NARROW ESCAPE
FROM CREMATION
Residence of DR.. A. T.. Shaw Quilted
Early Sunday and Mrs. Shaw
and Daughter Have Narrow
Escape

Mrs. A. E. Shaw and her
daughter, Tot narrowly escaped Gre
nation in a fire which early Sunday
morning Quilted the Shaw residence
at 200 Spaulding street, resulting in
a loss of $4,000. DR.. Shaw was in
Cotton and one of the daughters
Babe, was in the country visiting
friends. Mrs. Shaw and Tot we're
occupying separate rooms on the
second floor, and the daughter was
awakened at one o'clock by the
dense smoke and the cracking of
the flames. She leaped from her
bed and awakened Mrs. Shaw, but
the stairway was already in flames
and the two ladies were forced to
rush down stairs through the
fire, although both escaped in
jury. 1t is probable that had the
fire been discovered five minutes
later both the ladies would have
been burned to death, as the bla: e
had gained great Roadway.
The fire started upstairs, over the
kitchen, probably from defective
wiring, and everything in the second
floor, including all the clothing and
a large amount of furniture, was
destroyed The piano and some fur
niture was saved from the first
floor. DR.. Shaw estimates the en-
tire loss at $4,000, with $4,000 in
surance on the house and $500 on
the contents. His net loss, over and
above the insurance, will be $1,000.
The fire department responded
promptly to the changing of the fire
bell, but the flames had gained such
Roadway that but little couio
be saved.

he gets a good mile stretch of a
quarter of mile in width. Talk
about moving it down; 1t certainly
was u sight for the gods to see the
way that outfit works The five
binders were of three different
makes, but all worked perfectly all
the way through. But in case of ac-
cident an expert was engaged to fol-
low the binders and keep them in
good working order. This man was
called the doctor and he surely kept
his patients in good shape.
MIR. Hodges has a section and
three-quarters of land and on one of
these section almost every foot was
plowed up and in crop. In the other
section he has 1886 acres all in one
piece. In all he had 500 acres in
wheat, $40 acres of oats and three
acres of corn. Besides this he has
a fine patch of garden stuff. The
corn was grown from seed provided
by the local branch of the Royal
bank. The corn also was a great
success as it stands now from six
to eight feet high.
ITO do this work Mr.. Hodges re-
CURED staff of Is men and his barn
yard at the close of the days work
looked like a busy village on fair
day. He also has his own threshing
outfit and intends to start right into
the threshing at once. Besides
threshing his own crop he will also
thresh for the farmers of the neigh
borhood."

ANOTHER PIONEER
CROSSES DIVIDE
Richard Smith Homesteaded Here
Forty Years Ago-Died Mt Rose
Park Hospital Wednesday
Morning

Richard Smith, aged ~ years, died
al the Rose Park hospital early
Wednesday morning from senile de-
cav aggravated by heart trouble.
from which he had suffered more or
less for several years. Mr.. Smith
was one of Pullmans earliest
nioneers, having homesteaded near
here nearly 40 years ago, and was
we'll known to hundreds of Whitman
county people. For several years he
has made his home on his 35-acre
tract five miles south of Pullman,
where he raised fruit and garden
truck. He was a bachelor, never hay
ing married and leaves one brother,
William Smith of Green Isle, Mimi,
one sister, Mrs. Helen e. Taylor of
Seattle, and a niece, Mrs. S. II.
Breeze of near Pullman. Mr.. Smith
had five brothers, only one of whom
survives, and four of the brothers
blended the Stars and Stripes dur
hglhe Civil war.
Immediately upon his death tele-
gram was sent to the brother in Min
nesota, but the brother and his wife
had already started for Pullman to
visit Mrs Breeze and Mr.. Smith, and
the telegram was sent back to Spo-
kane, where they received it Wednes-
day evening, taking the Thursday
morning train for Pullman. The
brother, William Smith, is 80 years
of age and G. A. R. man, and had
not seen his Pullman brother for
many years.
The state G. A. r. encamplnent,
held here in 1912, was the occasion
for happy reunion for Mr.. Smith,
as he met for the first time in 40
years his only living sister, of whose
whereabouts he had lost all account.
Ahio oio'Ci was Mis-. I16lcu II. dy-
lor who came to the encampment as
color bearer for the Seattle branch of
the Ladies of the G. A. R.. She was
30 years of age at that time, and her
honor and respect for the Stars and
stripes had led the old veterans to
lovingly nickname her "Old Glory"
she was a familiar character here
during the encampme nt and will be
remembered by many local people
Ihe meeting between brother and
sister was entirely unexpected, and
was one of the happiest events of the
entire encampment.
Funeral services over the body of
Richard Smith will be held this
friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
hlmoalfs undertaking parlors.

PULLMAN CITIZENS
USE MUCH WATER
over Seven Million Gallons Con.
sumed During August--Ayerage
40 Gallons Per Capita
Each Day

That Pullman citizens make good
use of their excellent water system Is
evidenced by figures compiled by C.
Nj. Hooper, city water superintend-
eht' covering the water consumption
for the first eight months of this
year. Mr.. Hooper estimates Pull
mans present population at 34O0 in
compiling his figures, and on that
OASIS an average of approximately As
gallons of water is consumed each
day Tor every man, woman and child.
August proved by far the heaviest
drain on the water supply, but even
during that month the capacity of
the magnificent system was not ap-
preached by one-third. During Au-
gust total OF 7.224,840 gallons OF
water was used, 2l24 gallons per
capita for the month or an average of
6S gallons per capita for each day
of the month. The other months
included in the tabulation were as
follows
January, 368,S4O gallons; 1884
gallons per capita for the month;
AZ gallons per capita per day.
February 3,536,520 gallons:
l040 gallons per capita for the
month; 81 gallons per capita per day
March--4,0348S0 gallons; 1856
gallons per capita for the month; 3S
gallons per capita per day.
April-4,257,120 gallons; 1852
gallons per capita for month; 40 gal
Ions per capita per day.
May-5,323,8 800 gallons; 1866 gal
Ions per capita for the month; so
gallons per capita per day.
June-5,772,120 gallons; 1897
gallons per capita for the month;
Sc gallons per capita per day.
July-6,612,440 gallons; 1914
gallons per capita for the month; 81
gallons per capita per day.
These figures include the water
used for street flushing purposes,
which would reduce the per capita
consumption for the entire eight
months to approximately as gallons
per capita per day.

". Hodges Farms on Big Scale

Walter Hodges, who is probably
one of the biggest individual farmers
of this district, finished up last Mon
day evening, cutting $40 acres of
grain on his own farm. Besides this
he also cut 1870 acres for his neigh
Dor, A. Dubeau, making total of
1000 acres, which he cut and stacked
in II days.
This sounds like big work, but
Mr.. Hodges does not cut in the usual
way. He has big farm and he does
things on big scale. To cut his
crop he has a gasoline engine to
which he attaches five binders. AS
most of his grain Is in one solid mass

weak sort we so often come in contact
Without great, pure passion of one
of natures noblemen for one of the

nearly he succeeded and how he pros
