all patriotic men and all who are in

Business of whatever sort in a coun-

chiefly upon two factors-public conf

CROPS AND WEATHER.

Impressive funeral services over the
remains Of the seven members Of the
French family, who were swept down to
death by the breaking of the Goodrich
creek reservoir, were held in Baker City
at 2 O'Clock Wednesday, under the aus.
pices OF the Queen City Camp and Circle,
Woodmen Of the World.
The names Of the victims are Clark T.
French and Mrs. French; Maude, l3
years; Mary, years; Carl, 7 years;
Grace, 8 years, and Jennie, year
The family formerly resided in Wyom-
ing, Colorado and Iowa. 1t is said that
Mr.. French's mother resides in one Of
these states.
Mr. French was an honored member
OF Queen City Camp, No. 48, in which
be carried $4,000 insurance policy.
Mrs. French was member Of the Circle,
an auxiliary of the order, carrying $1,000
insurance.
Although the family have no relatives
in this country the sudden and fateful
death of every member almost within
the twinkling of an eye impressed every
one with a feeling of most profound
pity.
The verdic! of the corener's jury which
inquired into the cause of the dreadful
fatality, was as follows:

death by drowning, caused by the break

head OF Goodrich creek, in this county

dam was not sufficient and had not re.

When to his official record are united an
unsullied private life, a character with
out blot or stain, grateful, generous
nature, patriotism that knows neither

performing duty to our beloved country
in thus calling attention to Mr.. Teller's
merits and availability as a candidate for

Wind-Pronf Hnllsas

Prof. John R. Sage is director of the
Iowa weather and crop service, and in
that capacity he is finding enough to do
these days. He is an expert on air dis
turbances, such as cyclones and tornadoe,
and he thinks the local officers of the
national weather bureau should at times
be invested with more authority. AS an
evidence Of this he holds that If the off,
Ger in charge at st. Louis had been al
lowed to do SO he could have given
warning which, if needed, would have
saved many lives. But it is always
easier to lock the door after the horse had
been stolen then before. So with this
controversy between the crop reviewer
and the weather forecaster. But there is
feature in q late interview with Prof.
Sage which is particularly worth noting.
He says that If he were building a
house on the prairie he would construct
the first story as strong as possible,
anchoring the corners with steel rods
through the masonery in the founda-
ton. The timbers OF the lower story,
he says, should be as strong as possible,
but the roof should be left so that the
suction of the high wind could spend it's
force in getting the roof off, The air in
the house must be lifted out by the tor
nado's powerful draft and if it cannot be
done without pulling the whole house
with it, then the house has to go. But if
it has vent then the air can escape with
out destroying or carrying away the
building. For this reason there should
be plenty of openings in the house 80 the
air can escape from the first story. In
his opinion the cellar should have an
outside opening or hatchway to let the
air out, or the house may be torn up or
turned over. It is imprisoned air that
causes most Of the destruction to build
iDgs.
These are practical hints and they are
supported by what occurred at st. Louis
1t was found there that in many cases
the cornered air wrecked the buildings by
trying to force itself out. Something like
an explosion took place. But when it
comes to building houses on the prairie
the first thing thought Of is shelter. 1t
is commonly the case that those building
their first homes have not the means,
even II they knew how, to add security.
And then it is questionable If any house
is secure when struck by genuine tor
nado. The path OF such storm is gen.
orally swept clean OF all distractions.

SCARCITY OF MONEY.
Cripple Creek Lamenting the Flu

Cripple Creek Lamenting the Flush
Days of the Past.
One OF the earliest arrivals in Cripple
Creek after the discovery OF gold was
announced was Joe Wolfe, who opened
the first hotel in big tent, says q
Cripple Greek correspondent OF the New
York Sun. Later he built frame hotel
with muslin partitions separating the
guest chambers. The bar, gambling
tables and dining-room were convenient
ly arranged on the first foor In one
corner OF the room he rugged up small
sink with water barrel adjoining, and
there the guests might wash the dust
from their faces in tin basins il they
chose, though it was not deemed neces.
sary to present clean face when enter.
ing the dining-room. This was the
Palace hotel, which was the business
center Of the camp during the boom of
last year. In Joe Wolfe's 'Bull Pen,"
as the railed-in enclosure about the great
mantel and crate in the Office was desig-
mated, many mining deal was consum.
mated. Wolfe made piles of money in
the hotel business, but when the recent
disasterous hre swept the entire business
district OF the town out of existence, and
the Palace hotel was consumed to ashes,
be was left penniless, Not only the
fires, but also series Of disastrous spec
ulations had depleted his pocketbook,
and to add to his collapse, the municipal
authorities ordered him to tear down the
frame supports which he with great
pluck was rearing upon the site of his
hotel on the morning succeeding the laet
fire. Fire limits had been established,
and Wolfe was not permitted to put up
another frame hotel with muslin parti-
tions. AS he could not secure sufficient
credit to build brick structure, his pro-
iect to continue in the hotel business was
at an end.
There was one resource left. He
might run gambling-house. The
gambling tables in his hotel had always
been literally patronized, for he always
ran a square game" and there was
therefore, no reason why he should not
try his luck at that business He ac-
cordingly secured big circus tent and
set 1t up on the cite Of his burned hotel
The furnishings OF this gambling place,
which Joe called the Palace Club, are
gorgeous in the extreme. Rugs of gaudy
patterns, upholstered divans easy chairs
and brightly-hued trappings give de-
cidedly Oriental effect, while electric
lights spread MONDAY light over the
whole. The gaming tables occupy about
one.half of the interior space, and they
are similar to those found in Nolan's
sheet.iron structure further up town and
in the several other gaming-houses of the
camp. With this equipment Wolfe ex-
poets to retrieve in measure his shat
tered fortune, but the games are very
light in the camp just now. There is
little money coming into the camp, and
pay.days have not been very regular nor
large for several months. The reopening
of a number of the big mines, however,
and the extra amount OF wages paid 10
mechanics engaged In the work OF re-
building the town make the outlook
somewhat encouraging.
