How Marshall Field Made Money

TI0W TsCs0 Utd00 UOU0ys
 In the early eighties, when the First National bank of Wallawalla was not as big as 1t is now, pretty nearly had my breath taken away one day by good looking stranger hailing from Chicago. He threw letter of credit for $SO,o0O from a Chicago bank on my desk and quietly said, "Can you cash thatY' I looked him over once or twice. made quick estimate of all the loose cash I thought we could scrape up and said: "Yes. How do you want it?" He gave a smile, sat down and said. q think I'll take it in land." In months time. as his authorized agent, I bought about 30,- 900 acres of cheap railroad land for my Chicago friend, taking the deeds in my name at his request, paying an average of $265 an acre. He cleared over $1,OOO,OOO on this one deal. His name was Marshall Field. - Senator Ankeny's "Reminiscences in Leslie's Weekly

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS CO
The Light of the Firehy.

When man will attain the perfect vacuum, then the rude ether blush of the electric light bulb will give forth many times more light, purified and heatless, soft and healing, as the light of the stars, penetrating as the sun. An examination of the frefy' when emitting flames or light shows bodily movements that cannot be understood to mean anything else than vacuum producing. The lights are always seen in the vacuum sack on the back. Im- mediately before emitting light the insect will fatten the body, draw the legs in, droop the head, seemingly con- tracting in all directions; then with the relaxation come the flame and light. The bodies of the glowworm and frefy always are transparent when filled with flame. The blades of grass or other debris are seen plainly through the bodies. Here are cases of nature dealing with x rays.-Chicago Tribune.

BOTTLING WORKS FIRE SUBJECT OF
 INVESTIGATION
Chief Mooney and Capt. Ar mold Have Talk With h.
 surance Adjusters Over Cause of Fire January IT..

A conference was held today at which Capt. Arnold, Chief Mooney of the Fire department and several insur- ance adjusters were present. The sub ject under investigation was the fire at the bottling works of the Bomstein Bros. in Kossuth street which occur red early Sunday morning, Jan. IT.. Conflicting statements have been made by the brothers and others connected with the business. It is alleged that after the fire one of the brothers stat ed to Chief Mooney that there was only $1 900 insurance on the barn which burned. Later he said there was $3,000 insurance.
 Another story is that John King, who had been in the habit of sleeping in the barn, had been discharged. It is said that King reported afterwards that he had been sent to New Haven on the night when the fire occurred on an errand for the firm but that he could not find the place he was sent to. While these statements do not themselves prejudice the claims of the Bomstein Bros. and may be easily and credibly explained, they have given the insurance adjusters an opportunity to hold up the claims for the damages and call for an examination.
 The conference this morning revealed nothing of importance and it is pos sible that a thorough investigation will establish an innocent cause for the fire

GRAND LIST MAY DECREASE
 BY $5OO,OOO Board of Relief Begins Feb. 1 Work of Hearing Ap-
 peals.
Board of Apportionment Meets Tomorrow After noon to Receive Auditors Report Meetings Not to Conflict With Council Meetings.

The board of Apportionment will meet tomorrow afternoon for the pur- pose of officially receiving the report of the auditor and assigning the public hearings before, the board. One change this year from the practice of past years will be the holding of the first hearing on the first Tuesday in Febru- ary instead of the first Monday. The new charter provides for the change in order that the meeting may not in terfere with the regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
 Those who have appeals to make from the listed valuations of the board of Assessors can make them by ap- bearing before the board of Relief, at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 10th, and 12th, from a. m. to p. nn., and on the evenings of the 3rd and 12th from to o'clock.
 The board has the power to raise values as well as decrease them, and in many cases where those who ap- peared last year thought they were paying more than their neighbors the board took the names of the owners whose property was compared. During the past year the Board of Assessors have been looking up the property complained about, hence many of the increases on the list of 1908 are due to the attention called to property. by owners of other property in the neigh borhood. Auditor Heating estimates that the Board of Relief will decrease the grand list by about $500, ,000.
 The. indications are that the major ity of the complaints will come from small taxpayers and that some of the large owners of property in Main St., north of Fairfield avenue will appear.

It was reported at St. Vincent's hos pital to-day that Paul Walki. who was taken there Sunday suffering from a wound made by a pipe stem in his eye would recover if no complications set in! The wound made by the strange weapon in the hands of his brother was dangerous both on account of it's location and the nicotine with which it was covered. The stem fortunately missed the eye ball but passing under it entered the socket to the depth of one and one half inches.
