SUNDAY MORNING FIRE.
1t Didn't Amount To Much Except To
Empty the Churches.

At 11:15 Sunday morning the
gong was sounded for a slight blaze
in the George Councilman house at
513 Church street, next door to the
National hotel. A bundle of rags got
on fire in the house and somebody
sent in an alarm. The fire didn't
amount to much. One pail of water
put 1t out in short order. When the
fire companies got to the spot there
was nothing for them to do.
This fire happened to start just at
church time-indeed, it got under
way almost at the moment the domi-
nies on Church street were giving
out their texts for the morning SER
mons-and the pews were half
emptied in less than l > seconds from
the time of the first gong. All the
young men. several of the old men,
and about a score of women went
from church to the fire. One elderly
business man, nudged by his wife,
who reminded him he'd left an oil
stove burning in their room at the
hotel where the couple reside. bolt
ed into the street to see where the
blaze was. He found it was. or rath-
er had been, 800 yards from the ho-
tel, so he went back and reassurred
his better half.

MAN ON TOP OF LADDER Is KILL
ED BY LIVE WIRE.

While standing at the top of a
ladder, trimming dead branches from
a tree in front of his home, James
F. Dillon, aged 21, was electrocuted
when the pruning shears he was
using came in contact with a live
electric light wire.
The wire carried 2,400 volts of al
ternating current, which probably
accounts for the remarkable fact that
not the slightest sign of any burn
or scar was found on the body. AT
ter a consultation among the experts
of the electric light company, 1t was

100 MEN GET BACK
KRANTZ, SMITH & co. STARTED
UP MONDAY MORNING UNDER
AGREEMENT WITH WHICH
BOTH SIDES ARE UNDERSTOOD
TO BE SATISFIED.

At the works of Krantz, Smith &
Co., $50 men went back to work
Monday morning under an agreement
the company has made with the
American Flint Glass Workers
Union. Neither side would say much
about the terms now in force, but
conversation with representatives of
the company and of the union left the
impression that the former are glad
to be making glass again and that
the men who returned to work are
pleased at the prospect of more pay
days.
There are still 100 to 200 glass
workers out of the Honesdale fac
tories but some of these, it must be
remembered, have gone to work in
other places. Every man with job
and a pay envelope helps Honesdale
just that much, and citizens very
generally are suited by the resump-
tion of work at Krantz, Smith & Co.'S.

CHILDREN'S DAY IN CHURCH.

In spite of the inclemency of the

CLAIMS OPEN
RIVER IS A
DREAM
Agent Piper Thinks Money
Would Be Better Spent
on Power Plants.

Is the agitation in favor of an open
Columbia river an irridescent dream?
A. A Piper. agent of the Great Nor
thern Railway. SAYS the scheme is
chimera. To a reporter OF the World
he freely expressed his sentiments
but declared it would do no good or
harm, for his ideas on the subject
10 be published. People will only
say, oh, Piper is talking for the rail-
road company Whether this be
so or not, his observations are inter-
esting. If his arguments are not
adequately answered, they should be
sufficient to put quietus on open
river propaganda.
1T is conceded that railway is
preferable to water trans 7oTtation, .
declared Agent Piper, provided rates
are the same. Now consider VIVA,

ment is successful, after the eXpaldi-
ture of millions of money raised by
taxation, in blasting out rocks, build
ing locks and removing all obstruc-
tons so that steamers may ply back
and forth from the ocean to Kettle
Falls.
The flow of that turbulent stream
will always continue at eight miles
per hour. minimum. Is not the eX-
pense of operating against such a
current almost as great as to run a
railway train along the river banks?
If you think operation. of steamer
on the Columbia is an inexpensive
matter, get some details from Jay
Griggs, manager of the c. & o. COM
pany.
What is happening all over this
country in the way of stiff conlne-
tition for the railroads? Are rates
being lowered becaule of water COM

The one factor that is making rail-
