OLD SHACK DESTROYED
BY MARCH OF FLAMES
Restaurant Building in Front of 7. X.
l.. Feed Stable Burns-AdjOins
Burned Lodging House.

Fire broke out in the restaurant
building in front of the I. X. L. feed
stable, two doors south of the Tieton
hotel, on South First street, at mid
night, and a lively time was threat
ened, but the prompt arrival of the
fire department subdued the flames
before they spread to the hay and
straw in the sheds nearby. The res
taurant is owned by Cornelius Cal
liant and is almost total loss. The
building is owned by Ed. Parker
This building adjoins the Spokane
lodging house, which was wiped out
last week. In the event of more fires
on South First street it is pointed out
that the wooden shacks which have
long been an eye sore to the town
may be replaced with new and mod
ern business structures.

following his example. Mr.. Shea has
installed some 2700 feet of wood

trees has inserted a couple of faucets
through which the water from the
pipes is carried to the ground to fur

system is simple one, which does
away with open ditch, waste and vari-
Gus other of the nuisances of the old

Season, Il Appears.
UNION MAKES CONTRACT
FOR IT'S SEASONS SUPPLY
Nearly Half Million Pear, Peach
and Apple Boxes VIII Be
Manufactured by the Cascade
Lumber Company.

Peach, apple and pear boxes will
cost the fruit growers more This year
by about 10 per cent than they have
paid hitherto. The price has gone up.
Whether it will remain up is mat
ter for future developments to de-
terminc 1t has been the case in other
years that the season opened with a
higher price set On the boxes than
they brought when the demand be
came more active and the competition
somewhat kecner. However, the
general tendency is toward higher
figure and it may be that a later re-
duction this season still would fail to
carry the price as low as last year.
Union Makes Contract.
Contracts have been made by the
Horticultural Union with the Cascade
Lumber company for 100000 apple
boxes, $50, 900 peach boxes and $1,000
pear boxes. 1t is not expected that
this will cover the number needed by
the union or to be supplied by the
lumber company but the figures and
the contract offer n basis for action
and for manufacture to be carried
further as the season brings out new
needs.
The peach boxes will be in three
sizes, which will DE four, four and a
half and five inches. The first will
be S6.25 per hundred, the second
$6.75 and the third $T25. Apple
boxes will retail at . cents ana pear

Status of Interstate Commerce
Commission.
INSURGENTS SAID TO BE
ANGRY AT FALSE REPORTS
Disagreement Arises Over Cues
ton as to Whether Government
or Commission Should Defend
Appeals.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May IL
After giving a greater part of the day
to the question of whether the gov
eminent or the Interstate commerce
commission shall appear as the de-
PENDANT in cases growing out of orders
of the commission under terms of the
railroad bill, the senate today post
poned action on the subject until to-
morrow. PostpOnemcnt was made on
an objection by Cummins to the pre-
sentation of the subject in a new
form on the eve of voting
Discussion had been upon an
amendment offered by Cummins pro-
posing as a substitute that the com
mission itself as defendant instead %!
the United States be defendant in all
cases growing out of proceedings be
fore the commission. Smith Of Michi-
gan introduced as substitute for
the Cummins amendment the house
provision which provides that the
commission shall be permitted to in
tervcne in cases arising from pro-
ceedings before that body.
Protest Over Amendments.
For the purpose Of avoiding a par
lldIHtutd+ Y ldHSlc, tHHlullHS tom pp-
rarily withdrew his amendment so as
to permit first vote to be taken on
Smiths proposition. Cummins how
ever, made a vigorous protest against
Smiths amendment and the method
of its introduction. Before adjourn
ing the senate struck out the provis-
ion giving judges o. the proposed
commerce courts $4,000 year addi-
tional for expenses in Washington.
The attitude of democrats is eX-
pected largely to. control the future
course of the senate in relation to the
many amendments offered by the in
surgents; also in dispOsng Of sections
10, IA and Is, which relate to the
capitalization Of railroads. Several
conferences were held today by regu-
lars. 1t was reported that the insur-
gents are angry because of reflections
made upon them. The reports Gre
ated a great deal of i'll feeling and as
result it was announced 1t would be
useless to attempt any sort of com
promise After the senate adjourned
the insurgents held meeting and
decided to oppose the Smith amend
ment and If it was defeated to press
the Cummins provision.
