Arm y Votes to Suspend A p ­
peals to C on gress.
Toledo. O., Sept. 8.—Not for three
years will the Grand Arm y of the
Republic ask congress for further re­
lief measures. It appeared to be the
consensus of opinion of the leaders
that too much ham m ering for pension
bills and relief m easures m ight soon
create an undignified im pression in
the minds of congressm en and reflect
discredit on the civil war veterans at
the time in their lives when they
would need the m ost assistance at the
hands of the nation they helped to
save.
A nother way will be sought by the
veterans to get before congress those
bits of legislation which they feel can­
not wait. The attention of the G. A.
R. delegates was called by Kate
Brownless Sherwood to the status of
the pending widows’ pension bill, in
which at present it is required that
applicants shall have been m arried a
num ber of years prior to the present
date. She asks that the bill may be
altered to allow the eligibility of
those who m arry up to the date of
the passage of the bill and th at the
m atter may be placed in the hands of
the pension agents. T he same plan
may be used with regard to the
am endm ent to the service pension
bill.
At the wish of General I. R. S her­
wood his dollar-a-day pension bill
was not brought up for consideration,
and a resolution asking congress to
pay ex-prisoners of war $2 a day pen­
sion was laid over.
A fter the installation of the newly
elected national officers, the G. A. R.
delegates decided upon Salt Lake
City as the next m eeting place by a
vote of 461 to 104 for W ashington.
A fter Salt Lake City had been chosen
for the encam pm ent, Vice-Comman-
der-in-Chief S cott notified the en­
cam pm ent th at A tlanta would be in
the ¿e ld for 1910.

W allowa.—T rains will be running
on regular schedule into this city on
Septem ber 20. Such is the announce­
ment made by H. H. W eatherspoon,
agent for the O. R. & N. at Elgin,
who received the inform ation from the
leadquarters of the com pany last week
and such are the instructions received
by E ngineer B randon, of th e con­
struction departm ent.
Great progress has been m ade by
the tracklaying crew the past few
weeks, and the road has em erged from
the W allowa canyon and entered the
W allowa valley.
F o r m onths the
road has been building th rough a
winding canyon, betw een crags, along
a picturesque m ountain stream that
will render it one of the m ost scenic-
bits of road in the state.
P rogress naturally has been slow,
for nearly all the rails have been ¿ i d
on curves and had to be bent. Many
bridges, culverts and trestles have
been necessary, and th e roadbed has
needed much repair. F o r m ore than
tw enty miles this work has been fol­
lowed until the track reached th e val
ley.

Albany.—A lbany has begun a sys­
tem atic effort to secure the extension
of the Corvallis & E astern railroad
into E astern Oregon. At a m eeting
of the A lbany Commercial /Club last
week the m atter was discussed and a
com m ittee was appointed consisting
of B. I Dasent, Dr. M. H. Ellis, W. J.
Cuick, F. M. French, and Dr. W. H.
Davis, to confer with M anager J. P.
O ’Brien, of the Southern Pacific lines,
in an effort to have him use his in ­
fluence with Mr, H arrim an for the
extension of the Corvallis & E astern.
A statem ent will be prepared show ­
ing the advantages of this extension
and o th er parts of the state in ter­
ested in the extension of this line will
be asked to co-operate in the m ove­
ment. T he Corvallis & E astern now
extends 54 miles east of Albany, well
up in the Cascade m ountains. At the
club m eeting when this action was
taken a com m ittee consisting of B. I.
Dasent, H. H. H ew itt and C. H.
Stew art, was nam ed to confer with
M ajor J. F. M clndoe, of the United
States engineer corps, regarding the
im provem ent of the upper W illam ette.

Rawhide, Nev., Sept. 7.—A fire that
started F riday in Dr. G arner’s office,
i veritable firetrap, spread with lig h t­
ning-like rapidity and, despite the vig­
orous efforts of the fire departm ent
and 500 m iner volunteers, eight
blocks, com prising all the business
section of the town, were a m ass of
flames. T he fire-fighters soon discov­
ered th eir efforts w ere of no avail
against the fire, so they began dyna­
m iting adjacent buildings. O ver a
ton and a half of dynam ite was used.
At 11 o’clock the total area was a
m ass pf ashes and sm oldering embers.
Am ong the first buildings to go was
Collins’ hardw are store, which con­
tained tw o tons of dynam ite, which
exploded with terrific force, hurling
burning planks and boards a great
distance and setting fire to num erous
buildings sim ultaneously. T his ca­
tastrophe led the firemen to fight the
flames with dynam ite, which prom pt
action saved the outlying portions of
the town. A stro n g wind was blow­
ing, which swept the flames south­
ward across Rawhide avenue and east
across Nevada street.
T h e buildings destroyed will alone
result in a financial loss of $750.000,
with no insurance. T he contents of
the buildings are a com plete loss and
will swell the total to considerable
more. Many people were slightly in­
jured by flying debris, but none are
reported seriously hurt.
M any acts of heroism were enacted
and were it not for the cool-headed
ones am ong the fire-fighters several
fatalities would have resulted. F ren ­
zied men, whose fortunes were going
up in flame, rushed m adly forw ard in
their attem pts to save their belong­
ings, and would have perished had
not restraining hands detained them.
