Fifty-two thousand one hundred and
twenty is the figure which, according
to the 1902 directory, represents the
number of people who reside in the
city of Spokane. This is an increase
over last year of zoos residents.
News reached Spokane, Tuesday, OF
one of the worst disasters in the bis.
tory OF the Occur d'Alenes, which &C.
Cured the night before at Mace,
Idaho. Twelve men are in the hos
pital and four we're burned in the
clearinghouse Of the Standard mines
owned by Finch & Campbell, of Spo-
kane. The boarding and bunk houses
lodged about GO men Monday night.
A little after midnight flames burst
out in the boarding house, spreading
quickly through the halls and shutting
off all escape except through the win
dows. Four men are missing. It is
believed they could not be aroused in
time or attempted to escape through
the Railways and were burned to death.
Twelve men who jumped from the
windows were injured, some by flames,
others by falling on the rocks. It is
believed several will not recover.
A narrow escape from death in the
icy current of Swauk slough befell
Homer Mcdonald and Harry Cadien,
two we'll known Seattle men, Sunday
afternoon. They ran on . snag and
were overturned in . Peterborough
canoe and only saved themselves from
drowning by wonderful will-power and
great exertions. They were then left
alone in the stream. 800 yards from
shore. BY herculean efforts they sue
ceedsd in laundering to place where
the tops of some willows protruded
above the water. Hanging to these
twigs, they pulled themselves over the
submerged thicket until they wore At
last able to touch bottom. Against .
heavy current in ice.cold water this
was an awful task, and the two men
were worn out when they reached their
depth. Then they had TO wade, some.
times breast, at others neck.deep, in
the current, through thick patch of
brush whose tangled stems they could
not see. until they finally reached the
bank. II was the work OF hours, and
more than once they were on the point
OF giving up. That they were ever
able TO reach land is regarded ~ little
less than miracle by those who are
familiar with the place and it's dangers.

DEATH OF PROF. puRerrE.
The Shock Came - q Stroke From the
Summer Sky.

summer SAy.
The death of Prof. Conrad w. Du.
rette, Superintendent Of the Olympia
Public Schools Wednesday morning,
about 9 O'Clock came 40 . shock to
the whole community, - his illness
Was very brief and not deemed serious
till near the end. This illness was
typhoid fever which finally developed
that dread disease pneumonia, that is
generally 20 fatal to victims in middle
life.
Mr.. Durette was born in Illinois,
and was AZ years OF age. His educa-
ton began in the common schools of
that State and terminated by q course
ct Hedding College and . special term
in Tabor College, Of Iowa. His whole
life has been devoted to educational
work, in Illinois, Iowa, Oregon and
this State. He has the past Is years
devoted much Of his time in summer
to pedagogic work in Teachers Insti.
tutes.
He came to Oregon in 1896, and
served - principal Of schools at Wood.
stock, Oregon City and Mt. Tabor.
In 1897 he took his degree At the Uni
versity Of Oregon. and was for . time
editor Of the Oregon Teachers' Month.
". In 1900 he was . candidate on
the Democratic ticket for Superin.
tendsnt Of Multnomah county. and
though defeated polled his party
strength.
Prof. Durette was elected principal
of the Olympia schools, in the fall Of
1900. He was . man of positive con-
victions, and throwing his whole soul
into the task before him, he made
such changes in the personnel Of
teachers as seemed to him for the
best interests Of the service. This
very naturally aroused considerable
opposition from those deposed, their
relatives and friends, but it is now
very generally conceded that, though
he may have made mistakes in iudg.
meut, his course was prompted by a
conscientious sense of duty. Certain
it is that the schools have not suffered
any diminution of their efficiency
under him.
The. heartfelt sympathy OF the
whole community is felt for the
stricken wife. who for twenty years
has shared with him the vicisitudes oil
life. Tho affection that has fallen
upon her Is the darker that il came
like . flash at midday, and that no
other relative is near.
Funeral services will be held under
charge Of the Masons, tomorrow fore
noon, and Immediately thereafter
Mrs. D. will start with the body for
Des Moines, Iowa.

summed by society in general, is much
sought for b. the boys of rural Maine
because its oil is worth about five dol

and its pelt sells for from rs cents TO
two dollars. according to color and
thickness of the fur.
me skunk industry is a bigger thing
IN Maine than most people suppose
he annual cash returns being ahou,
$4,000. One man in The town of Pros
peet sold last year $500 worth of pelts
and $50 worth ni oil. and others have
done as well, while +Ae boys who earn
the price of their winter clothing in
this way are numbered by thousands.
Black skunk pelts are worth about
four dollars apiece. !
The purchasers have the skins ]
tanned and dyed black, and sell them
to fnrriers. who make them up. under
various names, for he udornmtnt and
