furniture and hardware store in the
Ladow block, on Court street, was
damaged to the extent of several hun

The fire started in the rear of the
building, and it was first noticed by
Will Hessian and Clarence Adams,
who were passing. They broke in the
front door while others turned in an
alarm. The fire was found in the
rear of the room and had caught from
the stove.
Within a short time the central fire
companies arrived on the scene and
the blaze was brought under control.
However, it was some time before the
fire was all extinguished, and during
that time considerable damage was
done by water to the stock in the
rear of the store. The goods In the
front part were not Injured.
Loss Fully Covered.
W. W. Bradley, owner of the store,
was In Portland at the time of the
fire and has not yet returned. In his
absence Mr. Martin, clerk for Mr.
Bradley, refused to place an estimate
on the loss to the stock, but said it
was fully covered by Insurance.
Comparatively little damage was

Yet as to Office of Industrial Agent.
General Freight Ai-ent R. B. Mil

this morning, had not yet definitely
decided as to what to do In the mat
ter of the office of industrial agent,
so long and ably filled by Col. R. C.
Judson, deceased.
Xo successor to Col, Judson has
been selected but the office has not
been abandoned as yet, the company
simply having taken no action in the
matter. Mr. Miller expressed great
satisfaction with the excellent results
achieved by Col. Judson as Industrial
agent, and hoped that the territory
which enjoyed Col. Judson's presence
and co-operation had Appreciated his
work.
"The freight department of the O.
R. & X. is deeply interested in the in
dustrial development of the north
west," said Mr. Miller, "and will do all
in its power to make every acre pro
duce the highest limit of valuable
crops."

Effort to Keep Paving Cost Within the
$10,000 Limit.
Xegotlations are still on between
the members of the city council and
the representatives of the Warren
Construction company, and efforts are
being made to have the city's portion
of the expense of paving reduced, so
as to be within the $10,000 limit of
warrant indebtedness. Though noth
ing definite has yet been accomplish
ed. It is believed this can be done. If
no other way presents Itself It Is sug
gested that the paving district be cut
down so as to bring the cost of pav
ing the Intersections within the $10,
000 limit.
Mayor Fee stated this afternoon
that he believed the Warren company
would do the work on the district
originally proposed at a cost of only
$10,000 to the city. Such a proposi
tion he declares was made by the
company's representative after the
council meeting the other night.
