WEST BURKE.

The village was awakened about
quarter OF three Friday morning by the
ringing of the church bell. A few minutes
previous to the ringing of the bell, many
were awakened by loud explosion and
in an instant the set OF buildings owned
by Jason Allard was in flames, and d
very short time the building owned by
DIR. Bolton caught fire from the Allard
building, which was very close to 1T.
Then the fire crossed the road and it was
soon evident that the Universahst church
was doomed. At 4.3O these three build
ings were in ashes. The fire engine did
good service in saving Fred Porters
house which stood close by Mr.. Allard S
on the south; had this building gone the
fire would have been much more disas
trous. Fortunately there was no wind
and about every man in the village
turned out to help, or the entire village
would probably have been wiped out.
The building owned by Jason Ailard was
a two story frame and was occupied by
himself alone. He was dealer in window
frames, blinds, lumber, ETC., and his house
was we'll filled with these supplies. The
fire originated in this building from some
unknown cause. The insurance on this
house and contents was $1,000. From
the Bolton house, owned by Mrs. 6. w.
etc, was carried out. Insurance on the
house and contents was $1,000. The up
stairs tenement in the Bolton house was
occupied by Mrs. Laurinda Marshall.
Only small lot of her goods were saved.
She lost about $500 worth, with an in
surance OF $500. Her sister, Mrs. Fannie
Sargent, had been spending the winter
with her, and her loss is about 500,
with no insurance. The Universalist
church was total loss with an insur-
ance of $4,000.
Death of Mr.. Packer.
Fl. II. Packer, who has been very i'll
for several months, died last Wednesday
morning. He was born in Newark 60
years ago last September and aside from
few years spent in Whitehall, N. Y,
most of his lite has been spent in Burke,
first in Burke Hollow and.then in West
Burke. He served eight months in the
Civil War. In 1878 he married Miss
Carrie Cahill, W no dled of consumption
about six years later. Fifteen years ago
he married as his second vile Miss Mary
Whitlock, who has tenderly cared tor
him during his long illness. Funeral
services were held Friday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. c. 6. Gorse. The Masonic
order, OF which he was member also
held services at the house and with the
@. A. r. formed an escort to the grave.
The singing was by a quarlette COM
posed of Mrs. Warren Hartwell, Mrs.
Carrie Gaskill and Warren Hartweli OF
Barton and Rev. Mr.. Gorse. The floral
offerings were profuse and very beauti-
full. Mrs. Packer has the sympathy of all
in her affection.

IT Is DIFFERENT NOW.

While it is true that the republican
majority in this state two years ago
was over 10000, the great increase in
the republican vote was largely due
TO the fact that many democrats voted
the republican ticket as an expression
of their approval of the fight made by
President Roosevelt and Governor Nc
Bride against the railway merger and
of the courageous effort of the repub-
lican governor to suppress the railroad
lobby that had SO long dominated his
party and the state. But it is different
this year. President Roosevelt has
made peace with the trusts and assur-
ed them that there will be no further
enforcement of the Sherman law, and
Governor Mcbride has been defeated
and Inundated by the railroad forces
now in full control of his party. I'm
der these changed conditions democrats
will not vote the republican ticket this
year, but, on the contrary, thousands
of republicans will support the demo-
cratic state ticket in order to rebuke
the corporation bosses who have ar
rogated to themselves the power of
naming the officers of the state and of
debating to the Legislature what laws
shall be or shall not be passed. AS a
result the 10000 republican majority of
two years ago will be converted into
a majority of at least 10000 for George
Turner, the peoples candidate for gov
ernor. No state in the Union has a
larger proportion of independent voters
than Washington. This was demon
strated in 1896 and in 1900, and it will
be demonstrated even more clearly
next November. The honest, self-re-
speeding. right thinking voters of this
state will never submit to being round
ed up by the railroad lobby like brand
ed cattle and Boss Farrell will find
that he has cracked his whip and
fiourished his branding iron in vain.

shane and whatever obligation it has
sure the communities interested, both
Portland and eastern Oregon, will take
up and redeem. The names back OF
the guarantee are such as to command
confidence from supporters and res
pect from opponents.
We warn the state board that neitner
Portland nor eastern Oregon is in a
frame of mind to be trifled with on this
question. 1t will not be satisfactory
for the board to take this matter under
advisement for a few days and then
report that there is no authority for
the state to delegate it's power to the
commission; or that the proposed Sc
curity seem inadequate or irregular;
or that the United States engineers are
unfavorable to the portage or that we
must wait for certain court proceed
ings to be completed or that the attor-
ney general is connecting a labored and
confusing opinion of doubt and dis
may.
Insurmountable obstacles always
arise in the way of everything you
don't want to do; but where there's
will there's way. 1t is time
now, just exactly time, to let go
entirely of the old familiar method Of
building portage roads and other roads
by means of banquets and inspection
tours and maps and lawyers. Oregon
is gridironed with this sort of railroads
and any more of the kind are not
needed in any section that we know of.
The want now is for excavations
that are made with spade instead Of
a typewriter and carbon paper; rails
of steel and locomotives that locomote.
Instead of lawyers pounding tables,
let us see a few laborers pounding
spikes into the crosstes. We should
say that entertainingly as the board
can dictate explanations and ingen-
iously as the attorney general can find
difficulties, it is in order for this sort
of activity to stop short and for a diff
ferent sort of activity to begin. We all
know quite sufficient about difficulties.
Now let us see some dirt fly!
