fore 10 o'clock last night the Bradley
furniture and hardware store in the
Ladow block, on Court street, was
damaged to the extent of several hun
dred dollars.
The fire started in the rear of the
building, and it was first noticed by
Will Hessian and Clarence Adams,
who were passing. They broke in the
front door while others turned in an
alarm. The fire was found in the
rear of the room and had caught from
the stove.
Within a short time the central fire
companies arrived on the scene and
the blaze was brought under control.
However, ii was some time before the
fire was all extinguished, and during
that time considerable damage was
done by water to the stock in the
rear OF the store. The goods in the

Loss Fully Covered.
w. W. Bradley, owner of the store,
was in Portland at the time of the
fire and has not yet returned. In his
absence Mr.. Martin, clerk for Mr..
Bradley, refused to place an estimate
on the loss to the stock, but said It
was fully covered by insurance.
Comparatively little damage was
done to the building, though the rear
of the room will have to be replaster-
ed and other repairs made.

On March 81 the citizens of lima
tilla will vote upon the subject of in
corporation, and If the matter carries,
as 1t is presumed it will, the place
will then become the city of Umatilla.
At the session of county court held
yesterday the petition asking for the
incorporation of Umatilla was pre-
sented. 1t is signed by 46 residents
of that place, and represents that
within the town there are over $50
inhabitants and over 40 voters, those
being the minimum allowed for an
incorporated town.
The petition was acted upon favor
ably by the court, and an order has
been prepared directing that on
March 81, 1906, an election be held
at Umatilla for the purpose of de-
termining the popular will in the mat
ter.
At the same time set of Officers
for the ensuing year will be chosen
and will go into power at once pro-
vided incorporation carries at the
election. The officers are to be

100000 FOR LA GRANDE.
Hartman Exchequer VIII Be Tapped
for New shops. Round Houses and
Other Needed Improvements-New
35-Stall Round House is Assured
Old Buildings Have Been Long
Outgrown.

o. r. & n. officials have asked for
the sum of 100000 from the excheq-
uer of the Hartman system for the
purpose of erecting new machine
shops at La Grande this year. If the
appropriation is allowed by the direc-
tors. work on the shops will begin in
the near future.
The volume of business on the
mountain division OF the o. r. & y.
has increased 10 such an extent that
the present shop and round house
facilities are wholly inadequate to the
number of engines required in the
service of the company, and new
buildings are absolutely necessary to
properly care for the equipment used.
Whether the new shops are erect
ed or not. a new round house of S5
stalls and costing about $4,000 will
be erected at the earliest possible
date. The old round house will shell
ter but Is engines and has been out
grown for a number of years.
Sites for the new buildings can be
secured adjacent TO the old shops and
the company will completely rebuild
the yards, tracks, shops and round
house facilities in La Grande if the
appropriation for the shops is author
lied.
About so men are now employed
in the shops, round houses, yards and

Effort TO Keep Paving Cost Within the
$4,000 Limit.

Negotiations are still on between
the members of the city council and
the representatives of the Warren
Construction company and efforts are
being made to have the city's portion
of the expense of paving reduced, so
as to be within the $4,000 limit of
warrant Indebtedness. Though moth
ing definite has yet been accomplish
ed, it is believed this can be done. If
no other way presents itself it is sug-
gested that the paving district be cut
down so as to bring the cost of paw
ing the intersections within the $10,-
900 limit.
Mayor Fee stated this afternoon
that he believed the Warren company
would do the work on the district
originally proposed at cost Of only
$4,000 to the city. Such PROPOSE
ton he declares was made by the
company's representative after the
council meeting the other night.

so long and ably filled by Col. r. c..

No successor to Col. Judson has
been selected but the office has not
been abandoned as yet, the company
simply having taken no action in the
matter. Mr.. Miller expressed great
satisfaction with the excellent results
achieved by Col. Judson as industrial
agent, and hoped that the territory
which enjoyed Col. Judson's presence
and cooperation had appreciated his
work.

y. P. PAYS BACK TAXES.
Yakima County Receives $4,000 for
Two Years.

Tax Commissioner Jay Sedgwick,
of the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, this morning turned over to the
county treasurer, Lee little, the COM
pany's check for s49,161.S5, says the
Yakima Republic.
This amount of money covers the
real estate and right of way taxes on
the Northern Pacific railroad in Yak
ina county for the years 1904 and
1905, and also the personal taxes for
1905. The company now owes the
county nothing.
This closes satisfactorily a contro-
versy between the county and the rail-
road company which the county Of
ficials expected would have to be
fought out in the courts. 1t was not
expected that the company would pay
any right of way taxes this year.

Judge S. A. Lowell, who is now Il

suggest to other candidates that
