The Fire.

A fire in a couple of tents on
Yakima street near Sixth street,
called out the fire department just
when it was the hottest last Satur.
day afternoon. The tents and con-
tents were so quickly inflammable
that the fire boys only arrived in
time to throw water on the ruins.
The tents were occupied by Mr..
Armstrong, the insurance man and
family and John Mehl. The form
er's loss in tents, furniture, kitchen
utensils and wearing apparel was
about 1915. Mr.. Mehl lost about
$75 worth Of clothing.
The origin of the fire is difficult
to ascertain, the occupants of the
tents had not been in them for some
hours, Mr.. Armstrong being in
Hover and his wife and sick child
were in Spokane and Mr.. Mehl had
been away for some time. This
seems to indicate that it was of in
cendiary origin and several theories
are proposed but nothing definite
is known.

AUDITOR (. j. SMITH
CALLS FOR STATEMENT
The Banks of the State are
Warned That They Had
Better be in Time.

Auditor Smith is beginning
to receive the statements of the
condition of State banks as called
for on date of June 2, a Bran
don Bank being first to respond.
In this connection A u d j t o r
Smith states that the law requires
these statements to be in his
hands within ten days after the
call is made, so that it is incumb-
ent on the bankers to have them
here by the 18th of the month.
In case the returns are not made
in ten days it is the duty of the
Auditor to publish the names of
the delinquent banks, and he is
also required to assess the delin-
quents with a fine of $40 for the
first days delay, same to be
doubled the next day and SO on
till the report is received.
This is one feature Of the law
that has never been enforced
heretofore, but the attention of
the Auditor being called to the
requirement he states that he is
going to see thatit is carried out.
1t has always been the case that
a score or more banks hold back
their statement two or three
weeks, when it is just as easy,
provided they keep a set of books
properly, to make the report one
day as another. Their balance
sheet for the date named in the
call, June 2 in this instance, be-
ing all thatis necessary. Clarion

The Mcanest Man.

A letter written by a woman
decided a contest for the office of
president of a mems club in the
Bronz a few days ago, says the
New York Tribune. There were
two candidates for the place; one
a clerk in the New York financial
institution, whose young wife
had been a working girl, the
other a wealthy manufacturer,
with a reputation among his
neighbors for "closeness. " The
day before the election each
member Of the little club received
a typewriter letter, signed by a
woman whom all knew, which
began with these words: If
what write you is not true, it
is libel. Then she said that the
club should not honor it's mean
est man, = and related some
amusing incidents to DEM onstrate
that she was not mistaken in her
estimate Of the man. In closing
she wrote, What do you think
of q man who has his barn
painted and says to his wife:
That's your birthday present.
IL you can afford to elect that
kind Of q man for your preside lent,
90 ahead! The alleged mean
est man was defeated.

r. II. Henry for Congress.

In declaring for R. H. Henry
for Congress, the Kinds County
Gazette prints the folliWing COM
plimentary editorial,
After considering the claims
of all the candidates for Congress
from this district, their general
qualifications, ability, ETC., the
Gazette is supporting Col. r. H.
Henry, the well-known editor Of
the Clarion-Ledger. for the fol-
lowing reasons:
''First-He equals, if he does
not surpass, his opponents in
ability, and he is our countryman
and friend, having resided in
Kinds county more than a quart
er of a century, and other things
being equal, he is entitled to the
vote of his home county.
Second He is a man of af-
fairs and long experience in the
consideration and discussion of
pubic matters, being well posted
on economic and public questions.
Third He is a gentleman of
dignity, honorable, high-minded,
frank and absolutely honest and
sincere in his dealing with men
and measures.
<f
'sFourth-He always speaks his
mind freely and clearly on quest
ions of the day, and will be found
usually correct in his analysis
and expression.
Fifth HE is a practical, sue
cessful business man, and never
fails in anything he undertakes.
He is a man Of action rather
than of words, giving his whole
time to whatever he attempts,
hence his unvarying success.
sSixth--He is not a dema-
gogue and treats every one ex-
actly alike at all times, politely
but not exclusively, having no
patience with, or respect for
tricks and Of the gushing polite
ians.
Seventh-Heis is in the prime of
life, of vigorous constitution, and
capable Of any kind Of hard work;
not too young nor too old, but
just the right age ripe in years
and well grounded in experience.
Eighth Colonel Henry has
fought as many battles for Demo-
cracy as any man in or out of
the State, and has never before
asked for public office at the
hands Of the people, being always
willing to serve in the ranks,
and never asked for reward, his
voice and pen always being at
| the service of his party.
" Ninth He has always been
the friend Of the plain people,
from whom he boasts that he
spring. Heis in close touch with
| the laborer and the farmer, their
advocate atall times, as the re-
cords Of his paper will show.
Confident that Colonel Henry
| is best equipped man in the race
| for Congress the Gazette will
give him it's earnest support and
predicts his nomination as the
successor Of Hon. John SHARP
Williams.

ODD USES OF: GLASS.
Pavemcnts, Water Pipes and
Telegraph Poles Made Of It.

1t was only a few months ago
that plans were drawn for a
house to be built of compressed
opalescent glass bricks to be
erected at Beechhurst, L. |. The
house will be built, as regards
material, very similar to some
small one and two-story office
buildings which have been
erected in Des Moines, Iowa.
These buildings have been pro-
nounced indestructible by build
ing experts.
Glass pavements are in use in
Lyons, France. These pave
ments are made of ceramo-
crystal, ceramic stone or de-
Viftihed glass. They are laid in
the form Of blocks, eight inches
square, each block containing
sixteen parts in the form of
checkers. These blocks are so
closely fitted together that water
cannot pass between them, and
the whole pavement looks like
one large checkerboard.
This ceromo-crystal pavement,
it is said by the manufacturers,
has greater resistance than
stone. It is a poor conductor Of
cold, and ice will not form upon
it readily. Dirt will not ac-
cunulte upon it as easily as upon
stone, and it will not retain
microbes; it is more durable than
stone and just as cheap.
Glass water pipes which have
a covering Of asphalt to prevent
fracture are in use in some parts
of Germany. They give thorough
protection against moisture in
the ground, against the actions
of acids and alkalis and they
cannot be penetrated by gasses.
Glass telegraph poles are being
manufactured at Grossalmerode,
a town near Frankfort, Ger
many. The glass mass of which
the poles are made is strengthen
ed by interlacing and INTERVENING
with strong wire threads. These
glass poles have a great advant-
age over the wooden ones be-
cause of their resistance against
the r.syages of insects in tropical
countriesIand against the climatic
influence of rain; wind and ice in
other parts.
Dresses Of glass cloth have
been known for some time. This
glass cloth has the same simmer
and brilliancy of color as silk. It
is soft to the touch and pliable in
the extreme and of so durable a
nature that it never wears out.
In addition to glass cloth there
are manufactured glass curtains,
carpets, table cloths and napkins.
In all the world there is but
one collection of glass flowers,
and only one man who can make
them, it is said. The collection
belongs to Harvard University
and is on exhibition in the Ware
collection on the third floor of the
university museum. The maker
of them died in 1895 and his son
is now well on in middle age.
With his death the secret will
nrohahlv die foo
In Colorado there is a bridge
spanning the Royal Gorge of the
Arkansas River, a bridge half a
mile high. Itreaches from one
cliff to the other, with a deep,
dreadful chasm beneath it. The
floor Of this wonderful bridge is
made of plate glass one and a
half inches thick set in steel
framework.

BY WlNiFRED BLACK.

The new baby was surprised the
other day.
He found out that he could make
remarks. Real remarks-not squalls.
He saw a sunbeam dancing In the
goldfish bowl, and he approved the
sight He raised his shadowy eye
brows. turned his heavy little head 10
one side and said in distinctly kindly
and patronizing voice. "Ah. goo.
When he had said 1t he jumped As
II something had frightened him. Am
the one that did that" he thought
Then II came over him again. and he
said "Ah, GOO" again.
This time he didn't jump; he merely
made his eyes very big and stared all
around to see IL the goldfish knew who
II was that had spoken.
After that II was plain sailing.
He could talk. and he knew II.
II took some courage, OF course. but
he was a bold blade, that baby. and
he would straighten himself up. pun
out his little chest and say his little
sentence bravely
All day long he said IL; sometimes
he looked around for approval, some
times he thought ii over all to him-
self. and grew proud and pulled up
about It. and sometimes he dared the
