was caused by slight blaze in the malson
de ioi known as the "4OO," on Hume

water onto the building and there was
no loss beyond the damage to the paror
! furniture.
! The Anderson & Middleton Lumber c..
has applied to the council for Il fifty We r
franchise fer an electric light system. AS
this is the second franchise for lighting
| the city now before the council, in addi-
! ton to the system already in operation,
it would appear to be good time for the
city fathers to do stroke of business in
the way OF procuring cheap street lights
for the city.
The IIoquiam Washingtonian believes
the building OF the electric road will rap
idly develop the country between the two
cities, but fears that "the natural jealousy
between the two towns will be a barrier"
If any such jealousy exists Hoquiam has
IA complete monopoly of 1t, one cannot
discern a trace OF it in Aberdeen. This
city is too busy improving its condition
to waste time on such improbable bust
ness as jealousy.
