THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY, OREGON.
THE RECENT FIRE IN AR
LINGTON. 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.

JAMES W. 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.
