$150,OOO FIRE
TUESDAY IN BETHEL
Fire Believed to BE Of Incendiary
Origfn-Insuranc OF 100000
Carried, Some in Montpelier Com
panies-All the Buildings Destroy

Bethel, April 20.-The large tan
merry located in the heart OF this
village and owned by the e. c.
Fisher Co., the largest industry in
the village outside the granite bus
iness. was burned to the ground this
morning at loss of between $780,
600 and S2OO,OOO The only build
ings remaining standing are the
Office which the firemen had hard
work in saving, and a hide house.
Insurance to the extent of 100000
was carried. The company was
undecided this morning whether
they would rebuild or not. About
125 workmen were employed in the
tannery and the village is rather
blue at the prospect that the COM
pany may not rebuild.
The fire started about six o'clock
this morning and the night watch
man, who had made his rounds just
about half hour before, did not
discover anything wrong. This
gives rise to the belief that the fire
was of incendiary origin together
with the fact that two men are al
legged 10 have been standing on the
tracks near by when the fire was
first discovered.
This is the second big fire the
tannery has had within the last
ten years.

WONDERFUL CHAIR
OF OREGON MAPLE

Breeze Gibson has struck a new
high water mark by turning out q
wonderful chair, that is on exhibition
In the show windows of the Buren &
Hamilton furniture store. II is OF
solid curly or burl maple, such as
grows only on the Eola hills, and
which II the furniture makers could
get hold OF in the East would be
worth almost It's weight in gold.
Some OF the burls entering into the
construction OF this chair are three
feet across, and were cut from trees
several hundred years old. Mr.. Glib
son is n genius for the odd and
freaky in the works OF nature, and
has been three years gathering the
material for this chair. Every piece
is made OF the natural growth and
curves, and the rough pointed exte-
rior burls are natures own handi-
work and carving. The large back
plate OF the chair has a carved mar
gin all around OF the natural burl, n
wonderful design that surpasses any
artificial conception. II needs to be
seen 10 be understood, as no descrip-
tion can do Il justice. Some OF the
polished surfaces seem TO have hosts
OF little angel chembs flickering over
the surface. and the light reflects a
pure golden yellow from the highly
polished woods. The back OF the
chair Is mounted on a pair OF giant
elk horns OF seven and nine points
each, the monster elk having been
captured near Mt. JEFFERSON especial
ly for this chair. The beautiful piece
OF furniture Is worth at least $3.50,
and should grace the Blks lodge, and
should really be occupied by the next
governor OF oregon. who will un-
doubtedly be a member OF that or
der. The chair might properly be
presented to President Taft. as II Is
solid and strong enough 70 hold him.
Mr.. Gibson has made many beautiful
works OF art in the maple burls. but
this surpasses them all.

WHAT Mr.. CURTIS DID NOT SEE.

Wm {. Curtis of the Chicago RecordHeyad did not see
some things worth printing about this community,
He saw the Indian school, the prune orchards and the
country roads in and out of Salem,
But he probably did not even have his attention called to
the fact that here is city without graft.
The city council the other night passed on 100000 Of
bills and contracts in less than two hours
So far as ordinary business man can tell there is not
dollar Of graft in the whole proceedings
This community has public school government devoid OF
graft and pull and ayoritsm and run upon merit
We have county government that is devoid OF graft and
not dollar can be got hold OF but for value received.
The city, school district and county government are run
on cash basis and all warrants are at par
In nearly every instance the office seeks the man. and
there no political machine that has to be fed and places
made TO keep its votareS out of the pOorhouSe.
Mr. Curtis could have seen a local community Set-goV-
erned on the line of higher ideals than are put into practical
operation in any other community in the United States
