Another Big Fire.

| The Golden Star Grocery and the
Vienna bakery were totally destroyed by
hre Ihursdy night. Some passerby dis
covered the smoke and gave the alarm
about O'Clock at night. The fire was
III the rear of the grocery store. Before
the hose carts arrived the confagration
was well under way. About all that
Gould be done was to protect the adjoin-
ing property.
A. J. krandelt was proprietor of the
bakery. He carried a stock of con-
dictionary with his home made articles.
He had also new soda fountain which
had just been installed at cost of f4so.
MIR. krandelt carried insurance in the
sum of $1,000 which did not include his
sodo fountain. His loss is estimated at
at $4,000.
The Golden Star Grocery was owned
by Jacobs and Richards. They carried a
large stock, none OF which was saved.
The stock was insured for $500.
The Adams brick adjoining the wood
ell building on the west was damaged
some what by the exposure of windows
OF which the shutters were not closed.
The Owl Drug store stock fixtures were
damaged to the extent perhaps of $500.
The Bee Hive store owned by r. c.
Beach suffered very slight damage from
ha e .t,
building and the outside attachments
suffered from protective measures while
the building was threatened.
MIR. 5. J. Richards who was sleeping
in the second story of the building was
compelled to escape by hastily i'm
provised rope ladder. He knew nothing
of the fire till he was aroused by those
who came to the rescue.
The volunteer fire company rendered
effective service in protecting the adjoin-
ing property. The walls of the modern
building were not permitted to burn
next to the brick walls on either side.
A quantity of fire works was stored on
the second floor over the grocery store
room when they began to explode the
spectotors dispersed and the fire fighters
displayed some excitement. The
hydrant to which one hose was attached
could not be turned off after the fire was
extinguished. The stream was added to
the flow of the mill ditch for several
hours and it was necessary to turn the
water off to repair the hydrant before
the damage could be repaired.
AS soon as the heat subsidized the
smouldering heap Of rubbish that mark
ed the site of the stores was over run by
curious crowd. Water soaked articles
from the stock were carried away in
considerable quantities. The trespassers
scattered in every direction bearing
canned goods, soap, tobacco and cigars
in a more or less damaged condition
There seemed to be no official or private
protest against this innovation.

An Explanation Wanted.

A gentleman who arrived in the val
ley ten days ago says even the fruit grow
ers tried to discourage him when he tried
to buy wheat land. He then asked the
chronic GROWERS to sell piece of their
own land and they invariably answered
that they would not sell. This visitor
asks the Teller for logical explanation
OF these seeming contradiction Of state
ments by existing facts.

congress would furnish an entirely diner-
ent proposition from that which confront
ed the people In the last campaign The

of the ratio of l6 to /. The adoption or
the Gage and Mckinley financial plan by
congress would mean the contraction of
the currency of the country and the peo-
pie would be confronted with a fact. not
