ODD FELLOW
BUILDING
Structure Not to Be Start
ed Until Some Time
This Fall.

1t was expected to start construc
ton work on the new Odd Fellows
temple on Mission street by the mid
die of this month, but the building
committee, consisting of w. r. Prov
ell, H. N. May and E. D. Utter, has
decided to defer the commencement,
of construction work until this fall
A great many of the pledges made
on the construction of the building
are contingent on collections made
from the fruit crops and the commit.
tee deem it best to wait until the
money market is a little easier be-
fore starting work.
The plan is for a three-story brick
building with pressed brick front
The building is to be 5Ox12O. The
first floor and basement will be used
for store purposes, second floor fol
office and lodging and the third
floor for the use of the lodge.

rains Thursday afternoon temporar-
lily, at least, checked the forest fires
which are devastating rich timber
in Idaho, Montana and Washington.

hand. Pine creek, Latura and Ora
ham creek fires in Idaho are under
control. Clearwater district blazes
have been checked and destruction
in northeastern Washington by tim

hundred government fire fighters are
working frantically to save the town
of Sandon from destruction.

ROSE MYSTERY IS
P[RP[EE|kG
Mrs. Rose Now Employed
in Restaurant-Received
Word From Husband.

The Daily World office has re.
ceived many telephone offers this
morning from readers who offer
work to Mrs. Harry Rose. But the
young wife has secured employment
in one of the restaurants and believes
that she will make her way all right
from now on. She is very bitter
against her husband, branding him
as a coward and decelver.
Today Mrs. Rose received the en-
velope mentioned in the mysterious
letter of yesterday to the Daily
World. 1t contained an insurance
rate book and the bill of the Great
Northern hotel. OF this statement
he wrote as follows: II have nc
funds to pay this bill, so it's to the
river for me-"
Mrs. Rose is more certain this
morning that her husband did not
jump off the bridge. The two young
men who passed through here last
evening on their hike from Spokane
to Seattle, say they saw a man an
swering Roses description about
o'clock in the afternoon. He was
walking eastward. But it is diff
cult to connect this observation with
the fellows probable movements.

OKAN0GAN BOARD
IS ACCUSED
State Accountants Report
Saws Commissioners Are
$4,637 Ahead.

Olympia, July 22.-More than $4,-
637 was illegally drawn by County
Commissioners F. w. Rosenfelt, R.
T. Prewitt, w. N. Tilton, J. M. Pit
man, s. C. Raker, w. L. Davis, r. M.
Wright and w. Britain, of Okano-
gan county, since 1905, according to
the report of the state bureau of in
spection and supervision of public
Offices filed with the attorney gen.
eral today.
Paid Themselves.
The board finds that it has been
the custom of the commissioners of
Okanogan county to allow them
selves compensation for services per-
formed by them in the various road
districts and adds that this is vio-
lation of the law, as was their action
lin allowing themselves compensation
for regular and special sessions with
out an order therefor from the SUI
perior court.
The report says that the commits
|sioners allowed themselves payment
for time during which they were not
in session. For instance, in one case
their meeting continued for five days
but they were paid for services for
six days. This excess, as shown by
&c low amounting RI
$1,000. They also allowed them
selves payment for wor kdone as ex
officio road supervisors.
Pitman Shortage.
The commissioners are urged to
collect the shortage of former Treas
urer J. M. Pitman, caused by his fall
ure in 1906 to turn over to his sue
cessor $1,211.50. Judgment in the
sum of $79650 was obtained against
him in 1907, but this has not been
collected. He was elected commits
sioner shortly after the expiration of
his term as treasurer in 1905, and
continued to serve until 1908.
The report says that the commits
sioners, in checking up Treasurer
Pitman's books, should have discov-
cred the shortage and held his
bondsmen responsible. The report
covers the period beginning January
i, 1903, and ending May 81, 1910.
The examination was started May "a,
1910, and completed July 8, and the
cost was $5S8.85.

]. 5. POSTAL SAY.
|NGS BANKS
Fall Will See System Start
ed Facilities Will
Be Restricted.

Washington, D. c.. July 22.-That
the postal savings bank will be in
operation by fall is the firm convic-
ton of the administration. 1t is not
expected that the entire system can
be put in operation this year, and it
may be almost a year before it is
possible to evtend the facilities to
the entire country, but it is the de-
termination of the administration to
expedite in every practical manner
the establishment of the machinery
and its installation throughout the
country.
The first steps, after the compile
ton Of what may be termed the par
ent organization, will be the extern
sion of the facilities to those COM
munitles in which the greatest need
exists; but that done, the work of
extending the machinery to all Sec
lions in which any demand develops
will be steadily prosecuted.
Many bankers have already made
APPLICATIONS for consideration as de-
positories for the funds. In a sin
gle instance protest has been re-
ceived from bank against the es-
Enlistment of postal banking facili-
ties in it's vicinity, on the ground
that few of the banks that section
are qualified to become repositories
and that extensive deposits in the
postal bank would remove from the
locality funds which are needed for
the carrying on of trade.

Merrill, Wis, July 22.-Seven
hundred persons of Bloomville and
Heinemann are hemmed In by forest
fires at the former town, with SEEM
ingly no means of escape.
The fires have destroyed the rail-
road tracks for some distance be-
tween Bloomville and Merrill, max

mann fled to Bloomville, only to be
confronted by a similar peril.
Gleason, north of Bloomville, is
isolated by the fires, and it has been
impossible to get word from there
for several hours. This leaves
Bloomville, with it's 500 persons,
hemmed in on every side.

FIVE STORY HOTEL
BURNED At HOQU|AM
Spectacular Scene in the Destruction of Building Which
Early This Morning Cos Two Lives With Two Un-
known Men Missing Delegates to Bankers Associa-
ton Fled From Their Hotels

HOquiam, Wash, July 22.-Two
lives were lost and two persons are
thought to be missing as a result Of
spectacular fire which destroyed
the Hoquiam hotel here early today.
The loss is $4,000.
Mrs. Mary Olson, aged H.. and
an unknown man are dead. The
missing are two workmen whose
names are unknown. Charles L. D
Greganza, of Aberdeen, was injured
in the back, and Look Wing, a Chi
nese cook, was seriously hurt.
The unknown man who was killed
was photographed as he stood in an
upper window shouting for help
and as he fell back into the flames
which furnished the light for the
CHASTITY photograph.
The hotel was a five-story frame
structure. So fierce were the flames
that for a few moments after the
fire started, the firemen were driven
back 1000 feet by heat and half OF
their hose burned. Half dozen
adjoining buildings caught fire and
for a time 1t looked as If the bust
ness section of Hoquiam was DOOM
ed. A fortunate change in the di-
rection of the wind saved the town
and confined the fire to the hotel
and two houses.
The city is crowded with members
of the Washington State Bankers
association and their wives. They
were called from their rooms at the
Grayport and New York hotels on
account of the imminency of danger
and many of them hurried out in
night attire.
The fire was spectacular IN the
extreme. One thrilling incident was
the attempt of William Huston Sec
rotary of the Hoquiam Eagles, to
rescue Mrs. Olsen. Huston nearly
lost his life in the attempt. He went
into the building and caught hold OF
the woman. He dragged her to the
head of the stairs, but there she re-
fused to go farther, saying she must
return to her room. She grasped the
stair railing with a frenzied grip
which Huston tried to break but she
was deaf to his entreatles. Finally,
weakened by the smoke which was
suffocating him, he lost hold OF the
woman and staggered down stairs
to the street. On reaching the
street Huston collapsed and had to
be carried away.
Two men who jumped from the
windows were nearly roasted to
death on the ground before they
could be rescued Three sons of s.
c. Herman, owner of the building,
and capitalist, with interests at
Olympia and North Yakima, had a
narrow escape from death.
The Aberdeen fire department
made a four-mile run to HoQuiam
in 10 minutes and rendered valuable
assistance. The Northern Pacific
depot was on fire several times. All
freight and passenger cars, however,
were run out of danger, but only af-
ter great effort.
The body of c. E. Junnett, line
man, was taken from the ruins OF
the hotel Hoquiam fire at noon to-
day. 1t is now believed that five
lives were lost Junnett's home is in
Tacoma.
