FIRE AT ABERDEEN, WASH.
Four Lives Lost and Several People
Injured.

1
Injured.
Aberdeen, Wash.-Fire which burn
ed from 8 o'clock in the morning un-
til 2 in the afternoon, caused at least
four deaths and destroyed property
valued at approximately $1,000,000.
1t practically wiped out the main bust
ness street of the town, which is built
mostly of wood. In the burned district
are included ten blocks of business
houses and residences. Not more than
one-half of the loss is covered by in
surance, for the reason that the in
surance companies have refused to
carry any greater risk on account of
the infiammable material of which all
the buildings in Aberdeen are con-
structed. Every business in Aberdeen
is loss, whether by fire, water, re-
moval breakage, or loss by theft. Not
anticipating that the flames could get
beyond the fire departments control
many waited until the fire was close
upon them before starting to move
out. The streets were soon strewn
and Uttered with all kinds of ma
terial and the rush and haste of teams
and people in every direction caused
great confusion.
The fire started in the old Mack
building on Hume street, owned by
Oscar L. Grain, which has been re-
garded as a fire trap and dangerously
constructed building. 1t was three
stories high and was occupied by nu-
merous single men who cooked their
own meals, chiefly on oil stoves. 1t
was in a room of the third story where
the flames started, and the interior
of the building was mass of flames
when an alarm was sent in. The build
ing was leased by Louisa Selberg, who
had just fitted it up with new furni-
ture. She escaped with her children,
saving no clothes.
-Four lost their lives in the fire. They
are:
Charles Ralfo.
Daniel Webster.
Calvin Mckenzie.

The injured: John Steen, kicked in

Oriental Traffic.

Jim Hill Now Has Clear Sailing In
4 Oriental Traffic.
i New York, Oct 19.--J. d. Farrell OF
Seattle, assistant to President Hill OF
the Great Northern, who spent several
months in Asia arranging future trade
for Mr. Hills big ships, was in New
York this week. He says a declara-
ton Of peace in the rate war between
the Pacific Mail & Oriental Steamship
company, with complete restoration
OF rates, clears the atmosphere for
development Of oriental trade In the
future. Mr.. Hills Asiatic service be-
gins next spring, the second freighter
being launched in December. He says
the deal with the Grand Trunk rail
road, whereby the latter will send all
its Pacific freight via the Northern
Securities lines and Great Northern
steamships to Asia is farreaching.
1t Is considered here that this is a
declaration of war against the Ca
madam Pacific to draw traffic from the
latter's oriental vessels, and will add
much tonnage to the Hill ships in both
directions. The Grand Trunk has had
an agreement with the Burlington for
interchange of traffic at Chicago for
some time. Mr.sFarrell says the Great
Northern ocean line will do nothing
to demoralize rates again. There is
talk here Of secret pool which will
have an understanding with the Ca
madam Pacific, If possible, for an
equitable division of tonnage. It is
not illegal to form an ocean combina-
ton.
Federal Officers Mistake.
San Francisco. Oct. 19.-Through a
blunder Of a federal law officer, two
men under sentence of imprisonment
were released by the court of appeals.
The prisoners are Charles Mackey and
J. Archie Mcleod. They were con-
victed Of having, on July 26, 1902, fred
with revolver and shotgun upon G.
4. Stranahan, superintendent of the
Nez Perce reservation in Idaho while
Stranahan was making search for
spirituous liquors which had been I'M
lawfully introduced into the reserya-
ton. The prisoners were prosecuted
under section of "An act to further
prevent smuggling and for other pur-
poses."
Judge Gilbert, in rendering the opin-
ion OF the court Of appeals, said:
1T is as clear as words can make
7 that the act refers only to offenses
committed against officers of the Gus
ON, their deputies and persons as
sisting them in the execution of their
duties, and that it has no application
to an act done in resistance of an In
dian agent in making searches or seiz-
res upon an Indian reservation"
