REGULAR ARMY MAN
MAY Be ELIGIBLE
Question of Whether He Can Take
Commission in National Guard up
to Attorney General.

An opinion from the attorney general
as to whether there was anything in
the constitution or laws of the state
which would prevent commission Of
the national guard being issued to an
officer Of the regular army was asked
today by Governor West.
Accompanying the governors letter
was one from Major-General Wood to
Senator Chamberlain, in which it was
stated that it was proposed to elect
Major c. H. Martin as colonel of the

Otherwise there might be some oppo-

The Capital Journal is not for sale, no
more than its news or editorial col

Page "gets it," it will be without the
consent of the present owners, for they
are not yet through with it, For this
and various other reasons The Capital
journal firmly objects to being "got'

else.
Besides, the city attorney has never
had any newspaper experience, and the
management and publishing Of the pa
per might interfere with his duties as
city attorney. OF course, he, like many
others, may imagine there is but little
work and no brains required to pub

SEVENTEEN HORSES
BURNED TO DEATH
Big Barn on the Hirschberg
Hop Ranch Destroyed
With All Its Contents.
FINE RACE HORSE BURNS
Hop Yard Is One Of the Largest in the
World, veritsble City In Hop
Picking Time.
FINE RACE HORSE BURNS

Sixteen head Of fine draft horses and
a thousand.dollar running horse burned
to death and one of the most complete
stables in the valley was destroyed by
a fire which broke out in the barn on
the Hirschberg farm near Independence
last night about 10 o'clock.
The stable housed horses and imple-
ments which were used in cultivating
the third largest hop farm in the world.
The yard is known as the Mclaughlin
farm, it being owned by H. Hirschberg
and rented by G. A. Mclaughlin. Just
how the blaze originated is unknown.
1t broke out in the loft, it is believed,
and from that section of the building
holding seventy tons of hay, the fire
spread rapidly and ehveloped the en-
tire premises before the hired hands,
who were sleeping in the farm house,
could realize the danger
Loss Enormous.
1t cannot be ascertained yet what
the total loss will be, but local hop
men who are acquainted with Mr.. Nc.
Laughlin and who have visited the farm
many times, declare that the damage
will run up into thousands Of dollars.
Every one of the sixteen head Of horses
was easily worth 5000, it is said, while
the stable was considered to be one Of
the finest in the state. 1t was built
on plans similar to those adopted by
the state in constructing the model
dairy barns at the state institutions
and was complete in every way.
The barn contained costly farm i'm.
plements in great number. The running
horse which met death in the flames
is considered by hOrsemen here to have
been worth over $1,000. II won first
money at several races held in Inde-
pendence and took second and third
money at Lone Oak track last year in
the half mile races.
The owner of the property does not
know accurately just how much was
destroyed by the flames. However, the
amount will be very large and but little
of the property was covered by insur-
ance according to advices received from
Independence this morning
Farm House Escapes,
By good fortune the wind was in tho
right direction to carry tho flames away
from the large farm house and other
buildings near the barn. The flames
illuminated the heavens southwest Of
this city and it is said that citizens
Of Independence flocked to the scene
of the cOnflagration in large numbers.
The Mclaughlin yard is one of the
largest hop farms in the world. 1t COW
ers great amount of land and hun
dreds Of bales Of hops are gathered
from IT annually. During picking sea-
son, the farm presents the appearance
of city. Stores of every description
are in operation while steamers and
trains carry great crowds to the camp
ing grounds.
