(¡Tillamook bror.dly speaking agricultural produc tion is governed by the same laws as rule any other production. It seeks the maximum return with the minimum of cost. The fact that the country still has to import some thing is no evidence that our farmers are pursuing an un sound business policy, but simply that their crop has suffered or tliev are en gaged in producing something that pays lietier. When goat skins, silk and other products will pay better than what tliev now produce there will be no need to import them in large quantities. DAIRYMEN’S SUPPLIES?

ClassE ew f owl e mi» prof disc ver n use < trea Seven Blocks of Aberdeen Des- troyed. solid A berdeen , Oct. 16.—Seven blocks, embracing every business house of prominence in Aberdeen, a large num her of dwellings, the Opera‘House, the Central School building, the Edison and Olympus Theaters, the Crescent Hotel, the Pacific Hotel, the new fire depart. meat headquarters, the Council Cham ber, the fire alarm system, every law office, and a hospital—all were included in a district covered by a fire which started this forenoon in the Mack block on Hume street. The loss is estimated at not less than $1,000,900, and the insurance is not more than one-third. 'There were three fatalities from falling walls and suffocation and five other per- sons were slightly injured. All the build ings burned, except the Kaufman block, were of wood, and only vacant areas of land here and there prevented the entire town from being fuel for the flames. The fire started in the Mack block, a three-story structure, occupied by ini- poverished bachelors, who cooked their meals on small oil stoves. In one of these rooms a blaze was seen, blit before the department got to’work the interior was a mass of flames. Two lives were lost in the building. The fire jumped from this building to the fire department headquarters, a new building, with a high tower on G street. Then it crossed the alley and destroyed all the buildings on the south side of Heron street, between F and G, and par tially ruined all those on the north side of Heron. Then it jumped across G street and burned every building on Heron be tween G and 1 and H and K and two blocks north and south, an east wind carrying burning embers in every direc tion. The business men and jieople were pan. ic-stricken and goods were removed from all the buildings destroyed and from every residence within a radius of 20 blocks. The excitement was at the greatest tension, there not being sufficient wagons to get goods away from the fire and the . tact that so little insurance was carried made the condition the more aggrava ting. The lack of sufficient hose and the failure of the big new engine to work properly kept the Fire Department from ' saving property and dynamite was used at several points to stop the progress ot the fire. The arrival of the departments of Mon tesano and Hoquiam and a large corps of volunteers from each place helped materially in getting the fire under con- 1 trol at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The fortunate circumstance of the fire is that 1 no mill property was burned and no one I is thrown out of employment, except I store clerks and this will lie but tempo rarily. heCv rk 0c Agents for the Great Western Sa».
