BLAZE AT THE
SANITORIUM
SmoUering: Fire Discovered
in Wall Caused by a f
Gas Burner'
DISCOVERED BY NIGHT NURSE
WHO TURNED IN ALARM AND
PERFORMED SO COOLLY THAT
ALL EXCITEMENT WAS ALLAY
ED DAMAGE SLIGHT. ' '
' (From Saturday's Dally.) -.
While the balloting was going on at
the State House last night and the In
terest of the population of the Capital
City was centered in the election of an
United States Senator, a fire alarm
sounded and a chill went through the
few people remaining on the - streets,
for it was thought by some that the
alarm came from the Capitol, and all
knew that in the event of a conflagra
tion there, hundreds of lives would be
sacrificed. . '
The streets were 'almost deserted
when the calliope sounded its ominous
wall at 10:45 o'clock.' but the few re
maining up followed the fire engine in
its mad course down High street and
u State. :...?' v
When the engine turned up ' State
street- toward the Capitol it began to
appear as if the first fears were' to be
realized. Upon reaching Winter street
the fire boys turned to the right and
brought up in front . of the ? Florence
rSanltarlum. - . 'c-'r
The building, was quickly entered by
the firemen, some carrying upon their
backs the Babt'bck fire extinguishers,
prepared to cope with any emergency.
Smoke was readily detected in the up
per rooms, but no fire could be seen.
One of the walls of the operating room
on the second floor was found to be hot
and discolored, and when an opening
was made the smoke poured Out In a
cloud and the lath and joists were found
a mass of fire which was extinguished
before eating Its way through. ' ..
Smoke: was detected about. 10:30 by
Mrs. L. M. Smith, the night nurse, and
the inmates aroused. The (ire origin
ated from a gas burner In the operat
ing room which stood, but a few inches
from the wall and which was used for
the purpose oi heating w-ater for ster
ilization punjoses. The plaster became
heated to such an extent that the wood-
Lwork was ignited and only for the
timely discovery a disastrous and per
haps fatal conflagration would probab
ly have resulted. The Sanitarium was
filled with inmates,. but the order. was
perfect. The nurses had attached , a
hose to the standing pipe and were
ready to do their duty when the lire'
men arrived upon the scene. Each one
stood at tier post and not the least ex
citement was manifested by any, and
they are certainly entitle to credit for
their coolness and courage at such . a
time. - "-I - -' .. . ' '
The real damage Is but little, prob
ably not more than ten or fifteen dol
lars, and. this seems' trifling when one
thinks what the result might have
been. "-The firemen, too, are worthy of
honorable mention, for pnejof be best
runs was made In the. history of the
department and the Jboys acted admir
ably, taking as much care as possible
not to ma Re unnecessary noise that
might have' a tendency to excite the
patients. I
A FAR REACH
I - ;
AND A BIG JUMP FROM FACTS TO
STATEMENTS IN
HEADLINES.
(From Sunday's Daily).
The joint committee to investigate
the manner of c.Tnductlng the office of
the State Land Agect made its report
to the two nouses or. the Legislature on
the last day of the session and cpj-ies
of the report were given to the news
papers." . ( . '
In the first place, the report does not
conform to the evidence in the case, it
goes ahead and charges things that
were not proven by the evidence and
that are contrary to the facts, and It
Jumps at conclusions that were not Tn
evidence at all, evidently with a desire
to Injure some one, and to make politi
cal capital. ( 1
In the case of the Statesman, the man
In the office who wrote the headlines
for the article containing the report, in
the great rush of his work Incident to
the closing hours of the ' Legislature,
put things in the 'heading that were
not Justified even by . the report made
by the joint committee, so that there
was a far. reach and a big jump be
tween the! facts in the case and 'the
headlines appearing. In the Statesman,
leaving the mind of the casual reader
likely to do Injustice. .
- The matter has assumed sufficient
importance to justify a further exam
ination of j the testimony upon which
the report' was based, or ought to have
been based, and the Statesman will take
occasion to refer later In j more extens
ive review! to the case and to the testi
mony offered and the conclusions of

INTERVIEWS
WITH PEOPLE
Farmers Feel That Fall Grain
: Has Been Damaged
by Frost
BUT THE EXACT EXTENT CANNOT
AS YET BE DETERMINED SOME
FEARS .ENTERTAINED THAT
PRESENT WARM WEATHER IS A
MENACE TO FRUIT.
(From Sunday Daily).
Quite a large number of farmers were
in the city yesterday, but all were busy
talking politics and rehearsing the
Senatorial contest. However, they
managed to find time for a few words
regarding crops, and it was learned
that in the hastily formed judgment of
those Interviewed, some damage was
really done to the growing wheat, but
It Is too early yet to tell how serious It
will be. Some fears were expressed
that the present warm weather, if con
tinued kng.;''would Injure fruit trees by
starting thi buds and then turning
cold. ' Thii is the critical period for
tnis years crop oi rruit in ine w wam-

Orchards in Good Condition.
R. D. Teter and 8. Reynolds, prosper
ous farmer and fruit growers of Rose-
dale, were in the city yesterday after
noon for a half-holiday, after a busy
week On their farms and in their orch
ards. , They say the orchards were
never in better condition than now and
that the trees have stood the winter
well, no buds having as yet appeared.
Nearly" all of the prune men are busy
trimming up their trees and otherwise
clearing the orchards. They are all so
well pleased with ' the result of last
year's work that they have taken new
courage and many are setting out new
trees, while a few are preparing to erect
new dryers to facilitate the handling of
this year's f crop. Of those who are
preparing to put up new dryers are A.
Biinston, A.;T. Blackburn and Wm. Me
Gilchrist. Mr. Reynolds, who already
has a fine orchard, has purchased 1200
trees of one of the Salem nursery com
panies and will set twelve acres more
to prunes. -fThis will give him one of
the largest Orchards in that section.

F. M. Carter, a druggist of Yaquina
City,' was "In Salem yesterday, having
been brought jdown to the Capital by
the fierce political contest inprogress.
Mr. Carter first learned of the bill pro
viding for a summer normal at New
port having been killed, on 'reaching
this city, and was very much chagrined,
saying that j the people of his section
were a 'unit in demanding the passage

try is in a. very prosperous condition.
and with the new industries opening
up, the future is very bright. The
hatchery on the Big Elk river last year
turned 600,000 young salmon loose Into
the river and this year they expect 10,-
000,000 to be jlased to grow and be
caught again.
Mr. Carter said that Yaqulna Bay
would beat the world producing fine
oysters, and he looks for rapid develop

COLLECTING TIffi TAXES
SHERIFF COLBATH ND DEPU
TIES LAUNCHED OUT UPON
THEIR LABORS.
Although yesterday was observed by
all the state officials as a noa -judicial
day in honor of Washington's birthday,
which fell on Sunday, but the law pro
vides that, n a case of that; kind, it
shall be operative upon the following
uay. it w:s not so in the sher'it s Out.
for Shen;f Colbath an.l his lepuu3, J.
L Skipton and Fred Palmer, were
kept upon the keen jump all day Inci
dent to the opening of the 1902 jtax rolls,
and the day was obFerved Iri a most
heroic nijnir by these officials.
There was a steady stream of tax
payers all day from, the operfing hour
of the morning until the eloping hour
of the evening. . In all about! 175 re
ceipts were issued during the day, and
the sum collected will amount to in the
neighborhood of $10,000, a record
breaker for the first day, and slill there
was no complaint or uneasy ior impa
tient jostling or jamming, as this dis
comfiture has been entirely obviated
by the new desk lattice-work and an
iron railing so placed In front of the
counter as to permit of only one at a
time securing a position at the open
ing in the wicket. .
AS Is usually the case, .since the new
law came Into effect, there was a great
rush yesterday morning in order to be
the first to pay their taxes on the new
rolls, but In this, as was the case last
year. Judge Geo. IL Burnett was hon
ored with that distinction and the rUne
others following him In the order nam
ed, follows: Charles Lembcke, Jacob
