useful can be found for everyone.
At a meeting yesterday afternoon,

Arthur Balfour Coming
On Special Mission!
London, April 11. Foreign Secre
tary Arthur J. Balfour is about to
leave for Washington on "a special
mission," according to official an
nouncement today.
During his absence Lord Cecil will
act as foreign secretary.
Lord Robert Cecil's duties as minis
ter of blockade will be handled by one
of his subordinates during Baltour s
absence.
Arthur J. Balfour was formerly first
lord of the admiralty iu the old coali
tion ministry in England and it was
his support, with that of Andrew Bo
nar Law, another unionist, that made
the Lloyd-George ministry possible.
England could hardly have selected a
man of greater knowledge of war con
ditions and of war organization than
Balfour for such a mission.
The decision of the supreme court

which Judge tralloway was attirmeri at

suit, according to city attorney, B. W.
Macy. Tho decision declares void the
assessment levied on the property of
plaintiffs and cancels the lien of the
city for the cost of the paving. Mr.
Macy also says those owning property
abutting the improvement who were not
parties to the suit are not affected. The
suit was originally brought to test the
legality of the procedure followed by
the council in making the improvement.
The decision, Air. Macy says, Uoos not

even that of the property owners abut

Cause of Fire Unknown.
At 9 o'clock the whole corner was
a mass of charred and blackened ruins.
So effectively was the work of the de
partment doue that scarcely any steam
was arising anywhere. This is the sec
ond fire that Chief Hutton has attended
at this place and ho declared it was a
hard thing to fight, on account of the
rear portion and the Becond story being
cut into small rooms. When it did
catch fire, the blaze spread with start
ling rapidity.
Although it is not known just how
the fire started, it is believed it must
have been bnrninp n. considerable time
bet ore being discovered. This tune is
! estimated to be between 15 minutes and
j one-half hour. It is said the blaze may

of the back rooms of either the millin
ery store, the pool hall, or tho barber
shop, or from defective wiring. So com
plete is the destruction, however, that
little evidence was left as to where or
how it started.
It appears from the stories of those
who arrived cn the scene first that the
fire was centered in the vicinity of the
pool hall, the barber shop ami the mil
linery store. It is stated there were

The property on which the various
small frame buildings were located be
longs to the Squire rariar estate and;
the buildings are a. total loss. On ac
count of the fact that it has been im
possible to check up the losses, a close 1
estimate of the total loss can not be'
made as yet, although it is not believed
it will run much beyond $12,000. This'
is a large estimate and it may be con-1
siderably less. j
The loss on the buildings will amount
to between $2.5(10 and $3,000, on which i
there is very little insurance. No plans j
for rebuilding will be" given out by j
Johnny Farrar until the wreckage has;
been cleared away. It is expected that!
when a new structure goes up it will
be of the best modern type and add con
siderable to the downtown district.
The loss of the Scotch Woolen Mills
is estimated to be about $100 on which i
insurance was placed. The amount that i
will be recovered can not be estimated
until the insurance adjusters make
their report but it is thought the am
iount will be about two thirds of the
I actual loss.

NEWS NOTE
Will Take Stock ;of
Wool In Northwest
Portland, Or., April 10. A canvass
of all the wool in the northwest ware
houses, similar to the canvases now be
ing made in eastern wool centers, will
be undertaken by tho government. Lo
cal wool men declare today that gov
ernment control of the wool trade, in
cluding the arbitrary regulation of
prices is not far distant.
Because of the great amount of wool
required for sailors' and soldiers' uni
forms, blankets and various other
items, the government is expected to
be in the market for all or nearly all
the wool produced in this country this
year. It is understood here that the
government proposes to commander all
the wool it needs. All that remains will
then he sold for domestic consumption
but the government, it is believed, will
fix the prices.
Wool growers in the northwest de
clare their willingness to turn over
their crop to tho government at a rea
sonable figure.
Will fix the price of the Finished Product. It does
mean this
The same thing that occurred in Great Britain
Will occur here.
The price of alii woolen goods will be three times
the present price.
WE HAVE A VERY LARGE STOCK OF CLOTH
ON HAND
and advise that you buy that Suit now. No advance
in price YET.
