Rev. Fran Mixsell, of Horicon, Wis.,
arrived in Oregon Citv Sunday and oc
cupied the PreBbyterian pulpit Sunday
morning and evening. Mr. Mixsell is a
graduate of McCormick Seminary, Chi
cago, since 1900, and he came to this
city with high recommendations from
friends in the East. He preached two
excellent sermons while in this citv, and
the reputation which preceded him waB
well sustained. The Presbyterian
church will be fortunate, indeed, if they
procure this valuable man.
George Cunningham was in from the
scene of the Sringwater fire Saturday,
and his tale is one of extreme pathos.
His entire place, iocluowg bonse, barn,
granary, lences, were totally aesiroyea,
the result of 20 yeirs of faithful sacri
fice and toil. At tne time of the fearful
tire his wife was seriously ill, having
been confined to her bed for a year.
When the fire became hopelessly un
manageable he was obliged to transfer
her to a wagon and take her over long,
rough roads to Oregon City, where he
now is, and will probably remain for
some time.
A meeting of the board of directors of
the humane society was held at the Ore
gon City Bank Monday evening. A full
attendance was present and the princi
pal matter of interest was the passing of
resolutions of thanks to William Howell
for hie valuable donation ot free will la
bor on the city's new fountain. The
resolutions also contained an expression
of thanks to Mecsrs. Johnson and An
drews for their timely contributions to
the erection of the fountain. Jn Octo
ber occurs the regular annual meeting
of the humane society at which time
election of officers for the ensuing year
will be held.
Rev. Hatch, of Springwater, was in
the citv Monday. Mr. Hatch has been
preaching in the Springwater Presbyter-
lail Cliuruu lur BUiuo lime, aim ,10 iu"
forms us that the church was burned to
the ground by the recant fire. There
port that his parsonage was also de
stroyed was a ruiptake, for he says by
great exertion worki.ig almost night and
uay, lie Wan t&UlB, mm hid aaetoiauic v
many friends, to save the house. He
savs that the First Presbyterian church
of Portland lias already advanced $200
towards the building fund and from the
present prospects another p'ace of wor
ship will soon be standing.
Athletic spirit begins to awaken, and
now that the baseball season has about
spent itself, the boys of this city are or
ganizing a football team. A meeting was
held this week to discuFS the advisabil
itv of plaving ball this winter, and it is
decided to organize and play good ball
TIib three leading promoters are W. I)
Holt, Ed Rapp and Peter Younger, all
men of considerable experience in this
exc'ning sport. It is to tie hoped that a
good team organizes and play ball with
the true spirit. .No reason Is imag
inable whv a first-class team can not be
nut in the field. The boys plan now is
to play on Thanksgiving Day, Christ

John Baker, who lUes near the old
Wolf olace on the Molalla road, came
within an ace of bein 1 burned out Sat
urday last. The sparks came from the
Harris mill, two miles northeast 01 nu
place and lighting in the stubb e near
his big timber ranch began to burn
with an intensity seldom witnessed.
Mr, Baker was away at the time, the
fire started but reached its scene of de
vastation just in time to, with the as
sistance of his wife, daughter and
friends in Ely, get the upper hand of
the flames. Mr. Biker had many cords
of excellent fir wood piled close to the
scene of the fire, and had it not been
checked at that moment all must cer
tainly have gone up in smoke.
The recent fire so replete with its heart
rendering scenes and pathetic circum
stances was not without its humorous
side as well. It is told by a gentleman
whose adherence to truth is every
where recognized, that while the fire
was raging most virulently at Spring
water, a woman whoBe house was in
imminent danger of burning, was seen
rushing around excitedly with a small
object rapped up iu a white table cloth.
As her conduct was not productive of
any specially good results and it appear
ing to be an unnecessary waste of ener
gy, somebody asked her what she was
doing with the table cloth, and why she
didn't direct her attention to her house,
which was almost burning? At every
interrogatory the woman replied, "Oh I
can t let this poor little thing burn.
I can't do it :it woul 1 be a pity." Her
friends becoming curious to know what
sacred treasure the woman had which
she valued more t!an her house, undid
the cloth, and lo, and behold there ap
peared to view a little black pig just en
tering the sixth week ot ma existence.
