Respectfully yours, Remember the date, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17 th , at 8 P.M , we give up business Trask House Destroyed by Fire. tracts of Uncle Sam’s domain which was Fire played havoc with the well-known and pictnresque fishing resort at Trask on Sunday afternoon, when Trask house and most of the contents went up in smoke. Some brush across the river was set on fire, but as this endangered a barn close by with about twelve tons of hay in it, several parties went across the river to keep the are under control and protect the barn from catching fire. As they were doing this it was noticed that the roof of Trask house was on fire, so they hurried across the river to lend what assistance they could. Mr. Smith got on the roof with buckets of water, but the fire had obtained a good hold under the roof, where it is supposed it origi naled from the flue, that the water had only the effect of increasing the fire. The bouse burned rapidly, which did not al low of hardly any time to remove the contents. One visitor was in his room resting when the alarm was given, when he made his exit, and as he did so the fire swept through the boose. A few seconds alter that the house was a mass of fire. Some tew things, however, which were near were saved, but most ol the household furniture, including the contents of the post office and telephone were destroyed. The barn across the river then caught fire and burned up The barns near the house were saved, although it took some effort to do so. The placed belonged to Mr. C. H. Smith, who carried an insurance of only $600. The loss will foot up $2,500. Mr. Smith was in the city 011 Tuesday making pre parations to rebuild. The Timber Claims Contest. The Oregonian gave a synopsis of the evidence in the timber claims contest on government lands in Tillamook county i ! on Tuesday, which it says is “one of the most notable contests that hasever been before the land office at Oregon City.” j It will be remembered that after the land had been filed on by a number oi people from Tillamook, the Northern Pacific ( tried to get possession of it by offering I iorest reserve scrip tor the land. Tins I application was rejected by the local and also the general land offices. This was the first victory for lhe citizens who were exercising their rights, alter being called aliens, Irauds, etc., by the railroad com- pany. Then B. E. Watkins tiled a pro test against 14 entries of the batch, and later Charles E. Hays instituted a con- test against 73 of the applicants. After this Hays contested the 14 claims, the hearing oi which was completed last month and a decision is expected about the 24th of this month. The 14 timber applicants included in this bunch were Egbert D., Joseph, Frank, Lydia F., Etta and Sopnie Severance, Flora M Means, James R. Hanis, John E. I little, Horace E. Weston, Frank B Harrington and Walter J. and Alice Smith. The decision in these cases is awaited with a good deal of interest in Tillamook county, lor it will demonstrate whether a number of citizens, having exercised their rights to tile on timber claims, and strictly complying with the law in every particular, without the least thought of fraud or collusion in their transactions, can be deprived of their rights by those who are known to be timber irauds, but are trying to remove the mantle of fraud from themselves and place it upon these applicants, who lielong to the best class 01 citizens in Fillamook county. This is virtually the point at issue and which is to be decided in these 14 contests. It is not surprising that the contestant has introduced a lot of irreleviant evidence to prejudice these cases, with that of those who have turned traitorB and become the tools in the hands of those who have instituted these contests—perhaps ior personal spite and other considerations. But apart from this evidence given soinew Imt fully in the Oregonian, is that of the mtn men themselves, which places quite a diflerent complexion on the case mid shows most conclusively that these 14 entrymen have in no wise circum vented lhe law and fraudulently com bined and confederated to violate it. They are too straight forward in their dealings to do that, riierefore, for tliesa lensons. it is well not to be too hasty in drawing conclusions from only part of the evidence and forming wrong opin ions, and thereby dubbing these parlies ns irauds. Iliey base only done what thousands of other citizens have done in complying with the law in filing on tim ber claims, and to deprive them of their rights lecunse other parties failed in their rffoi ts t«» gobble up every thirg in sight with scrip, or oust them in other ways, would, we believe, be unjust. Every person who take* up timlxr land does so for speculation. They cither manufacture the timlier themselves, log it. hold the timber as an investment or dispose o| it to the highest bidder at the first opportunity. There is nothing wrong about this after they have come into possession of the land and paid the government the stipulated price. It’s theirs, ami no one has a right to interfere in how < r what way they shall do with it. We make this prediction, that the entry men in these cases will w in and it will be decided in their favor. As. no doubt, the other 73 cases will be also. It is not characterized a fraud w hen big railroad corporations gobble up large intended for citizens, but when a tract of land is thrown open and a number of individual citizens make a bee line for the land office and file ahead of these land sharks, then a cry of “ Fraud, fraud !•’ is set up by these corporations to gain their ends. If these 14 cases are frauds, then all those who have pre viously taken up individual timber claims are frauds also, and to deprive them of it would be to deprive them of their legal rights. BEAVER. Beaver is located 17 miles south of Tillamook, and in the center of one, if not, the richest and most productive valleys in the world. It surely is among the richest. Just a small village with four cheese factories. Mr. D. T. Edmunds, of Tillamook, has just put in a store of general merchan dise, and he is represented by Mr. Pater son, of Blaine. Rev. A. M. Ginn has purchased one block in Beaver and the sound of the hammer and saw are heard already, as he is erecting a dwelling house. Alva Finley’s house caught tire on Monday, but was soon put out, with little damage. Another Missourian and family came in last week and went on up to Blaine to locate.
