Frasier's Store Burned i.

q. V. Frasier's store caught fire by a
kerosene lamp exploding in his back store
Saturday evening at about o'clock and
and in less time than it takes to tell il
the room was full of smoke making il
impossible to stay in the building. Mr..
Frasier by the help of two or three sue
ceeded in getting the mail boxes out and
he gathered up all the mail and put it
into the mail bag and gave it to some
one to carry out but they dropped it ia
the building and it was burned They
saved but very few goods in the store or
household goods upstairs Mrs. Frasier,
who was up stairs at the time got out
few things but the stock was nearly a
total loss Mr.. Frasier at this writing
estimates his loss at from $4,000 to
$4,000 after taking out his insurance. A
cash register with from 500 to $3.50 in
it was burned. Some of his papers in his
safe were not much burned. The building
belonged to D. c. harrington and is
insured but do not know for how
much. 1t is great loss to Mr.. Frasier
and'to the place and public. 1t was a
finely equipped store with big stock of
goods and was having good trade for
several miles around The post office is
moved into the depot for the present.
The tenement house east of the store
occupied by Thomas Founier was burned
They succeeded in saving all his house
hold goods except two stoves. The
building was owned by Mr.. Elliott and
was insured. 1t was hard fight to keep
Clayton Farrington's buildings from
burning. Such fires are a great loss to
a small village like this and the people
are too often called out to see their places
of business go up in fire and smoke. 1t
seems that with the water and power
we have here we might have arrange
ments for fighting fires. No place could
do it any cheaper.

WORK IS
BEING RESUMED
Railroad Construction, Mining, Log
ging and Building Operations
Again Starting Up.

! Spokane, Feb. 2.-Railroad con-
struction, minine, logging, lumber
and building operations are resum-
ing in all parts of the Pacific North
west, and the projects so far in
hand give every promise of making
this year the most active in the his
tory of the country west of the
Rocky Mountains The building of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
and the Spokane, Portland and Seat
tie railroads through western Mon
tana, Northern Idaho, Washington
and Western Oregon will open scores
of new towns. and 65 miles of the
Spokane & British Columbia road,
in addition to which the various
steam and electric lines building and
projected in the Spokane country
will be the means OF affOrding COM
munication to vast timber, mineral
and grain belts, as well as establish
ing new settlements.
More than 5000 men are already
at work on the North Bank, the Ri
paria branch and the St Paul and
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle lines
and it is expected that this number
viii be doubled as soon as the spring
work begins. All conditions favor
logging operations, and crews are be-
ing sent into the forests every day.
/ The mines in the panhandle of Idaho,
which contain the richest silver-lead
producers in the world, are also en-
larging their forces, while along the
boundary and in Eastern Washington
and in the Elk City and Buffalo
/ Hump districts, as well as in North

year. the cultivation of from 5000
to 10000 acres of land to be put un-

THE PASSING OF THE UNSOPHIS-
TICATED COUNTRY GIRL.

There are some ideals to which
we cling in spite of the fact that
modern methods and environments
have practically eliminated them
from the realm of actually. One
that we cannot forget is the sweet,
care free, country girl Of fact and
fiction. The girl of the pass, who had
her home on the farm and went out
in the field with other laborers and
toiled from daylight till dark, hav-
ing little time for improvement OF
mind or personal appearance, has dis
appeared How differently the girl
of the Wenatchee Valley and sur
rounding irrigated tracts all over the
country are situated today. We see
a highly Intellectual maiden to whom
rusticity is a sociological | problem.
AS the country girl in SO many cases
is a college girl, new value has been
given to country life. 10 her the
meanest flower that grows can
afford the opportunity for
knowledge of botany. She talks
learnedly on all subjects pertaining to
fruit culture, rotation of crops, irri-
cation, ETC., and still have time to
play the role of Priscilla, as the
daily rural delivery, telephone and
short distance to town makes social
enjoyments a simple matter. There
is no doubt that in the future. one
must look in the old songs and ro-
mances for the old-time country
girl; but in real life, would any one
dare to prefer the bushes of unso-
phisjication to the pale cast Of
thought"
