Electric Road to Ncstucca.
Beshlents of McMinn vllle are highly
elated over the prospect of an electric
road through that city. What seems
to be the more feasible route to Tilla
mook from Portland would be by the
way of the Goucber road, as the high
est elevation is not more than 1800 feet
above sea level and the route touches
entirely virgin ground as far as any
other railroad is concerned, while
quite a little of the way is well settled
and through comparatively level
country, rich in both timber
and agricultural produots. By way
of Sheridan and the Grand Bonde
reservation is the most easy of access,
as the highest point is but little over a
thousand feet in elevation. This route
would have a competing line as far as
Sheridan, but that is only about IS
miles from McMinnville. Wllamlna,
Dolph, Cloverdale and an exception
ally fertile country In the Big Nestucca
and Three Rivers valleys would be
reached.
Fire at Hotel Gail.
The upper portion of the kitchen of
the Gail Hotel caught fire at about 11
o'clock Wednesday morning and for
a few minutes a serious conflagration
was threatened. The fire department
arrived on the scene promptly, how
ever, and soon had the flames literal ly
drowned out, before the damage had
reached any serious proportions. As
one of the traveling men stopping at
the hotel remarked, "the only loss
worth mentioning was the loss of the
dinner that was in preparation when
the fire broke out" .
Business is Growing.
The Townsend creamery has made
a sure and rapid growth since it was
installed In this city less than a year
ago. E. A. Hamilton, the manager,
finds it necessary to turn out twice the
number of cburnings that be did at
first, and shipments of butter are sent
to all parts of Polk and adjoining
counties. In preparation for the com
log summer season a large oold storage
chest will be built, so that the stock
may be cared for better and more
easily than heretofore.

Cooper of Seattleand County Superin
tendent Churchill of Baker City to

Daring Burglars
Foiled!
The residences of several of our best citizens were
attacked by a band of blacklegs now infesting this
city, in the shape of Flies, Mosquitos, Gnats, Bugs
and Worms. But we are pleased to state that the
blood-thirsty villains were foiled at every house
where we have sold Wheeler screens -the only real
Scientific Screen.
These Screens are really "burglar-proof," for they
are the only Locking Screen; a burglar would have
to cut the wire which would waken any one! Peo
ple who sleep on first floors appreciate them.
Ten-Day Free Trial
On any or every window you wish to screen. No
matter what you thought to buy, or what you
thought to pay, first use the Wheeler ten days free,
and learn all that a Screen must do to satisfy year
after year.
Off thev come after the trial if thev fail in anv wav.
