Walla Walla, Nov. 20. About 11:45
last night flro broke out In the Walla
Walla roller mill, located on the Yel
low Hawk, Just eoHt of the city cem
etery, and within half an hour the en
tire structure was a pile of smoulder
Inn "embers, bent and twisted machin
ery and smoking ruins. The struc
ture, a three-story frame building,
was Insured for $7000, but the loss
is estimated at between $20,000 and
$25,000. It wns operated by Coyle &
Campbell, who manufactured the
"Satisfaction" brand of flour, and
when the fire broke out contained
12,000 bunhels of wheat, 10,000 sacks
of barley and 350 barrels of flour, all
of which was a total loss.
The origin of the fire Is a mystery,
Mr. Coyle having put the fires In the
building out with a pall of water pre
vious to rinsing down for the night,
about 9 o'clock. "There wns abso
lutely nothing about the building,"
said Mr. Coyle last night, "to cause the
fire, and the only possible manner In
which It could have originated was
with the aid of someone.

ST GAT ON
FOIl OPEN SHOP IN TACOMA.
ISIg Contractors Seek to Have All the
Builders Sanction Their Action.
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 20. One of
the most Important developments In
the building situation in Tacoma In'
years took place yesterday, when a
conference was held between four
men who are arranging to put up
buildings next year and are now hav
ing plans drawn. As a result of this
conference the four men agreed to
stand squarely for the open shop.
They have agreed that under no
circumstances shall a contract on
these four big buildings be awarded
except on the open shop plan; that Is,
making no distinction between union
and non-union men.
In the construction of the four
buildings It has been agreed that the
open shop shall be a distinct part of
the contracts. The contractors will
be required to agree to this clause.
Along the same lines these men are
making an energetic effort to get
every man In Tacoma who Is putting
up a building to sign an agreement to
the same proposition, to give no fur
ther work to contractors except those
that agree that henceforth they city
shall be on the open shop basis.

The change In the time schedule of !
the passenger trains on the O. n. &
N.. which had been promised to go
Into effect November IS, has not taken
place as yet, but It is probable that
the new time card will he announced
in a few days. The delay is attribut
ed to the absence of the head officials
of the passenger department during
the past two weeks, who had hern ex
pected here and at Wnlla Walla to
confer with the agents of the com
pany. The passenger train leaving Walla
Walla nt 7 a. m. to connect with pas
senger train No. 1 at R:45 a. m., Is to
leave that point about an hour later
to conform to a similar change of
time made In the schedule of the
through trains going west. It was an
nounced some time ago that No. 1
would arrive here about an hour or
nn hour nnd a half later than Its for
mer schedule time. It having been de
rided to mnke this change on account
of the slow condition of the tracks
during the winter season. The pro
posed schedule, however, has not been
announced as yet.
It Is rumored that n local train
from Biggs Is to be run through via
Pendleton to Walla Walla, doing the
local work on the main line to this
city. This would relieve the through
trains on the main line of the heavy
passenger service, and this arrange
ment would also permit the through
trains of making better time, as no
stops will be made between Umatilla
and Tendleton.
Under the proposed arrangement,
the Pendleton-Spoknne passenger
train which leaves this city at 9 n.
m., will start from here about two
hours later, thus permitting connec
tion with trains from the east and
west on the main line.

All homes where this drea 1 disease
has appeared are rigidly quarantined

probable that there will be no more
than the average number of cases

The first trial of the case took plac
