JOIN FRUIT COMBINE BIG FIRE LOSS A T B A K E R , OR. Mill and Lumber W orth $200,000 Burn in Few Minutes. Baker, Or.— In 35 minutes Satur­ day afternoon fire consumed over $200,000 when the Baker White Pine Lumber company’s plant at South Baker was burned to the ground. The blaze started at 5:55 o ’clock from sparks from the engine room, carried to the shavings pile. H. J. King, engineer of the com­ pany, saw the fire and tried to fight it with a hose. The flames burst upon him, badly burning his hands and face. He escaped just before the building was a mass of flames. The fire spread rapidly and the fire department was powerless because of low water pres­ sure. Soon the mill, the box factory and the huge pile of lumber were burning and by 6 :30 o’ clock there was nothing but a good-sized bonfire. The planing mill and box factory were valued at $150,000 and the lum­ ber at $50,000. Nearly 100 men are thrown out of work. The plants were covered fully by isurance. Leper Colony Is Temporary. Washington, D. C.— Some conster­ nation and uneasiness has been occas­ ioned by the presence o f lepers at Dia­ mond Point, Wash., and the fear that the Public Health and Marine Hospi­ tal service was to make this not only a permanent establishment but to send lepers there from other states. The feeling became so intense that Senator Jones and the other members of the Washington delegation were appealed to to have the matter investigated. The Washington members were in­ formed by Dr. Blue that the Marine Hospital service was endeavoring to find a place off the coast of California, and as soon as this was located and fitted up as an abiding place for these unfortunates they would be sent to this permanent colony. Roosevelt W ins Libel Suit. Marquette, Mich.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt won his libel suit against George a Newett, who charged the Colonel with drunkenness. The Colo­ nel received damages after the de­ fendant had uttered a retraction and the jury awarded the nominal damages o f 6 cents provided in such cases by the law of Michigan. Each party to the suit will have to pay his own ex­ penses. Judge Flannigan instructed the jurors to bring in a verdict for the paintiff, which they did without leav­ ing their seats. Heir Goes On Plowing. Birmingham, Ala.— Louis F. Downs, a farmer at Rogersville, Ala., has es­ tablished a reputation as the calmest stoic in the business. He was plowing for his modest crop when he received notice that he was one-third heir to an estate in Virginia valued at $30,000,- 000, left by a great uncle, but he clucked to his mule without betraying the least excitement and finished the row before he would discuss the sub­ ject. Downs says he is too busy with Dr. Pierce’ s Pleasant Pellets cure his crop to stop now, but will take up constipation.
