 CTS and Inconvenience to
 Citizens.
 Elba. Oct. 15.-(Special.) )-The en- tire electric plant of Elba was destroy ed by fire early this morning.
 The Ire broke out about o'clock. It's origin is a mystery. As 1t was run by water power. it was thought that there was little or no danger from fire.
 On account of the power house be- ing situated about half a mile from town, the city water was not access ible, hence there was no way to eX- tlnguish the fire.
 The building was totally destroyed and the machinery. except what was under water, was utterly ruined.
 The loss of the machinery alone is about S3.O00. The valua of the house has not been estimated. The house was owned by J. w. Conner. brother of the Governor. It was only partly covered by insurance.
 Dr. H. D. Boyd. general manager of the company which operated the light plant. says it 5 too early -to give out any statement about future plans. The town will suffer great inconvenience until another power house is erected.

VALUES ARE UNEQUAL.
Yakima People Discuss Means Of Sc
curing Uniformity.

Taxation of property, or rather high
valuations of property, is matter
which has interested fruit growers OF
the North Yakima community and
when the recent organization Of Mob
Hill growers was formed and which
is known as the Yakima Valley Mu-
tual Fruitgrowers' association, a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the subject, says the Yakima Re-
public.
This committee has not concluded
it's work but has reported progress
and asked permission to continue its
investigations, which permission has
been granted. To the association,
which meets Tuesday night at the
Summit View school house, there be-
ing standing room only, the commit
tee reported that 1t had procured the
valuation on few places of each OF
several districts in the county.
A great discrepancy in valuations
was believed to exist. In some cases
the rise is small and In some large.
Instances of an increase of 800 per
cent were reported and in one case
a decrease of IS per acre Further re-
port will be submitted at the next
meeting.

In order to further guard agalns
the spread OF diphtheda and scarle.
tina Superintendent ]. S. Landers ha.
given Instructions that both the Haw.
thorne and Field schools shall again
be fumigated tomorrow. The weeks
school will close this Afternoon and
tomorrow morning the two building
will be throughly cleaned. The rooms
will then be fumlgated 80 that they
will be in good condition for use Mon

NO further cases OF diphtheria or
OF scarletina have appeared among
the school children OF the city and
with the precautions being taken on
every hand the school people and the
city health department hope to quick
ly stamp out the epidemic.
Today the only effect of the scare
has been a decrease in the attend
ance at the Hawthorne and Field
schools. The little Field school has
been especially hard hit. The school
is devoted to primary work and
seemingly many mothers have
thought 1t best to keep their children
at home for a day or two. In one
room Of the Field school only about
half the pupils were present and the
entire school has about 80 absentees
But UP to noon today Miss Rosine
Epple. principal OF the school. had
not learned OF any new cases among
the children of the school.
At the Hawthorne school no fur
ther cases of either diphthetia or
scarletina had been reported today,
according to Miss Viva Warren, prin-
cipal OF that school.
Practice Fire Drills.
In all of the schools yesterday the
pupils were put through the fire drill,
attention having been called to the
subject by the terrible catastrophe in
Ohio. In the fire drills the pupils
are called out suddenly by an alarm
sounded upon a triangle or drum and
they are then marched quickly from
the building under their respective
IeacnerS.
Several months ago superintendent
Landers issued instructions that the
fire drills be practiced daily in the
different schools until they were
thoroughly learned by the children.
1t was also instructed that after they
had been taught they be practiced
occasionally so as to keep the chill
dren under discipline in case of an
accident.
