FIRE AT SATSOP.
Odd Fellows Building at Satsop Con
sumed by Fire-Loss $4,000.

SATSOP, March 26.-The worst
fire in the history of Satsop broke
out in the general merchandise store
of Kicker Bros, in the Odd Fellows
building at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing, totally destroying the large two
story building in which it originated
and the saloon building and its
stock, owned by Thomas Connor, of
Montesano. The loss is placed at
$4,000; insurance, $1,000.
For a time the entire western por-
tion of the town was threatened
with destruction. Disaster was avert
ed, however, by the efforts of the
citizens who respond to the alarm
and the availability of large water
tank owned by the Hewitt Logging
company, which was standing on the
company's tracks near the scene.
The losses were: Odd Fellows,
$2,25O. insurance, $1,000; Kicker
Bros, $3,500, no insurance; Thomas
Connor, saloon building and stock,
$4,000; damage to adjoining build
ing, $3.50.

BOOM COMPANY SELLS.
Highland Home Boom Company Buys
Out Wishkah Boom Co. and
Ends Legal Fight.

An important deal was conducted
Friday when the Wishkah Boom
Company transferred all it's holdings
on the Wishkah river to the High
land Home Boom company. The
price paid is said to be approximately
$4,000. The deal ends a long and
noted fight, one that has been prom
inently before the courts and has
found its way several times to the
United States war department.
The Highland Home company has
for it's stockholders for the most
part loggers who are now operating
on the Wishkah. They are E. b.
Shields, w. E. Boeing, b. F. john
son, A. f. Coats, Mayor Eugene
France and Warren J. Egerer. Mr..
Egerer is secretary and manager of
the company.
The Wishkah Boom Company was
one of the oldest corporations in
Southwestern Washington, having
DCCA VI 6dAlZCu Ill cOOp anu has
operated continuously on the river
since that time. The Highland
Home Boom company was organized
only last fall, but it has already
built up a lucrative business.
"The purchase of the Wishkah
Boom company" said a prominent
logger, will be of vast benefit to the
loggers and the ranchers on the riv.
er. The new concern is in the hands
of some of the largest logging op-
orators on the river and they will
naturally be interested in its oper-
ations and will exert themselves
to drive the river, thus often
not only relieving the strain on the
logging operations but also remov-
ing the trouble with which the
ranchers along the stream have had
to contend in the past, and which
has been the cause of numerous law
suits"

EDDIE SEVER A WINNER.
New Acquisition Of Black Cats
Famous Left Hand Pitcher.

Aberdeen is out for the pennant,
That was the principal topic of dis
cussion lats evening within the local
baesball circle, says the Seattle P.-I.
of last Thursday There can be no
longer doubt about the strenuous eff
forts of the men behind the team
that represents the champion saw

honor snatched from them last sea-
son by the Vancouver aggregation.
Quietly but with persistence the
Southwestern Washington city has
been gathering in star players un-
til the lineup commences to make
the other teams sit up and take no.
tice.
A short time ago the report was
given out from Aberdeen that Eddie
Siever, the famous pitcher of the
Detroit champions in 1907, had been
secured from Indianapolis and would
soon come west to join the team.
This report was discounted later by
the appearance in the st. Louis
Sporting News of a story to the effect
that Siever would not be with 1ndi-
annapolis, but that when the sea-
son opened he would be found with
the Montereal club. This report
complicated matters and it was not
until last evening that all doubts in
the matter were settled.
Siever is a left-hander, about 20
years old. and when he is going right
there are very few pitchers in the
country who have anything on him.
He is native of Nebraska, and
played first professional engagements
with the London club in 1899, in the
International League. In 1900
Siever was signed by Detroit, then
a member of the Western League. He
pitched there four years. His arm
finally went back on him and he
quit the game only to be picked up
by st. Louis later in 1904 The next
season he went to Minneapolis where
he recovered his arm, and with it
all his old effectiveness returned.
The close of the season saw him one
of the leading pitchers in the Ameri-
can Association. Detroit Immediate
ly purchased his release and in 1907
he was potent factor in landing
the American League penannt.

HARD FIGHT ON LUMBER.
Western Members Of Congress Must
Make Clever Deals to Keep
Lumber From Free List.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
lumber interests will have to conduct
their fight for higher lumber tar
if along clever lines II they are to
prevent stampede in the direction
of free lumber. The appeal from a
number Of Southern lumber manu-
facturers for higher tariff seems
to have little effect on the Democrat
ic side of the house.
Champ Clark, minority leader of
the house, in his speech today said
that he stood for free lumber for
two reasons: For preservation of
the forests and to permit the work.
ing men Of the country to own their
own homes. This statement was ac-
corded practically unanimous ap-
paluse on the Democratic side and
no little approval by some of the
Republicans.
The lumber interests are handi-
capped by the smallness of their re-
presentation in the house. This so
not only because of the small vote
they can make themselves, but
cause they can make themselves, but
because Of the support they have to
trade. 1t will prove hard task to
effect an arrangement whereby the
Western lumber delegations can
trade their support for that of an
Eastern delegation. Washington. for
instance, which wants a high lum-
ber tariff, has only three votes in
the house, while Massachusetts,
which is hot on the trail Of free
trade, has fourteen. Others. which
it no doubt would be glad to trade
with an equally strong delegation,
wish another change. In fact, Wash
ington, Oregon, California and ida
no, have combined vote in congress
that merely equals that of Massa-
chusetts alone and which does not
equal that Of a number of other
single states. When it is considered
that many Of these large Eastern
delegations favor free lumber, it can
be seen that it will take some clever
swapping" on the part of the lum-
ber men to get together even the
support that will insure no reduc-
tion below the Payne schedule.
