Fire Burned Thirty Eight Hours.
CHICAGO, January 17.-Fire still burned
in the packing plant of the Schwarzchild &
Sulzberger Company today, in spite of the
efforts of the fremen. After a fight of
thirty-eight hours it is said that it might
be necessary to demolish the walls with
dynamite in order to get at the blaze and
save other sections of the plant 1t was
feared that the fireproof wall between the
burning section of the beef cooler and the
lard refinery might be warped by the heat
and give way, spreading the flames to the
lard refinery, where the grease-soaked sur
roundings would make a fierce blaze

He Will Be a Bird.

Science has put On it's long distance
spectacles and, gazing far into the flu
ture, has discovered that after man Is
dead and gone higher race will inhab-
it the earth in the form of bird.
Perhaps that is the reason now when
we meet a man who is right up to date
in every particular we instinctively say,
HE is bird" 1t will be seen that
this is much higher compliment to a
lady than to call her peach.
We can see one place where that race
will be emancipated, for the ladies will
have fine feathers without mortgaging
their husbands salaries to the milliner.
With that prospect there is little en-
enlargement for inventors Of flying
machines to proceed with the good
work. However, there is no use in the
holders Of railroad stocks to tumble
over each other in trying to dispose of
them, for it is long way off.

COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL
LAND OFFICE ISSUES AN I'M.
PORTANT CIRCULAR
Every Person That Makes a Home estes ID
Entry in Future Will Receive
Copy

w. A. Richards, commissioner of the
general land office, has prepared a cir
cular letter of instructions, a copy of
which will be sent in future to every
person who makes homestead entry
of public land. The letter is intended
to acquaint every entryman with the
terms and provisions of the homestead
law, and the requirements for obtain
ing land under it's provisions So that,
in the future, ignorance of the law
will not palliate any failure to comply
with it.
Sixty-nine thousand homestead en-
tries were made last year, and this
year they are averaging about 1000 a
month.
On the back of the circular letter is
printed information concerning the
homestead law, the requirements of
the general land office, and suggestions
to the entrymen, which, if fully fol-
lowed, would enable him to fully COM
ply with the law. in letter and spirit.
The circular letter is as follows:
"The papers supporting your recent
homestead entry have been received,
examined and filed in this office. In
order that you may be fully Informed
as to your duties under this entry, as
io1, i,,
it's cancellation, you should carefully
read study, and remember the sugges-
lions printed on the back of this let
ter, because any failure on your part
to cure any existing defect in the en-
try. or any failure to fully and in good
faith comply with the laws requiring
residence, improvements, cultivation,
and proof, will be sure to result in the
cancellation of the entry and the loss
of your improvements.
"Entrymen should constantly bear
in mind that any sale, or contract or
agreement to sell any of the lands en-
braced in ther entries, or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, prior
to making final proof, will cause the
entry to be cancelled and may even re-
suit in the cancellation of the patent
should such patent be inadvertently
issued.
cit should be constantly remembered
that any false statement made in eitn-
err the affidavits or final proof made in
support of any entry will not only
cause it's cancellation, but may result
in criminal indictment and prosecu-
ton

VACATION.

Vacation, How my mind goes out
To that delightful day
When chop work and with shout
Start off for two weeks play.
To ramble in the woodland deep
NV dear and only wish,
To lie upon the grass and sleep
Or sit around and fish!
AS at my desk in hateful toll
I labor under stress
And reams of pure white paper spoil
With words quite meaningless
My mind runs forward to the hour
When 1 can drop my pen
And chop a tree or pick a flower
Far from the haunts of men.
Here, mid the city's dirt and CRIME,
It's rush for power and gain,
I sit and dream about the time
When l can take the train
For nowhere. or some other isle
Where l can sit at ease,
Content to baSk in natures smile
And do Just what l please.
Vacation, chase yourself along;
You're always overdue,
For, not to put it very strong,
I live alone for you.
For your short fragment of real life,
For your two weeks of cheer,
Away from trouble toll and strife.
I work throughout the year

was reported to the president of the
union he at once directed that all the
union cards displayed in the several
meat markets be taken down at once.
This order was complied with last
night, the Harras shop on Alder street
being the only place in the city where
the union card could be seen tackled
on the wall.
The trouble will be reported to the
walla Walla Trades and Labor Coun-
ell tonight and it may be threshed out
there by the representatives of the diff
ferent unions comprising that body.
The union butchers are much workei
up over the outcome of the differences
and some are talking strongly of in
sisting on a general strike. More con-
sentative members, however, are in
clined to oppose the strike proposition
and will demand that the differences
be settled by arbitration.
The employers will not give out any
statement whatever, further than that
they are ready to fight it out with
The Union.

SHOULD RETURN THE FLAGS
Only a Few G. A. r. Posts Offer Any
Objection to Courtesy

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Tnat
there is a relic among civil war Veter-
ans of the old time hostility which
prevented President Cleveland from
returning the conferedate battle hags
is evidenced by the attitude which sew
eral Grand Army posts in this city are
taking towards the action of congress
this year. One of the posts by unah-
imous vote. has passed bitter resoiu-
tions condemning congress, and 1t IS
said other are preparing to follow suit.
Copies.of these resolutions are to De
sent : sadcast to Grand Army posts
east west in the hope that they
may take similar action, and thus Gre
ate sentiment in the northern states
which will injure those members VINO
failed to oppose the flag joint resolu-
ton.
The joint resolution was introduced
early in the session, and referred in the
regular order to appropriate commit
tees in both houses, which considered
it and made favorable reports. THESE
reports were printed in full and some
weeks afterwards a vote was calieo
for. After the joint resolution nao
gone through one house, there was an
interval of several days before it came
to a vote in the other.
There are still in congress many OF
the civil war veterans, every one OF
whom knew the resolution was COM
ing to a vote, and that sentiment very
strongly favored it's passage. Not one
of them raised his voice in protest, and
when the vote was taken the roll can
was dispensed with in each house.
It is not believed in washington that
the Grand Army as an organization
will find fault with congress for what
it has done with the captured con1eo-
crate flags. In the eighties when
President Cleveland made an unsuc-
cossful attempt to return these flags,
political sentiment of the north was
to a large extent, especially In the re-
nub1ican party, controlled by men VINO
wore the blue. The war had been emu
ed for about 20 years, and the Graho
Army of the republic was at the hign
tide of its political prestige.
Since that time q new generation
has come into action, which views the
war with a kindlier eye than those
