DRY KILN BURNED.
Western Coopsrass Dry Kiln Burned for the
Second Time.

Western Coopsrase Dry Kiln Burned for the
Second Time.
The dry kiln of the Western Cooperage
Co. was discovered to be on fire at II
O'Clock. Saturday night, and the alarm
given. The ball Of the fire department
was at its height, but the boys responded
at once, and were soon on the scene.
This is the same dry kiln that was
burned September 2, and the firemen
saw at once that desperate fight was
on to save the entire plant OF the com.
pany. Word was wired to the Hoquiam
department, and soon the steam fire en-.
CINE from that city was on the way here.
1t was met on the road with Aberdeen
teams, and was soon doing good work.
As the tide receded the engine was moved
to the Lindstrom shipyard, and but little
delay was caused by the move.
The kiln contained five car loads of
hemlock barrel headings, and ten car
loads of shingles, and, when the sides of
the building were opened, the heat was
intense. By the hardest kind of work,
the fire was confined to the kiln and its
contents, and the balance of the plant
saved. Too much credit cannot be given
the firemen for their gallant efforts, a
large share of which is due to the Ho.
quiam department. By morning the
plant was known to be saved, but, to
prevent any further risk, hose was kept
playing on the burning kiln and vicinity
until noon.
The company had only got to running
in good shape after the former fire, and
had expected to make record this
month. The loss of the kiln will again
delay their operations, as the mills can
not be worked to their full capacity
without drying room for the product.
While the insurance on the former fire
had been adjusted, it had not been set.
tied, and the amount of insurance re-
ceivable for this, the second fire, will be
small, compared with the loss, which is
estimated at about $1,000.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
United States Supreme Court, Which Is oil
Great importance to Shippers.

United States Supreme Court. Which Is oil
Great importance to Shippers.
In the opinion handed down last week
by Judges Gilbert, Ross and Hawley, the
decision of the circuit court for the west
ern di. ision of Washington was reversed,
and the case remanded for further pro-
ceedings.
The case is that of S. A. Gibbs, doing
business under the name and style of S.
A. Gibbs & Co.. plaintiff in error, va. E.
I. McNeeley ct. al, associated together
under the name and style of the WASH
ington Red Cedar Shingle Manufacturers
Association, defendants in error. The
plaintiff in error brought an action to re-
cover damages against the defendants in
error under the Sherman antitrust act
of July Fl, 1890. He alleges that he has
been dealer in Washington red cedar
!. shingles At the city Of Tacoma. He
tf1naacted business of $3.50, 900 year,
ard from it derived an annual profit OF

Te Red Cedar Shingle Manufacturer
Ase9ciation is an organization comprising
~ embers, and its object was to issue
Pmtime to time minimum price, be-
low which all members agreed not to sell
shingles to dealers or wholesalers, and
to close down all mills necessary in order
that the output of red cedar shingles
might be curtailed when it was feared
that thesupply might exceed the demand.
On November IL, 1899, the order was is
sued for all mills in the state of WASH
ington to close down, which they did for
period of sixty days. By this step, it
is alleged, 8. A. Gibbs, the plaintiff in
error, was interrupted in his business
and damaged to the extent of 81 900. 1t
is further alleged that the defendant in
error attempted to injure the plaintiff to
the extent of $4,000.
When tried before the district court,
Judge Bellinger directed the jury to bring
in verdict for the defendant, on the
ground that the proofs did not sustain
the course of action. and that the combi-
nation described in the complaint was
not one in the restraint of interstate COM
merce, so as to give right of action
under the provision of the act of July IL,
1880. to one that has been Injured by q
resolution passed and circulated denounc
ing him for cutting prices, and also on
the ground that in the opinion of the
court the allegations, in the fourth cause
OF action were insufficient to constitute a
cause of action.
The opinion of the court was delivered
by Circuit Judge Gilbert.

OF the UNION, and they are valuable
addition to the business center of
Princeton, which is growing year by
year. These buildings are located on
the street leading to the depot and
have set pace for business down this
thoroughfare, which bids fair to be-
come quite a business street in few
years. There is little room for any fur
ther extension of business houses on
Main street, and as trade grows and ex-
pands, as it is bound to, business will
naturally gain foothold on the depot
thoroughfare. Mr.. Eaton, whose build
ing is two stories, occupies the corner.
and he is fitting up the new building
with all modern improvements. He
will open private bank in the corner
store which he is having fitted up spec
tally for this purpose. In the rear is a
store which will be used this winter
for library and rest room which will

very few of the smaller inland cities of
the State, and we think as matter of
fact that it cannot be beaten by any
places of it's size in the volume of bust
ness that it does each year.
The next improvement in order of
Importance is the remodeling and en-
larging of the Commercial hotel,
which was bought by the Commercial
Hotel Co. last summer and improve
ments to the amount of Sl4, 900 were
put on the building which was almost
rebuilt, two large wings being added
to the hotel, one on the west and one
on the south, more than doubling the
capacity of the hotel and making of it
one of the most convenient and COM
Portable hotels of any outside. of the
large cities. The hotel has been
equipped with all modern i'm
provements, including bath rooms,
electric lights, steam heat, sewerage,
etc. A reading room, quiet and re-
moved from the noise of the lobby, has
been provided for the comfort of the
travelling public, and the management
of the hotel is sparing no pains to make
the Commercial a real genuine home
like place for those who must travel.
A cut of the new Commercial appears
on this page.
The. next improvements in order of
Importance are the three new brick
buildings erected by G.. A. Eaton, VIM.
Cordiner and F. L. Ludden, and cost
ing $4,000. The buildings are shown

Great Building Records.
The Building Record of Princeton for
1902 Amounts to $Io5,o35==A Record
to be Proud of.

Not since the rebuilding of Princeton
after the destructive fire of 1894 has
there been so much money expended in
new buildings and general improve
ments as has been spent in the past
year in Princeton. A building and i'm
provement record of over 100000 is
a very flattering record for place that
is not experiencing any building boom,
and the record is certainly one to be
proud of. The record shows an invest
ment of $1,000 in new buildings and
$22, 675 in building improvements. OF
course the handsome new station is the
leader of the building record of the
past year, and Princeton has cause to
be very proud of it's new station, men,
tion of which is made elsewhere in this
edition. A station of this character
strikingly reflects the progressive
spirit of Princeton which does a bust
ness each year that is surpassed by but

Buck has built a $1,000 house, while
O. H. Buck has made some extensive
improvements to his farm property.
Ed Anderson has put up new barn, at
a cost of $500. while Olof Anderson of
Glendorado has also built fine new
barn which cost him nearly 1000.
N. M. Nelson of Glendorado has put on
an addition to his barn at a cost of
$500. Another Glendorado farmer who
has invested in new buildings the past
year is T. Olson, who built a new
house at cost of $1,000. Mr. Olson is
a new settler in that section. moving
there last spring.
Other improvements out that way
are those made by James A. Kenely
who during the last year built some
fine cattle sheds, while John Deshaw
built farm house costing about 5000.
Peter Rob ideau erected a new barn
that shows substantial progress while
Chas. Grow made quite a number of
improvements, building a new machine
shed and placing an addition on his

of the farmers ample funds to make
many farm improvements, and the
farmers spent their money to good ad-
vantage.
G. N. Parks who lives on section six
in Wyanett, built $4,000 residence
this year. It is two stories with l8-foot
posts and makes him fine farm home.
A. J. johnson near Princeton put on
an addition to his house.
Up in the Germany district there
were many farm improvements both in
farm houses and barns. Among the
new barns put up were those on the
farms of Frank Schilling, Aug Thoma,
Ed Benseman and Jim Chisholm.
They all put up large substantial barns
costing over thousand dollars each.
Jerry Kalkman put up farm house
costing 81, 900.
Will Briggs made several improve
ments to his farm buildings; among
them an addition to his house.
J. D. Tam, who last year bought the
Burgan. and Cravens farms south of
Princeton, has made many improve
ments to his farm property. He has
put up new brick building and put on
additions and made repairs to the
amount of over s., 500.
The improvements in and around

while there will be a gallery with a
seating capacity of about the same as
the parlor or lecture room. In the
basement there will be large Sunday
school room, with parlor and library
connected Herewith. There will also
be a kitchen and pantry, and room
for the heating and fuel plant. The
basement will be light and dry. The
building committee of the new church
is composed of A. w. Woodcock. w.
ID. Townsend, E. M. Farnham. and
n. E. Jesmer.
Another substantial Improvement
the past year was the construction of
the new brick livery and blacksmith
shop by T. H. Galley on the corner
south OF the starch factory.
Over twenty new houses have been
built in Princeton the past year and
still there is big demand for houses

Spencer Brook the past year have been
quite heavy and would indicate that
the Brook people are not by any means
behind the times. During the past
year there have been eight new resi-
dences built while as many more have
received repairs and improvements.
Five or six new barns have also been
built in that vicinity, while many
smaller farm buildings have been put
up by the farmers: It is said that the
improvements in the vicinity of the
Brook will amount during the past
year to nearly $4,000. The creamery
at that point has paid out to the farm
ers close to $4,000, "a snug sum of
money to receive from Spencer Brook
COWS. The farmers of the Brook and
vicinity certainly are prospecting.
In the section west of Princeton
there have been many improvements
by the farmers: In Greenbush, George

be supported by private contributions
from the merchants. Mr.. Eaton is
having the living rooms on the second
floor fitted up with all the comforts of
home and his family will reside there.
Adjoining the bank is the new post
office building of Postmaster Cordiner
who recently moved into the same, and
where he is able to care for the rapidly
growing postofice business in much
better shape. Adjoining the postofice
on the west is the new store of F. l..
Ludden into which Mr.. Ludden moved
short time ago. His building makes
him, fine quarters for his business
which he had hard work taking care Of
in the small quarters where he had his
business up on Main street.
The other improvements are numer-
Gus and run up into the thousands Of
dollars very fast. There is the annex
to the Evens: Hardware Co. S store built
last summer, and the work that has
been put on the new church that the
Methodists are building here at cost
of $1,000. The wor TX on the church is
well under way and it will be COM
pleted, and dedicated next year. The
edifce is being erected on the north
west corner of the same block on which
the old church is located. The loca-
! tion is good one. The church is be-
ing built of Princeton cream brick do
mated by the brick yards. The plans
provide for an auditorium with seat
ing capacity of 200. A parlor in the
rear of the church can be thrown open

FARM IMPROVEMENTS.

Farmers are Showing Evidences of Pros
perity Around Princeton.
No better index of the prosperous
condition of the farming community
around Princeton is needed than that
OF the many substantial improvements
that are constantly being made by the
farmers themselves. On every hand
are evidences of many very substantial
improvements, and the present year
has been a good one in this respect.
On every road leading out of Princeton
new farm buildings can be seen in all
directions. Last year the exception
ally high prices of potatoes gave many

and twenty more could be built and oc-
cupied as soon as finished. The large
number of new families constantly NOV
ing into Princeton is creating a big de-
mand for houses. If Princeton grows
as rapidly in the future as it has in the
past it will not be many years before it
has population of 5000.

British ForceI Not Pursued.

LONDON, Oct. PA dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Simla, India, re-
ports that Colonel Swayne and his
forces are continuing their march from
Bohotle to Berbera. Somaliland, east
Africa, and that they are not pursued.
The correspondent Of the Daily Mail
who is with the force under Colonel
Swayne says in communication to
his paper that the Mad Mo1lah's origi-
nal idea to hold and fortify Mudug,
where he would command the only
wells available and compel Colonel
Swayne to attack him at enormous dis
advantage, was good one, but it was
spoiled by an unexpected drought and
terrible heat, which dried up the wells
and killed the mollah's live stock and
ponies by the thousand. Finally in the
beginning of October it was reported
that the mollah's forces were scat
tered and that the mollah himself had
only few rifemen left with him. 1T
was then that Colonel Swayne decided
to advance on the chance that deci-
sive engagement would result in the
mOllah's capture.
