It frequently happens that strange
articles, bound for a never ceasing

press Offices and are always sent along

Not long ago a loaf Of bread from
a Dutch bakery in Milwaukee which
was spoiled in the baking, was started

appearance of anything other than that
which it really was.

FIRE AT THE OLIVE
What Might Have Been a Serious ConfIsgration Was Confined to
 a Single Closet

There was d fire at the Olive yester- day morning which might have been d very serious matter had it not have been for it's prompt discovery and the quick work of the fire department Fire in some unknown manner started in the linen closet adjoining a bath room on the lower floor. A guest com ing from up stairs noticed the smoke and called the attention Of Mrs Fern walt who is in charge. to it. She made a hurried investigation and discovered the source of the smoke. Opening the bath room door. she saw the blaze and realizing that little headway could be made fighting the flames alone, she closed the door and turned in the alarm. II transpired that this was the very best thing she could have done for the window of the bath room was closed and there was no opening into the linen closet Consequently tho flames were almost smothered and upon the arrival of the department, iJ was but the work of d moment 10 ex- tnguish the fire.
 Had it occurred in the night time or had it made a greater start before be- ing discovered. the results would cer- taiuly have been serious. AS it is the loss in the house linen ana wood work of the closet is estimated at between SI5 and SloU0. which is fully covered by insurance carried through Agents Windes and Nielsen.

This division gave a new interest to

In the four cared race Yale got off

the end of the two mile course was n

Determined to retrieve the day for

and threatens a postponement of the
Yale-Harvard boat races until this af.

A number of big bets were recorded
today, ten TO nine and five to four on

There is much disappointment
among Harvard men at the enforced
absence of the president. They had
been cheered by the thought that his

would offset the expected presence of

The largest sum ever issued in
money orders to one man by north
west postoffice has just passed
through the Pendleton postoffice and
has been sent to Washington, D. c.,
where the postoffice department will
issue drafts for the amount, $685. 900.
The story comes from the East
Oregonian's Washington correspond
ent and is one of extreme interest.
In May, 1907, Michael E. Riley, now
of this city and a well known north
west contractor, then residing in Ia
coma, secured $50 money orders, of
the denomination of s100 each. paying
fee of 30 cents each for the orders
or a total of SIS for the entire $685.
900. The orders were secured by
Mr. Riley, supposedly, as a means OF
carrying his money with him safely!
Shortly after securing the orders,
Mr.. Riley came to Spokane and later
came to this city where he is now To-
Gated. The orders, like all money or
ders. were good for but one year and
when the date Of their limitation pass
ed Mr.. Riley failed to have them re-
newed but presented them at Pendle-
ton postoffice a short time ago to be
cashed by Postmaster Brown.
AS the orders had expired or were
null on account of the time limit fix
ed by the postoffice department they
could not be cashed, but instead Mr..
Riley made application through the
Pendleton postoffice and these appli-
cations, % in number calling for ST.
600 each, have just reached the post
office department at Washington,
where the interesting story was Sc
cured by the East Oregonian's cor.
respondent.
The postoffice department will is
sue to Mr. Riley the amount of the
orders in drafts, which will be cashed
at local banks.
The task of issuing the applications
for renewals of the $50 orders was
one of huge magnitude as each one
of the $50 orders had to be personally
inspected and compared to the ad-
vices from the Tacoma office which
issued them and it required the great
er part of day to inspect the pile
of orders and issue the % applications
for renewals.
So far as is known this Is the larg-
est amount to pass through any
northwest postoffice to one individ-
lal
