She was alone. in the house at the
time and was locked in the kitchen.
The girl was unable to unlock the
doors, and finally managed to escape
by jumping through window, but be-
fore getting out of the kitchen was
burned in her attempt to extricate
herself.
The girl was absolutely wild with
fright. She gave the alarm to pass
ing children and it was turned in from
Judge Burke's home.
In the confusion it was some time
before the fire department properly
got the alarm, and got started, and
the flames had gained a headway that
meant the destruction of the property
before the department could have
reached the place. Neighbors, how
ever, took hand and managed to
save the piano, considerable of the
better furniture and many other
things of value, but the greater part
of the contents of the home were de-
stroyed by the fire or water. There
were four lines of hose playing on the
fire.
The loss cannot be estimated in

The home destroyed was one of the
handsomest and most complete little
homes in Baker City. 1t had Just been
remodeled, with a furnace and cleo
tric lights installed and wac fitted

way company. and in very short
time a railroad was built from Holly
out some fifteen miles thru the cen
ter Of the farming community, which
gives every farmer a short haul to
deliver his beets and other crops and
thereby increases his financial returns
and again boosts up the value of his
land.
The lands under the Amity and But
ialo canals, in the past few years, have
been rapidly settled by class OF
farmers who have means and brains
with which to make success. There
are many cases under these canals
where the farmer came in few years
ago with only sufficient means to
make his down payment and start in
farming, who now has his farm paid
Tor and the best of modern farm
buildings on it, and his land is IN con-
dition to bring him in the best OF re-
turns from his crops, while at the
same time the value OF his land has
increased at the rate OF about ten per
cent a year and in some cases great
deal more.
There arc many farmers under the
Amity canal who bought their farms
ten years ago at $22.5o per acre, in
cluding water rights from the canal
and reservoirs, who now hold their
land at over $Iso per acre and prob.
ably would not sell for that, because
their revenue is too good from their
iarm to make them wish to sell it.
What is more ideal than a home
under this system OF canals in Colo

growing feeling that these three fac
tors will in the future be found pull

education of the boys and girls OF
Holly.
Best OF all is the growing good
spirit toward the schools on the pari

members OF the board, George !. lkc,

Beets, cantaloups and Turkeys.

The cantaloups raised around Holly
and under the .Amity canal rank as
high as the best Rocky Ford melons

a patch of four or FIVE acres can or
dinarily count upon .turn of seven

acre clear, which, taken in onjunc-

which will net him from $50 to SIS

makes very nice income, as he can
raise plenty of feed for his horses
and COW and also keep flock of
chickens and turkeys, which latter
is one of the best paying businesses
a farmer can go into this country, as
fhe turkeys can be pastured in the al
falfa field with doubly good result,
the protection of the hay crop from
grasshoppers and the fattening OF
the birds All kinds of poultry can
be shipped to the mountain towns on
the west, whore the top prices are
secured
One of the easiest and possibly the
most profitable things for farmer to
do, on small scale, is the cultivation
of bee colony, as Arkansas valley
honey is noted all over the state and
country and brings good price with
minimum of labor.
The farmer in the west under irri-
cation does not have to own large
farm and big body of land to make
money; on the contrary farmer con-
centrating his brains and energy on
small farm will make every foot OF
it count and bring him in a good
financial return.

many more.

system went into operation. A full

JAPAN OPENS TWO PORTS
IN MANCHURIAN TERRITORY

Washington. April 1o.-The Japanese le-
CATION yesterday gave out the following
statement:
owing 10 the fact that the withdrawal
of troops from Manchuria not having
sufficiently progressed, the Japanese gov
ernment hitherto have neither permitted
citizens and vessels OF foreign countries
TO enter the ports and regions OF Man
churia. nor allowed foreign consuls 10
proceed 10 their posts therein. Considera-
bic progress. however. having now been
made I'm this respect, the Japanese gov
eminent has decided. in accordance with
the principles OF open door and equal op-
portunty ever advocated by them, TO
permit citizens and vessels OF foreign
countries TO enter from May ! An-Tung-
Hsien and Ta-Tug- Kao. and allow foreign
consuls 10 proceed to their posts at An
Tung- Hsien. From June foreign consuls
will be allowed 10 proceed to their posts
at Mukden and travelling OF foreigners IN
the interior OF Manchuria will be general
ly permitted In so far as military exigen-
cies do not prevent IL.
1T has further been decided -that-the
japanese will open Dairen (Ta-Lien- Wan)
TO the commerce OF the world as early a.
possible Judging from the present condi-
tion oe the interior OF Manchuria, II is
impossible for the Japanese authorities 10
afford such foreign travellers adequate
protection and facilities"
