was not yet ready for a permanent
location. This is not the first time
that this arbitrary disposition has
been manifested towards the Light
company by the Council
Among the many beautiful win
dow displays OF the past week, was
one of the Daily Bread Shop,
which for skill in the manipulation OF
common material really took the
cake. 1t was the scene OF light
house on a rocky coast. with lights
aglOw, cliffs and a forebay of waves,
with boats aud shipping. a fringe
of trees along the shore, a neat dwell
ling house. chapel with lights shin
ing from the windows, and people
apparently moving about at their us
ual avocationS, all made OF the simple
article of sugar by Peter Hangen,
the chief of the pastry work OF the
bakery. The tinting of the many
things outlined was marvelonSiy true
to nature, and was the subject of
comment to all who saw it.
On Saturday morning at an early
hour about O'Clock the MUMMY
mill just west of the Northern Pacific
depot was discovered to be- on fire,
and alarm Immediately sounded. but
so rapidlythe flames spread that by
the time aid arrived was we'll ablaze.
but was checked in its spread by 3
O'Clock. The dry Kiln was saved by
the timely arrival of the auto engine.
After the fire had entered the engine
room from which it was driven and
the machinery surrounded by seething
flames was set in motion to facilitate
its own safety 1t is expected that
the mill will be rebuilt, and the
damage will probably be covered
by several thousand dollars insur-
ance.

generally classified as an obstruc-
zionist in speedy erection of the State
house. has lately expressed his acqies
cence in the systems adopted for
handling the State capitol and-grant.
and he expresses the belief that it will
provide sufficient money to pay
the capitol debt and to build the new
structure and that there will be suffi.
cient to maintain the building for
all time He declares that the value
of the timber will constantly increase
and that in time there will be money
enough to provide Washington with
the finest group OF capitol buildings
to be found anywhere in the United
States.
One of the prettiest, amusing and
artistic window decorations for Eas.
ter was made in the west show-win-
dow of Frieske's Pharmacy by Ralph
Allen. the popular clerk. 1t con-
sisted OF floor-covering of green
grass enclosed in o stake .and-rider
fence, on which sported a couple pair
of white rabbits, apparently obliv-
ious of the fact that an attentive aud
tory was gazing at their amusing
antics. Why it is that these cute
little creatures are always associated
with the Easter festival it might be
difficult to explain, but to complete
the picture. Easter eggs were in evil
dence, and a partially concealed cleo
trio light cast mild radiance over
the scene that perfected the picture
of arcadian contentment.
