His the Greatest Fin !i Its Histon. ,Gold Hill,' March l.W. G. Newman came in from New York, Saturday and returned Sunday morning. Mr. Newman is now president of both the Gold Hill and Union Copper mines. A force of men were at work all day Sun day laying a pipe line from the Gold Goppei 0o,'s large reservoir to the Union mine, or Nos. 7 and 12 shafts, to supply water for the boilers, as the water in the mine is unfit for use. Tees are being placed in the line along Main street so that in oase of fire water can be takon from the line which will greatly facilitate the matter of extinishing fires when they occur. The most disastrous fire that has ever occurred here took place last Friday night at about 7:80 p. m. The fire originated in the dwelling occupied by J. M. Proc tor and family, and owned by W. L. Shaver. Mr. Proctor and wife went out after supper and in a veVy shrt time after their depart ure the house was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was sounded, the whistles at the mines vigorous ly tooted the fire alarm and a large crowd rapidly assembled, but of course could do nothing to save the house, as it was a Jrame building and burned like a tinder box, together with all its contents. There being no means of fighting fire and practically no water in the lower end of town available for anything, little could be done to save the property, however, willing hands drawed what water could be drawn from the few wells and pools nearby, but the flames rapidly spread to the ad joining buildings and before it could be stopped, eight frame buildings had been entirely de stroyed, entailing a loss of five or six thousand dollars, with no in surance on any of them. The buildings burned were the homes occupied by J. M. Proctor, W. L. Shaver's store house, the Dr. Shinpoch residence and office, a large livery stable and store-house, being used by Dr. Monk for an office and two other stables. Rome Myers store-house caught fire, al so the Methodist church, but by hard work was put out with but little damage to same. A box of dynamite was exploded in the Dr. Shinpoch residence with the hope that it would raze the build to the ground and cheok the pro gress of the fire. The result of the explosion was considerable damages' to nearby houses. Sev eral hundred glasses were broken and in some cases sash and glass were both broken out, and, it lit erally rained fire for several miL 'utes after the explosion occurred. Our little village was thronged with visitors from the country all day Sunday viewing the scene of the Friday night fire, which de vastated the lower end of Gold Hill. Mike.

The health is fairly good in this section. Billy. Apples In Boxes. This subject would be threadbare with all the discussion it has had of late were it not for the urgency of the facts. The apple barrel Is toy no means a satisfactory package, especially to the shipper of good apples, and in spite of obstacles the apple box Is making progress. A larger proportion of last year's apple crop was sold In boxes than ever before. These facts came most painfully to the attention of east ern apple growers when all through the winter months Oregon apples in boxes sold at good prices in all east ern cities, while New York and New England fruit was a drag in the mar ket. It was a situation which could leave no doubt in the eastern apple grower's mind, that something has to be done. Naturally the eastern grower, who sees his market thus cut out from under him, thinks first of boxing his own apples. He considers also the fancy packing, trademarking and oth er selling devices at which the west ern men are so clever. All these schemes he must adopt, imitate or improve. But there is one thing more, and a very important one, which must be taken into the account The east era grower most grow better fruit. Eastern apples are conceded to be of better quality than Pacific coast stock, but the eastern grower has relied quite "too much on this single fact The western apples are allowed to have the best color and finish, but again the eastern grower has taken this esti mate too much for granted. The high quality of New York and New Eng land apples must be preserved, aug mented and then advertised. The fruit must be carefully hand thinned on the trees in order to get a uniform grade for box packing. The color and ap pearance must be improved by better care. Western methods of co-operative packing, shipping and selling must be adopted. These are large reform here pointed out. and the eastern farm er Is a hard subject for reform, but these improvements have all got to be made. Otherwise the Oregon apple grower will appropriate the entire east ern market, and the eastern apple grow ers will go into the mfflc business.
