Several fires in the city yesterday
were caused by Fourth of July fire.
works and explosives. In the morning
| the fire department. was called to the
residence of n. G. Morgan, corner Of
Seventh street and Eighth avenue
! north, to extinguish a blaze which was
caused by sky rocket crashing
through the parlor window from its
starting through just outside the railing
of the front porch. Luckily the rocket
did no damage inside the house, as it's
strength was largely expended in
piercing the heavy glass of the win
dow.
An alarm was sent in to the depart
ment at the same time from the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Ellen e. Hannaher 41O
Tenth street north, which the DEPART
ment did not receive in time to be
Of any material assistance. Explosives
used by children caused the fire, which
was not serious one. The Northern
Pacific oil house near Broadway on
the N. P. tracks caught fire yesterday
morning, but was put out without the
aid of the fire department.
Two Cottages Burned.
Two cottages at Detroit lake were
totally wrecked yesterday afternoon
by fire started from cannon crackers
used by children playing in the front
yards of both places. One cottage,
built entirely of logs, was burned to
the ground and only the brick chimney
was left standing, while the other
was left in a condition which renders
1t uninhabitable. Many Of the cot
tagers at the lake formed themselves
into volunteer fire brigade, but all |
their efforts were futile.
The two cottages belonged 10 Miss |
Thea Irvine of New York and were |
occupied by z. F. Hamilton of Hunter, |
N. D., and J. S. Whitcomb of Mime |
apolis, respectively. Mr.. Hamilton c.
cupied the log cottage.
A late report from Detroit today
states that both cottages were a total
loss, but that the contents of both were
saved.

A SAD STORY.
The Misfortune That Came With a
Terrible Tumble.

The Misfortune That Came With a
Terrible Tumble.
Fowling is now very little practiced
in the Shetland islands, although many
eggs are secured annually. Many
thrilling stories of fowling adventure
are told by the Shetlanders. A man
who had undertaken to climb certain
steep cliff was neither very expert
enced nor very brave, although he
boasted of being both He pushed up
ward, however, briskly without look
ing behind until he had got up about
$50 feet, when he stopped to breathe.
The pause was fatal to his self posses
sion, and he called out in tones Of ter
ror, "Men, men, am going-I am 60
ing" But he still held on for little,
and it was not till he had shrieked
many times IT am going" that he did
fall headlong.
His comrades, having thus been
warned, moved the boat out Of the way
so that the poor fellow came sheer
down into the deep water. Mighty
was the plunge, but at length he rose
to the surface, when of course he was
instantly caught hold Of and dragged
into the boat After many gasps and
much spluttering of sea water from his
mouth his only remark was: "Eh,
men, this is a sad story. l have lost
my NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Tales
Of Shetland"

Baker City recently filed with th'

Baker City recently filed with the
Oregon Railroad Commission a com
plant attacking certain class and
commodity rates of the o. R. & N.
Co. Medford followed with sim
liar complaint attacking rates of the
same character on the Southern Paoi-
flo Co. These complaints were filed
quietly, without much ado and has
attracted but little attention. They
ere loaded, however. and when the
merchants of Portland wake up and
discover this fact there will te a howl
20 up from the metropolis. Medford
and Baker City feel that owing to
their location they are entitled to such
special or favorable rates as will en-
able their merchants to build up a
jobbing business In other words they
hope to become "Spokanes in their
respective "Inland Empires. To do
this however, there must be low car
load rates out of Portland and low less
than carload or distributive rates out
of Medford and Baker City. This
would enable each of them to control
a large territory and build up good
jobbing business. 1t IS going to be a
hard nut for the Commission to crack
for there will Ee certain home influ'
ences which it will be hard for COM
missioners to withstand. The Com
mission is made up Of men IN whom
the people have the utmost confidence
and who will do their duty as they see
it. The trouble is, however, that each
Commissioner is apt to see the fright"
through homemade glasses. This is
patural. for home influence is strong
feature, and conditions being equal. a
man is going to give his home town all
there is coming to it. Commissioner
Aitohison is from Portland and pret-
ty stiff showing would have to be
made to get him to vote to take the
jobbing business away from Portland
and give it to Medford and Baker
City. Commissioner Campbell is from
southern Oregon and his sympathies
are naturally with the interior a d,
everything being equal it is to be ex-
pected that he will demand for the
interior all that is coming to it Ii
the above line. up should come to pass
the delicate task of casting the decid
ing vote would fall upon Commission
er West. Fortunately his place of
residence will enable him to be free
lance, and if it devolves upon him to
decide the matter those who know the
man will expect him to stand lack
and, by taking an impartial view of
all the question and all interests, see
that each locality gets square deal.

Taken at His Word.

The doctor was telling how he came
to lose one Of his best paying
patients. The man was a hypochon-
driac, who was always imagining that
something terrible was about to hap
pen to him, and the doctor, who was
a great jollier, was kept busy trying
to reason him out of his morbid con-
dition.
"You have worried yourself until
you are bordering on nervous col,
lapse" said the doctor to him one day.
"You shouldn't think about your symp-
toms all the time, but just attend to
your affairs as if there was nothing
the matter with you"
"All right, DOCTOR" replied the pa
tient. "Tll do as you say. You needn't
come to see me any more."-New York

FORCE or GRAVITY.
How 1t Would Affect Mans Weight on
the Celestial Bodies.

TOW " Wouid HHect ManS weight oH
the Celestial Bodies.
If the planet Mars be really lnhab
tied the people who live there must be
an exceedingly agile race. The av.
erage weight Of a man is about 14O
pounds, but the force of gravity on
Mars Is SO much less than on the
earth that the 140 pound man would
wei;sh only ffty-three pounds II he
were transported thither. With such
light weight, and still retaining the
same strength, an individual would
be able to run with the speed of an
express train, go skipping over ten
foot walls and do various other ex.
traordinary things. On the moon a
man would be even lighter.
But on the sun our 40 FOUNDER
would have his troubles. Instead of
being an airy individual he would
weigh In the neighborhood of ton
and three-quarters. He would prob
ably have the greatest difficulty in
raising his hand, for that member
would weigh about 300 pounds.
According to scientific computation,
a man who on earth weighs 140
pounds would on the other celestial
bodies weigh as follows:
The moon, % pounds; Mars, SO
pounds; Venus, ia pounds; Mercury,
119 pounds; Neptune, 1913 pounds;
Uranus, 127 pounds; Saturn, l65
pounds; Jupiter, 371 pounds, and the
sun, 3,871 pounds.-Chicago Tribune.

In the past ten years Detroit, Mich
igan, has made gain in population
of SO per cent. One reason of this
great growth is said to Ee the i'm
mense automobile industry centered
in Detroit. Of this the st. L ouis
Post Dispatch says: There was no
reason why Detroit should have Ee-
come the automobile center. 1t sim
ply grabbed the business. If $4,000
Detroit workmen are now employed
by automobile factories, and $4,000
more by manufacturers of motor acoes
sories, it is due merely to the deter
mination of the city that it was going
to manufacture something. This bus
mess, with its astonishing rapidity
of growth, was the aspiration of all
the others. Every one decided to
branch out. The stove factor les built
additions and rushed for business.
Little machine shops grew into engine
works. The Car plant decided to do
more BUSINESS there. Through the
oontral commercial organization gen
eral encouragement was given. The
idea was to boom everything, Every
thing was doomed.

Oregon should have the best fairs
in its history this autumn, says the
Oregon Journal. There is no good
reason why expositions Of great merit
should not be maintained in the west
as we'll as in the central and eastern
states. Oregon has done we'll in the
past, but she should do better in the
future. The county fair has proved
itself a wonderful inspiration wher-
ever it has been encouraged and man
aged with ability. The annual gather
ing of farmers and their families, the
commingling of men Of all professions
and occupations, the competitions,
the interchange Of Ideas, all have a
broadening and helpful effect upon
the people of any country OF section.
The spirit of the fair is one of mutual
helpfulness; of efforts to do better
work, to make better showing for
the country and the individual farm.

BIG PARTY GIVEN
FOR MISS STEVENS

A big party will be held at the home
of Miss Harriet Stevens at 2323 Adams
street in Gary tomorrow evening by a
number of her friends, who Will take
this opportunity to formally congratu-
late her on her bravery and GOODNESS in
connection with the fire which burned
down the Ohio building several days
ago.
Miss Stevens and Miss Charlottt Ches-
mes remained at the switchboard of
the local telephone exchange after the
room had become filled with smoke and
in which it thought there was
danger of the wall between the two
buildings falling in at any time. The

the fremen and others who found it
necessary to use the telephones.

Der of her friends. The day is also
the occasion of htr eighteenth birthday

shot~him, it seems. merely because he
felt hurt over the disparaging re-
marks made about him and deigned to
reply This so angered the DULLES to
think that he would dare to defend
himself, that without further contro-
versy one of the men pulled out his
revolver and shot the man in the back.
Shot to Kill Him.
There is no question but what the
shot was fired with murderous intent.
for FIVE shots were fired directly at
him and the man ceased shooting only
when the chambers of his gun were
empty.
Pazell dropped to the ground and lay
there until he was picked up by sew
eral persons who were attracted to
the scene by the sound of the revolver
shots. DR.. I. Milestone was called to
the scene Immediately and ordered him
removed to Mercy hospital. An ex-
animation showed that the bullet
lodged within a short distance of the
lung, but was not deep enough so that
it will likely be fatal. DR.. Milestone
said that the operation to remove the
bullet would be performed today and
that the only danger was that blood
