Mr.. Pullman expects to have
tie building ready i'll six weeks
The exterior of the building Will
be of the old Louisiana colonial
design, with futed pillows.
Though it was originally pro
posed to cook rice in all its forms
and distribute it freely, it has de
cided to run the kitchen on the
order of a restaurant. as the free
distribution would attract immense

\ CLEVER TRICK.

A few days ago there was quite
a bit of excltmentin Jeanerette by
the reported striking of a gas well
by MI. Bud Rayder. He had sunk
a pipe about 20 feet deep when he
announced his find. Large mum
bers visited the well, when a loren
was applied to the top of the pipe.
To the enthusiastic delight of all
quite a flame burned above the
open end of the pipe for several
hours, when it gradually went out.
Mr.. Rayder then explained that III
order to have little fun he had
: uffed some old sacks down the
pipe and had then ponted III q
couple of gallons of gasoline.

LOSS MAY BE $4,000
Disaster Came In Busy Season When
Mills Were Running Night
and Day.

The saw and planning mills OF the
Clatsop Mill Company were destroyed
by fire last night and but for a favor

hames were burning fercest the en-

together with a large part Of the lum-
Der stored IN the mill yards. AS II is,
the splendid mills and their equipment
~ almost a total loss and five freight
cars in the loading shed were also
destroyed. The loss will approximate
$4,000 though no definite estimate
could be made last night. The plant
is well insured but not sufficient TO
cover the entire loss.
The origin OF the fire Is uncertain.
Tor some time past the mill has brtn
running night and day to keep up with
orders and last night there was shift
Of seventy-fiye men working. Shortly
before 10 O'Clock flames were noticed
in the engine room and before any effort
could be made to subdue them. the
room was blazing mass and the men
had barely sufficient time to escape
from the building.
The fire alarm whistle attached to
the plant was sounded and the entire
fire department was summoned. BY
the time they reached the mills the
flames were beyond control and the on
ly thing possible was to prevent them
from spreading If possible. The mill.
which was two story structure, burn
ed rapidly and fear was expressed for
other buildings in the nelghborhood.
To the east was the box factory which
has burned twice previously. and 1t
seemed like the intervention Of Pr0vi-
dence that a strong east wind should
blow up. at a time when 1t could do
the most good. With this assistance
the firemen had no difficulty In keep
ing the flames under control. or the
freight cars in the shed three were
loaded. the two empty cars having
been run in when the down freight ar
rived in the afternoon.
1t was impossible to estimate the
value of the finished lumber or raw
material lost, but a conservative APP
proximate estimate places the entire
damage at $4,000, though it may ex-
ceed that sum. The mills have been
built for sixteen years and the oper-
ating company is composed Of Mrs. w.
S. Kinney, manager; H. F. Prael, pres
dent: NJ ]. and L. C. Kinney.
Several freight cars on the tracks
opposite the mills were damaged slight
ly by the flames.

Appreciatlve Tribute TO Former Asto-

The following beautiful tribute TO ihis

our state president and beloved SIS
ter. Mrs. Narcissa White-Kinney. the
Central W. c. T. y. Of Albany feels
a sense Of personal bereavement, as well
ns "A realization OF the great loss the
state has suffered by her carly removal
from US.
on her first occurring tour through
Oregon she gained the esteem and love
Of all she met. and when II was un-
derstood that she was TO return and
make this htr home there was general
rejoicing among those who were labor
lng in the same cause.
Her election and continued re-eslc-
ton to the highest position in the state
w. G. T. u. was but slight acknow-
Judgement OF their appreciation Of her
peerless abilities and unfaltering de-
votiUn to the cause Of righteousness
and temperance. In speaking Of her
as a friend. one who was permitted to
know her better than most Of us. says:
Those who were privileged to be
counted as personal friends Of Mrs.
Kinney feel their loss most keenly. as
her loyal loving comradeship was
something more than ordinary friend

and had In 1t that element which ap-
pealed to the highest nature and made

things that would benefit mankind and

or her public work we quote from
a writer In the Midland. of Chicago:
she was one OF the most gifted and
brilliant speakers Of the whole coterle
engaged In reform work and was ev-
erywh here hailed with delight Her
presence was magnetic, her manners
gracious and winning. her arguments
clean cut and forcible. and her fer
vor and enthusiasm swept aside all
prejudice, and left her mistress Of her
situation"
In her death Oregon has sustained
an irreparable loss. Not only does the
temperance cause lose its most able ad-
vocate and its wisest counsellor but
the church loses one of It's most conse-
Grated and efficient helpers. Educa
tional institutions also suffer loss. as
she was always on the alert to further
their interests in any way possible.
The social circle has also to yield up
one OF its most brilliant ornaments.
Her influence will long be felt through
out the state.
The Rev, Huber Ferguson, of Port
land. writes: The cause OF Christ in
the Northwest. both in its negative as
pect, which is the destruction OF the
powers OF evil, and in its positive as
pect, which is the widening and deep
ening Of the rule of grace in human
hearts has lost one Of its great cham
pions"
We. in our weakness are lead TO ex-
claim Help. Lord, for the Cody
man ceaseth, for the faithful fail from
among the childre nof men," But we
know that the work is His and though
sorrowful bow in submission, knowing
that though the workers fall the work
will go on.
