heavily damaged by the hasty removal
of stock and fixtures, when the fire was
approaching.
The work of the Hoquiam firemen, in
extinguishng the fire IN the w. B. Mack
dwelling. saved the Zelasko G stceet
block, the burning of which meant the
loss Of the Commercial block and the
spreading Of the fire northward into the
residence district.
The bank vaults were opened Saturday
/ morning and their contents found intact,
and both those institutions opened for
business Saturday evening, to the great
accommodation OF the public.
The action OF the w. G. 7. u, in serv-
ing coffee and sandwiches during the fire,
was a thoughtful act that was gratefully
appreciated by the almost exhausted
fremen.
The city council held two special meet
ings Saturday, and passed an ordinance
creating a fire limit, extending from the
Chehalis river to the alley north Of Mar
ket street, and from the Wishkah river
to Broadway, within which no wooden
buildings will be allowed.
While some will be adversely affected
by this rule-and few laws OF general APP
plcation fail to do this-it is no doubt
wise move. 1t would be almost criminal
to permit the rebuilding of the wooden
structures and invite repetition of Fri
days experience at any time. To re-
build with wood would operate agans
securing outside capital in the rebuildin g.
fire limit. inquiries are being received
from misunderstanding money from
the different financial centers OF the Pa
cific Coast and the east, and the result
will be greater and better Aberdeen
within year.
The fear that insisting upon trick
buildings will cause loss to lot owners
of small means is largely imaginary.
Every wealth producing, labor employ
ing industry OF Aberdeen remains unin-
jured, with a pay roll OF 100000 a
month, and the building up of the BUSH
ness district with brick and stone means
that vacant lot in that district will, in
a years time, be worth more money than
it was with it's wooden building before
the fire, and when built upon it's rental
value will be increased and the cost OF
insurance greatly decreased.
While the fire has worked hardship
upon the individual losers, the experience
of other cities proves that it will be a
blessing to the city as whole. 1t was
bound to come, and could hardly have
happened at more Opportune time.
Money is plenty; our industries are busy
and growing, to attract money, and the

4 partially destroyed. The handsome
dwelling OF Ed. Hulburt, the opera house
and several dwellings on the north side
Of Wishkah street were destroyed. On
the south side OF this street, every tuild-
ing from G street to Broadway was licked
up by the flames, including the Central
I school. With the flames travelling out
Heron and Wishkah streets, the Aberdeen
General hospital seemed doomed. 1t
was realized that the burning of this IN
stitution meant the indefinite spread Of
the fire westward, and it was saved by
blowing up the dwelling of John Young,
on the opposite side of Broadway, with
gunpowder.
This checked the flames in that direc.
ton, and the efforts OF G.. A. Beardsley,
who kept his buildings wet from the be-
ginning OF the fire, prevented it's spread
on the north side Of Wishkah street. The
dwelling OF Jacob kyser, and Market
streets, took fire from flying sparks, and
only the hardest kind OF work saved the
residences of J.W. Carey and Fla. Hart
and further damage in that direction.
As soon as the magnitude of the fire
became apparent, help was telephoned
for the neighborng towns, and the fire
departments of Hoquiam, Cosmopolis
and Montesano responded and did noble
work in fighting the spread of the flames
The Aberdeen steam fire engine was a
long time in getting up steam, which,
together with the Inadequate pressure on
the hydrants, gave the flames such a
start at the beginning as to render the
fremen almost helpless. The Hoquiam
steam igine did immense work, as did
the hand engine from Cosmopolis, and
the hose brought from Montesano ar
rived at an opportune time, as the long
stretch OF the fire had exhausted all the
hose here.
AS the flames spread the greatest con-
sternation prevailed among the people.
No one could tell where it would be
stopped, and it looked as though the en-.
tire city was doomed. Houseless women
and children were to be seen flying in all
directions, carrying u remnant OF their
household effects. Men carrying mer-
chandise, and trucks and wagons filled
with goods OF all descriptions hastily
loaded, we're seeking places OF safety, but
in uncertainty as to where safety would
be found. Much valuable goods we're
hauled from burning buildings and de-
| posted where it was thought they would
be safe, only to be overtaken by the
flames in short time and destroyed.
The burned district comprised the hear,
OF the business section OF the city, and
nearly ten blocks OF valuable buildings
and contents went up in smoke, entailing
a loss of what is generally estimated tc
be over one.half million dollars
and general feeling OF gloom prevailed
all over the city Friday night. But, by
the next morning this wore off, and the
losers took on look Of determination to

make the best OF their misfortune, and
began to look for Temporary quarters in
which to resume business as best they
, might.
| 1t was estimated that about three hum
dred people were rendered homeless, but
steps were Immediately taken to care for
them by the Y NJ. G. A., the hospitals
and families who had spare room, SO that
no suffering was permitted that could be
relieved.
Colin Mckenzie, Of the Union Transfer
Co.. was caught by the falling wall Of
the Eagle dance hall and seriously in.
juled. He was taken to St. Joseph's hos
pit.l, where it was found that his spine
was so injured as to cause fear fer his re-
covery. j. d. Hanson was slightly in.
jured on the head and body at the same
time. Fire Chief Koehler was struck by
the falling wall of the Pullman saloon,
and knocked out for short time, but
was soon on duty again directing the
gallant firemen.
While assisting in removing goods from
store at G and Wishkah streets, John
Steen was knocked down and run over by
team, and was severely injured on the
head, and one foot He was taken to
the Aberdeen General hospital, and later
to his home, where he is recovering as
rapidly as could be expected. The other
injured were: II. w. Lacy, kicked on
the head by horse A. Bretburg, cut
on the head John Mills, stepped on a
nail, and VIM. Oglesby, slightly suffo-
Gated by smoke.
The Pacific hotel and Crescent hotel,
both OF which were destroyed, were filled
with guests, a number of whom went to
IIoquam to spend the night. At each of
those houses there were a number of
regular boarders, sorne Of whom were
losers to considerable amount, their
effects being burned. Mr.. Keane, sales
man in Kaufman's store, lost library
and other valuables worth $500 at the
Pacific.
Too much praise cannot be given the
6remen for their gallant " ork during the
conhagration. The home department,
and those from Hoquiam, Montesano and
Cosmopolis, worked with will, and to
that work is to be attributed the fact that
there is anything of Aberdeen left, north
and west OF the origin Of the fire.
Mayor West received kilograms from
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and
Olympia, Offering aid, but replied. with
thanks, that the city could take care OF
any cases Of distress that may occur.
Marshal Anstie had number OF special
officers sworn in to guard the goods that
were scattered all over the streets Friday
night and Saturday, and the loss by theft
has been very small, when the circum-
stances are considered. By Saturday
evening almost all those who were burned
out had secured temporary quarters, and
what goods were saved were safely housed.

iINTS Q FARMERS
Seed. Corn.

Nv
Recent experiments at the Iowa ex-
pertinent station show that the cur
rent opinion of farmers that the butts
and tips of the ears should be reject
ed in selecting seed corn was correct.
In this test the result was a percent
age Of termination OF GO for tips, $50
for middles and G2.2 for butts. This
shows plainly a less degree of vitality
IN the m%issnapen butt and tip kernels
than in tie symmetrical and uniform
kernels from the middle Of the ear. A
further continuation of the test showed
q similar difference in early growth in
favor of the kernels from the middle
of the ear.
The best way to select seed corr is
in the ear, for the conformation Of the
ear * as important as that Of the kerr
mel. Long. close fitting kernels are
wanted. So also are ears we'll flied
at the ends and as nearly as possible
cylindrical in form, which gives q lar
ger per cent of normal sized kernels,
for as the taper increases the length
and size Of the kernels decrease. Seeds
men rarely ship seed corn long dis
tances in the ear, but when they do
they ship better cor than that which
ii shelled. This advice. therefore. APP
plies to home selection Of seed rather
than to that shipped in from long dis
tanceS.

Amusing Echo From the Recent

Amusing Echo From the Recent
Papal Ceremony at Rome.
An amusing incident has just come
to light in connection with the recent
great ceremony in st. Peters church at
Rome, writes the foreign correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press.
Among an amazing quantity Of prop
erty lost on that occasion and lodged
with the police was nothing less than
a p%etticoat. The other day a lady
claimant turned up and explained that,
knowing that the pope would extend
his blessing to any objects brought for
that purpose by the faithful, she had
taken on her person half a dozen new
petticoats, which she contemplated
presenting to particular friends as a
souvenir of the papal jubilee.
These p%etticoats she had strung
around her waist for convenience sake
beneath a capacious mantle. One of
the treasures had unfortunately left its
mornings in the intense crush, and the
lady's joy was great at its recovery.

feeds of milk will often have a laxative
effect on the bowels, but l do not be-
lieve this is injurious any more than
is the laxative effect Of the first few
feeds of fresh grass upon a COW. We
would hardly think of refraining from
turning our cows out to grass because
of the laxative effect sure to follow.
Sweet milk seems to have a more pro-

milk. With young chicks in brooders

TO sCALD TRAIN ROBBERS.


Locomotive Attachment Designed by
q Chicago Inventor.
BY e Of 4 recently patented idea
It is now proposed to fight train rob-
bers by the use of a bath Of hot water,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
train robbers in most cases resort to
the strategy of tagging the train and
boarding the engine, which they take
possession Of and take the train to a
convenient place for the continuance
of their work. The invention referred
to contemplated system Of piping en-
circling the engine in such a way that
all Of approach are covered,
and when confronted by the weapons
of a gang Of thieves the engineer.
without the use of his hands and even
when his hands are held over his head
in compliance with their order, can sur-
round the engine with a curtain Of hot
water so that the thieves will be blind
ed and otherwise disabled and forced
to desist from further efforts to secure
their plumber.
This system is designed to protect in
this manner not only the entrances to
the cab of the engine, but also the steps
and other parts Of the tender and the
platform Of the front car. This appa-
ratus may be thrown into operation
from either side Of the engineers cab
In like manner, thus placing this means
Of protection at the command of the
fireman as we'll as the engineer.
The idea, which is the invention Of
George A. Copp Of Chicago, calls for a
system Of piping connected with the
boiler below the water line and carried
around the engine and tender and COW
ering all the vulnerable points. The
pipes are supplied with spoon nozzles
at frequent intervals and are manipu-
lated by three valves convenient to the
feet Of the engineer and fireman. Each
Of the valves controls a different part
Of the system in order that the scalding
water may be directed to that part
from which the advance is being made.
Thus one lever will cause a curtain
Of hot water to fall around the real Of
the cab, while another projects streams
around the forward part Of the engine,
and the third throws a steaming Jet
over the tender to the platform OF the
first car OF the train, which Is generally
the express a and the one which the
robbers would naturally attack at the
outset Of their operations. II the engi-
e finds himself confronted from all
directions, he "a press all three levers
and Immediately surround the engine
with an envelope of hot water and
steam.
