main STREET FIRE
Flames Deyour Athena Cafe With Con-
tents and Leave tho Cox Build
ing Charred Shell.

The claug Of the fire bells brought
out the FIRE department aud Athena's
populace shortly after ! o'clock Tues
day morning. The department was
quick to respond. but by the time the
hose was connected and three streams
of water were flowing. the Worthing-
ton building on Main street, where
the FIRE originated, was a seething
mass Of flames and the west side of
the Cox house was scorohing hot.
GKhs fire started in the kitchen Of
The Athsna Cafe. owned by Chas.
Grant. and SO rapid was the progress
of the flames that not one article was
saved, and in less than an hour after
the fire was discovered, the Worthing-
ton building in which the cafe was
located, was but smouldering heap
of ashes.
The fitemen began work with stiff
pressure of water in the mains, which
was kept stationary by direct pres
sure from the pumping station. The
regular firemen were materially as
sisted by old time members of the de-
paltment, and the fact that no wind
was blowing made it possible to con-
| fine the fire to the two buildings. AS
at was. sparks and firebrands in dan
gerous quantities were hurled pro-
miscuously throughout the neighbor-
hood contiguous to the fire. For q
time the Mcbride livery stable and the
Athena hotel property were in grave
danger and the grass near the Knights
Of Pythias- Odd Fellows building, over
a block away, ignited from sparks.
The fire IN the Cox building was
| confined to the rear roo 8, though
the upper rooms and the roof are SO
badly damaged that it is question
whether the building will ever be re-
paired. In this building. B. 3. Rich-
ards city recorder and Justice of the
peace, W. J. Gholson, marshal, and
J. @. Burke, expressman. had their
Offices. Those who were first on the
scene forced entrance to the building
aud carried the city records and the
| justice court papers, including the
docket, into the street at a safe dis
tance from the Ere. Fortunately, the
flames did not reach to the front o.
room, which contained most OF thu
effects, and but little loss there will b
/ suffered. sss. ssesss
The fire was discovered by nigh
watchman Haworth and Will Jamie
son, who were going to the night
train. Haworth had passed the build
ing ON his way TO awaken Mr.. jamie
son, and when on the way to the de-
! pot, looked back and saw the fire.
! Henry Picard, who was one of the
first to discover the fire, ran to where
! Mr.. Grant resides in the south part OF
town and awakened him. The cook
and dishwasher at the cafe were just
retiring for the night in tent be-
tween the WoIthington building and
Miller's furniture store when the
glare of the flames startled them. So
| fast did the wooden structure burn
that they had no time to enter from
the front and attempt to save any.
thing whatever.
Mr.. Worhingto1 g loss is total, as be
carried no insurance. Mr.. Grant had
$1,000 insurance on the contents of the
cafe. The Cox building. which was
formerly dwelling, was insured
for $400. The heavy iron shutters
protected the Masonic lodge hall ant

He picked the officers up there and Bar ney Oldfield seldom makes faster run than the auto trip back to the Speers home. After their arrival the officers and MT.

Is Unjust to Growers of Pacific Coast

SPOKANE, Wash. Feb. 24.-"Offi-
GERS and members of the National
Apple Shippers association are back
of the fight for the introduction OF
a substitute package for the north
west standard apple box, adopted by
growers in Montana, Idaho, Oregon,
Washington, California and the prov
ince of British Columbia, and the
primary reason for seeking the
change Is that they want five pecks
of fruit for the same money they
now pay for a bushel"
l.. G. Monroe, secretary of the
Washington State Horticultural as
ISOLATION, gave out he foregoing an
nouncement that W. X. Newell, pres
ident of the Oregon state board of
horticulture, and he will leave Spo-
kane for Washington, d. c., on
March 3 to oppose the Lafean bill
sional committee on March 8
After declaring that growers in
the northwest are determined to fight
the Lafean and other substitute
measures to a finish. Mr.. Monroe
said in discussing the merits of the
present package:
"Orchardists and packers all over
the northwest have experimental for
years with all kinds of boxes. and
they have decided that our standard
package, 10 1-2xft 1-2x1S inches,
containing 2.15O "a cubic inches,
or 2.173 cubic inches with the swell.
more than a Winchester bushel, is
best adapted for their purposes. The
California Special, 10x11x20 inches.
is also used to advantage for four
tier fruit. The Lafean bill provides
for package Of 12x12x20 inches,
while another measure says the new
box shall contain not less than 2.342
cubic inches, which means box OF
nearly five pecks.
Colorado orchardists use larg-
er box than ours, but as they do not
grade or tier-paek their apples. 1t
makes little or no difference to them,
However, they and the growers IN
Utah favor our box. as it means uni.
formity in fruit and scientific pack
ing; and, what is more important,
the consumers know just what kind,
size and number of apples he re-
ceives for his money. No other
state, where apple growing Is fol-
lowed as an industry. uses boxes,
and, as growers say no square box
will pack right. the adoption OF the
northwest standard box seems to be
/ the logical solution OF the problem. /"

People who have warm friends are
healthier and happier than those who
have none. A single real friend is a
treasure worth more than gold or
precious stones. Money can buy
many things, good and evil. All the
wealth of the world could not buy a
friend, or pay you for the loss of
one, and We are the weakest and
worst of spendthrifts If we let a
friend drop on through inattention
or let one push away another. or If
we hold aloof from one for petty
jealousy or needless slight. One
good friend is not to be weighed
against all the jewels of earth.
