MOTHER BURNS TO DEATH
to Save Child She Thinks ir
Blazing Building, She Sacrifices
Her Own Life.

SEATTLE, Dec. 12.-Frantic over
the danger she believed threatened her
4-months-old son Lloyd, Mrs. William
w. Goodman dashed into her burning
home at Hillman City this morning and
was burned to death. This afternoon
the baby died at a neighbours residence.
William Goodman, the husband and
father, was fearfully cut by broken
glass and badly burned about the face
and arms.
Goodman's house was discovered to
be in flame sat 2 o'clock this morning.
He. his wife and two older children
escaped promptly. A brother of Good
man carried out the infant son. AS he
passed the mother she cried to by
ISLANDERS that her baby was inside and
the brother-in-law called to her that
he had the child.
The woman apparently did not hear
the answer, for she dashed back into
the house. The residence vas a mass
of flames and Mrs. Goodman was ~
most Immediately overcome by the
smoke and fire. Goodman tried to res
cue his wife, but he was cut and burn
ed and could not do so. When the fire
died out the charred remains were
found.

Car Shortage Is, They Say,

SHOULD UNLOAD MORE QUICKLY
OFFICIALS WARNED DEALERS TO
LAY IN FUEL SUPPLY LAST
SUMMER.

PORTLAND, Dec. IL. Immediate
action will be taken by the transpor-
tatiOn committee of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce on the state
ment made by Northern Pacific Ter
minal company officials to the effect
that the car shortage is being accen-
tuated by such neglect. An effort will
be made to correct any abuses that
may exist on the part of local mer-
chants.
At a meeting of the transportation
committee held this afternoon railway
officials were present to discuss the
matter with the committee. 1t is said
there is a tendency on the part of local
consignees to leave cars unlOaded two
or three days, and that in this manner
upwards Of 1000 cars are tied up in the
terminal yards that length of time that
could just as we'll have been uhloaded
the first day of arrival and thus re-
leased a day or two sooner, thereby
giving aid and comfort, to that extent,
to those industries that are waiting
for cars.
The fuel famine is said to be not
entirely due to the coal mine operators
or the railroad companies, and it is al
legged that the greater part Of the
trouble could have been averted mad
dealers stored in a good supply Of coal
during the summer months, when
empty cars were returning westward
after having carried lumber from Ore
gon to the eastern states. At that
time railroad officials, it said, warned
he coal dealers that they should take
advantage of the car movement and
Law in coal for the winter. The ex-
ample was set by J. P. O'Brien, gen.
eral of the Hartman lines,
who stored 10000 tons Of Colorado
coal in open bunkers at coaling points
and in Portland. While it is exposed
to the weather, it lost a percentage OF
it's efficiency, but had the precaution
not been taken to bring the coal here
the railroads would have been tied up
long before December for lack of fuel
Even with the amount stored ahead,
thew are now put of coal, and it is only
with tho greatest difficulty they are
keeping freight train running. Ihe
coal dealers declined to store coal on
tho ground that they could not afford
to tie up their money two or three
months. Had they done so the ao-
vance in price would have more than
covered liveral interest charged.

He thinks that all the timber Of the
Lower Columbia will be logged off
within a very short time and that in
the meantime, the timber belts Of the

remote, will be the only source of
supply of Portland mills.
At present the highest rate paid
for timber lands, on the stumpage
basis, is 50 to $3.50 and loggers think
this is mormon In MI. Morrison's
opinion, however, the rate will double
by the year 1908.

WARDNER, Dec. 12.-There is more
trouble in Wardner over the last wild
spree Of w. P. Swinerton, the Ward
ner pioneer, who not long ago was
advertised as an habitual drunkard,
when all saloon keepers in h coun-
ty were warned not to sell or give him
any more intoxicating liquor. When
Swinerton is drunk it is said that in
his home he acts more like a feno
than a father and husband, and for
that reason any saloon man that al
lows hi INTO drink in mis- establishment
does so under pain of prosecution.
Last Thursday night Swinerton go
some whisky and became intoxicated.
He went home and, armed with a gun
and an axe. threatened to annihilate
his entire family. The terrified moth-
or and children fled for their lives,
unframed, however.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 12.-Both
operating and traffic departments of
the Hartman northwest system are
trying to relieve conditions in the fuel
famine districts of Eastern Oregon
and Washington. Residents of several
towns where the shortage Of coal has
worked a hardship are being sold coal
by the railroad when possible, from its
own stock, but if company fuel is not
available the best possible dispatch
is being given commercial consign-
ments.
Reports from Huntington show there
is an average of min cars of coal pass
ing through that gateway every day.
The railroad interests are also short
of fuel, for during the summer sea-
son, when they usually store fuel in
large quantities, their orders were cut
down at the mines about 200 tons a
week. This move was for the purpose
of filling commercial orders. There
for winter needs. In fact the situa-
fore the railroad is yet hauling fuel
ton is such that the operating de-
partment reports it is following a sort
Of a hand- -mouth existence in the
fuel campaign though considerable re-
lief has been anorded through the fact
the line from Umatilla east were
equipped with oil burners since last
season. AS 1t is there are shops, sta
lions, roundhouses and steamers to be
upplied by the Hartman line, and each
demand causes a heavy drain.
When the operating department can
spare coal it places the cars in pos
sion of a responsible coal dealer or
citizen and holds them accountable for
the full amount Each applicant is
sold enough coal to fill his or her
wants until greater supplies can be re-
ceived.
In most of the towns affected the sit
uation has been rendered doubly pre-
carious through the fact that mills
have closed down and the source of
slabwood cut off, while in others the
citizens have depended so long on coal
no wood is cut in quantity for the
local market. In localities where coal
is demanded for the operation of very
large plants the situation has become
acute. Fortunately the weather in
eastern Oregon moderated during the
past week, and in parts of the Blue
Mountain region a thaw has set in.
The railroad officials say they are
using every car that can be spared to
haul coal, but with rush orders at
the mines and other states besides,
Oregon and Washington depending
largely on the output from the prop
critics, it is no easy matter to get fuel
even if cars were plentiful.

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 12.-Hilarious
from drink, J.. X. Pratt, aged about
rs, delivered a lecture to a large crowd
at the corner of Seventh and Main
street yesterday on the worthless
ness of the Mazuma." He demon
strated the truth Of his subject by
scattering nickles, dimes, quarters,
dollars, greenbacks and gold coins
with a lavish hand for the members
of his audience to scramble for. until
arrested and taken to the station on
a disorderly charge. 1t is said Pratt
threw away over 500 and the crowd
got away with most of it.
Declaring that he had $50, 900 in a
local bank and that money presented
to him, Pratt proceeded to give a
demonstration of his statement. First
supply of these was exhausted he
threw away larger silver, and finally
dug up his wallet, from which he took
bills and gold pieces.
One fellow was seen to disappear in
the crowd with a $50 bill; another car
ried away a $50 gold piece and still
others were enriched by smaller
amounts in bills, gold and silver.
When searched at the police station
Pratt was broke, but unknown to him,
those connected with the saloon got
hold of $14, a part Of what he threw
away, and are saving it to give him
when he sobers up.
Little is known Of Pratt here. He
recently came to Boise from Emmett
where he had been working. His
home is in Ohio, a letter from his
mother from there being found on
