TWO SMALL FRAME BUILDINGS
ON MAIN STREET DAMAGED
CONSIDERABLY.
The Grocery Store Of George n. Jones
Damaged by the Water and
Smoke.

A fire early Sunday morning, the
circumstances of which point very
strongly to have been of an incendiary
nature, destroyed the Potter feed store
at the corner of Sixth and Main streets,
and damaged the grocery store and
stock of George w. Jones at No. 326
Main street.
The alarm was turned in at $3.50
o'clock in the morning and when the
firemen arrived they found the feed
store entirely enveloped in flames,
while at the rear end of the grocery
and between that and the building used
by Charles H. Hunt as a blacksmith
shop, was another blaze. All the APP
paratus was called into commission
and it was o'clock before the fire had
been completely extinguished.
The feed store building and the con-
tents were completely destroyed while
the building occupied by the grocery
store was badly damaged. The stock
of groceries were also damaged by
smoke and water, but to what extent
Mr.. Jones is unable to ascertain at
present There was no damage to the
blacksmith shop.
While working on the top of the
grocery store building Firemen Thomas
Chapman and Nat Hart fell through
skylight, but fortunately both escaped
injury.
There was no insurance on the feed
store but Mr.. Jones carried $4,000 on
his stock
The building used as a feed store
was owned by the Lauga estate and
the blacksmith shop and grocery store
buildings by Mrs. L. ]. Schell of Port
land.
The way the fire was burning when
the firemen reached the place gives
every reason to believe that it was OF
an incendiary nature People residing
near the scene of the fire reported
that short time before the alarm was
turned in they heard persons running
down Main street and in the alley be-

Voters Ask Commissioners for New
Voting Precinct.

A petition bearing SO names was
filed with the commissioners for the
division of Small precinct and the
creation of a new voting precinct out
of a portion thereof. January was
set by the board as the date for the
hearing of said petition. There are
now 237 voters registered in Small
precinct and the citizens of that pre-
cinct want to divide before they get
the 300 which will compel them to
register before every election.

couohina Spell Caused Death.

Harry Duckwell, aged 25 years,
eboked to death early yesterday
morning at his home, in the presence
of his wife and child. He contracted
a slight cold a few days ago and paid
but little attention to it. Yesterday
morning he was seized with fit OF
coughing which continued for some
time. His wife sent for a physician
but before he could arrive, another
coughing spell came on and Duckwell
died from suffocation.-St. Louis

ENTER RESIDENCE OF CHARLES
MARTIN AND SECURE GUAM.
THY OF JEWELRY.
Two Men Are Arrested by Police and
Held on Suspicion as the
Thieves.

The home of Charles D. Martin on
Jones street was burglarized on Sat-
urday night about 1890 o'clock and
500 worth of jewelry stolen. The
! robbery was first discovered by Mrs.
Martin. When she reached the house
! about IL o'clock Saturday evening she
| found the front door~open and every
thing about the house topsy turvy.
The contents of the bureau drawers
/ had been emptied on the floor in the
search for valuables which was re-
warded by the swag of jewelry taken
from one of them.
Access to the house had been OBJ
tanned by the front door which had
been kicked in by the burglars. After
making their find the robbers calmly
ate up the lunch which the Martins
had prepared to eat when they re-
turned from the store in the evening.
The fact that there is an arc light on
the corner where the Martins live
makes the robbery an exceptionally
bold one.
Two suspects, giving their names as
Frank Diamond and John Ryan, have
been arrested by the police and are
now in Jail awaiting investigation.
Hunt Loses a Cow.
A COW belonging to w. A. Hunt was
stolen from his pasture northeast of
the city Saturday afternoon Parties
living near the place saw man 90
in and tie a rope around the animals
neck and lead it out but thought It
was probably some one to whom Mr..
Hunt had sold the COW and it was not
discovered until later that the animal
was stolen. No trace of the thieves
has been found as yet.

Another case in Saturday nights

burglarize the Troy laundry Between

Progress made in the irrigation work of the government is reviewed in a publication issued by the geological survey, which points out the necessity for great caution and conservatism in the expansion of the reclamation work. It says that of the irrigation projects favorably reported in 1903, which included those on the Truckee river in Nevada; on the Salt river in Arizona; on Milk river in Montana; in Sweetwater river in Wyoming, and on Gunnison river in Colorado, the Arizona and Nevada projects have been found feasible, and construction on the engineering works along the Salt and Truckee rivers has pro- gressed to reasonable extent. The Montana project, however, has pre- sented unexpected engineering diffi- culties as we'll as complications re- garding water rights, so that progress is slow.
 It has been found necessary to mod ify the first plans in order to achieve early results. The Wyoming project as first outlined has been found im- practicable. A better reservoir site than that on the Sweetwater river, however, has been discovered on the North Platte, so that large system development may be worked out there in the future. Engineering difficulties are encountered in the Colorado pro- ject.

A large number of magazine editors and writers, authors and artists en- joyed banquet and subsequent speechmaking in Washington Thurs day eve. The President arrived about 10 p. m-, and was hailed as ''the fore most author of them all." He greeted the magazine writers as 'the real governing class" and said that "the people themselves are ultimately re- sponsible for the government. He cautioned them against the spirit of boastfullness, and he would have re- form begin at home. The other speak CTS included the French and German ambassadors, Senator Beveridge, Dr. Henry Van Dyke and ex-GcvernOr Black of New York, who said many sharp things in very epigrammatic manner. John Hay was there, also some of the justices of the supreme court, and some four hundred other men not unknown to fame.

 labor upon all government contracts.

Again the President illustrates his fairness and impartiality. Captain Cowles, his brother-in-law, is attacked with great virulence because the bat tleship Missouri, which he was com manding, collided with the Illinois. It was a deplora5le accident, but court of inquiry acquitted him of blame, and if he were not the Presidents rel ative the acquittal would be univer- sally accepted as just. As it is there is a great tumult.

Many petitions are being received in Congress for the establishment of a parcels post. The coming of such a valuable adjunct of the mail service is only question of short time. Why should the American people be tyrannized over by four monOpolistic express companies? We ought to be able to send ten or twenty pounds by mail as the Germans and English are.

Some years since, perhaps quar-
