Another sunday Fire.

Sunday seems to be the favorite day in
The Dalles for fires. Accordingly, yes
terday about IL 80 O'Clock the clang of
the fire bell was again heard and resi-
dents rushed from their homes and
the various places of worship, each one
feeling assured that it was their home
or place of business which was on fire.
However only one was correct IN the con-
lecture, and that was Miss Schmidt who
assured the other members of the Con-
gregational choir that she felt certain it
was her home, ,as the chimney was burn
ing out when she left. And it proved to
be the case.
Although there was still little ice on
the roof,a cinder from the burning CHM
ney succeeded in catching the shingles,
and hole about three feet in diameter
was soon made by the flames. AS quick
" as possible the firemen were on the
scene, and the engine was located at the
cistern on the Catholic church corner.
For about twenty minutes the water
played on the fire, and was successful in
extinguishing it.
Inc damage. WHICH WIS HlOSCly cdueeu
by the water, has not as yet been fully
determined, but is thought to be about
5000, and is confined to two bedrooms,
one up stairs and the other just below.
while the halls were damaged slightly.
Nothing will be done toward making re-
pairs until the insurance adiustors ar
rive.
While the result of the fire was not
what might be termed disastrous, it
is anything but pleasant to have living
rooms soaked, with water this cold
weather. However, Mr.. Schmidt and
his family consider they had lucky es-
cape.
For the past week there have been two
men advertising and introducing a new
kind of soap among our citizens. 1t is
known as Blue Mountain toilet soap.
The above named soap is made from the
product of mineral soap mine located
in Eastern Oregon, and is without a
doubt the best five cent soap on the mar
ket. 1t Is put up by the Columbia Star

HER FIRST RIDE IN A LIFT.
Nearly ParalyEed With Fear and
Yelled to he Rescued.


One of the most absurdly comical scenes
that ever took place outside of the stage
Of a farce comedy was enacted down at the
Moses building recently. 1t happened In
the elevator-that elevator that is SO IA
miliar to the business people having occa-
sion to use it. Pretty safe it is to say
that not very many records would be
smashed by it on race track. 1t seems
to be afflicted with q chronic case of spring
fever, making its movements necessarily
slow and painful-painful for the passen-
gers at least
Tho other afternoon an old negro wom-
an, with all the trademarks of the coun-
try, stepped gingerly into the cage from
the fifth story. How she ever got up there
heaven only knows Johnny Hanson, who
guides the destinies of tho lift sized up
the 'old sister, and determined to sec If
the ups and downs Of his life could not
have little variety. When the old wom-
an had got all of her anatomy in the cage
and the door was clicked to, Johnny gave
the rope quick jerk, sending the ma
chine shooting down into space faster than
1t had ever done before.
The startling results were even more
than he had bargained for. With yell
of horror the old woman threw her arms
about his neck with, "Save me, honey,
for do lambs sake" and it would have
been an easier task to comfort Rachel
mourning for her children. Every floor
that was reached on the downward jour-
ney seemed haven Of refuge to the old
soul, who begged piteously to "le' me git
out" Finally tho ground floor was
reached, and when the door was slid back
and she was told to eight" the deep
breath of thankfulness was something too
eloquent for words. - Montgomery Adver-
tienr

Modern Bullet Wounds.

Painless death or almost certain and
painless recovery from his wounds is the
alternative fate of tho soldier stricken
down on the field Of battle by the modern
small caliber bullet. If soldier is not
killed outright, his wounds almost irvari-
ably heal under antiseptic treatment OF
Yearly !, 400 wounded mon, for example,
who passed through the hospital at Siboney
during tho Santiago campaign but three
died of their wounds, fact which speaks
volumes for the efficiency of the army
surgeons
Antisepsis, the small sized, steel jacket
cd bullet and the great velocity impaired
to it by high power guns combine to make
n present day battle humane compared
with tho fighting of the past. Modern
surgery and modern ordnance have to-
gether minimized In remarkable degree
the suffering Of tho wounded. In fact,
wounds received in war may be said to
have been almost entirely robbed of the
horrible character commonly imputed to
them.
Bullets go through mans muscles,
leaving clean wound, which heals in a
few days, or oven penetrate his vitals with
out giving him any great distress And
you are just as safe within close range Of
the enemy as you are mile or more away
if you are not safer-New York Sun.

Canada n Spoiled Child.

Canada has many Of the peculiarities Of
spoiled child and ventures upon many
manifestations of these peculiarities that
would not be attempted but for trust in
the protection Of the mothcrland. Many
of its public men, possibly majority Of
its people, seem to lack all sense of proper
proportion when considering tho adjust
mont of international conditions. The
impossibility of tho successful coercion of
100000 people by 5000, 900 people is
not understood. Foolish dreams of bring
ing the United States to terms by with
holding saw logs, nickel and other natural
products are INDUCED in. Our vagaries
and our senseless impudence are source
of annoyance to English statesmen, who
look at times with ill concealed disgust
upon our actions
Progress, however, is heing made. In
telligenoe and moderation of views are
characteristic Of fair proportion of the
population. Periodical crazes will subside
in due time, and if the United States were
to adopt toward us trade policy fairly
responsive in liberality to our own gen.
eral tariff policy toward them an influ-
ence would be brought into action for pro-
nioting better understanding and more
widely extended friendship, which would
DO more effective than all other influences
combined.-"Worko of the Joint High Com
mission" by Canadian Liberal, in North
American Review.

Proposed Currency Reforms.

Washington, May 22-It is under

QUAY GETS THE NOMINATION.
But He Fails to Get the Full Repub
llcan Vote.

Harrisburg, Jan. 4.--Despite the eff
forts Of the opponents of Senator Quay
u secure postponement Of the sena-
torial caucus until later date, the
ndherents Of the senior senator carried
their point last night and secured the
Endorsement Of their favorite by 100
of the 1874 Republican members Of the
Pennsylvania legislature. This Is 10
less than the number necessary to elect
a United states senator on Joint ballot,
the total membership being 254, Of
which 1926 is majority. The anti-Quay
leaders are jubilant over the result of
the caucus. and claim that the man
they are fighting can never succeed
himself in the senate. On the other
hand, the Quay people and the senator
himself express confidence in ultimate
victory. They say that of the absentees
two members Of the house, Snyder Of
Luzerne and Clark Of Washington, are
kept away by sickness and viii vote for
Senator Quay. This would leave him
II votes short OF the number necessary
to elect.
Senator-elect Martin now secretary
of state did not attend the caucus.
Senator Magee, of Allegheny nominal
ted p. r. Jones. ex-chairman of the
Republican national committee, but
when the vote was announced he NOV
ed that the nomination be made unani-
nous. This motion was carried with
cheers.
Harrisburg, Jan. 5.-The Republican
senators and members who signed the
pledge not to take part in Tuesday
nights senatorial caucus organized
yesterday al the Commonwealth hotel
to keep UP the fight against Senator
Quay until after the supreme court has
disposed of the Peoples bank conspir-
acy cases. The meeting was attended
by nearly all the signers and two others
who did not sign, but kept away from
the caucus.

TO Sell the Philadelphia Record.

Washington. Jan. 5.-The comptroller
of the currency. Charles G.. Dawes. il
Is stated, has declared that at an early
date he will institute legal proceedings
to bring about the sale of the Philadel-
phia Record newspaper. This move will
enable the receiver to protect the in
terests of all those involved, and fix
the amount, over and above the debit
account, which is due to the stock
holders of the paper. Mr.. Dawes has
said that the legal steps involved by a
sale of the newspaper may take a year
to carry out. The comptroller says:
"At the proper time every step will be
taken properly to protect the interest
of the depositors of the Chestnut Street
National bank"

THE EXCITABLE CIBANS
Were Teedlessly Aroused Over the
Santiago Revenues.
HAVANA WILL NOT GET RECEIPTS

The Customs Officers Are Merely In
strucred to Make Weekly Reports.
All Receipts to BE Used For the BEN
eft or All OF Cuba.
Washington. Jan. Safeguarding the
sensational reports from Santiago that
the whole province had been inflameJ
by the recent order Of the war depart
ment concentrating all customs money
TO Havana" thus threatening to throw
thousands OF Cubans out of employ
ment, it may be authoritatively stated
that any excitement existing in San
tiago Is due to a misapprehension Of
the war departments order. IT seems
to have been taken for granted that the
order contemplates sending all cur
rency collected for customs dues to
Havana. and thus cutting off the gov
ernor of Santiago province from the
employment of local labor. The fact %
that the officers in charge of customs
in the various ports of entry are merely
ordered to make weekly reports to the
collector Of customs of the island at
the chief port of all transactions at the
SUPPORT over which he may have juris-
dlctlon, with copies of entries of mer-
chandise duly certified" The customs
from all ports in the island are to be
used for the betterment Of the con-
ditions of the Cubans, not only in Ha-
vana and Santiago, but elsewhere.
Expenditures will be divided as
equitably as possible, so as to relieve
distress existing in various quarters
and to make this relief correspond as
nearly as possible to the emergency.
1t would be just as equitable, 1t is ar
gued for the port of New York to re-
tain all customs funds collected there
for expenditure in the Island of Man
haitian as it would be for Havana or
Santiago or any other town in Cuba to
gobble all of the customs receipts for
expenditure within it's own borders.
SO far as the war department con-
templating any curtailment of the relief
work in Cuba, an order already has
been issued to the governor general
directing him to furnish work to every
able bodied Cuban applying for it at a
fair rate of weekly wages, measured
by Cuban standards. The order sug-
gests that the best lines of employment
are in sanitary work. road improvement
and municipal works of various sorts.
1t is intended to offer a chance for
remunerative work to all who are able
to take advantage of 1T and to cut off
the gratuitous distribution of rations
among those natives able to work for
what they eat. The employment con-
templated will not be offered, however,
to any resident of the island who re-
tains his allegiance to Spain.
The plans so far formulated by the
war department do not touch the pay
ment of the Cuban army, which has
been urgently requested by General
Gomez. but this matter is now under
advisement, and it is nottmpossible that
the war department will hold that it
has quite as much right to apply the
income of Cuba to paying off these
men, and thus giving them a new
start in life. as it has to employ labor
ers on public works with the same gen.
eral end in view.
