tries were idle today. things being
demoralizcd by the fire. The loss is
about $4,000 with something like
$4,000 insurance, though there are dis
crepancies I'm the loss estimates Pres
idcnt Wilson said today the whole loss
aggregated $25.0o0. Other persons
placed the figures much lower. The
only theory suggested is that tramps
started the blaze accidentally. So CRATE
fui was Major Wilson for the assist
ance OF citizens in restraining the fire
that he hired a travelling theatrical
company which tonight gave free
performance to all who cared to visit
the Weldon Opera House.
THE FIRE BRIGADE.
Among those who helped to direct the
fire brigade was Major II. L. Emory,
whose work was highly praised today.
Another fearless fighter was an I'M
known tramp to whom Major Wilson
afterward offered a sum of money. The
tramp at first refused on the ground
that he would get drunk, and then
Major Wilson gave an order for him
TO get a good bed.
The plant that was burned made
crude oil from cottonseed. That and
other plants were operated by 45-foot
water fall which is said to be the
third highest in the United States and
which furnishes 500-horse power The
new cotton gin turns out round bales
from which all the air is pressed. The
electric light plant furnished electric
ity for the town. 1t is soon to be abol-
ished for much larger one. which
Will furnish power to run a silk mill.

The shingle manufacturers Of Wash
ington have formed a trust ani closed
all mills for two weeks. This was done
f1r no other purpose than to cut doan
the supply Of shingles in order that 9
stiff raise in prices, which was scheduled
for April 8, could be maintained, aud
the members Of the trust are candid
enough to admit this without any at
tempt at eq1ivocation. Commenting on
the shutdown the Spokesman-Review
says:
This is well enough Tor the mills in
the shingle trust, but bad enough for the
eastern Washington farmer who needs
shingles. All the trusts are dipping
their greedy hands into his purse. He
pays tribute to the lumber trust, the
shingle trust, the steel trust, the bart
wire trnst, the light trnst, the paint
trnst, the sugar trust, the machinery
trust. But for him the law OF compen,
sation is dead letter. No continuation
advances the prices OF the products ol
