SUDDEN FIRE
PIERCE AD KIDDLE BROTHERS
LOSE HEAVILY.
Twenty-Three Thousand Dollars Said
to be Loss Sustained. .
Further details of the flren the
warehouse of the Pierce siding yes
terday afternoon, which was briefly
mentioned in The Observer, shows
that Walter M.. Pierce and "Kiddle
Brothers sustained a loss of $23,000
and over and that there was no in
surance on any of the grain.
The warehouse was ignited by a
burning box car attached to the log
ging train ' which the incoming log
gin train crew attempted to bring to
Island City. The engine on the train
is said to be such as casts sparks in
discriminately and fires have been re
peated occurrences. The box car
caught fire at Alicel and when it
passed the warehouse' at the Pierce
siding, the flames were leaping fif
teen feet in the air, according to em
ployes on the Pierce ranch. They real
ized that the warehouse was in danger
and hurried toward the place but
Just as soon as the fire train had
passed the warehouse was aflame and
practically beyond control in a mo
ment's time. The loss was complete
and without insurance. Mr. Pierce
claims the fire was the result of gross
netgjlect on the part of the O. R. & N.
and intends to seek damage money. .
The engine ignited several fires
between the Pierce siding and Island
City though none of them were of con
sequence, but it demonstrates, says
Mr. Pierce, that the engine was a me
nace to the community.
The wheat and oats were of high
grade and the timothy hay was the
very best Mr. Pierce grows.
The Various Losses.
5,000 bushels of wheat owned by
Kiddle Brothers.
5,000 bushels of wheat owned by
Walter Pierce.
Mr. Pierce also had stored in the
building 15,000 bushels of oats and
170 tons of fine Eastern Oregon tim
othy hay which has been bringing
him $20 per ton.
Loss to building), $3,200.
Total loss sustained over $23,000.
Spokane Is Incensed.
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 3 (Special)
Protests against tlie deteislon of
the census department withholding
the Spokane figures until the Tacoma
case has been settled are being sent
to Washington D. C, by business and
professional interests in this city.
The Spokane chamber of commerce
also has taken up the matter, the
officers regarding the decision as un
just one in view of the fact that W.
A. McKenzie, inspector of census,
gave out the information that no
fraud ha'd been attempted in Spo
kane. Charles M. Fassett, president
of the organization, announced today
that a formal protest will be filed by
the chamber of commerce, adding.
"Following the statement by Mr. Mc
Kenzie' that our figures are substan
tially correct I can see no reason
why we should be held up. We be
lieve we have a right to know and
we shall Insist that Spokane be In
formed of its census returns without
being held up until the Tacoma diffi
culty has been settled. We have a
right to know and to protect our in
terest the same as any city n the coun
try, and, satisfied that our figures are
correct we shail Insist upon that
right"
Taw Pleases Seattle.
Seattle proved itself a real music
lovinfc cflty, when twenty-four hours
after Mme. Gadskl's appearance a
second large and brilliant audience
filled the Moore theatre to listen to
Ellen Beach Yaw, coloratura soprano
who is touring the west and will visit
La Grande says the Seattle, P. I. .
Miss Taw sang In splendid voice
and both Mrs. Mary Newman, pianist,
and Jay Plowe, solo flutist, were at
their best. The result was a program
me to delight the most exacting.
A pleasant feature of the program
was the bond of sympathy between
the singer and the audience. Miss
Taw's dramatic interpretation found
ready echo In the emotions of her
auditors and her lighter touches met
Instant response In smiles and laugh
ter as spontaneous as the art which
caused them.
One of the most popular numbers

of the programme was Miss Yaw's -i
own composition, "Love's Lament,"
an appealing tone picture in minor
key. Again In Haydn's "My Mother
Bids Me Bind My Hair," Miss Yaw s
wonderful voice especially appealed.
The mad scene from "Lucia" gave her
especial opportunity to display her
marvelous range.
Mr. Plowe shared the honors with
Miss Yaw. In a concertino of Cham
lnade, a serenade of Kohler's and a
valse of Chopin's, his solo numbers,
he called forth enthusiastic applause,
as did his encores.
Mrs. Newman, who played a larg-
hetto of Kuhlau's with a flute obligato
by Mr. Plowe, was accorded a very
hearty reception.
