tho bargo Itself will bo n total loss.
Tho government Jotty was badly dani

No ono wiw injnrud or lost In the

was hcnVlly laden with machinery
and consrructlon-mnterlnl for Porter
Ilrothcrs. Just who was to ultimo or

It seems that -as thoy started In
over tho bar, an ndvorso current
.rftiiRht tho bargo. which was largo
and rather unwlo'dy and swept her
over towards tmrnorth tfplt nnd Jotty.
Tho line of tho Itobarts did not break
but tho tug wns carried along with
her and until sho struck tho Jotty
rnnd was poundecWo pieces and sunk.
However, Sho -sunk near tho Jotty
and tollny workmen nro endeavoring
to lift tho machinery up on tho Jotty
ond haul It In that way and bollovo
thoy will be successful.
On tho Frederick woro two steam,
shovels and four 'fifteen-ton, dinky
.construction 1ocomotlv6s. There was
nlo n largo nmount-of othor machin
ery aboard, tho total cargo being val
ued by Tortor DratherH at 80,000.

A conflagration that threatened

city of ISastsldo, burned tho resi
dence f Mm, L. L. Gllbort to tho
ground at IT: IT. Inst night. A
house owned 'by John 'Lttpp nnd
also occupied ry tho Gilbert family,
was destroyed. The loss Is 'estimat

covered by lusurnpco,
Frank Mulr dl6covored tho fire

had spread over tho entire building,
lllumluntltig tlio sky, and the terri
tory of Enstsldo. Mrs. Gilbert and
hor daughter Gladys, who were In
the house nt the time, asleep, did
not awaken until the fire had gain
ed complete headway and rushed
from tho houso in their night
robes,
The origin of the fire Is not
known, but somo bellevo It was
caused by defective fluo. The Marsh
Hold flro department was unable
to bo of any assistance at the flro
for tho reason that the Enstsldo
ferry was stopped for tho night.
Many of tho flro department were
on liund, but they wero not pressed
Into service. Many havo suggested
that some member of tho flro de
partment should be familiar with
tho engine on tho Eastslde ferry, In
case of an emergency, as occurcd
last otetilng, the fire engine could
be run aboard tho boat and taken
to the sco of tho fire. No effort
could be made by tho residents of
Eastslde to, check the flames as an
artesian well near tho houso was
completely covered by the flames.
The flames burned steadily for an
hour, until the ntlre house was In
ruins. During the blaze a number
of shots were heard, evidently being
box of shells that exploded,
After the flames subsided, Mrs.
Gilbert and her daughter wero car
ed for by her sister, Mrs. C. K. Ro
mlne, of Eastslde. Mr. Gilbert Is
In Wallace, Idaho, on bus)ness at
present, and the news of the flro
was telegraphed him today.
