STEWART STORE AT cEpAREpeE
BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE

Word came to this city yesterday
morning that F. ]. Stewards general
merchandise store at Cedaredge was
almost If not altogether consumed by
fire at about midnight Wednesday.
Independent reporter sought an in
terview with Cedaredge parties as to
details and learned that the fire or
iginated in the basement, presumably
from lamp or blazing match dropped
unknowingly during the afternoon by
persons working in that part of the
building when goods of some kind be-
came ignited and then smouldered
along until a flame resulted.
Cedaredge people were all sound
asleep at that hour and the flames
gained considerable headway before
alarm was turned in and volunteer
fire fighters arrived upon the scene
A brave fight was made and some
goods and fixtures saved, but nearly
all the stock is badly damaged, either
by fire or water. The building was
also badly damaged.
The loss, it is said, will total sew
eral thousand dollars.

Your Boys and Girls.


The fact that children crave sugar
or sweets to a thinking mother should
mean something. An instinct that has
come down through thousands of years
unaltered should have an important
place in our plan. A child likes sugar
just as 1t likes air, sunlight. play and
sleep. and this desire. as mature. the
good old nurse" back OF 1t. II should
not be ignored.
When sugar is mentioned II does
not mean always the table sugar that
you put in your coffee. II is chemical
sugar. The mother who has a medical
idea that we must refrain from that
which we like is doing an injury to
her child. or course the danger OF
excess is always present. A child
may eat too much sugar and in many
cases stay in the bath tub too long or
too long In the sun or air. but no intel.
ligent mother is going to deprive her
child of baths. sun and air. Why
should the ban be put on sugar?
A craving for candy is due to sugar

day when one of the legislative com 111ittees voiced the sentiment that the .jitneys must pay the same rate on the gross income as the electrics, keeping obliged to keep in repair the center Of the streets.
 At the California state capitol in the course of hearing it was stated that there were more than 500 jftney buss- es along Market street. San Francis co. Assuming that each jitney takes in$5 a day it will be seen that a total of $2,5Oo a day is deflected from the receipts of the United Railroads.
 Federal trustees of the Rhode Is1- and Company, Providence, have writ ten the city council committee that unless the new service is put under regulations analogous to those faced Fg the railway, or it is relieved of slme of its burdens it will be unable to continue business.
 The city counsiI of Toronto, Ont, has the matter of jitney regulations under consideration. The mayor thinks the jttney will act as an educator of business.
 Salt Lake Cfty's ordinance includes all motor-driven vehicles operated for transpo of the public.
 Memphis Street Railway people wants such regulation of jftneys as will place them on equal footing with the street railway. They claim that the street railway pays out in money for street paving each month than SIS jitneys would pay into the city treas ury in a year under the present lf- cense law. The company operated in 1914 an average Of 165. cars for an av- craze of fifteen hours a. day The cars average thirty-eight seats each. More than half the time during the year half of the seats were hauled empty. For each Of the seats in the 165 cars the company paid over $22 direct tax. and including5th the paving the tax was $41.79, or $1,588 per car.
 I According to figures from the po- lice records of the city of Seattle there were S14N Njitney accidents between De eember 28 and March 1T. In these accidents eighty-five pedestrians were struck down. thirty-four were Injured by the auto being damaged and 19E busses were injured without injury tc passengers or pedestrians.
 In Worcester the claim is made that small cars cannot be run at a profit It was estimated that about 8,5oC passengers were carried in jitneys las week. Less than a dozen machines were operated.
 In San Francisco jitneys are no run on streets covered by the trolley but on parallel streets whenever pos lsible-

 MT. Whitney stated that he did not feel at liberty to say more than that the Lake company has an Immediate necessity for increased facilities to construct the Lake type of. subma- rines- The water-tights superstruc- ture, even keel submergence by later al hydroplanes and other general prin- cip1es of the Lake type, have been demonstrated in the German submaz rines to be superior to ail others. It is believed that this point accounts for the visits of, many strangers to the plant. @
 The company has outgroWn it's pres enr snipyard, which is located upon the south side of Seaview avenue, where it has about one thousand feet of water front aS1e
 The acompany's lands and water front on the north side of Seaview avenue are such that the capacity of the Conpany,s Bridgeport plant can be trebled whenever Johnson's Greek | is dredged, and the company's adja- cent lands are raised. to the general level of the district. ,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-04-20

The United States Government -ha-a granted the company an official per- init to dredge and fill, and plans and specifications for the work are now in. the hands of tentative bidders. { Several street sewers must be elz- tended about 8 couple Of blocks to the zharbor line. It Is necessary to dis continue the unused submerged street which is mapped across the eompany's lands.
 The company's confidential engiu- eering plans have been exhibited to the city officials. The city has no funds imme ediately available for sew CT extension purposes and the city's sewer system plan calls ultimately for a pumping station.
 It is impossible for the Company to wait for the usual red tape incident to providing sewers and closing streets. Negotiations are under way to have the Company put up the cost of extending the sewers.
 Ways and means for meeting tha unusual need of quick action are he= ing. studied by experts and there is great confidence that some practical method can be secured to provide inn nnediately for facilities for building an additional number of subnnssEin eH at the Bridgeport plant instead or nev eessitating the Company's buiIdinE elsewhere, where facilities are already available
 The common council received from the company last night a petition for permission to4discep#inue part of De Forest avenue, the propertv contigu= ous to which is included in the Lake companXs recent purchases. The petition provides that the company shall construct a sewer at it's own e1E- pense, running from the end OF the DeForest avenue sewer to near the end of the Jefferson street sewer.
