FIRE AT i BEAVERTON LOSS ESTIMATED AT SI.OOO. I Caused by a Defective Ftoe M Is Supposed-Bucket Brigade Does Splendid Work. fThe largest and most destrucitve fire ever known in the history of Beaverton occurred in that place last Saturday morning at about 10 o'clock in the building known as the Hamilton block, next to the Southern Pacific railway tracks. . The fire was discovered by children of Joseph Specht, and the cause of the blaze is at tributed to a defective flue. The building vas owned by Earl Fisher and was uninsured. He estimates his loss close to $1,000. It is fortunate that no wind was blowing, as the build ing was very old and dry and burned rapidly, and had there been a brisk breeze the flames would undoubted have spread to other buildings. As it was, ev erything was saved, thanks to the efficient work of the bucket brigade, which carried water from nearby wells, and by the use of wet blankets and salt suc- ceeded in saving the store of D, T. Hedge, the firemen pushing in the burning walls adjoining his building. Mr. Hedges car ried out all of his stock, counters and showcases, still he suffered considerable damage from break age and water. The fire lasted two hours in spite of the hard work of the bucket brigade. whose fire-fightintt qualities were fully tested and highly commend ed by all. This structure was an old land mark and its history if written would make interesting reading. Whether it will be rebuilt has not been definitely settled, but its removal at this time has cer tainly been a benefit to Beaver ton. The building was occupied by Joe Specht and family, Chas. Zabe, and Stroud & Donaline. Mrs. S. L. Shipley Dead. Mrs. Susan L. Shipley, wife of M. H. Shipley of Forest Grove, died in that city March Cth, of heart disease.

Have you not many times judg ed a town by its railroad station? asks a writer in The Delineator for February. Dump heaps, scum-covered pools of water, dingy warehouses, poorly paved streets, the back yards of Shantytown how often these pictures form the travel er's only recollection of a city or a town 7 So-and-so: on yes, I passed through there once wretched town, from what saw of it!" Have you not heard this scathing judgment pronounc ed scores of times? How differ ent would have been the travel er s impressions if he nad lound himself entering the town through a well-lighted -iaduct and emerging into a station where blossoming plants and grass plots occupied every avai able bit of ground!" A great many of our railroads are doing splendid work in mak ing their stations and the grounds around them beautiful. Where the architecture of the country distinctive in character, the station is of ten built to conform with that style. Some railroads maintain greenhouses and nur series to suddIv their station parks with plants and shrubs, For, even if it is not expedient to build a new station, much may be done by . utilizing the waste spaces and the unused corners for flower beds and green grass.

Wm. McMURRAY, " General Passenger Agent. New Cruise Ordered. A number of the taxpayers from the northwestern part of this county have been before the commissioners' court with com plaints concerning alleged exces sive assessments on timber lands. The estimates made by the cruis ers for the county appear to have been very erraneous, in many in stances. One tract next Buxton was reported to have a lot of timber when, in fact, it had been logged three times. Several oth ers were credited with heavy timber when they have no tim ber at all. A proposition was made that the county recruise that timber district, and that if the new cruise tallies with the old one, the owners will pay the expense, and. if not, the county to pay the bill and allow a cor responding rebate on current tax ation. The court has decided to accept the proposition. Holsiein Cow for Sale. Good Holstein cow, in milk, for sale. Inquire at my home north of depot Jacob Asthbahr; Carpet Weaver.

TOLD HER TO SUICIDE FORMER HILLSBORO CIRL Applies for Divorce Because Her Husband Tells Her lo Take Poison While Sick. ? An Oregon City dispatch says that Mrs. Grace Chapman, wel known here a Mis3 Grace Rob inson, a former Hillsboro schoo teacher, has filed suit for divorce against E. C. Chapman, a well- known Clackamas man, to whom she was married one year ago. She charges him with cruel treat ment and says voile she was sick in body and mind he advis ed her to end her life with poi son, and declined to provide med ical attendance for her. Chap man is also accused of makimr a fraudulent transfer of property worth $6500 to A. Mather, of Clackamas, and she asks that this deed be set aside and that she be given her lawful interest in the property, stating that Chapman had $G000 in addition to the land deeded. Mrs. Chap man, who was Miss Grace Robin son, a schoolteacher, gays that she signed the deed to Mather when she was incapable of un derstandingjieract Colonist Rales.

Y., of recent date says: Wm. Johnson, who lives near Berry ville, owned a valuable cow up to the other morning early, when he went into the barnyard to get two gallons of kerosene oil which had been left there the night be fore. The pail that had held the liquid was there all right, but the oil had disappeared, a fact which caused Johnson some perplexity. Nobody seemed to know anthing about the kerosene, and the mystery was getting thicker when Johnson's attention was diverted by the news that his best cow was sick. Sure enough, there was gentle-eyed bossy, more than usu ally plump, and seemingly breath ing her last It was dark in that corner of the barn, and Johnson lit a match. The blazing match was in his fingers when bossy drew in a long and agonized breath. Johnson was amazed to see a circle of fire about the cow's head, and then a long stream of flame disappear down the ani mal's throat In a second there was an ex plosion that hurled Johnson to another corner of the barn. When he came to bos?y was rep resented by a nice hat rack or nament in the form tf a pair of horns. Morning nie. except a smell of kerosene.

The Austrian Postal Savings Bank celebrated last month the twenty-fifth anniversary of its establishment. The occasion was made use of for reviews of its work, which, as in the case of almost all other government sav ings banks, wore highly lauda tory. The bank has now over 2,000, 000 dejiositors, with deposits reaching a total of $15,000,000. Austria is a poor country, and the figures of the bank's busi ness do not. therefore, compare in magnitude with those, for ex ample, of the British postal sav ings bank. But for some of the services rendered the Austrian bank is entitled to distinction. It has established a checking department, which last year han dled 46,000,000 transactions, with a turnover of $4,500,000,000. Of these transactions 7,000.000, re presenting $2. 055, (KM), 000, ' were settled by simple debit and credit entries in the accounts without the handling of money. The bank ako acts as an agency for the investment of its depositors' funds in safe securities, includ ing foreign government bonds. Most novel of all, however, is its service to the state in facilitat ing the collection . and payment of government money and in aid- ing the financial operations of the exchequer. The fact that the postal bank' has develojxMl a checking de partment is due no doubt entire ly to the poor service rendered by the private banks of the coun try in this respect. In a country like the United States, with its immense development of credit banking, the government would have' no Held for such operations. This fact, however.- aorvm nnlv to emphasize the further fnct'P- m- muraday that there is, in our own country an actual lack of proper facilities for the small savings accounts of workingmen and of other people located in rural districts. Right here an American postal savings bank would have its most impor tant and probably its sole field of operations. It is significant that the most enlightened of our bankers be- ieve that a postal savings bank would be a positive benefit to pri vate banking institutions, and not in any sense a competitor with them.

Editor Independent: Here I am safe and sound in the big, bustling, busy city of New York, after a pleasant trip not a thing to mar the journey. Left Portland at 6 p. m. Saturday evening. Febru ary 29th. Woke up Sunday morn ing to find we were passing through lots of snow. Reached La Grande at 7 a. m., snow near ly all gone just a little on the mountain tops. , Traveled on the Oregon Short Line to Omaha, where we changed cars to the Great Western for Chicago, thence to the Michigan Central for New York. It was clear, fine and sunny the whole distance. There was snow on the ground practically all the way from Omaha to New York, though not deep and not a bit cold. The Hudson river, by which we traveled for miles, was frozen over. People were sleigh ing, skating and walking on its icy surface. I noticed some small boats with Bails which I was told were on runners, like a sleigh, and they flew over the ice with the speed of the wind, I think they call them ice boats.
