ON ITS OWN MERITS.
The Second Pie Was One That Would
$50 Down" Without the
Makers Praise.

A young man who spent his summer yaca.
ton on a Maine farm says that new in
stances of the thrift and shrewdness of his
landlady are constantly thrusting them
selves upon his attention, relates Youths
Companion.
One day wagon load of unexpected rela-
tives descended on the farm, and the mis-
tress was, as she afterward frankly said,
put to it" to provide enough food for din
ner. She brought forward among other
things an apple pie, which seemed to the
boarder far inferior to the pies she usually
made. But when she served it she spoke Of
her reputation as piemaker.
They do say at the sociables that no
body's pies quite come up to NINE she re-
marked, with beaming smile; land apple
pies are what you might call my speciality.
I've often been asked for the receipt, but I
tell 'em it's knack and judgment does it,
not rule"
The pie disappeared and then, when her
guests were not as hungry as they had been,
she brought forth second pie, faky of
crust and luscious to the taste.
'Why, Aunt Mary" said the youngest
of the narty, boy Of u, Il think this pies
ever SO much better than the other, and
you haven't said a word about it,"
His aunt looked at him without so much
Is a twinkle in her eyes.

Occurred in Cowlitz County.

Seattle, Sept. ia special dispatch
to the Post Intelligencer from Kalama

News has Just reached here that the
forest fires on Lewis rive have wrought
sad havoc. D. l.. Wallace and wife and
two children were burned to death
They were camping in the woods when
caught by the fire. Their wagon was
found burned up, and the charred bod

found without clothing, except gunny
sacks.
Five logging camps are burned out
complete. The worst of the fire is on
Lewis river, about twelve miles above
Woodland. The country is we'll settled
and there are doubtless other casualties
not yet reported. The fire has spread
from Lewis river north to the Kalama
river, and fifty of the finest sections of
timber on the coast are destroyed. 1t

the amount of damage done to property.
Oak Point, about twenty miles below
here on the Columbia river, is totally
destroyed. There are no reports of lives
lost, but loss of property is estimated
at about 100000.
A great fire is also raging on the
Coweeman in the northern part of the
county. Everything in its path that is
combustible is consumed. Nothing like
it was ever seen here by white men.
The air is thick with smoke and falling
ashes. Two men from Barr's camp are
reported missing. People are panic
stricken, and many are almost crazod
from grief over loss of property. Cow

cape until Saturday, when the reports
came thick and fast, and the latest
ones are worst, Five people are dead
and two missing, with only partial re-
ports from the burned district.

TALKED OF ARID LANDS.
George HI. Maxwell Addresses Seattle
Chamber of Commerce.


Seattle, Sept. 13.-"The reclamation
of arid lands of the west will do more
for Seattle, in the way o. increasing
trade and developing commerce, than
all the gold that has come out of Alas
ka, or will come from there" said
George Fl. Maxwell, executive head of
the National Irrigation association, in
a speech delivered at the Chamber of
Commerce to an audience of interested
hearers.
Mr.. Maxwell has made the subject of
irrigation his hobby, and one of the
first impressions he makes upon lis
tener is his intense earnestness. For
three years he worked night and day
trying to make people take an interest
in the subject, and it is only recently
that he is beginning to see some OF the
fruits of his labor. AS he said, the
Eastern centers of population. where
the people know nothing about arid
lands, and care less about them, have
been literally showed under with liter
ature on the subject, until now the
leading magazines and periodicals are
taking the question mp as one in which
their readers are interested, and from
this time on, Mr.. Maxwell thinks. the
going will be easier, though he cautions
against any let up in the campaign Of
education
