Ia speuking of it the Fruit Trade Journal says thut it "provides for stuudard grading as well hh staudutd packages, and will apply over the eu tire United States. This Is u measure of far greater importance ttiau any thing which has ever been undertaken in the way of legislation Hifectiug spple packing, and thus fur there seems to be little objection to it ou the part of growers or shippers, while all operators are aaturally in favor It. It will come before tbe full eestlou of Congress, and while it cnu hurdly become operative during the coming apple sseasou there is every prospect of its passage , if strongly supported by thono iuterested, aud it will be in effect next year" The bill reads as follows : Section 1.

The tire originated over the old hall way used as tbe fish de partment about midway between the upper stagiug aud the tin roof, where 52 crates of matches and other light material lu crates sod - boxes were stored. Tho probable cause of igni tiou was spontaneous combustion due to the extreme lieut. Saturday, says tho Chronicle, Mr. Hunt and several employes were arranging to move these materials to h tufer place, as he was nf raid of a Ore because of their close proximity to tbe roof, being a dHugerotiB place during hot weather. Harry Tuylor aud one of the police men, with several other men were standing ou Second street talking Sunday morning at one o'clock, when an explosion occured. They rushed up the street, thinking it was a gun shot they heard, when they saw the blaze. Policeman John Crate at once turned iu the alarm and it was but a short time uutill the Are department responded to the call with three hose carts end tho book and ladder wagon. Three stroama of water played In cessantly on and iu the building tor over two hours, it was a very stub born Are because of the blaze being in between tbe tin root and the cell ing. For a time citizens feared tbe opera house was in danger because that building was filled with smoke, but that was caused by smoke entering hy tbe ventilators. A double wall Is lc cated between the grocery store and the Vo,,t, so there was no real danger existing. There was some alarm felt for Mis. liurgrat's millinery stoie, but there, too, Is a Ore wall between the two buildings, and tbe lire was kept well under control. No damage was doue by fits in the millinery store, aud the only damage tbe stock here sustained was doue by smoke and water. the grooery building is gutted by lire, smoke and water uad will require a ereat deal of wotk in getting into shape again. The firm will be located teniDorurilv in other quatters that will be secured at ouce. GET $12,000 FROM WASCO OUR SHARE OF PUBLIC MONEYS Commission Completes Its Work of Dividing Funds After Much Tedioni Work. After considerable tedious work. County Judge Derby, of Hood River and County Judge Lake, of Wasco, as commissioners, have agreed oo the prcpoition of moneys which the new county is entilted to nnder tbe law providing for the creation of new county. Chas. 11. Sproat, of Hood River, was named as one ot tbe com missioners iu tbe bill creating the oounty to serve in (bis capacity, bat refused to act and Mr. Derby wee appointed by tbe governor to serre in bis place. Tbe settlement waa finally agreed upon last Wednesday and will give tbe new oounty a sum from the vari ous funds in tbe neighborhood of 112,000. The agreement to the amount which Hood River oounty le to receive was reached without any friction and tbe lelattoas of the com missioners were amicable throughout the transaction. As ite share of tbe county oouit bouse propeity tbe new county will receive 12,014 iq cash and also about 12,000 in cash from tbe general fund. These amounts will constitute tbe general fund of tbe new county and will become available immediately. From tbe general road fund It will receive ,12,130.80, and t2.334.40 will be turned over to Hood River oounty from Wasco, from tbe oounty school fund. It will also receive 1334.31 from the library fand ;.tl9.00 from the lastltute fund; 123.00 from tbe indem nity fund and 12,103.34 from tbe apeo ial school tax fond. There is still unpaid on the 1907 tax roll an amount approximating 110,000 wbiob when collected will probably give tbe new oounty 13,000 to be added to its general fund. In the settlement tbe state tax due from tbe new oounty wai deducted aud paid over to tbe state. It waa tbe duty also.ot the commis sioners to pass judgment on several minor transactions in settling op the attain ot the two counties that are not ot any particular interest and would require laborious details. It ia expected that tbe settlement will prove eatlstaotory to tbe people of both counties as it is to the com missioners, one of whom stated at tbe conclusion of tbe work: "You may say for as that tbe settlement has been made to the satisfaction of the commission appointed by the gov ernor to do the work, and that though tbe work progressed slowly, owing to the necessity of tiaolng op aooounts in the records, when completed it represents the due quota of both Hood Kiver and Wasco oounty as nearly as we could get at it. We trust the work will prove satisfactory, as we were particularly careful that each oounty should reoeive its just proportion of the funds." Tbe books were in tbe safe and tbe bills which were made out were saved. Tbe fire fiend seems to have liking for this store, for about two years ago a blaze started In about the same place when conducted by Bonn Bros. Tbe tire department worked like Trojans, and are deserving ot great praise for their work. All banda were steady and beads oool iu handling the bose, usiug good judgement in their work throughout. Tbe fire broke out afresh at 3:30 making tbe brightest light any time during tbe blaze. Tbe stock carried by Hunt & Rob erts amounted to $21,000, and tbe loss was total. The amount of insurance curried cannot be told aoourately un til Mi. Hunt oan set at his books. Mewton Clark Resigns Ofllce. Newton Clarke, for many years a resident ot Hood River and father of W. L. Culrk, tendered his resignation as Urand Reoorder ot the A. O. U. W. this week. Mr. Clark ,whoas inter viewed by tbe Telegram Monday in regard to bis resignation said: "I am getting too old to serve longer," Mr. Clarke said today. "1 am in my 71st year and I shall retire from active life for tbe remainder of my years. I have been grand reoord er for 20 years now, and I think I have a right to rest. "Tbe order is in the most prosper ous condition of its existenoe, though there was a time when it had about double tbe number of its present membership, which is a little ever 4000. A few years ago, we were obliged to raise tbe rates to provide a surplus to draw upon as our order advanced in years, and that raise had tbe effect of driving a number ot our young members out. Tbe old ones stayed, however, and we are getting a good proportion of young ones in at present, though little work has been oue in soliciting. We have more than 100,000 on band and we meet our death losses instantly." Mr. A. Holt, ot arrived last week her daughter, Mr. Sioux City, Iowa, and visiting with R. W. Pratt.
