ELIOT MlSEBURNS
AS FAMILY LOOKS ON
Residents of the valley who uno
pened to be out of doors about 6
o clock r 1 iday evening wete startled
to see a bright rod light Illuminating
the sky for a long distance Hurried
inquiry by telophone disclosed the
fact that the residence of the Lev. T.
L. Kliot, about three miles up the
valley, was on fire aud was fast burn
ing to the ground.
Dr. Kliot, with his sou, W. G.
Kliot, and daughter, Henrietta, came
to this city from Portland Friday af
ternoon and went to their home,
which had been closed for some time.
A tire was started In the large open
lire place and some bedding placed
lu front of It to dry out the moist
ure, and the party went to a small
building on the pluce which they
used as a kitchen and dining room,
tdr supper. There was no screen in
front of the tire, and it is thought
that sparks from the burning wood
new out aud ignited the bedding,
which burned so rapidly that the
house was ablaze liefore it wag no
ticed.
When the fire was discovered Mr,
Kliot endeavored to extiuunish it bv
pulling the burning mass apart, but
the ll-imes had gained such headway
that he was forced to leave the house.
the building turned laoi'lv and was
soon in ashes. The bla.e attracted
the attention of the neighbors in all
directions, but by the time they ar
rived mey were unable to stay the
progress of the fire.
On learning of the disastrous effect
of the tire, E. L. Smith sent a convey
ance lrom this city to bring Mr.
Kliot and the other members of his
family to town. On arriving they
wont 10 mo residence of fjnier
Kami, where some slight burns
which Mr. Kliot had received were
dressed.
The Lev. W. G. Eliot, who was on
his way to Spokane aud had only
stopped off between trains, continued
011 his way to his destination on the
8:10 train.
Later iu the eveuluit Rev. T. L.
Kliot aud his daughter went to the
Mt. Hood Hotel and Saturday morn
ing returned to Poitlnud.
Ihe house which was destroyed was
recently built and was used largely
by the Eliot family as a summer res
idence. The total loss is said to be
about $1,MU0, and the insurance fl.-
uou.
It was the intention of Dr. Kliot to
have held services iu the Unitarian
church, but owiug to the accident he
did not do go.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
BANQUET SATURDAY
The banquet whioh will be siven
by the Commercial Club Saturday.
January (t, is creating considerable
interest among the members aud
friends of the club and the occasion
s being looked forward to with a sood
deal ot pleasurable anticipation. It
will be served In the large dining hall
of the Mt. Hood Hotel with tables
arranged and decorated for the occa
sion, aud tho committee who has the
affair in charge has arranged to have
speakers preseut who will both in
struct and eutertain.
Tom Richardson beads the list. As
most people who read the papers know
Mr. Lichurdsou is secretary of the
I'oitiatKl commercial Uluo and lias
that eloquence of the ever-ready kind
possessed by few. He has the happy
faculty of weaving fact, fancy aud
anecdote together in a way that is
luitli pleasing and convincing.
Judge Cake, the geuial president of
Hid same organization, is known as
olte of the most forceful and inter
esting talkers ou the Lucille coast
and has signified his willingness to
tie present and make an address.
Linaldo M. Hall, the advertising
agent of the O. R. A N. and Southern
Lucille toads, is also one of the men
who will respond. Mr. Hall has made
advertising of localities on his road a
study, aud Hood River has always been
especially favored in the railroad lit
erature. His remarks will prove in
teresting. A. Dennett of Irrigon.vice president
of the Oregon Development League,
has been sent an invitation, and it is
expected that he will be present aud
give a talk.
the banquet is being given to pro
mote the interests of tha club and to
draw its members nearer together in
a social and business way. There is
no time wheu a man feels more kindly
tlisposed toward his neighbor or ac
quaintance than after breaking bread
with him, and the oiub'a Idea in giv
ing the banquet is to promote good
fellowship and unify the Interests of
the members by having a jolly good
time. It is thought that this will be
the best way of removing any traces
of factional feeling that may exist
among the members aud it is hoped
that as many of them as possible will
attend and help do what they can for
the best interests of Hood River.
