Fire Believed
Set Burns Home
Atlndependence

Independence, Or, Mar. 14-The
destruction of w. G. Grants house
in North Independence by fire dpr-
ing the early part of last week
makes the third conflagration thar
has occurred in that part of town
during the past few weeks and ali
are supposed to have been of in
cendiary origin. In each case the
family was absent when the fire
started and the contents were ocn-
sumed with the buildings.
Mrs. Grant and her oldest son
are lying critically i'll in the tuber-
culosis sanitarium at Salem, and
the younger children have been
staying with friends at Amity dur
ing the mothers illness. Mr.. Grant
left home on the evening previous
to the fire and drove to Amity to
get the children whom he intend
ed to take to Salem where they
could visit with the mother and
brother. Several hours after his de-
parture from home the fire broke
out and the home was entirely en-
veloped in flames before it was dis
covered by neighbors.
The house was insured for $1,000
and the contents for $500, but this,
it is said, will only partly cover the
loss. A new piano recently added
to the household effects was not IN
sured. Mr.. Grant is certain that
there was no fire left in the stove
when he left the house which
could have caused the fire. Bur he
can conceive of no reason why any
person should put him to such a
loss.
The officers believe that there is
a gang of boys in Independence
who go into houses they know to
be vacant to play cards and smoke,
and it is the belief that they are re-
sponsible for most of the fires here
during the winter.

Amsterdam, Mar. 14.-Former

Yallk Manners

London, March 14.-St. John Ir-
vine has discovered America"
He's a noted critic. He infers in
his announcement of the "discov-
cry" that he may have gone to
criticize, but he returns to praise.
He was the victim of the most
common fallacy held by English
men about America, a fallacy
which all the shoulder rubbing and
sharing of trials during the dar-
time seems to have loosened slight
ly, but only very slightly.
81 thought of America as a
country full of boasting. assertive
and rather mannerless people,
closely intent upon making money
and convinced that they had won
the war" he says,
Praises Our Manners.
'I discovered very speedily that
the average American has far bet
ter manners than the average Bri-
ton, that he does not boast more
excessively than he is entitled to
boast. and that he is. on the whole,
much more submissive to author
ity than the Englishmen are.
81 did not find one man or wo-
man in the parts of America visit
ed by me who had not a very
clear idea of the share of their
country in the winning of the war.
Love of money seems to me
among the least of American char
acteristics. What one does dis
cover in the whole population is a
real love of doing a job as well
as possible.

RAMAH MAY BUILD A
COMMUNITY CREAMERY;
ROADS TO BE POSTED

Ramah, N. NJ, March 13.-The
opening meeting of the Commercial
club of this place was addressed by
II, w. Yersin, one of the directors
of the Gallup Chamber of Com
merce on the subject of a COM
munity creamery for Ramah.
lie amazed the local alfalfa
growers when he showed them that
Gallup imported some 200, 900
pounds of butter from Kansas each
year to supply the country around
Gallup. With this wonderful
market at our doors he argued that
we had better look into the matter
of building a Community creamery
instead of hauling our alfalfa into
Gallup over the muddy roads Good
milk cows would consume all the
hay crop and the cream from the
milk would bring in more cash and
with a great deal less effort than
in selling the hay Mr.. Yersin's
talk was illuminating and resulted
in the appointment of a committee
to investigate the matter and report
at the next meeting of the club.
. Homer, Powers, county agricul-
tural agent, made a stereopticon
talk on milk cows and silos, feed
and protection which aptly supple
mented Mr.. Yersin's talk.
Mr.. Brose, another director of
the Gallup Chamber of Commerce,
and county school superintendent,
spoke about school and other mat
ters.
The Commercial club quartette,
consisting of Joe Burgess, Charles
Davis, Joy Davis and Frank Nicol,
made it's debut and made a hit with
their songs.
The club orchestra, under the
leadership of Joe Burgess, played
several selections and put over tho
best music the Ramah people have
ever listened to from home talent.

tee made its report. Its plan of
work, which will include signing all
the roads leading into Ramah from

the cave ruins, etc.
Substantial progress was report

TURNS DOWN OFFER TO

TO SERVE AS SHERIFF

Wagner, Okla, March 10. -
Sheriff Marsh Corgan, of Wagner
county, will preserve the law and
serve divorce and other papers
rather than serve up spit balls

Duty to his constituents and a
desire for the good will of his
friends caused the newly elected
sheriff to return a contract to
Charles A. Comisky, owner of the
White Sox. s'.
Fans and supporters of the base
ball side of the sheriff declare it
is a case of politics robbing the
baseball diamond of a star" Sher-
if Corgan asserts that it was a
case of choosing between serving
as an officer of the law and a
"tryout" with the Chicago club.
Belief that he would be "farmed
OUT also influenced his decision
to turn down the offer, he said
MY experience is not extensive,

but from my viewpoint it is not a
successful business, especially for
me-"
The terms of the contract were
satisfactory. Corgan declared, but
through lack of professional ex-
perience and fear of the farm
1t was refused. He will play with
a local team here this season.
