We stated In last week's Issue that we fiad received a correct report of the fire In Arlington1, wt, s the letter had failed to reach as in time for publication, it would appear in this issue. Several papers published the account of the fire the same week of its occurrence but they were all erroneous, however. This ac count Is from the Globk'b correspondent at Arlington and is as follows: On Tuesday evening, the 10th Inst., Mr. C. A. Shnrte left James W. Smith's 1 aww. where he is employed, between 9' and Iff o'clock p. m. His wite and Miss Nellie France, a young lady friend who was stopping with them, met him on his way home, and the three walked leis urely back to Mr. Short.', residence. after arriving at their home the osnar family dottons were engaged in, and the family and Miss France retired to their respective rooms np stairs and all were soon wrapped in peaceful slum ber. A few minntes before 11 p. in., Mr. Shurte was suddenly aroused from soand sleep by some noise. He jumped from the bed which himself and wife were occupying, ran down stairs aud discovered fire on the stand and floor in the room where they had but recently aeld their devotions, and where he had " Jmt a short time before blown out the liffht He at once rave the alarm of fire, ran to the hydrant in the yard, tamed the water oa and hastened to the front porch where be broke a large glass out with bis foot and turned the water in on the rapidly spreading blaze, mean time shouting fire! fire! as loudly as he could, hoping to arouse bis neighbors to come to his aid. He kept the water tnrned on the stairway to protect the way of eacapfe for the occupants in the npper story, expecting evere moment to see bis wife descending with the chil dren. After some minutes he came to the conclusion that they bad not been awakened. He then dropped the hose and ran to the rear of the house, seized a short ladder and by dint of great exer tion reached the kitchen roof, intending to-bceak through windows and thus reach ft fa loved . ones ; but on getting to tbe openings be found it impossible to get through the roaring flames. He then jumped frouiAe rnof and ran to the front of the house in hopes that be could reach tbe top of the porch and . thus get through the front openings, but to his dismay be found the fire bad got under too strong headway to admit anyone getting in without a force of water were following bitn. As be had heard no cry from the np per room be thought possibly they bad escaped without his knowledge. ' He then ran to his nearest neighbor, Mrs. Daggett's, and there found Mies France, but none of his family bad left tbe burn ing building. He then gave np in dis pair and was powerless to do anything more. By this time the citizens & bad began to gather around the burning structure, and a heavy stream of water was soon turned on which enabled two heroes, 3. A. Hughes and J. L, Chand ler by name, to get In to the second story where they found the mother and two children in the room where the father, another and the youngest child slept, and found the children lying on the floor covered with some bedding while the mother was unprotected, and all were nnconscious. Tbe firemen took them to the open air and it was found that life was extinct; death bad come by suffoca tion. Mr. Shnrte states that he blew out tbe light on retiring, but thinks some fire must have remained on the wick, and this caneed tbe lamp to explode Evidently oil must have been scattered in two of the lower rooms, as no fire could have gained such headway in so short a time. It was not more than ten minutes from -the tfme be discovered the fire until, his, family were beyond help. In so Short a time home, loved ones all that men prize in this world were gone, never to be regained in tbis life. But little of value was saved, and tbe bouse and contents were insured for less than tow-thirds their value. This is recorded one of the worst tragedies Gil liam county has ever known, and Mr, Shurte has tbe deep, heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in which be resides and a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

SMITH Desires to inform the business is running on IUock, Arlington, Oregon; that the flashy, misleading newspaper advertisements and circular letters that are flooding the country have not affected his trade; but on the contrary, sales have been increasing. His many old friends and customers realize that no business man will give away something for nothing. What he loses on the "baits" he will more than doubly make up on the other goods he sells his customers. Look out for snares. One of our greatest statesmen 40 years ago truthfully said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." James W. Smith's immense stock of goods will speak for him. Call and examine the largest stock of goods ever shown in Gilliam county. His stores are loaded from floor to ceiling, and as regards prices he will en deavor to keep in the '"procession." Many of the lines are bought direct from the East in large quantities for cash, which enables him to give his custom ers great inducements to favor him with their patrouage. He sells the Oliver Chilled plows and extras, including the New Departure two and three gangs, also the John Deere plows of all kinds, the Studebaker, Bain and Racine wagons, hacks and bug gies, the Standard, Acme and Mc Cormack mowers, reapers and hay rakes, the latest improved Pitts threshing machinery, the up-to-date old steel-frame headers, Holt Bros.
