HEWING TO TIE LINE.

Vermont officials are stunning all APP
pearance Of evil lest they be accused
Of grating. For instance, the pay Of
the legislators was held up because the
attorney general could find nothing to
warrant their being paid for Saturdays
and Sundays when the records showed
that they were not in session. On rec
ommedation Of the attorney general,
Auditor Graham and Treasurer Deavitt
refused to include the pay for the Sat.
urdays and Sundays until the legislature
had iegalized it. This carefulness on
the part of the treasurer and the auditor
is worth commencing, but we fail to
see the Justice or propriety Of paying
the legislators for Sundays when almost
without exception they go home Friday
night and do not return until Monday
afternoon. Why would II not be better
to pay them three dollars for each week
dayY II must be said in defense of the
legislators, however, that this year they
We're only following long. esttablished
precedent, and precedent alone, for there
i nothing in the constitution or stat
utes to warrant paying them for some
thing which they do not perform.

When Dried, the Queer Arms Closely

AT its marine residence, away down

plate would be "Astrophyton," and it
belongs to a species called ophiurans.
1t has we'll marked control disk, not
unlike clam, but has no shell. From
this central body radiate arms, five in
number, like those of the familiar star
fish, and these arms are divided into
minute branches, like the twigs on a
tree, until they number in some cases a
thousand separately defined hairlike
tendrils. While the body is not large,
the branches when extended measure
about eighteen inches in diameter. The

bles a shallow dish. This it does when
caught and about to die, remaining in
that shape when dried.
1t has been given the name of basket
fish. 1t frequently (when caught by a
dredge, for that is the only way it can
be taken) throws off these arms or
parts or them, so tnat q perfect Speci-
men is hard to be procured in it's natu-
raj condition.
These arms and their subdivisions
are almost white when dried and close
ly resemble plaster of paris. They are
very brittle, easily broken and cannot
be repaired. The fish live among the
roots of seaweeds and are supposed to
feed upon these, moving about by
wriggling and clambering with theil
arms or fastening upon the roots and
pulling themselves along.
Most of the knowledge regarding
their habits is conjecture, for none

Be Hopeful, Avoid Worry and See
the Amusing Side of Life.
Women more than men are possess
ed with dread of growing old, not
realizing that maturity has it's charms
and compensatiOns. We wish young
people oftener had it impressed upon
them that they may provide for hap
Ply old age by laying up a reserve of
sound health and a store Of happy
memories as we'll as by cultivating
tastes and resources which will out
last youth. As for those who are al
ready approaching middle age, there
is no surer way to grow old premature
ly than to dread the future. 1t is es-
sential, if we wish to keep young, to
cultivate that hopeful habit of mind so
characteristic of youth-the hope which
makes one able to say with Browning,
''The best is yet to come" and with
Lucy Larcum, Every year life is lar
ger and deeper and more beautiful in
its possibilities" Allied with this at
titude of expectancy must be the abil-
ity to see the amusing side of life.
Worry and veXation over what would
better be laughed at result in disfgur-
ing wrinkles. Above all, if the years
bring us, as they should, q better un-
derstanding of ourselves, a broadening
of active human sympathies,- firmer

The laying of the cornerstone of the
new Methodist church at the corner
of johnson and Webb streets, will
take place during the first days of
September-on the Sd or 4th, proba-
bly,, though it is not possible, to set
an exact date as yet. The church
board hope to secure the attendance
upon that occasion of some prominent
divine on his way TO or from the CO.
lumbia River conference, which meets
at Yakima on September 8. 1t will
be about two weeks before an exact
date can be set. The cornerstone will
be a piece of Haiues granite, cut.
carved and polished by Hamilton Ray,
of this place. 1t will be 2x2x1 y feet
in size.
The superstructure of the new.
church. as has been mentioned before,
will be of blue-gray volcanic rock
from Baker county. 1t has some pc
culiar qualities, among them being
that of being entirely fire proof, at
least against any degree of heat not
sufficient to actually melt volcanic
rock. Had it not been for the ex-
tremely hot weather of the past few
weeks, the rock would already be on
the grounds, but work in the Baker
quarries was impossible for weeks on
account of the heat, but has been re-
sumed, and the rock will begin to ar
rive at once.

absence of Geary Kimbrell, has

La Grande, Aug. 1S.-(Special.)-
La Grande was this morning at
o'clock the victim of fire which did
damage conservatively estimated at
10000, with the probability that 1t
will considerably exceed this figure
when complete inventory of the
chattels destroyed is made. The
warehouse belonging to the La Grande
Cash company owned by Lewis broth
ers, was burned; also barn and con-
tents belonging to the same firm. Also
the Fowler & Coolidge warehouse
with contents was burned Its de-
struction was followed by that of
hay and feed barn belonging to Mr..
Lewis. The origin OF the fire is sup
posed to have been sparks from the
o. r. & n. switch engine.
Had It not been for the fact that
scarcely breath OF wind was blow
ing. the destruction would have been
much greater. az the next property In
line with the path of the fire was the
immense Standard oil company's
tanks. All the buildings destroyed,
while we'll built and substantial, were
nevertheless of frame, and extremely
dry on account of the protracted rain
less weather. The first building was
under n full head of blaze when dis
covered, and its consumption by the
flames created violent draft. The
water system worked beautifully, and
the fire department never did better
work.
In the La Grande Cash company's
warehouse. which was 200x100 feet,
was stored an immense quantity of
farming implements and flour
The barn nearby. which belonged
to the Lewis brothers, also, was n
large structure. 1t was complete
loss, with a large quantity of hay and
feed. The men who discovered the
fire in the beginning, seeing that II
was impossible to save this barn
managed to unhltch and lead from II
several horses.
In the G. T.. Fowler warehouse was
stored furniture. coal, lime and ce-
ment, and large quantity of house
hold and other goods belonging to va
rious parties who leased the space
which the goods occupied.
The hay barn belonging to Mr.
Lewis was the last building burned
Its contents, consisting of hay, feed
harness and miscellaneous chattels
were almost total loss.
The paint on the standard tanks
was blistered, and II was thought fol
time that the fight to save It woulc
have to be abandoned. Had that beer
necessary the destruction Of the A. B
C. laundry would have been certain
and beyond 1t string of residences
