Big Fire Loss Occurs at Graham
Furniture Store Early Sunday
Morning-Fire Has Mysterious
Origln-Both Furniture and Build
ing Are Fully Insured.

A loss of between $1,000 and s1o,.
600 was suffered at an early hour
Sunday morning by the Graham fur
niture store. The damage was the re-
suit Of a fire of mysterious origin.
which started in the basement. For
tunately both the contents of the
store and the building were insured
so that the loss will fall upon the in
surance companies instead of upon
W. r. Graham, the proprietor of the
store, or Joseph Basler, the proprie-
tor of the building.
Whether the fire was caused by de-
fective wiring, spontaneous combus-
ton or was the work Of an incendiary
will probably never be known. There
are those who hold to each of these
theories. Mr.. Graham himself, is un-
able to account for it, but he is posi-
tive that It could not have resulted
from spontaneous combustion. As he
has been suffering from rheumatism
for several days he left early Satur-
day morning for Lehman springs and
did not hear Of the fire until it was
all over. He drove down yesterday.
arriving here at o'clock this morn
ing.
1t was a little after one o'clock,
Sunday morning that the fire was
first discovered, thogh il is evident it
had been in progress for several
hours. Gritman was just closing his
cigar and confectionery store for the
night and was engaged in conversa-
ton with Night Officer Kearney when
they discovered smoke issuing from
the gratings in the sidewalks. The
alarm of fire was Immediately
sounded and the attack on the flames
was commenced.
Some difficulty was experienced in
reaching the fire by reason of the
fact that the basement had become
so filled with smoke that no human
could enter for an instant and life.
By cutting holes in the floor and
shooting water down through these
as we'll as through the gratings in
front and rear, the basement was fl
nally flooded and the flames extin-

Small Fire Yesterday.

A piano box used as a woodshec
by Gus Schmidt, a well-known char
acter about town, was destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon. 1t is be-
lieved that the fire was the result of
the ever dangerous combination Of
children and matches. The box con-
tanned some coal and wood and made
hot little fire for few minutes but
was soon extinguished by the west end
company, which responded to the
alarm.

Black Pine Valuable.

Bend Bulletin: The worthless
black jack pine may prove to be not
so worthless after all. 1t is very
probable that this species of pine, of
which there is such a great abund-
ance south of Bend, will in time be
of considerable value-as an expert
enced timber man put it, "160 acres
of the black jack will be as valuable
as 100 acres of yellow pine" The use
to which it will be put will be the
manufacture of wood pulp, from
which paper Is made.

Finally. I emphasized again aud
again the fact that the engineers OF

and that they had no powers or func-
tions outside OF this authority. this
being delegated in writing from the

To the chief engineer and through
him to his assistants.
This was the foundation upon
which all further statements rested.
IL you will search your memory and

you will find that this part OF my talk
was listened to without question.
Every one accepted the fact that an

government or for corporation. had
no authority beyond that usually en-.

this capacity.
Statements of Cost.
The point which usually aroused
more or less discussion and questions
was that as to the probable cost. In
my statements and replies TO Ques-

guarded reply. I referred to what

OF each and all OF us engineers, and
called attention to the fact that the
matter OF cost could only be deter
