Fire in the Steam Laundry.

Fire in Walter Dickey's steam laun-
drv caused lots of excitement, and did
probably $40 damage, about s o'clock
Tuesday evening. Jack Bagley was
there again with his chemical fire ex-
tinguisher and soon had the flames
subdued, but not until some betting and
pulleys had been destroyed and por-
lions of the machinery broken. No
clothing was damaged.
Gasoline from the engine had been
leaking and had filed the whole build
ing with gas. When Walter entered
with some clothes and lighted Ian
tern, the gas ignited and in a moment
the whole interior was ablaze. Walter
lost no time in looking for the door,
but bolted right through pane ofglass.
Some amusing incidents happened
during the course of the fire. Sen
Fouts stood on the blazing roof and
yelled loudly for water. After Bob
Husbands had performed the nervy
act of carrying a burning gasoline en-
gine into the street, some one threw a
bucket of water upon it, while Fouts
was still calling for water on the roof.
This made Joe Wilson lean against the
fence and laugh.

The writer was mistaken when he
said we had had but one application for
our school. There have been some four
or five, but no steps have been taken to
hire any one yet. We want to have
some six or seven months school, and if
there is any teacher without a position
she might do well to send in her appli-
cation. AS we want good teacher, we
do not expect to get one for nothing.
All those who signed the subscription
paper to build school house are noti-
fed to pay up, as this money is needed
in constructing the new house.
Dennis Dodson will haul wood for Ros-
well Shelley, the proprietor of the Little

who give more than passing notice to
what is to be seen along the line they
are travelling. They are what is termed
tie treating retorts, and we're installed
there about six months ago, the plant,
including electric power, costing about
100000, and being one of three which
are used on the coast, the others being
on the Southern Pacific and Union. Six
or seven hundred ties are loaded on to
an iron carriage, dumped into the re-
torts, the fluid, which is composed
principally OF creosote, is turned on and
they remain in the bath about six hours,
when they are taken out and piled up to
season. At present they have $1,000
ties at Wyeth which have undergone
the process. II Is said that such a
treatment will extend the usefulness of
the ties from three to four years

The 1905 fair commission receives some
curious offers OF oddities. Some weeks
ago q fir tree 400 feet high and not over
36 inches IN diameter at the base, was
reported, and later, another tree, one
half of which was petrified and the 9TH
er half still tree, was offered to the COM
mission. These seem a little out Of the
common, but Oregon produces such won
derful things that, in all probability, the
commission will have these things in
vestigated to see if they are what is
claimed for them.

EFFORT BEING MADE
TO RELEASE DIETRICH

1t is highly improbable that in any
event the outcome Of the appeal will
have a real bearing upon the gam
bling law.
Graves & Graves appeared this
morning before Superior Judge Ken
nan prepared to move for the filing
and approval Of q bond, but Judge
Kennan preferred not to 60 into the
case to the extent Of taking action
in any Of the appeal proceedings and
therefore postponed the hearing on
motion for appeal until next Wednes-
day morning. when Judge Richardson
is expected to be present.
The terms under which Dietrich
offered himself are said to be Sc per
day for each day Of Imprisonment.
1t was intended that he should be
released on bail. so that in case of
an adverse decision Dietrich could
leave for parts unknown. Whether
there will be any gamblers left to
pay Dietrich when he IL released is
problematical.

Charge Against Falk
Has Been Dismissed

On motion Of Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney r. M. BARNARD, Superior
Judge KEENAN, this morning dismissed
the charge Of rape which had been
filed some two months ago against
Peter Falk of Tyler.
The evidence against Falk was
weak, and it was considered that
there was no chance for a conviction.
especially in view Of the fact that
the prosecuting witness, a man nam
ed Harris, could not be produced in
court.
Harris was himself arrested at the
time of the alleged commission Of the
crime and was held by Justice Of
the peace on a charge Of assault
and battery. He was being brought
from Tyler to Spokane by a constable,
but eluded the officer by jumping
from the train. He has not since been
heard from. i
