WATCHING THE BUILDERS.

Fire Insurance Felix's Keep nn Eye
On Construction Methods.
A builder speaking of the watchful
ness of fire insurance companies In
New York city In the erection Of build
ings in that city says:
Insurance companies In placing poll
cies upon so called tireproof buildings
do not accept the word of the builders
and contractors, Ror rest content with
the evidence submitted by the city
building department. Their own ex-
perts make an examination. Such an
examination Is made not ut the behest
of politicians or in the interest of 8
group of men, but by technical experts
whose reports must be exact, detailed
and exhaustive In the interests of
shrewd business men. The insurance
underwriters have their own corps OF
expert engineers and fireproof agents
In the field all of the time. When a
large building is In course of con-
struction in New York these experts of
the underwriters watch every stage Of
the developments They have no power
to stop work ON the building as city
building inspectors have when the
building laws are not complied with,

READY FOR HARVEST.
Whitman County Farmers Preparing
to Harvest n Good Crop uf Grain.

10 harvest n tsOOu crop vi tSrain.
All over can be seen the busy stir
that precedes harvest in the Palouse
country says the Pullman Tribune.
Farmers are coming to town daily to
purchase new machinery and extras
for the old, and to secure help to care
for the big grain crop. The hot
weather of the past two weeks has
hastened the ripening of the grain,
and in but few instances has the
grain been burned.
A few fields that were sown very
lnte are not doing very we'll and "A few
c'tv ~~'rts of hills have been burned
p'C y 'oHy. on the whole the grain
looks healthy and has every prospect
Of maturing to a splendid crop.
The help problem is probably the
most serious that confronts the farm
crs. Many are buying combine har-
vesters, eliminating marry men in the
operations of harvesting. Good wages
are being offered to men to help finish
haying and to remain for the thresh-
ing.
A good shower would probably he
the greatest blessing to the wheat
fields at this time. There is not
enough hay down to be seriously in
jured and rain would assist mater
tally in developing many fields of
grain that would otherwise not yield
as heavily as might be wished for.

cHINAMAN MARRlEs A GOULD.
Ella clemmons Weds Celestial Whs
Gets So a Day.

Among the ruins of Chinatown. ELI
Clemmons, sister of Mrs. Howard
Gould, who was formerly Katherine
CicfInons, the actress, is living as the
wife of Sun Yue, a pigtailed celestial.
who works among the piles of bricks
at San Francisco. She admitted she
has married Sun Yue according to Chi
nese rites, and is happy in her associa-
ton with the yellow race.
For some years before the great fire
Ella Clemmons lived on the border of
the Chinese quarter, and spent her life
in work among Chinese children. She
became very fond of her little friends,
and enjoyed her close relations with
the men and women of Chinatown.
She declared that they were a neg
lected and abused race, and her SYM
pathy went out to them.
Then came the fire and her home
was swept away. She was driven to
refugee camp near the Preside, and
still chose to make her home with the
Chinese. When the fire was out and
the ruins cooled, she returned to the
site of her old home, and now she is
living in a big tent there with her
Chinese husband. When asked by a
reporter if it was true she had become
the wife of Chinese, she said with a
smile, Eyes, am married and happy"
She wears heavy jade band which
her husband placed upon the third fin
ger of her left hand. She said, at is
my wedding ring" Around her left
wrist is thick bracelet of the same
precious greenish hued stone. my
wedding bracelet" she explained.
Your husband, where is hep Clean
ing bricks" was the reply. She lifted
her head proudly. He earns 81 a
day He works hard and uncomplain-
ingly He is good and kind, but all
Chinese are good and kind to their
wives, for that matter,
do | love him? | think so. We
were married after the laws of his
country. Do not ask me when, how,
or where. | will not tell you. But you
have my permission, since you have
heard the truth, to publish the fact. "
Ella Clemmons and her sister have
been estranged for years and did not
even spell their names the same way.
The California law does not allow the
marriage of whites and Chinese, hence
the wedding by Chinese rites was nee
essary.
