TWO BUSINESS
ROOMS GUTTED
Early Morning Fire in Bus
mess District.
LEWIS AND Killing LOSERS
Several Offices are Totally
Destroyed,

Origin of the Fire is Not Known but
Is Believed to Have Started In an
omcc Room. Over the Lewis Gro
Gerry.
The $4,000 hardware stock of the
King company was damaged to the
extent of about $4,000. the magnin-
cent grocery stock of the Ralph T..
Lewis company was almost totally
ruined, the large stock of furniture OF
the Hoover -Rowlands company was
badly damaged and the offices of Il.
G. Smith, John II. Clark p. Drake,
Emerson Schoenlaub. Patrick Mona
han and j. j. Schoenlaub, were COM
pletely wiped out, in disastrous
conflagration which broke out on
North Main street shortly before |
O'Clock Saturday morning. The total
fire loss will aggregate 100000. 1t
was exactly one year ago when Ma
rion suffered fire loss of 100000 in
the great Uhler and Phillips blaze.
The fire had its origin in the rear
part of the suite of rooms located di-
rectly over X. IT, Lewis and company,
and occupied by j. J. Schoenlaub,
Emerson sohoenlaub, p. Drake and
son and Patrick Monahan. The cause
is not known but supposedly was due
TO the carelessness OF an Office clerk
in throwing away lighted match or
cigar stub.
The blaze was first noticed by
Patrolman James Thompson. He was
passing IN front of the Killing block
shortly before | o'clock when he no.

ticed an unusually bright light IN
the rear lart of Lewis store. A has
" investigation disclosed tnat the
rear part of the block was ablaze.
Thompson turned In box SIS and the
Central and West-End fire depart
ments responded.
The flames spread with great rapid
ity and for more than an hour, the
anxious spectators believed that Il
would be impossible to save any part
of the three blocks. A sky light over
Lewis store furnished first class
lire trap and the blaze gnawed up
wards into the roof. 1t was only
few mini,es until the fire was shoot
ing upwards thirty feet above the
the roof and a very spectacular and
thrilling scene was presented.
Too much cannot he said for the
Marion firemen IN their great efforts
TO master the flames. From the very
first. Chief Thomas Mcfarland and
Captains James Butler and II. ID.
uline, handled the men in syste-
matte manner and every move was
made with remarkable accuracy and
determination. Never before in the
history Of Marion did the spectators
see such valiant fight put up by
local fire department.
The far sghtedness OF chief Nc
rarland prevented any of the fire
whatever to get started on the lower
floor. The sky light over the west
end of Lewis store was broken in
by falling timbers. The burning en-
bers then dropped through to the in
terror OF the grocery. This was one of
the most dangerous points of the con-
tlagration as the grocery had a large
quantity of coal oil an dother explo-
sives stored near this trap. Despite
the fact that the smoke was smother
ing and the heat intense. Chief Nc
Farland ran line of hose through
the grocery from the east, stationed
a man there and instructed him to
extinguish the fire as it came through
the sky light. Nf
Another point witch ~ demanded
careful watching was the ammuni-

LAST RESORT FOR HIS CASE.
Yokel's Recipe for Man Who Would
Be Cured Of Love.

Apropos Of leap year. Robert Barr.

about love,
"A man" he said, being profoundly
In love, consulted a philosopher.
am in love, he complained, and
| don't like 1t, 1t keeps me from
working, from acquiring fame. Can
you cure me?'
In the study OF astronomy said
the philosopher. stroking his gray
beard. you will find cure for love.
Contemplate the planets, and in the
Infinite depths Of interstellar space
the puniness of yourself and the insig.
nilicance Of your love will stun you
SO the lover commenced star gaz.
Ing, and all went well for a night or
two Then. as he sat in his lonely
tower with his eye glued to tele.
scope. the girl came and put her whito
arms about his neck.
That night he gazed at the stars no
more. Astronomy, he saw, was no
cure.
But love irked him and he sought
out an alchemist.
Give me a philter.' he said, that
will cure me of love-
"The alchemist smiled.
There are many stories, he said,
about philters OF this sort but they
are all. young sir, quack nostrums.
The only love cure I can give you is
prussic acid
But the man shook his head He
did not want to die. He wanted. with
free, calm mind, to do his work.
And as he mused on his hard case
he saw yokel digging In ditch. and
as he dug the yokel regarded the man
curiously,
Plainly you are rich.' the yokel
said; why. then. do you frown and
sigh? ...
81 am in love. the man answered.
1t is torment How can be cured?'
The yokel roared with laughter.
Ho. ho!' he shouted. that is an
easy one. Don't you know the an.
swer?'
mo said the man. What Is it7
Tell me quickly
Marry the GIRL said the yokel,
and he resumed his digging"

CITY
BRANCH OF OREGON SHORT LINE
TO BE BUILT.
People Of Town Rejoice Over Prospec,
of Quick Delivery Of Farm
Products.

The people of Plain City are rejoic-
| Ing over the prospects of a railroad
to extend from the Utah Hot Springs
TO their city, They have long had to
raul over bad roads In or
der to get their sugar beet product
to the sugar factory and as a matter of
| course, they are happy to know that
before the year is over they will not
have to longer endure such hardship
and inconvenience.
During the past few DAYS officers of
the Oregon Short Line Railway COM
pany and officers of the Amalgamated
Sugar company have paid the Plain
City a visit and have thoroughly In
vestigated the matter of extending a
branch track to the little town The
railroad and sugar magnates we're
well taken care of by the Plain City
folks and when the conference was
over the people out there were prac-
tically given the assurance that the
conditions, the tonnage to be handled,
practically warranted the extension of
the branch line to their town.
The plan, II carried out, will place
that district In much better condi-
ton for the delivery OF sugar beets to
the factory and Will save a haul Of
about four miles by team. It means.
too. that the acreage In beet culture
will be greatly increased, some of the
farmers stating that II the road Is
built into Plain City this spring the
beet culture will embrace at least
1000 acres. The farmers proffer to
give the right Of way for the railroad
and also proffer to do the grading for
the road The beet crop in Plain City
averages about 13 tons to the acre,
which means that If the railroad Is
built there this years crop will ap-
proximate $4,000 tons of beets. The
lands In that locality are very pro-
life in the production of all kinds of
crops except tomatoesIt is said that as
much as 100 bushels of barley per acre
have been raised on the lands there,
and as high as 2S tons Of beets, other
crops in proportion.

Well Answered.

The captain of a schooner that

his shafts of humor, to the chagrin
and embarrassment Of its target. Soon

this chronic pun artist is no exception
to the rule.

man who was experiencing his first
