Authentic information ia received that
the whole country out as far as Buckner
Creek has been burned, some houses,
many fences and barns going down be
fore the hungry flames. In this fearful
ly devastating fire, a valuable and severe
lesson must be learned by the people of
the country that it's no time, when ever
thing is bot and dry, to start to slash
and burn. Most of these fires started
from this source, and another year these
costly experiences must be borne in
mini and a more opportune time for
Blashing chosen.

Marshall Robinfton, an old colore":,
man, whose home is in San Francisco,
was in this city Monday selling little

ored man is 89 years old and was born
in Virginia, where he spent 40 years of
his life, a slave in the cotton fields in
the South. He is a very interesting
and unique character His hair is
tinged with the snow of many winters,
and his care worn countenance bespeaks
of many hardships. He has not par
taken of meat of any kind f jr 15 years,
as be does not believe it is conducive
to health.
Sheriff Shaver wishes to inform the
general public that the second half of the
unpaid taxes must be in and paid on or
before the first Monday in October. It
will greatly facilitate matters for all
parties having taxes to pay to come in
and pay them before the last day al
lowed bylaw, as on that day the rush
will be so great that the clerks in the
office will be unable to make out the re
ceipts sufficiently fast to meet the de
mand, and then, too, when obliged to
wore so fast, mistakes are apt to be
made. Remember the day, and come
earlv arid avoid the rush.
The boats, notwithstanding tne low
state of the river, are having a gr eat run
nd every day carry large loads of traffic
from Portland up the river and return.
Monday evening the old steamer Modook
that has been bo long flying up and down
the river, carried 700 sacks of grain from
Salem to Portland and this is nothing
out of the ordinary. The poor boys,
who handle the merchandise, say that
they seldom get to bed before 2 o'clock
in the morning and long for the rush to
abate. The boats are making the trip to
Salem every day though only by means
of the capstan pulleys and ropes and
reaching Salem generally about 1U o'clock
at night,
Mr. George Smith a resident of Shubel
when interviewed Thursday morning by
the Courier reporter, in regard to the ex-
tent of damage by hre; gave the follow
ing app.oximate estimate: Ed Horn
shuh, who lost everything from fiiuuu to
$3000 with no insurance. Mike
Moehnke about $2000. Fred Bluhm from
$1500 to $2000. Chris Hornshuh about
$500. Fred Moehnke $600. wi.h slight
insurance. Wesley Hill $300 with small
insurance. Mr. Massinger lost a barn,
$150. William Guenther fencing and
machinery $400. Gus Schuebel, fencing,
1200 and damage on the old Robinson
place perhaps $200. These figures are all
under ratner tnan over tne loss.
A $33 gold watch was stolen by W.
Burk Tuesday afternoon at the New
England titchen. W. Martel was the
loser and at this hour the stolen pro
perty has not been found. It seems
that several of the boys were rooming
together and young Burk having ample
opportunity to know where the boys
kept their valuable, took advantage of
it and on Tuesday afternoon made a
hurried trip to Portland with the stolen
property. Constable Moody was put on
his track and Wednesday found the man
answering Burk's description walking
down 1st s'reet, Portland. He had
sold the watch and is now in jail await
ing a hearing.
Thursday afternoon fire broke out up
in the timber back of some cottages on
13th aud Taj lor streets. Some small
boys.it Ib thought set it Wednesday in
the woods and it neeeded only the strong
wind of Thursday afternoon to fan it in
to devastating flames. Firemen from
all of the companies were on the ground
with several hundred feet of hose, and
while the fire was not wholly subdued
it's main st eugth was greatly impaired
by the strong current of water thrown
upon it. One house near the IT. B.
church caught fire but was quickly ex
tinguished. At a late hour, as we go to
press, the fire was still burning and was
taking a south-easterly course with no
immediate danger.
The fire which has been raging for
several days has been burning with un
relenting devastation. The latest re
ports available disclose the following
gloomy facts. Mike Moehnke, one of
the most prosperous farmers at Shubel,
lost all his bnudingi, barns and fences.
Seeing that the house and barn were
doomed, he removed his furniture and
valuable necesnaries out side where he
supposed the flames would not approach
but to his dismay all of his household
goods, furniture and several horses were
burned to ashes. The entire loss per
haps would not be covered by $6000,
this is not all, for Elmer Dixon has lost
a house and barn a little ways from town.
M. Bluhm owns one barn less, U. W.
Nash, the woodman, has lost consider
able cord wood on the hill and from re
ports, that we consider reliable though
Lot absolutely authentic, several hun
dred valuable sheep arid a number of
milch cows were burned.
Johnson Lamb have a new
stock of guns and ammunition.
Ululls loaded to order. 'Tltey also
continue to do up-to-date bicycle
and umbrella repairing.

A Change
In the medicine is so often ordered that you
sometimes doubt the ability of the physician to
properly treat the patient, when if the truth
was known the fault is with your druggist and
not the doctor. You become tired and restless
waiting for a change for the better to take place,
until in your anxiety you order a change o
doctors, when in the majority of cases a change
of druggists would be more beneficial to the
sick one.
When your physician tells you the medicine
don't have the desired effect, ask him to allow
you to have us prepare the medicine and note
the result.
We accurately compound the prescriptions
of all physicians, no matter how complicated .
We do the work ourselves and don't turn them
over to an inexperienced assistant to fill.
Before changing doctors
try a change of druggists
