THE TRUST AND THE LOCAL ICE
BUSINESS.

Presidents d. w. CLARK of the d. W..
Clark Ice company has statsd In an In
teryiew that the consolidating of the los
interests into general trust will have no
effect on the local business. as it is the
object of the combine, as he understands
1t, only to control the shipping of Toe
from points along the Atlantic coast In
the north, for the southern markets.
While this will. of course, affect poi nts
along the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers,
1t will have practically no effect here as
not much los is now shipped south from
Portland. The Consolidated company
controls the house at Cape Elizabeth. the
output Of which is several thousand tons,
but only a drop in the Immense fields
now controlled by this combination.
1--WE have shipped Ice from Sebago to
Philadelphia. says Mr.. Clark. "but the
cost OF reloading brings the Transporter
tion rate up to snoh hgura that we
could not compete with the river oompan-
les, where theysoan load barges directly
at the ice houses for any part of the
world.
Mr.. Clark animated that the combine
has as yet shown no disposition to take
hand In the local business in any OF
the cities in this part of the country.

A serious fire occurred at North Deer
ing Monday morning between three and
four o'clock and had 1t not been for its
prompt discovery the occupants OF the
house would have had narrow escape
from death.
MIR. Charles Burnham, who occupies
the house leased By Mr.. II. E. Lovejoy,
the North Deering milk dealer, was
awakened from his sleep by terrific
noise in the barn near the house. He
quickly sprang from bed and went to the
window and saw that his house and barn
were on IRE, aud that no time should be
lost II the family were to escape alive.
The house was filed with smoke and had
10 not been for the thu mping and pound
ing of the horse In the stable who was
trying to get out, Mr.. Burnham would
not have discovered the fire when he did.
Mr.. Burnham awakened his family, con-
sisting of wife and three children, and
then tried to get out Of the door but
could not on account Of the fire and
smoke. Finding his way chocked off he
jumped from a window and hurried to
the stable where he released the horse. He
then discovered that no time must be lost
and that he ought to go back and assist
his wife and children. He smashed In
the back door and running into their
room assisted them out into safety. Ten
minutes later the house was destroyed,
and nothing but q chimney remained

tance from the burning building, sound
ed its whistle and succeed in nrousing
the neighbors who went to the assistance
of Mr.. Burnham. No alarm was sounded

call out the department. The loss is esti-
mated at $l,2O0 ON the house and barn
with 81, 900 insurance.
MIR. BurnhaIn's loss win be fully $500.

TROUBLE IN SPOKANE.
Mcdonald Has Been Called Upon t.
Straichteu 1t Out.


Straishten 1t Out.
Dan Mcdonald, president of the
Western Labor union, has been called
to Spokane to assist in Strengthening
out the trouble between the brewers
and their employees, who have been On
a strike for some time. Mr.. Mcdonald
left for Spokane yesterday. Charles
EulitZ, the general organizer of the
union, was first sent to the place to
try and adjust the difficulty, but he
only met with partial success and the
chief executive of the order was finally
telegraphed for to assist in the matter
Mr. Mcdonald stated that he was not
altogether familiar with the trouble at
Spokane and did not know just what
he was expected to do or what could
be accomplished when he got there. 1t
appears that the troubles Of the Spo-
kane brewers is somewhat similar
to that of the bricklayers in Butte.
After they had gone on strike other
men took their places and the latter
organized new union, claiming that
the strikers were in the wrong, but the
completion of the organization has
been deferred until the arrival of Mr..
Mcdonald.
President Mcdonald has been notified
that the Spokane labor unions expect
ed to tender him a big reception upon
his arrival there, and it is expected
that general meeting Of organized la
Dor will be held during his stay in that
city and labor questions in general dis
cussed and considered.
