AGITATION STARTED FOR
NEW KIND OF PAVING
THAT WILL SAVE HORSES.

Creosoted wood blocks for
street paving in Tacoma.
An agitation that promises to
resolve itself into a demand for
this kind of street paving is now
on. Horse owners, led by Major
Griggs, president of the chamber
of commerce, are protesting
against the prevailing types of
pavement here. Neither sand
stone, asphalt nor granatoid are
proper for the streets, according
to the horsemen. Animals slim ON
them and are injured. Two val
liable animals had to be killed
by the st. Paul mill recently be-
cause of injury ON a slippery pave
ment.
The chamber of commerce took
the matter up yesterday. l., R.
Manning, L. w. Pratt and John
A. Rea were named a committee
TO investigate the paving propo-

MAY USE WOOD BLOCKS
To PAVE STREETS

Isition. The city has been expe-
riehcing much difficulty in find
ing durable road that will not
be slippery. AspaIt is simply out
of the question on the hills.
Brick is also too slippery, and
sandstone is not much better. The
last is also not durable.
About the only thing left is
wood. The old style blocks, how
ever, do not wear well and are
inclined to warp. But creosoted
blocks are said to make a splen-
did pavement. Government tests
are said to show this type of
pavement to rank with the best
for durability and cleanliness, and
1t has the additional advantage
OF being noiseless.
Humane Officer Van Voris saws
he Is convinced 1t is the thing.
1t saves the horses. and the saw
ing in horses in year in Tacoma
with this kind of pavement, It is
charged by horsemen, would more
than pay the difference in cost for
securing this kind of street.

TILLAMOOK, Ore, Dec. T.
Mrs. l.. A. Holdredge, one of the
four victims of the steamer Argo
which was wrecked last Friday,
was not buried alive.
This fact was made certain to-
day when a score of representa-
tive citizens of Tillamook, led by
Sheriff Pinshaw and several ply
sicians, visited the cemetery at 2
o'clock this morning, and by the
light of candles and lanterns ex-
humed the body.
Body Appeared Alive.

hero, and friends of the dead
woman were allowed to view the
body before 1t was removed to
the cemetery. There were many
comments on the natural ap-
pearance of the woman. 1t was
said that the face was flushed
and that the ears and throat were
nlgnly cOlOreQ.
Last night the people of Tilla-
nook congregated in the streets
and many expressed the belief
that the woman had been buried
alive. Excitement ran so high
that the coroner was called up,
and 1t was explained to him that
many residents of the town be-
lieved that Mrs. Holdredge had
been buried alive. He readily
gave consent to exhuming the
body.
At 2 o'clock this morning the
party arrived at the cemetery and
opened the grave.
Again the natural appearance
of the woman was commented
upon.
Doctors Apply Tests.
The physicians present lost
no time in resorting to several
tests. The first was the carbolic
acid test. An hypodermic injec-
ton of morphine was made in
the. woman's arm. 1t did not dis
color the flesh. The first test had
showed that life was extinct. Then
an incision was made in the
woman's breast. If circulation
had stopped the woman was in
deed dead. Not a speck of blood
Issued from the incision, and at
3 o'clock this morning the body
was again lowered into the grave.

MALVERN FARM BARNS BURNED
Loss Estimated at $4,000 With But $4,000
Insurance

|
An alarm was sounded last SATURDAY.
morning at about o'clock, when a tele
phone message was received at the Ran.
dali announcing that the barns on the
Malvern Stock Farm were on fire. The
fire company respon ded at once and in a
short time were at the farm with the
hook aud ladder apparatus, but the fire
had by this time gained such headway
that it was impossible to check the
flames. The fire was first discovered
| about GAO, smoke being seen pouring out
OF the cupola of the large barn. I he
men folks had detected an odor of smoke
while milking, but an investigation
showed no signs of fire. The flames
which had burned up through the hay
spread rapidly and the building was
! quickly enveloped in flames which soon
spread to adjoining buildings and in a
short time the group of barns were all in
flames, when all hopes of saving the
barns were abandoned. Owing to the
scarcity of water, the only means OF
fighting the fire was by bucket brigade
made up of firemen and neighbors, whose
efforts were directed principally to saw
ing the fine residence. This was done
after a hard fight, with but small
amount of damage to the contents.
The barns, which were filled with hay
burned quickly and in a short time the
several buildings, which composed one
of the finest set of farm barns in this
section were in ashes, with the exception
of an open shed.
The loss is estimated at between $4,000
and $1,000, with insurance of S1,110 OF
the barns and $3.50 on the contents, in
cluding produce.
The house and barns were built man,
years ago by A. w. Griswold of New
York, shortly after the close of the Civi
War, aud are said to have cost $4,000

Death Of Frederick Whitcomb

| Frederick Whitcomb, who received in
! juries in runaway accident, caused by
| his horse being frightened by au automo-
| bile last week Tuesday at Morrisville,
| which we noted last week, died from the
| effects of the same last Saturday. For a
| day or so it was thought that there were
| chances for recovery, but his extreme
age was against him and he could not
rally from the shock He died at two
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The funeral was held from his late
home, near McKinstry Hill, in HydePark,
on Monday last, Rev. II. D. Slby of North
Hyde Park, officiating. The attendance
was large. The burial was beside rela-
tives in the Barnes cemetery. Erwin
Lilley was in charge.
Mr.. Whitcomb was S4 years old July
10Th. He was born in Washington, this
state, but his father came to johnson
when the boy was four years old, loca-
ting on the Island in johnson, where
Charles Whitcomb now lives. In 1S4S
Frederick bought the farm in this town,
to which place he took his bride, Lenora
Warren of johnson, a year later, Aug. 27,
children were born to them, all still liv-
ing. They are: Mrs. Mary Lanpher, Mrs,
Lucinda Magoon. Mrs. Olive Mills, Mrs.
Nora Heath, Mrs. Alma Jewett, Mrs.
Lillian Jones, and Silas, Fred, Lewis and
Warren Whitcomb. All live IN Hyde
Park except Mrs. MageOn, who lives in
Corinth, and Lewis, who lives in WAL
than, Mass. There are % nd-children
and four great-grand. children. Mr.. Whit
combs death is the first in the family
and he died on the Goth anniversary of
his wedding, which was to have been
celebrated by family party that day.
Mr.. Whitcomb was one of our most
highly esteemed townsmen. He hadn't
an enemy in the world. and his word was
as good as his bond. He was a successful
farmer and devoted his long life to agri-
cultural pursuits. He took a deep inter-
est in town affairs and until late years
invariably attended town meeting. He
took an active interest in politics and has
never missed voting at State and National
elections since attaining his majority. A
man of kindly disposition, he was beloved
by all who knew him as well as in the
home, and his death is sincerely regretted.
