The strike of tho marine engineers on the Snako River has completely tied up all boats and the fruitgrowers on the river are losing heavily thereby. In some in stances hogs have been turned Into the orchards to eat up the fruit which is rotting on the ground. W. L.- La Follette, the "fruit king" of the Palouse country, who has an orchard of 240 acres at Wawawal, has turned 200 hogs Into his orchard to eat up his prune crop and other frulta Mr. La Follette had six carloads of fruit ln hla orchard when the strike began, and will prob ably save two carloads of this by haullrig to railroad points. The remainder wilt be used for hog feed. His . loss will probably be about $2000. Probably 20 per cent of the season's crop remained on the trees when the steamers stopped. One-third of this will be saved, so that the aggregate loss will be but a small per cent of the total crop, but will amount up to many thousands of dollars. Tho fruit crop on the river is much below the average yield for a number of years. Mr. La Follette would have shipped 25 carloads, ln addition to the local sales to wagons, had It not been for the strike. Last year his orchard shipped 0 carloads, and the previous year 75 carloads of fruit. His peach crop this season amounted to 15.000 boxes, as against 30.000 last, year, and 40,000 ln 1900. Local prlcco are about the same this year as during the two previous seasons, but the Eastern market was not so good.

Richardson Tells of His Experi ence ln the Cyclone of Flames. VANCOUVER. Wash.. 'Sept 17. (Spe cial.) Reports concerning the flrg damage the past week continue to come In.. James B. Richardson, of Dole, who has the mall contract for that section, was In Van couver today. It Is a story of error that Mr. Richardson tells, and IU was only by the most heroic efforts for 24 hours of unceasing labor that he was able to save his home and family. The settlement about Dole laid directly ln the path of the tornado of Are which swept down from the northeast, and covered with devastation a territory- full 50 miles long and 15 miles wide. Only four families In the region escaped without serious loss of property, while the rest are bereft .ot homes, clothing and everything needful to keep them during the approaching Winter. Five lives are known to have been lost, while many prospectors In that section are as yet unaccounted for. Every bridge, the schoolhouse, and fully 20 homesteads were completely consumed, the Inhabitants thankfully escaping with their lives. The awfulness of the conflagration cannot be tpld ln words," said Mr. Rich ardson. "I heard the great roar and to ward the north saw the heavens pink to the zenith. To the south It was as dark as night I ran to turn my cows out to ward the creek, wnen as suaaeniy as tne explosion of a great mass of gas, every thing was light, and there was flre on every hand. Such a roaring and seething no words can describe. Great towering. twisting, funnel-shaped flames would dome whirling through the air with a noise like the cylinder of a threshing ma chine. These would disappear like a flash, to be followed by others. Great fragments of logs two feet In diameter would be hurled about, burning flercely. I saw a big Iron-bound trunk, full of goods, which was weighted down with a heavy stove, picked up and hurled for 40 yards against a stump. The goods were scattered and on Are ln less time than It takes to tell. It was a veritable tornado of Are, and no man who did not experience it con form any adequate Idea of what It was. Imagine how it was to know what 1'ttle one could do to contend 'against It or how futile would be an effort to go to the assistance of any one.' For 24 hours I fought the Are around my house, running here, now there, to put out the Aames that would break, out ln the grass and creep toward my house. For three days and two nights It was so dark we had to keep a lamp burning In order to see. Losses About Dole.
