STEAM CAUSED THE ALARM
OPEN VALVE FILLS ROOM WITH
VAPOR AND BOTH CON-
PANIES CALLED OUT.

At 2:35 this afternoon both fire de-
partments answered a call sent in
from the Elroy store, Fourth and Main
streets. Upon investigation, it was
found that the doors of the store were
all locked, and what was at first sup
posed to be smoke, issuing from a hole
in one of the windows. Chief Metz
with the aid of several firemen sue
ceeded in gaining an entrance to the
rear of the store and to their aston
ishment found the room to be filled
with vapor. The steam register was
found to be wide open and the steam
gushing out in great quantities. The
valve was turned off and as soon as
the front doors We're thrown open, it
was but a few moments before the
room was free from vapor.
The cause for the accident is said to
be due to the valve on the register
being open as the janitor of the build
ing was instructed to get up steam
this afternoon
1t is not known at this time the ex
tent of damage done to the stock.

Just to show them that their eH-
forts in stealing refreshments We're
appreciated and to let them know their
attentions to certain members of their

men took the sophs from their beds in
the wee small hours of this morning,
and persuaded them by little extra

Notice to Liverymen of the State.

The State Liverymen Association
has been called to meet at Everett,
Washington. October and 10, 1907. The
purpose and object of this meeting is
to organize the liverymen of the state
into an association and place them in
such a position as to enable them to
procure legislation requisite for the
protection of their property and bust
ness.
1t has long been realized by the
liverymen of the state that the stat
utes of Washington are inadequate tC
offer them the protection that is ne
cessary. and this move on the part
of the liverymen should receive. and
undoubtedly will receive. the hearty
cooperation of the liverymen of the
entire state.
Reduced fare has been arranged for,
and all liverymen of the state are ex-
pected to be present. Any further in
formation will be gladly given by,
Yours very truly,

WHERE IS LOUIS EDDY?
PAPERS HAVE ARRIVED BUT CON
v,crED MAN is STILL OUT
SIDE OF THE WALLS

Louis Eddy, the Asotin county man
who made the grandstand play to get
into the penitentiary two weeks ago
today. and who. according to one OF
the papers of this city, has been try
ing to get into the penitentlary every
dav since. has not been seen at the
state prison since the day he first tried
TO enter. Contrary to the report of
the same pape, Eddy's remititur ar
rived at the prison some ten days ago.
but Eddy has made no attempt to
get in.
This is according to the statement
Of Captain Smith, who has been acting
warden of the renitentiary since the
denarture of ex-Warden kincaid. He
says:
LAS far as I fnow, Eddy hasn't been
back since the day he first came up
here. two weeks ago. His remittitur
arrived some time ago but he hasn't
shown up since. There is some doubt
in my mind whether or not he could
be received even if he came, unless he
had some one to identify him.
Eddy was sentenced from Asotln
county for a three years term Tor
horse stealing. He appealed but the
decision was confirmed and he was
notified to report to the. penitentlary,
which he did. AS his papers had not
arrived he could not be admitted. AL
though his remittitur has arrived, he
has not shown up since.

WOMEN Do HARVESTING
Men Go to Sea When Lads and Do NJ
Farm Work.
(From abe London EXpressD


A visitor to Ouessant, off Brittany
coast. will see few, if any, Ouessantais.
All that he will see are OuessantalSes
women of Ouessant. harvesting. The
men are at sea The women do all the
work of the land. and one may see
them in their quaint short black petit
coats. their tight bodices. their black
kerchiefs on their heads, binding and
carrying corn and bending in siren
uous labor over the fail The men
of Ouessant Go no farm work. They
belong to the sea. and the sea is Jea-
lous mistress. At Is the lads SO off
as sailors. Then they serve in the
navy. When the navy sets them free
they usually reenlist so as to earn q
pension when they are too old to work.
Others are in the merchant service,
and all, navy men or merchant men,
are married. A very few are fisher
and you will rarely meet them about
in the island. When the sea is too
rough they sit and watch her. They do
not know or care about the land. The
land is woman's business.
One sees this idea in the WOmen's
costumes and in their hair, which they
wear short as the men peasants of old
time used to wear it. They are
straight, well-built, handsome women,
dark with big brown or big slate col
ored eyes. They are entirely unlike the
Breton women of the mainland and
look more like Italians. They are calm
and dignified and kindly to the strang-
er, and they are afraid of nothing eX-
cept the photographer. They do not
like photographers, for they fear that
their pictures may go abroad on post
cards, and that they would not like.
When news comes of a loss at sea-
and such news often comes-the widow
and friends of the dead man hold a
wake. In the living-room of the little
cottage, a little waXen cross, called the
"Proella, is put on a clean napkin in
the center of a table, and round it are
placed few lighted candles. The dead
mans relatives and friends are there.
and a nun reads a chapter from the
Lives of the Saints" and mumblcs
prayers for the dead. The door and
windows of the cottage are left open,
so that the spirits which are abroad
at night (the Ouessantais believe III
wandering spirits) may stop and listen
to the prayer. Those present drink
and eat a little of the national pastry
of the dangers from which they have
escaped at sea. The women tell of
dangers Which their men have met at
sea, and of their dreams at home, and
the priest comes with his incense
sWingers for the Proella, and gives
absolution at the house door. The
little church's bell sounds the glas, or
funeral knell. The widow, followed by
the priest and her friends, carries the
Proella down to the church. There,
there are prayers, and every body kiss
eS the small WaXen cross, and on the
following day of the dead" which is
the day after Ash Wednesday, the Pro-
ella is carried to the cemetery, where
1t is placed with many others in spe-
c1al place. All round the resting place
of the Proeila are tombstones And
the names on the tombstones are
names of women only, for all the CUES
