sight of Mr.. Hanson. building inspector,

street. Some time ago Mr.. Hanson In
looking over the very building which yes
terdsy caught Ore. discovered so pounds
Of powder which Mr.. Rich had in his
rooms for filling cartridges to be used by
the Gun club of which the latter was
member. Mr.. Rich was instructed that
IL was against regulations to keep such
quantity Of powder in the building. and
Mr.. Hanson advised Chief Eldridge Of
his action In the matter. The first thing
that crossed the mind of the chief when
the scene of the fire was made known.to
him was whether the powder had In fact
been taken out Of the building. and hs
was greatly relieved when he learned that
Mr.. Rich lost no time in obeying the
building inspectors orders and every dam
ger Of a bad explosion had been removed.

countered heavy weather which continued
until Portland was reached. A succession
of heavy gales followed one another in
rapid succession. The intense cold turned

Ice rs soon rs 10 struck the decks and the
crew was kept at work kesping the ice

during the terrific gales and so great
was the power of the waves that some of

dented In, the cattle pens on deck were
badly demolished and some Of tho sta ,ch-

one ; you'd say' at first
glance it was a rich
watered silk fit for a most
sumptuous gown, but It's
all cotton, not at all ex-
pensive and particularly
good for skirts. This is
made in two weights, 45c
and 72c a yard, "a inches
wide.
Fancy double widths
printed Twills, one side
of checked and striped or
figured gray, the other
