SUFFRAGE A PARAMOUNT ISSUE

that Mr.. Asquith's aim Is to divert

be called upon to oppose them, has
always been in sympathy with them.

Fenced U. s. Land.

Dick Reckman, farmer living
near Grass Valley, Sherman county,
was fined $50 yesterday at Portland
and sentenced to spend SIX hours in
jail by Judge Wolverton In the Uni
ted States district court, having been
indicted by the grand jury on a
charge Of illegally fencing govern
ment land. says The Dalles Chron-
icle.
The land which Reckman is said
TO have fenced is in Sherman coun-
ty. He had a fence around 740 acres.
Reckman's defense was that he did
not know he was doing wrong and
that the fence was removed as soon
as the question was called TO his at
tention.
Reckman was represented in court
by counsel and a pea OF guilty as
charged was entered.
To save Reckman the expense Of
a trip to Portland the court will allow
him to serve his sentence in the Sher-
man county Jail instead OF Multno-
nah.

Spokane Has Firebug.

That there is a flrebug in Spokane
who makes speciality of lumber
mills is the belief of the majority oil
the members of the fire department
who have assisted in the fight against
fire in five big mills in the last year,
says the Spokane Chronicle.
The Central Lumber company on
the corner Of Jefferson street and
College avenue, is the latest mill to
be completely destroyed. The fire
was discovered Wednesday shortly af-
ter midnight by Merchant Policeman
Howard who turned In the alarm. The
fire spread rapidly and general
alarm was turned in, calling out ali
the apparatus In the city.
The fire was a hot one and threat
ened for time to spread to the near
by dwellings, the wind carrying the
heat and burning cinders over wide
area. The fire is believed to have
started in the rear OF the office build
ing. It spread rapidly and came near
catching the watchman, who slept In
front Of the building.
Incendarlsm is the only cause to
which the fire can be attributed. The
plant was operated by electricity and
great care was manifested in install
ing the wires to make certain as pos
sible no short circuit could result. An
other strong feature is the fact that
the mill, as well as all others which
have been burned, caught fire in the
dead OF night when there was the
least possible danger.
The loss will run between $4,000
and $4,000 with insurance amount
ing to about $4,000. The machinery
in the min was all destroyed and much

piled in the yard was all saved.
