1 PAGTC STX MEDForcn mail TrnnrxE. MEDKorn. otiEGOX, Friday, .tfxf 2s. mis E The firo lit nn enrly hour tills mor nhiKnliiK which ilit royi?l llio Oregon Rooming limine IjiiIMIiik und thrwo Bhacks at the corner of Front and Third streets, and which for a time threatened to conitnunlcato to neurby dwellings, was nnrioiiliteilly of Incen diary origin and Is lielng Investisat- cd by the authorities and the Insur ance companies In which the rooming house building and itu runner con tentB were insured. The report that a nozzle of tho flro department waa defective and greatly hindered the flroineu -from getting water on Lite flames promptly is er roneous. All the flro department equipment, including tho nozzle over which thero was trouble, were in good condition. The trouble was caused by a lilork of wood about an Inch und a half In diameter being forced Into the hozo nozzle. Thlu block wus no doubt washed into the main pipe during last spring's freshet Hut oven then It only caused a delay of a few minutes In the playing of onu stream, and two other hose streams were played on tho flames all this time. To quell the firo tho depart ment had thrt'e streams lit use. . 1'niliiilily Incendiary The Oregon Rooming House and shacks were owned by Irwin tfuhack, also the furniture on tho huuso which wua recently stored In one of the shacks. The building was a two story fruinu und was originally 'built and used for tho Catholic church. Iuter It was remodeled into a room lug house. When tho flro was first discovered nt 1 a. m. smoko wus seen coming from tho smoko pipe of the kitchen of the building. Tho structure hud not been occupied for Boms time. Tho flumes spread rapidly and the neigh borhood foriblocks around was alarm ed. People In tho dwellings near tire raging flro began to move out tholr furniture. A largo crowd gathered and Ibucket brigades wo,ro fornicd nnd streams of garden hose wero played on tho roofs und sides of the nearest threatened buildings. Tho flumes soon communicated to telephone poles nnd meltod tho charged wires which fell down nnd added much to tho spectacular sceno The melting und falling wires ex tinguished tho lights In tho streets nnd residences In 1ho neighborhood. The flumes lighted up a largo portion of tho city nnd created general alarm and excitement even in thoso sections remoto from the firo. l-'lrn Spectacular If the firemen and police havo any dliect cvlleiKu as to Incendiarism nr. ! us ., '.;;) actually sturted tho t ie they are keeping tho knowledge to themselves. However, they are positive that an Incendiary started the fire. "I feel absolutely certain that the fire was of incendiary ori gin" said Fire t hief l.iiwton today. I'ullce Chief -Kittson also firmly holds to this opinion. One of the destroyed shacks was occupied by a (lieek named Messlnio und he lost nil his furniture und ef fects. The flames also destroyed the woodshed and chicken house of the V, W. Xorman residence. E "The Milvticio," nl I'li'M-nix Oruvo iai niht was all Unit liu hi'fti prom ised. The public had Ihm'ii promised 11 del U'h t t'ul outdiMM perloriDiitK-t of ''Mikado" Willi beautiful snv set ting, elutioriile cost inning, and appro priate lilitintr effects, nil of whirl) were there to the entire hatisfuetioii of the patrons. - We have seen many amateur per formances of opera hut the ".Mikado" last niht easily takes the place of the, smoothest and most professional presentation ever witnessed in south ern Oregon. The east was evenly balanced, and ouch of th5 principal-, took hold of their parts with an niiaty.atiou and understanding that is remarkable. "The three little maids from school" looked the part of I he "Three Little Maids" to perfection. I,cta Childers as Yum-Yum was pretty and grace ful, and snug the furt delightfully. Kdna Isaacs was the real l'eep Ho, and sau'; (he part with spirit and un dcrs'tandiutf. Katliryn Nwem as I'Uti Kiiijf was a dream, und in her several dunces flouted over the stue like thistle down. Mrs. Chandler Kmi in the part of Xnuki-I'oo, was a wandering minstrel loiiij to be remembered. Her inter pretation of the role was a scholarly piere of acting, and showed (hat she uiiderstood exactly what Mr. (iilliert intended the character of Niiuk'.-I'u to be. Fletcher Fish as Ko-Ko finally struck his pi it. Fletcher Una appear ed in a rreat many different roles in the valley, hut lat nijiht his stock went up out of ssijfht. He reminded you of F.d Andrews all the wny through the part, and that is about as liiyh a compliment as we could pay him. His scene with Katishu in the lust act wus down rijrht funny. Adele lira lilt as Katisha wus u,uitc a surprise to her audience us they all know Katisha is a very difficult part to plav, but Miss Hrault went into her part like an old-timer. She has a true enius for comedy, n thing you seldom find in the "entler sex. She also possesses an unusual voice and sang the role with dramatic force. Mr. Sheets as fish Tush held up his end with the balance of the east He read his lines inlcligcntlv, and sang his music very well. (Jeorge An drcWH and W. F. (uisenberry as Poo Mali and Mikado played their parts with professional finish. Airs. An drews as musical director had the or chestra and singers under her con trol during the entire performance. Too much cannot be said of the chorus. They presented ft beautiful picture and sang their music with vol ume and precision and showed that they had been splendidly trained. fleorge Andrews has again demon strated to the people of tho Hogue Hiver valley that he is u musician of experience and capacity, and thor oughly understands stage techniijue in nil its branches. It is hoped (he out-door musicals will become a per manent feature, adding much to the charm of existence in the valley and ill (ieorge Andrews the valley pos sesses a real asset. The I'hoeuix grove, with a little improvement, ios-j sesses all the requirements for a uni que ampilhcater and the enterprising ladies of the Phoenix feed Cross chuptcr deserve the thanks und ap preciation of the community for mak ing possible a delightful entertain ICSfO FOR DISLOYALTY "UPRAISES Robert Kindner, the well known Griffin creek rancher was placed un der arrest last Wednesday afternoon by Sheriff Jennings and has been held ever since at the county Jail without ball. He Is accused with violating the federal war espionage act. United States District Attorney Hancy of Portland, Is Investigating the caso and Kindner will -be held In jail until the federal authorities take direct charge of his cae. It Is claimed that when a war sav- inus stumps soliciting commitee call ed on Kindner this week and asked him to buy stamps, he denounced the government, war savings stamps, liberty bonds, etc. Prosecuting At torney Roberts and Sheriff Jennings were then notified of KIndner's at tack on the government and his ar rest soon followed and the federal authorities were notified.

I'OHTLANI), June 28. Kx-Oov-ernor Oswald West, it is reported, will leave in a few days for Washing ton, I). C, for oversea service for the government. The report has put poli ticians to speculating us to whether this will necessitate his withdrawal as nominee for lnitcd Slates senator or whether the service i snicrely tcni-pornry. 600 CHICKENS After Being Relieved of Or ganic Trouble by Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Oregon, 111. "I took Lydia E. Pink ham'B Vegetable Compound for an or ganic trouble wntcn pulled me down un til I could not put my foot to the floor and ouldcarr.ely do my work, anc as l live on a small farm and raise six hundred chickens every year it made it very hard for me. "I saw the Com pound advertised in our paper, and tried it. It has restored my health so I can do all my work and I am so grateful that I am recommend ing it to my friends." Mrs. D. M. Alters, R. R. 4, Oregon, 111. Onlywomen whohave suffered the tor tures of such troubles and have dragged along from day to day can realize the relief which this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, brought to Mrs. Alters. Women everywhere in Mrs. Alters condition should profit by her recom mendation, and if there are any com plications write Lydia E.
