FIRE DESTROYS
FEED STABLE,
GRESHAM G. LAMAR WILL LOSE
ABOUT $500 ON STOCK WITH
INSURANCE TO COVER 1T.

Fire, which broke out Saturday
in tin ship in the corner of Gresham
& Lamar's stable destroyed property
worth possibly $1,000 on which there
is insurance to cover.
The flames spread rapidly in the
feed stuff and infamable material
and while the department got out
promptly, the entire stable was ablaze
by the time the water was turned on.
BY that time it looked as If the entire
population of the town was on hand,
and considerable excitement and con-
fusion resulted
The department soon got things
under control and held the fire to the
one building. All vehicles and horses
were saved, but Gresham & Lamar
will lose considerably on feed stuff,
harness, ETC., which is covered by in
surance. The building is the property
Of Felix Derryberry and the loss is
covered by policy said to be $1,000.

Uncle SAM WON'T
PAY PIKE TOLLS
CHARGES THAT THREE cOMPAN-
les ARE COLLECTING PlkAGE
IN VIOLATION OF ORDER.

The Government postal authorities
at Washington have refused to pay
toll for the rural carriers for the last
three months on the Williamsport,
Spring Hill and Bear Greek pixies on
the ground that these turnpike COM
ranes are taking toll without au-
thority
Il will be remembered that a few
months ago the Turnpike Commission
els ordered certain toll gates opened
until some specified work was done.
No report has ever been made on the
accomplishment of this work, but it is
said the tMnpikes named above have
been taking toll without waiting for
authority from the Commissioners.
As it is a serious ohense to stop
the I, s. mail, it is scarcely possible
that the rural carriers will be
stopped from going through the gates
Of the pixies named even if the Gov
eminent never pays any toll. And as
the Government can not be sued it is
difficult to understand how the turn
pixies are going to collect.

SOCIAL SIDE
OF CHURCH LIFE
COL EoeERToN READS INTEREST.
ING PAPER TO CONGREGATION
OF FIRST NJ. Z. CHURCH.

There was a large congregation
present on Sunday morning al the
First Methodist church to hear a Law
sermon or address by Col. John E.
Edgerton on the Social Side OF
Church Life. Col. Edgerton's adj
dress was a logical. interesting and
most comprehensive discussion of the
problem that is coming more and
more 70 the attention of the church.
He took the position that where the
church has destroyed evil and per
nicious social influences it must give
the people something clean and whole
some in their place in order to answer
the social longings of the individual.
This paper was read by Col. Edger-
ton before the Laymen's Brotherhood
Conference of the Columbia District,
held at Pulaski on Saturday and was
The subject of much favorable com
nent. At the urgent request of the
members the same address will be
submitted to the conference of the
Franklin District and will then be pub

BURNED TO DEATH.
Former Weston Citizen Loses Life in
Fire at Santa Monica, Calf.

w ''NhheA %'ANhbNof Nahhs
William B. Madge, a veteran of the
civil war we'll known at Weston, was
burned TO death Wednesday night,
February 10, at his home in Santa
Monica, California, says the Weston
Leader.
BILLY" Madge occupied small
house which he had himself built in
Santa Monica. Since the death of his
mother (widow OF the late j. T
Downing. who formerly resided near
Weston) he had lived entirely alone.
and was almost helpless from rheu-
matism. Every night he took NOR
phine in order that he might get a
little sleep. Wednesday evening a
neighbor II. d. Houghton, went in
and administered morphine to the suf-
ferer and upon his departure left a
lamp burning in the bedroom. Some
time later it is supposed this lamp
exploded as a noise was heard by
neighbors and the house was found in
flames. All efforts to extingulsh the
fire were futile, and the body of Mr..
Madge, burned to a cinder, was found
In the cellar of the ruins.
Mr.. Madge was 60 years old He
served during the war with the Third
New York cavalry. His only known
relative is cousin. Mrs. Alice Roose-
welt, wife of cousin of President
Roosevelt. The remains were inter-
red with military honors in the ceme-

TOLL BRIDGES FOR DEsCHUTEs.
Government May Construct Crossings
ut Ferry and Warm Springs.

A press dispatch from Washing
ton. d. c.. states that Secretary Gar,
field of the interior department has
drafted a bill for two bridges across
Warmspring river on the reservation
and across the Deschutes river, TO
cost $4,000, the tolls to be collected
from users AS only a small appro-
priation is asked and the bill provides
for the repayment Of the fund to the
government in tolls, 1t Is quite likely
that favorable action will be had on
this measure, especially as the need
for the bridges hac been urged by
Superintendent Covey of the Warm
spring reservation in a report to the
bureau of Indian affairs.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr.. Covey was making an effort
to secure these bridges for the reser-
walton. saws the Madras Pioneer He
made an unsuccessful attempt to get
an appropriation from Wasco county
this year to repair the roads and
bridges in that part Of the reservation
living in Wasco county. and some
time ago an effort was made to get
bridge across the Deschutes at the
ferry. likewise without success. All
these efforts having failed in the
past. Mr. Covey turned his attention
70 securing government aid for maxi
ing needed repairs, and the press dis
patch quoted above indicates that the
project has the endorsement of the
interior department.
These improvements are very
much needed. The present mode of
crossing the Deschutes to the reserva-
ton is by ferry boat, and 1t is not
only inconvenient at times, as the
ferry is not operated after dark, but
the toll is high enough to restrict the
patronage to those who must of ne
cessity cross the river. On the
Warmspring river the need for
bridge is even greater as during the
past summer the old bridge across
that stream on The Dalles road col
lapsed. since which time there has
been no bridge. While the river can
be forded in the summer time, ae
certain seasons the river Is too high
to be forded and as there IS no ferry,
at those times 1t forms n barrier to
travel over that road. For these rea-
sons 1t will be a matter of great sat
istaction If the government appro-
pirates sufficient money to build the
two bridges,

Gardeners Busy With Truck Patches

Gardeners Busy with Truck PatcheS'
Work in the gardens, both in the
city and country, was begun at an
unusually early date this season, be-
cause Of the favorable condition OF
the soil and the weather. says the
Yakima Republic. Progress is be-
ing rapidly made in the planting of
early seed and sets. A larger acre
age, 1t is said, will be devoted to the
garden this year than heretofore.
There is greater demand for the pro-
ducts of the garden than has been
generally satisfied by local garden
ers at ordinary prices.
AS a matter Of fact, good garden
vegetables and choice fruits are as
high in price in this valley as In the
cities on the sound. Choice supplies
in these lines are shipped away. 1t
was said last fall that, in order to
enjoy a really good peach or pear,
residents of Yakima would have to
go to Seattle, st. Paul or New York
to obtain 1t.
North Yakima people are promised
better conditions in that respect this
year. The fruit yield, II the average
production prevails per acre, will
be practically doubled, while 1t is said
that the garden truck acreage will be
nearly twice as great as that of last
year.
