BIG FIRE AT HOQUlAM.
The Weston Basket Factory Burned Monda,
Morning.

About o'clock Monday morning fire
was discovered in the main building of
the Weston Basket and Manufacturing
Company's plant at Hoquiam, which
caused the loss of the entire plant,
except the boiler room and blacksmith
shop. The plant was constructed in
1898, and consisted of one building 5Ox-
so, one story: warehouse 5Oxl5O, and
main machinery building with two
floors, 64xl40, together with dry kiln,
sheds, etc. The loss will aggregate $780,
900, with light insurance, the amount
OF which cannot be ascertained, as it is
written in San Francisco by the home
office OF the company.
Sunday evening some belts were being
repaired by candle light when dust
caught fire and was promptly extin-
} guished. These men cautioned the night
watch to guard the spot knowing how
fine dust would smolder and again break
out. The Waterman visited that section
several times, but discovered no signs of
fire or smoke until after midnight, when
it was beyond his control.
This plant lies between the F.. X.
Wood Lumber Company's mill and store
and the Hitchings shipvard, and the
wind was in the most favorable quarter
to prevent further destruction, blowing
from the northeast, so as to carry much
OF the flames over the river. Large en-
bers, however, were deposited freely at
the shipyard, where one vessel is nearly
completed on the ways and another well
begun. The shipyard crew carefully
guarded their plant, and the fire was
confined to the basket factory, although
at times the shipyard was in great
danger.

Mrs. c. ". Miller Dead.

Mrs. Chas. w. Miller died Tuesday
evening at the home OF her father, Geo.
II. Emerson, at Hoquiam. Death was
caused by blood poisoning, and was

Portland aided the local doctors without
avail.
Mrs. Miller was 2S years of age, and
was married in May, 1900, to Chas. w.
Miller, cashier of the Aberdeen State
Bank, and leaves an infant child. The
funeral services took place this afternoon
at Hoquiam, Rev. II. D. Crawford Off

have the sincere sympathy OF their
numerous friends on Grays Harbor.

A POOR AUTHORITY.

Tie Vidette is authority for the state
ment that the chairman of the board Of
county commissioners has VIRTUALLY in
formed" party that the county was
now ready to build the Aberdeen road,
provided this city would build to its city
limits. This is a somewhat tardy and
informal recognition CT petition signed
by about 1000 citizens of the county,
that was filed nearly year ago, and at
tention is called to the fact that the city
of Aberdeen filed with the board OF
commissioners last spring copy of a
resolution OF the city council, pledging
the city to connect with county road
whenever the county would indicate its
intention to build the road, and specify
the point of connection.
1t is cheap subterfuge to attempt to
throw the blame for the failure to notice
the greatest petition ever presented to
the board, upon this city after ignoring
not only the petition but the official
pledge of the city for almost year. And
again, how are we to know that this
virtual information" from the chair
man (who appears to be suffering from
the delusion that he is the whole board)
will be of any more value than was the
"vrtual information" from the same
source lately given to G. S. Kendall, of
this city, and which costs that gentle
man about $1,000. Oh! no, something
more tangible than "virtual informa-
ton" from that gentleman will be
pocacoory

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY, JAN. 80, 1909
THAT MAYORALTY TIE.

The Daily Bulletin is authority for tn
statement that MIR. Anstie will refuse tt
draw lots to decide the tie vote for hi
and Mr.. Maley for the office of mayor
and that paper appears to discover fur
Their complications OF the matter through
the adoption of the resolution by the
city council, citing Messrs Maley ant
Anstie to appear next Saturday evening
to decide the tie by casting lots.
The fears of the Bulletin seem to be
founded upon misapprehension of the
section of the general election laws gov.
erning the procedure in cases of tic
votes. The presence of either party is
not material. The general election laws
requires the county auditor to notify the
parties to appear at certain time, and
at that time he (the auditory "shall pro-
coed publicly to decide by lot which OF
the persons so having an equal number
of votes shall be declared duly elected"
Thus it will be seen that the notice given
to the parties to appear is simply to
notify them of what is to take place, that
they may be present if they so desire,
and see that the action of the official
is fair.
That the action of the council, in pro-
viding for the settlement of the tie, is
entirely proper under the law there is
small room for dispute. The law regn-
lating elections in cities OF the third class
provides that call elections shall be held
in accordance with the general election
laws of the state, so far as the same may
be made applicable" and that this pro-
cedure is the correct one, under that
law, has been decided in the affirmative,
in the case of Gum VS.. Mack, from this
city, by the superior court
The contention OF Mr.. Anstie's attor-
neys, that the matter being on appeal to
the supreme court removes it from con-
troll of the council, will not be borne out
by the rules laid down by City Attorney
Shields in his report on the Stewart case,
in the opinion filed with the council last
Saturday night. In that opinion Mr..
Shields, in setting forth his reasons for
dismissing the appeal OF the city in that
case, states that the filing of an appeal
and supersedeas bond DID NOT act as a
stay OF the judgment, further than to
stay the execution for costs. In the
opinion, Mr.. Shields dwells at some
length upon this point, and quotes
authorities in support of his position.
The HERALD fails to see the necessity
for any further bother about the matter.
If the council will proceed to carry out
the course adopted, unanimously, at the
last meeting and decide the tie. they and
the city will have done with the vexa-
tious matter, and if any of the parties
still feels aggrieved he can continue the
litigation on his own account, and per.
nit the council to look after the import
ant affairs of the city instead of frittering
away its time with unimportant personal
disputes.
