Stoves and Sunshine.

Eugene Field after visiting Europe,
said that the one thing he missed most
in his travels was the great American
stove. The first thing he did when he
got home was to write a poem, entitled
"Stoves and Sunshine in which he
paid his respects to the sleeveless, cheer
less, shivering countries he had visited.
In the second verse, which we print
herewith, it will be seen that the poet
made an inexcusable mistake by writing
" Yankee" instead of Garland. Read
the verse and see. and then call on
Maier & Benton and see the stoves.
Now, am of opinion that person should get
some
Warmth in this present life OF ours, not all in
that to come;
So when Boreas blows his blast through country
and through town,
Or when upon the muddy streets the sitting fog
rolls down,
Go, guzzle in the pub, or plod some bleak, ma
lariOus grove,
But let me toast my Shrunkeu Shanks beside
some Yankee stove.

There is a smell distinctly and
,diabolically its own, that sweeps our

from nobody knows. 1t is democratic

freely to the poor as to the rich. The
nephitis mephitica or its spotted brother
the spilogate putrius otherwise skunk
would leave its vicinity, dead mackeral
under a full moon, or decomposing
salmon, or double-barreled crematory
or any little thing like that would be as
altar of roses to a garbage wagon beside
it. 1t is just a live thIobbing pulsating
all-pervading smell of something long
dead but not gone before.

1t looked for little while as though
the regular annual meeting of the Agri-
cultural Association was to be abandoned
and The Dalles was to pass by the
regular fall fair. Sunday Mr.. McAllister
went to Pendleton and completed ar
rangements with the Secretary ]. o.
Mack, which permitted the matter to GO
on. 1t required considerable work here
also, as the money for the purses had to
be raised and other preliminary matters
attended to. All the tangles here have
been Strengthened out and the fair will
Ngo. The fact that it came near going by
the board is going to make it success,
for it has caused everybody here to take
an interest in it. The races and purses
will be published in a few days. In the
meanwhile Mr.. MacAllister, who is act
ing as secretary will gladly furnish those
desiring it, copy of the premium list,
and the names of the winners OF last
years prizes. The fair begins October

A BIG INDUSTRY LOST.
The Pendleton Roller Mills Go Up in
Flame and Smoke

The East Oregonian OF Monday says:
The Pendleton Roller Mills, 500 bar
rels capacity, owned by w. S. Byers, are
a thing OF the past.
No more, unless the mills are rebuilt,
will Pendleton people congratulate
themselves upon the success and magni-
tude of such an industry in their midst.
No more will admiring reporters speak
of the big shipments made to China,
Japan, Australia and South America.
No more will the handsome fac simile of
the premium ribbon won by Overs
Best at the Worlds Fair, adorn the
many sacks of this splendid flour turned
out at the mill.
All that remains of the Pehdleton
Roller Mills is a heap Of ashes, DESC
late pile of smoking ruins, an immense
heap of burned wheat, vast quantities
of broken stone. When one turns his
face to the east from the business center
the sight of large building no longer
greets his eyes. The musical hum of
the mill, telling of industry and pros
perity and employment for many people,
no longer pleases his ears. Lost are
these things through the agency of that
awful demon of destruction, ire-soar-
ing higher, higher, in frenzy of desire,
to reach the moon.
Fearful was this fire in It's intensity
and destruction. Someone said that it
did more damage than all the fires of
the past together in Pendleton, and the
remark does not fall far short of the
truth. 1t destroyed an enterprise that
was the. pride of this city and of large
benefit. 1t consumed property valued
at fully $l50,000 and protected by only
| $50 900 insurance. 1t blasted at blow
! the labor of man who has worked for
years to build it up, and whose life and
energy were centered in its success.
There is no one in the community, in
the county, in Eastern Oregon, but who
will sympathize with w. S. Byers and
his business daughter, Sophia.
The fire started at 3 30 O'Clock this
morning, and it was 5 o'clock before the
flames were under reasonable control.
To the fact that there was no brisk wind
| blowing may be ascribed the fortunate
| GAiO NC was SOihhON
to the mill and warehouses. The court
house, wooden and securing mills, Byers'
residence, and other property near.
were seriously threatened.
| NThe mill was modern and expensive
one, and cost IN the neighborhood oi
$3.50, 900 all told. Its present worth was
at least $4,000. Wheat. flour, ware.
Houses and other property destroyed
will bring the total to $l50,000.

Washington Letter.
Washington, Mar. 18th ]

WaSn1QgUOn, Mar. 10Cn 1oJG.
 The fifty fifth congress which met in extra session at noon today makes an early start what sort of an ending it will make only time can tell. The house or ganized by reelecting Speaker Reed and all the other officers of the last congress the democrats cast their votes for Repre- sentative Bailey, of Texas, for Speaker, and he is now regarded as the regularly constituted leader of the democrats in the house. The idea of a combination of the silver elements in the senate to reoIganiza the committees of that body has been abandoned for the time, and the impress sion is that the republicans will be allowed to retain the chairmanships they have, at least during the extra session, and that the vacancies in committees will be filled by mutual agreement among the several parties in the senate. Nobody seems to think that the gentlemen ap- pointed to the senate by the governors of Kentucky, Florida, and Oregon have the remotest chance to be seated. The re- publicans do not wish to engage in a fight that will add to their difficulties in getting votes outside of h sir party that will be needed to pass the tariff bill, and the other parties have been unable to agree upon any basis of voting together.
 Although practically known for some time, it was fully decided atthe last meet ing of the cabinet that the Cuban policy of this administration would be one of non-intervention so long as the present status of the combatants in Cuba is main- tained. About the only difference between the Cleveland and the Mckinley policy to- wards Cuba, is that President Mckinley will be more positive in demands relat- ing to the treaty rights of Americans in Cuba. This difference seems to have al- ready been reali zed by the Spanish off1ci- als in Cuba, who are reported to be treat ing Americans with more consideration than they were a short time ago.
 A few gentlemen, in and out of congress. are protesting to be greatly surprised at the rates of duty imposed by the new tariff bill just completed by the republi- can members of the ways and means committee, but there is in reality no occa- sion for surprise. The bill si just about what it might have been expected to be and may be fairly described as the Mo- Kinley bill changed to meet changed con- ditions. It is strictly a protective bill, and it's framers say that it will also prove to be good revenue bill by furnishing the additional money needed to meet the deficit iu government receipts. It will probably be passed by the house before April 1. What will happen to it before it passes the senate is as uncertain as how long the senate will consider it. Those who remember that some where in the neighborhood of 800 amendments were added to the Mckinley bill in republi- can senate, and that nearly as many were added to the Wilson bill in democrati c senate, are little dubious about trying to predict what a senate not controlled by any party will do to the present bill.
