About 700 Cords Of Wood
Make Fierce Blaze.
Over 20 Acres Of Land Swept
Over by The Flames.
Messrs. Eaton and Reynolds Loss
$4,000; Insurance $4,000.

A fire which burned up some 700
cords of wood and burned over an area
of over 20 acres of ground. and in all
did damage of something like $1,000
was the chief excitement for the day
in Watcrvillc ana WinSloW. The fire
broke out about II O'Clock in the wood
piles near the Watcrville & WiscasSet
depot i'll WnSloW and in a very short
time was communicated to the entire
pile Of wood that belonged to Joseph
Eaton and James Reynolds of Wins
low.
When the fire was first discovered
word was sent out to the Winslow fire
department for help, and they respond
"a as promptly as possible. Word was
also sent to Watcrvillc for the COM
pany to send over their fire cxtinguish-
erS and this was done. Il number of the
Watcrville fircmcn going along to help
what they could. On account of the
fact that the fire had gained rapid
Roadway and the use of water would
not avail against the flames, all pos
$ible attention was given to protecting
tho woods OH the opposite side or the
roadway. A crew of about 100 Italians
WAS organized and with shovelS and
brush they were set to work to prevent
the fire frorn spreading too far.
1t proved impossible to effect any
great saving in the wood piles and only
a dozen or p,orc cords escaped the
flames. The rest was burned to ashes,
and on tic 20 acres that was burned
over scarcely anything remained. the
vegetation and ground being SD dry.
The wood was bought only a short
time ago by Joseph Eaton and James
Reynolds of WinSlOw, and the loss to
them is considerable. 1t is estimated
that about 200 cords were burned. and
that the value of this wood was about
$4,000; insured for $4,000
The smoke from the burning piles
was black and dcncc and as it rolled
high into the air it looked from Water
vile as though good part of Winslow
was being burned up. Many people
went over to find the cause and extent
of the fire and Il great number of the
Winslow people helped swell the num-
bcrs of on-loOkcrs. 1t is thought that
the fire was caused by a spark from
the engine of the w. & F., although it
may have been due to something else.

AVERT
CAR SHORTAGE

NEW YORK. Sept 20.-By the use
of a rigid boycott on inscriptions
lines and by the elimination of insidi-
Gus preferences to favored shippers,
declared to be worse than open re-
bates, the railway magnates of the
East propose to make a strenuous eff
fort to reduce fall car shortage, which
admittedly is threatening the industries
of the entire country.
In this important movement the men
who control nearly seven-tenths of all
the railway mileage in the United
States have determined to ask the in
terstate commerce commission to as
sist by placing it's approval on some
of the measures that will be adopted.
With this end in view, several impor-
tart Conferences are to be held, proba-
bly, at Chicago, between Commissioners
Franklin X. Lane and ]. w. Midgley,
who has been trying, at the request
Of the railway magnates to correct the
evils of car diversion and detention or
retention In the coming meetings
Midgley will place before Lane a de-
tailed plan which has received the APP
proval Of Hill, Hartman, Morgan and
others.

HEARING IN
PHILIPS CASE

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 20.-It is
hoped that some further light may be
shed on the mystery of the death OF
the wealthy operator, John ]. Phillips,
who was found shot to death in his
home early on the morning of Septem-
Der 8, at the preliminary hearing in
the case today Mrs. Charlotte Phil
lips, wife of the dead man, IS under
arrest on the charge of killing her hus-
band.
Friends of Mrs. Phillips are still in
dignant at the action of the authors
ties in placing her under arrest and
they believe that facts will be devel-
oped at the hearing that WIN show her
innocent of any crime.
The first story circulated in regard
to the killing was that a burglar had
done the fatal shooting, but the police,
after a thorough investigation, declar-
ed that the burglary theory was un-
tenable. Then suicide rumor was
! given credenee, as it was known that
Phillips had been victim of the
bucket shops and was in rather bad
way financially.
| But the post norton brought to
light that the man had been shot In
manner that made suicide seem out OF
the QUESTION. 1t was then that sus-
picion began to point toward Mrs
| Phillips, who told conflicting stories
/ Mrs. Phillips was placed under arrest
though the authorities admit tina
nothing has come to light that woul'
show any motive for the woman t
kill her husband.

CHARLESTON, Wash, Sept 90
Three thousand acres of as choice land

planting of orchards, especially winter
apple orchards, and all the snail
fruits. This does not mean that
Charleston Heights is not suited to the
production of peaches, cherries and

/ is unquestionably well adapted to
these fruits.
The winter apple is grown at vari-
Gus attitudes from sea level up to as
high as 5000 feet with varied success.
