the little town of Lone Rock:
The day was the hottest Of the year,
los In the shade. The fire was started
by the 6-year-old son of the hotel
keeper, Jack Andrews, who set fire to
lot of old clothes in little room at
the back of the hotel at about 2 o'clock
In the afternoon. The hotel and furni-
ture were reduced to ashes in q few
minutes. A brisk wind was blowing
which carried the flames to four other
buildings, which were rapidly con.
suned. The hotel was owned by Ira
Reed. The other buildings burned
were the drug store, owned by r. q.
Robinson; blacksmith shop, owned by
Mrs. Hogan; blacksmith shop, owned
and occupied by Andrew Sproules;
stable owned by Sias Brown. Mrs.
Hogan lost a fine outfit of tools. Mr..
Spronles managed to save his tools
DR.. Hunlock, who occupied the drug
store, estimates his loss at $500. What
saved the remainder Of the town was a
stream Of water that X. G.. Robinso.i
conveys To his house in pipe from a
spring on the mountain. Hose was
attached TO several faucets Oh this pipe
and strong stream of water kept
playing on the buildings most in dan
ger Rnbertson's house and Hams
store were in great danger for time,
but water and pluck prevailed. Betore
the hose was turned on, all the shingles
on Robertson's house was blazing, hut
water soon reduced the flames to smoke
and stem. Several force pumps and
asbucket brigade also had silne in
keeping the fire within bounds. Tie
loss is estimated at from $1,000 to SlO,,
900, little, if any of it, covered by in-
surance.

The Astoria Railroad.

Work on the entire Astoria railroad
is now in progress. The last contract
has been let on the main line. A. &.
Goerig was the successful bidder who
secured the contract for the foundation
pile driving for the yards as well as
the contract for the Scow Bay Depot.
Honeyman, DeHart 4 Co, have force
OF men at work aud will increase as
rapidly as possible. A large part of
the main line to Goble will be COM
pleted by the time winter sets in. The
seashore division is in good shape, and
the rails across the Young's Bay bridge
will be laid as soon as the first ship
arrives. The Flavel dock will be ready
in a few days for the unloading of
these rails, and old seamen have ex-
pressed that if the southwesterly wind
now blowing continues for short time
one or the other or both ships will
show up. The Warrenton depot is
rapidly approaching completion and
by next summer all will be in readi-
ness to handle the new wheat crop.
Prominent property owners express
the opinion that the work had bee n
pushed along with greater rapidity
than they had anticipated. The rail.
road company, in fact, has done more
than it promised to do this season, and
Is spending many thousands of dollars

New Method Of Discipline.

The Southern Pacific railway will
on and after the first Of August intro
duce a new method Of discipline among
its employees. The new system is TO be
one of discipline by record, and deLits
and credits will be entered against the
names of employees as occasion requires.
A bad record will eventually result in
dismissal, while q good one, on the
ether hand, marked with credits for
excellent condlct, good judgment in
emergencies, etc., will operate 10 the
employees advantage. One feature Of
the new system will lie the disc,ntinu.
ing from the suspension from duty and
loss Of time, as penalty for misdeeds
of employees.

Plenty of Black Bears.

1t is nothing unusual to meet a black
bear while travelling In tha mountains
in this country, says the Nehalem
Times. The mail-carrier met one on
the Foley road a few days ago Miss
Jennie Petit, who is teaching school
ut Foley, also met one on her way
home from school. Another was seen
eating mussels on the rocks at False
Tillamook last Saturday, by |, r.
Hicks, who was passing along the
beach. Still another came down to
the river to drink just opposite L. B.

Mr.. Jenkins. the Illinois man, is still

The Advertisers Methods Are Making
Johnston Men in More Places Than One.
Alec, March 19-(Special 1.-The con-
temptible method resorted to by the
Montgomery Advertiser has caused a
pie and the Advertiser is openly denounc-
ed in the strongest terms. 1t is hoped
that the State Herald will continue to
expose the Advertiser until the country
is rid of such pest. However, the Adj
yertiser's action has added three more
names to the Johnston column in Alec.
This leaves two Clarke voters in Alec.
and one of them mere boy who cannot
distinguish one candidate from another.
He attended the encampment at Mobile
last summer, which accounts FOR his sup
porting Clarke.
The workingmen will turn out in large
numbers Saturday evening to hear Cap
tain Johnston; in fact, it will no doubt
be the largest political meeting ever held
in Escambia county. The people are
worked up to a high pitch and are de-
termned not to be dictated to by the
Advertiser and the Clarke clique. The
Pine Belt News of Brewton used to be a
very popular paper in Alec. but since it
has assumed the attitude taken by the
Advertiser it has sunk into insignifi-
canoe.
Some of the members of the Alec john
ston club are curious to know why the
Advertiser did not publish Editor c. w.
Robbins opinion on the Morgan county
election.
Schwend Mills & Co. have purchased
the old Nicoles plant, one mile north of
Alec, and will put same in operation at
once manufacturing shingles, laths and
finishing material.
