Trulock, for the use of the rooms, which was clean, warm, light and airy, an ideal place, and for his courtesy and kindness throughout the bazaar. Thanks to KnoX-Walker Furniture Co.,, for tables and chairs, and to the Pine Bluff Corporation for free lights. A letter was reported received from w. Irving Nathan, of New York, asking if the dozen towels sent by his mother, Mrs. Henry Natn- an, for the J. Jordan room, had been received.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
BAKER CITY, Ore, Jan. ~
A fire which for a time threat
ened the entire destruction of the
business district of the city broke
out here at midnight last night,
and before it was gotten under con-
troll, over four hours later, sew
eral of the towns most substan-
tial buildings were in ruins. The
entire loss is estimated at 30O,-
600, partially covered by insur-
ance.
The heaviest losers are Well &
Co., 100000; Baer Mercantile
company, 100000; Superior Ba-
kerry, $4,000; DIR. Mcdaniel, S.
900; Groce-Robinson Drug COM
pany, $1,000.
The fire started in the basement
of the Baer Mercantile company.

the state banking department OF
New York. VIM. II. Seward was
then high in New York politics
and Bakers father was legal ad-
wiser to him.
When Seward went to Washing
ton to be Lincoln's secretary of
state. the elder Baker accompan-
led him. Just about then old
John Thompson put forth the ma
~nal bank idea. and when the
national bank law was passed
Thompson established the First
National bank: it truly was the
first national bank in America,
and young Baker was proud to get
job there as a clerk. When the
war bonds were issued Bakers
Job was to sell them, probably his
fathers connection with the ad.
ministration had something to dc
with this honor and responsibility
being placed on young Bakers
shoulders.
With Henry Fahnestock. one OF
his friends in the bank, Baker wen
out into the Wall-st. district ant
disposed of the bonds.

thine the Jay Cooke company failed
and could not pay. This error ON
the part of the two young men
Threatened their ruin, but Baker
turned defeat into victory.
With Fahntstock he went to John
Thompson.
Give us six months option on
the bank and We'll buy it, II you'll
stay in as president until the pur-
chase" they suggested.
Thompson wished to retire, and
though astounded by the offer of
the young men, 1t served to renew
his confidence in them. Perhaps,
too, he knew that Bakers father
was high in the counsels of the
administration and might give aid
to his son.
For six months Fahnestock and
Baker scurried about, and at the
end of the time, having settled for
the Jay Cooke error themselves,
bought the controlling interest in
the bank.
And that is how Geo. Fisher
Baker got into Wall-st. How much
aid he go from the invisible wires
that always seem to reach from

Wall-st. says he is worth at

Henry Fahnestock. His pastimes

cold determination are Bakers
characteristics. fTs[ /
Baker is today bigger in Wall-st
finance than any Vanderbilt, Gould
