been given out. Some seem to
think that it started from the
dynamo.
". Silverton residents were; awak
ened between 4 and 3 tilock by
the blowing of the fire siren and
the glare of the light caused by
the fire. The fire hydrants were
frozen and for some time the fire
department was unable to get any
water to fight the blaze. When
water could be had, it is said, It
was too late to save the burning
building. -
The ost of the building was.
estimated at $8,000, with an In
surance of $6,000. For tempor
ary relief double shifts will be
run in the Washington Irving
building. As' Silverton schools
were in a crowded condition be
fore, this works double hardship
on the district. The pupils rho
were in this building will not at
tend school until after; the holi
days. - i -

A representative gathering of
the cherry, growers of the Salem
district assembled at the Salem
Chamber of ; Commerce at 1:30
yesterday afternoon, according to
announcement.
O. E. Brooks was in the chair,
and Lloyd T. Reynolds acted as

at the preliminary meeting. They
were made permanent officers of
the organization of cherry growers
of this part of the valley, to In
clude those of Marion. Polk, Yam
hill, Linn and Washington coun
ties. Mr. Reynolds was also made
treasurer.
The committee theretofore ap
pointed, consisting, of G. Stolz,
George Vick, Dr. Carruthers,
Harry II- Hill and Ralph Gibson,
brought in a report assessing each
grower of an acre or less SO cents,
and others 50 cents an acre, up
to $5, to raise money to assist
In sending men to Washington to
work with congress for a 6-cent
protective duty on cherries.
Four States Have Joined
" This movement was started at
The Dalles. The growers there
raised a fund to send, a man
throughout the cherry growing
districts of Oregon, California,
Washington and Idaho., This has
been done, and the growers , of.
these four states have agreed to
participate In the movement, and
are organizing and raising funds
for the purpose.
Eugene district growers havte!
joined. Woodburn growers have
passed resolutions in favor of the
movement.
Representatives of the Oregon
growers are to meet for further
organization and arrangements, at
Portland on January 8. The meet
ing of yesterday named as, dele
gates to the Portland meeting the
members-of the first and now
permanent : committee mentioned
above, and also Ira Powell of Mon-;
mouth. Max Gehlhar of Polk coun-j
tv. N. L Gnv of Dallas. Rav Glatt
of Woodburn, A. E. Wright Of
Hopewell,' O. E. Brooks ttnd, Geo.

All the growers present ex-
pressed a determination to per
fect a thorough organization, to
provide the necessary funds,' and
to keep up the organization till
the C-cent protective duty is -secured.
':
, It -was the general expression
that such relief must be had if
the cherry growing industry .of
these four states Is to be saved
and kept prosperous.

Sixty-Five Copies Were Sold
Yesterday, .and ;t Re
ceives High Praise "
Ella McMunn's first (book, "Down
on the. Farm," - received many
words' of high praise yesterday
from those who had read it
They agreed that it contains
sketches that will live; that will
be quoted by coming generations.
It is so different. It Is unique.
It is a part of the life of Ella Mc
Munn. It gives forth her "kindly
attitude towards all people and all
living things.
' Sixty-five more copies were sold
at Patton'a book store yesterday.'
Almost equal to the number Fri
day, the first day, when 69, were
sold.
i If the mall orders grow, as they,
may, there will be none of the
S00 copies of the first edition left
by Thursday, Christmas day. That
will surely be gratifying. Ella Me
Munn talked of having 200 print
ed. She thought 500 might be
too many. '
There is no telling how many
may- yet be sold. It Is conceiv
able that hundreds of thousands
may be wanted. - -a,
Any way, the 500 will last only
a short time; and they may all be
gone before Wednesday night. I
And Ella McMunn will have a;
very substantial Christmas gift
from the public In cash; and what
is more, she .will have a testimon
ial of kindly approval from that
same generous public1 that will be
still more highly appreciated and,
encouraging. - : '
