$21,000 FIRE
AT THE DALLES
A disastious lire ocoured at Hun; &
Roberts1 store Sunday morning at
1 :30 o'clock. 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.

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."
