The train was stopped and the crew
went back only to see the animal rise
and run back into its pasture. The im-

Years Postmaster, Tenders
His Resignation

ELMA, Oct. 5.-Alexander Jolley,

lican and knows that he will not be
reappointed, and wants to 60 down

ing to be removed.
The record of Mr.. Jolley is believ.
ed to be without parallel in the State
of Washington. During all of his in
cumbency the Office has maintained
high standard Of efficiency, and the
eighteen years have witnessed the
books correct to the last penny. Mr.
Jolley has received appointment after
appointment on his merits, at one
time being reappointed without even
an application.
Mr. Jolley's present term would
have expired on December 18th. Mrs
Mabel V. Alvey, who has been assist.
ant postmistress for period of about
IA years will retire with her father
AS she has been engaged in business
life for so many years and prefers to
continue in it, she has accepted an.
other position in Elma.
w. F. Roberts and ]. Will Anderson
are active applicants for the place as
postmaster, and it is likely that the
postmaster general will make his
choice between them. The action of
Mr.. Jolley in resigning at the present
time will cause the department to
move more speedily in the matter and
it is likely that an appointment will
be made by the middle of November
at the latest.

ABERDEEN WINS
OVER JEFFERSON
Aberdeen Wins First Football
Game Of Season From Jef-
ferson Of Portland

In a clean, fast game that was
straight football throughout. Aber-
deem high school, playing its first
home game Of the season, defeated
Jefferson high school Of Portland
at the new athletic park Saturday
afternoon by a score of 25-3
Aberdeen's tactics were of the old
line-smashing kind, and the Jeffer-
son line was practically battered to
pieces, the game being steady grind,
ending periodically with a touchdown.
Finkney, Aberdeen's fullbacn, vas
used in about every third play. and
was the great producer of yardaEe
Capt. Johnson, right half, was also
valuable at line plunging and Faulk
did good work in receiving forward
passes, being one of the stars of the
game.
Pinkney scored the first touchdown
in the first five minutes of play, and
he also scored the second touchdown
which was converted into goal by
Johnson. Pinckney made three of Alb,
erdeen's touchdowns and Faulk the
remaining one.
Jefferson's fullback, Beach, was a
good kicker and it was a couple of
fumbles from his kicks that permitted
Jefferson, in the last five minutes of
play, to get close enough to Aber-
deems goal line to score. A point
against the visitors was that they had
only two weeks of practice.
"Wee" Coyle of Seattle, refereed
the game and Ira Blackwell was um-
pire.
The teams lined up as follows:
Aberdeen-Morgan, C; Leon, rg;
l.. Johnson, lg; Anderson, rt; Inge-
britsen, 1t; Thompson, re; Faulk, le

PACIFIC BEACH
HOTEL BURNEI
The Popular Beach Resort
Is Totally Destroyed by
Fire Saturday

Fire early Saturday morning com.
pletely destroyed the Pacific Beach
hotel, the most pretentious hostelry
on the north beach, together with
most of it's contents and nearly en-
quilted some of the inmates. The
building, which was handsome two
story frame structure, standing on
the bluff at Pacific Beach, was val
ued at about $1,000, on which there
7;yas $3ovo insurance. Insurance tc
the amount of $4,000 was carried on
the contents. Carl Cooper, owner OF
the property, has not yet announced
his future plans.
The fire started from the stove in
the dining room about $50 O'Clock
and was not discovered for some
minutes, when the Japanese cook,
who was on duty in the kitchen with
a boy, suddenly found the room in
flames. He Immediately gave the
alarm and the other occupants of the
hotel, who were Mr.. Cooper, second
kitchen boy, Miss Russell, teacher of
the Pacific Beach school, and Mrs.
Sterling, who with her husband had
registered the night before from
Walla Walla, had barely time to es-
cape partially dressed Mrs. Ster-
ling was overcome by smoke and was
carried down the stairs by Mr..
Cooper, who also was nearly over
come. Mr. Sterling had gone out a
few minutes before to mail letter
at the depot, and saw the fire from
the depot.
All the inmates lost all their
clothes and effects, except what they
stood in, and in the case of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sterling the inventory included
two trunks, 5000 in gold and some
drafts. Mr.. Sterling had hopes yes
terday of getting back his gold in
nugget form, when the ashes were
cool.
All that was saved of the contents
of the hotel was from the first story
residents of Pacific Beach and par
ticularly the Northern Pacific rail-
way employees, forming themselves
into an efficient salvage corps and
rescuing the piano, safe, cash regis
ter, victrola and dining room tables
Mr.. Cooper's auto was also saved,
though the garage was burned. The
contents of the billiard room all
went up in smoke.
There was no means of fighting the
fire, beyond the inadequate bucket
method, and the structure was DOOM
ed from the first.
The Pacific Beach hotel was built
seven years ago by the Pacific Beach
company and was purchased from
the company by Mr.. Cooper about
three years ago. Practically q new
wing recently was added. The hotel
could accommodate about 60 guests
and in the beach season was always
fun, being one Of the most popular
resorts Of the north beach.

WOULD AID SALE
OF DOUGLAS FIR
Chief Of estigation Bureau
Is In Seattle Making Tests
of the Timber
HELPED YELLOW PINE
Tests and Rating Of Southern
Timber Helped Open Mar
kets Says Official

SEATTLE, Oct. 5.-Dealers in
Douglas fir on the Pacific coast have
not taken advantage of the opportun-
tiles offered by the bureau of indus
trial investigation of the United
States forest service, according to O..
T. Swan, chief of the bureau, who
is making an investigation of the
Western lumber trade and the pro-
cesses employed in it's manufacture.
He is registered at the Frye hotel.
The bureau conducts tests of tim.
ber in the laboratories of the Uni
versity of Washington, in which all
the properties of timber, the yield
of charcoal and gas, the strength OF
various grades and kinds, their pos.
sibilities for different uses are in.
vestigated. One of the most import
ant branches of their work is the de
termination of the strength of tim
bers.
May Suggest Experiments.
''In conducting tests, the timber
men are given an opportunity to sug
gest what sort shall be carried on
said Mr.. Swan. "In response to this
the yellow pine men Of the South
have made numerous suggestions ol
interest to their own kind of timber
and have come to sell their product
in the Eastern market In accordance
with the ratings of the bureau. Do
ing that involves a more careful sc
lection Of the timber which is offer
ed for sale in that market, which
in it's turn, Of course, involves ar
added expense. But the unsolicited
Douglas fir has rating of only about
1000 while the yellow pine is ratet
at 1,300 and the manufacturers, BY
using a still more careful method ol
selection, hope to raise that as higt
as 1900.
Recognized in East.
"The building codes in some of thu
larger Eastern cities have come t.
accept the bureaus ratings as Official
and in view CT that fact, the tra.,
in yellow pine there Is tending to in
crease at the expense of the -'g
las fir. Yet, if the timber dealers ou
here would exercise the same care
full selection as the Southern dealers
have, l do not see any reason why
the Douglas fir should not receive
quite as high a rating as their pro
duct has"
Mr.. Swan is accompanied by R. E
Simmons, of the same bureau, who
has been loaned for year to the bu
reau of foreign and domestic com
merce, and who is shortly to start
for South America, where he will
spend that year in the Investigation
of trade possibilities.
Saturday afternoon the two men
met with representatives of the West
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Asso
citation in discussion of the work
of the bureau.
