A 100000 FIRE,

The mammoth Department
Store of Miksche & Vertin's at
Breckenridge was consumed
by fire last Wednesday after
noon, causing a loss of over
100000. Insured for about one
third value.
The origin of the fire is un-
known, and when first discov
cred the whole basement was
on fire, and before the fire de-
partment could turn the water
on the flames had reached the
second floor, and beyond con
troll, and they turned their at.
tention to adjoining buildings
and with the aid Of the Wah-
peton Hookies and two Hose
companies, after a desperate
fight of over two hours held the
fire i'll check and retained
Breckenridge on the map.
Miksche & Vertin had been
in their new building only a
few years and had one of the
most complete department
stores in the north west and
which was easily the most
prominent business house in
the town and its destruction
strikes severe blow to the
business interests of the CON-
munity though it is hope that
the burned building will soon
be replaced by one equally as
good or even better.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.

ANUIa6h flUN hhh tUN1.
Richard Heating, one of the
early pioneer settler of this
state, died at his home in this
city last Friday evening, March
18th, at s o'clock p. m. He had
been in ill health for over a
year and had been confined to
his bed for about six weeks.
His death was the result of
old age being 78 years last
November and came to this
country when young man.
In 1872, he came from Wiscon.
sin to this state and settled his
land. (Which is located two
miles west of the city,) before
it was in the market. He filed
on his land in August of that
year. His wife was dead at
this time and he was left with
a. family of eight children
which he brought here in the
year of 1873. There were six
daughters and two sons, of
whom four of the daughters
are now living being Mrs.
Masterson and Mrs. Donald
Wright of this city, Mrs. J. F.
Shea of Fargo, and Mrs. Hickey
of Havana. Two of Mr.. Keat-
ing's brothers. survive him
Jas. Heating of Havana and
Vim. Keating of this city.
With the death of the deceas-
ed, there remains but very few
links of the chain of old settlers
who braved the hardships of
early days and helped to make
the country what it now is.
A few years hence and all will
have departed. Funeral SER
vice of the deceased was held
at St. Johns Catholic church,
Monday at 10 o'clock a. m.,
Requiem High Mass was
celebrated by Rev. Arnold,
Ridder, pastor, aud the remains
were inferred in Calvary
cemetery. The brothers and
all of the children of the de-
ceased, besides a number of
grandchildren we're present at
the funeral. The out of town
relations and friends who
were present were Mrs. Pat
White, of Fairmount a niece of
the deceased, Mr.. Powers and
nephew of Havana and Mr..
Welsch of Fairmount an old
friend of the family, of Mr..
Keating's life. Too much cam
not be said in praise of him.
He brought up his motherless
children to be grand and noble
men and women. He was
charitable and kind beyond
measure and ever zeady to aid
those that were needy. A
faithful and devoted member
of the Roman Catholic church,
a loving father, a true and
faithful friend. Many friends
of the departed placed beauti-
ful floral emblems on the
casket as the last parting re.
membrance they might bestow
upon one so we'll known and
loved by all. He lived use
full, noble and Christian life
and has laid down the burdens
of this world to enter into the
kingdom Of the Lord whom he
so faithfully worshipped and
served aud where loved ones
have proceeded him.
To the bereaved relatives of
of the departed we extend our
sincere sympathy in the loss
of their father, brother. and
grandfather. whose place can
never be filled, but whose
memory will always live
among them.

is visiting with his brother near
Soap Lake and looking over the
country. He has decided to locate
permanently in the Ephrata country,
probably in the vicinity of Soap
Lake. He and his brother will open
a stone quarry in the near future
and will take contracts to erect cot
tages and other buildings of stone.
The development which this section
of the country is about to enter upon
will justify them in their decision,
! we feel assured.
! Owing to irregularities in draw
ing the jury for the trial of criminal
cases this month at Waterville,
! Judge Steiner dismissed the jury
and there will consequently be no
criminal term this winter. An eff
fort was made after discovering the
defects in selection of jurymen to
effect a waiver, but the attorneys
interested failed to come to an
agreement, one lone barrister claim
ing that his client would be preiudic-
ed, and insisted upon dismissal. The
work of the court at Waterville will
therefore be light this month.

Chelan Notes.
lFrom the Leader

Notwithstanding the unexpected
financial depression, which no doubt
very materially affected the holiday
trade, our merchants report an ex-
cellent business in that line this
year, the best in fact they have ever
had. Not only were the purchases
numerous, but the selections made
were largely from the better and
higher priced classes of goods. This
is fair indication of the Chelan
valleys growing prosperity.
BY recent order of the postoffice
department the Chelan Office has
been raised from the fourth to the
third class, the order to become eff
fective January 1, 1908. This
change in classification carries with
it an increase in the postmaster
salary to $1,100 per year. The re-
ceipts of the Office were sufficient to
justify a Redistribution of the Office
a year ago, and were considerably in
excess of that amount on the 1st of
July, at which time reclassifications
are usually made, but for some rea-
son the department overlooked the
matter and the Office was continued
in the fourth class. In this last
quarter of 1907 the receipts for the
first two months were sufficient to
pay the postmaster's salary under
fOurth-class regulations and prac-
tically all of DEFENDERS receipts
have been turned in to department
funds. The Chelan valley is stead
lily and surely growing.
At the regular communication Of
the Chelan Valley Lodge, No. 11S,
F. & A. NJ, held December 81, the
following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
Worshipful, Master, DR.. A. l..
Michel.
Senior Warden, L. G. Mitchell.
Junior Warden. Don Mathers.
Treasurer, De Witt c. Britt.
Secretary, J. H. Mundt.
There is to be q joint installation
of the officers OF the Masonic lodge
and Silver Star Chapter, o. f. S., on
Tuesday night, December 81, at
" hich all Masons and their wives
and all sisters of the Eastern Star
and their husbands are expected 10

were glad to see US, who were inter-
ested in Us, and, II possible, proud
of us. What jolly times always
awaited us! We can say, in the
light of experience, to those who
are once more at home, make the
most of your present vocation. You
do not dream of the far reaching eff
fects on your careers to be made by
the friends and acquaintance of a
college course Years hence you
will meet some old student on the

that old college spirit never; and
upon renewing the old friendship
you find at once it belongs to class
by itself. The Journal wishes sue
cess to each member of the Ephrata
delegation.

T. - ~'~t-0oa on the highest au-
thority that no effort will BE- made
by the present Congress to adopt
legislation to remedy the present
financial condition. An opportunity
will be given to men high in the
financial world to appear before the
Committee on Currency and Bank
ing to present their views on any
proposed measure, and it is the
hope of the members of the commit
tee that the finances of the country
will so have adjusted themselves by
that time that there will be no nee
essity for legislation looking to the
correction of present conditions.
Undoubtedly the present disturbed
condition may be expected to rem
edy itself within ar easOnable time,
but it is for Congress to legislate
away the likelihood or the possibility
of such occurrences in the future.
