causing the loss of the Lillis Build
ing this morning, occupied by the
Wenatchee Restaurant and Huck &
Fitch jewelry store. The alarm was
given and the fire department was
called out. The blaze was found to
be in the upstairs and is said to have
been due to a roomer upstairs throw
ing cigarette stub onto the floor.
The carpet and the bedding caught
on fire and caused considerable

N. I. COMPANY
CLOSING OUT
ESTABLISHMENT
OF WHICH GUY WARING is
HEAD SELLING OUT-ROOSE.
WELT SAID TO BE INTERESTED

The Methow Trading company.
operating stores at Methow, Twisp
and Pateros, is selling out and will
quit business. This is the company
of which Guy Waring is the head
and in which Theodore Roosevelt in
times past has been a stockholder.
The Methow Trading company is one
of the old land marks of the upper
country, having been established
years ago, beginning with a little
store at Winthrop. Eventually there
were five branches, two more being
located at Barron and Ventura, be-
sides the three mentioned above.
The Methow Trading company is one
of the oldest high class institutions
in the up-river country and the fact
that it is retiring from business is
an item of great interest. 1t is
known that the three stores have
been getting a sufficient share of the
general business, so that it is not
clear as to the motive for closing.
The company also owns a grist mill
and saloon at Winthrop.
Temperance Saloon.
The saloon operated bv this COM
pany is one Of the freaks in this line
in the United States. It is operated
strictly in accordance with the law.
but more than that as ON expressed
it, "It is operated as Christ would
run it." No one is allowed to buv
booze if his family needs the money.
Only certain amount of liuuor is
allowed to one individual. Realiz-
ing that there was a real demand for
liquor of various quantities the own
ers in public spirited manner took
it upon themselves to furnish it and
thus keep out low class house. The
barkeeper never treats and no man +
| asked to have drink. It was from
the plan of this saloon that the noted
| resort was opened in New York cit,
few years ago, which had amons
its advocates moneyed men promi

New York Institution ran only a rev

Seattle, Dec 8.-Will the strike of
the switchmen's union be settled on
the railroads terms? That it will
seems to be the belief of the railroad
officials here today. 1t seems to be
the most popular belief among these
men that the strike will naturally
die out and that the members of
the switchmen's union, whose strike
has crippled traffic for the last week.
will go back to work under the same
old working conditions and the ad-
vance of two cents per hour, which
the 13 western railroads have offered
to give them.
The strike will not be settled on
such plans as these, if we have any
thing to say about it," strikers in
Spokane declare almost unanimously
today.
The increase in the wages that
we have asked is but a small part
of our demands. Our greatest objec-
tion is to the age limit and the doc
tors examination to which We are
subjected before being taken into the
employ of the railroad companies. "
they say.
The Hillyard shops will be thrown
open again and about 500 employees
of the Great Northern. who have
been idle for nearly week, will be
allowed to go back to work.
The situation looks brighter ali
the way around according to the
| statements of the officials today.
Freight is being moved over the Nor
thern Pacific and the Great Northern
slowly but steadily. and passenger
trains are coming back to schedules
quite rapidly.
1t is apparent, however. that MEM
bers of the switchmen's union in Spo-
kane are expecting a call to go to
work on a compromise. which it is
claimed the railroads are attempting
to make with them. 1t may be three
cents extra per hour and a modifica-
ton of working rules
