Athena, Aug. 13. This is tho sea son of the year when grain fires are becoming prevalent and farmers arc hopii s that the fire demon will not get its grip on their fields before the crop is harvested. During the past few days there have been two field fires, one of which Is the worst in this vicinity during sov eral years past. Yesterday the grain in the field of W. T. Hill, living about five miles northwest of Athena, caught fire and the threshing outfit, which was operating, was totally de stroyed, together with 250 sacks of grain which had just been threshed. There is considerable diversity of opinion among the threshing crew which was working with the destroy ed machinery as to just how the first caught, one theory being that, it was caused by sparks from the engine, dropping in the straw, and another being that a bunch of matches had bee.n dropped by one of tho threshers and had gone through tho machine and beeen ignited. The fire caught in the straw at the rear of the machine and tho sepera tor, which was the property of Orlan Zerba, was destroyed and was a total loss, as there was no insurance. The grain wns fully insured, and Mr. Hill w.il suffer but little loss. and left side of his face in the explo sion. Notwithstanding this, he again coupled the engine to the seperator, but this time the tongue pulled out and he was forced to leave "the. ma chine to the flames. Another Field Fire. This morning the grain of A. J. Criglar, about one and one-half miles from town, was fired by a spark from a passing W. & C. R. engine, and for a time there was a lively blaze. For tunately, the fire caught in the stub ble, where the harvesting was com pleted, and burned along the track, being extinguished before any grain was damaged. The wheat is now as dry as tinder, and flashes like powder when a spark drops in it, so special care has to be taken by the farmers and their hands to avoid any chance of fire. Fears rf Rain. It has been looking like rain for the from here. Three men are down with past 24 hours and many who are be-'the disease at the mill. WHEAT SHATTERING. EE Farmers Are Rushing Harvesters to Save Their Grain Before All Falls. Weston, Aug. 14. Tho farmers In this vicinity are complainlug about the grain shattering. Considerable was shattered by the hard wind of several weeks ago, but this wind came too early to effect much of tho grain. Since it ripened, however, it is shattering more than ever known in the history of this country Usu ally grain can bo left standing for several weeks after it ripens and not shatter unless a hard wind storm comes, but with tho light winds of tho past week the wheat is shattering fearfully. Tho loss from, this source will be considerable and farmers are rushing things to get their grain har vested as quickly as possible. SMALLPOX STILL RAGING. E Fourteen Cases In Freewater and Thirteen In Milton All Public Gatherings Forbidden. Freewater, Aug. 14. The smallpox epidemic seems to be spreading in stead of abating. It is now reported that no less than 14 people are down with the disease in this city, while across the lino in Milton are 13 cases. Everything Is being done by the au thorities to keep the disease from spreading, but so far their efforts have proven futile. Just as soon as a new case breaks out or there is any liKeiinoou or one tne place is quar antined but tho quarentine regula tions are so often broken that It is impossible to tell where the disease will next be spread to. The last place to be quarantined is the Olinger mill one and a half miles up the river ANENT THE POWER PLANT. at An-Power Milton People Disappointed nouncement of No Electric Plant. The announcement made by H, Mellmann, president of the Washing ton & Oregon Electric Railway, Light and Power Company, that no power plant would be established there, has caused considerable dissatisfaction among the residents of the place When it was announced that the Romo-Mellmann electric railroad would pass through the town and the promoters of the company an A PIONEER MERCHANT Brlght'e Disease and .

Apparently the owners thought the' company would have to have the site and would pay any price to get it. Consequently, when the owner of the land where the plant was to be established, was interviewed, he asked C000 for the ground desired. This was more than the company would pay and now the Milton people are "sore" because It Is announced that tho power plants will not be established there and will instead be placed ono on tho Tauchet, near Dayton, and tho other on the Tukanon, near Marengo. The company only wanted a strip along the river 15 feet wldo and mile long, but it refused to pay tho high price asked. Now Milton will not only lose tho power plant, but may be left off the line of tho railroad entirely. Tho town and property holders ap parently do not consider that by es tablishing the, power plant there It would advance tho prlco of tho land and property In the town and coun try. They seem to want tho "whole hog" or none, and are liable to get. UUI117, Mall Tube Service. Washington, D, 0., Aug. 14. Thio was the last day for receiving bids for the installation of the pneumatic tube mail service in New York, Ch cago, Boston, St. Louis, Philadelphia and other cities in which the estab lishment or renewal was authorized by congress at the last Besslon. It is probable that the result of tho bids will be announced during the coming week. In arranging the bids caro was taken by the postofflce department to prevent any further combination among contractors to exact exorbitant prices. For the service recently or dered discontinued In New York City the government was charged some thing like $C0,000 a mile, in addition to paying part of the cost for trans mitting the mails. Under tho new call for proposals the limit was placed at ?17,000 per mile per annum. Seventh Texas District. Galveston, Texas, Aug. 14.
