Last Wednesday while Mr. Erickson and bia wife and son were in tbe city, and only the little children at borne, the bouse took fire near the ceiling and a moment after was in flames. Those at home were helpless and could not save anything, and the bonse and the entire con tents belonging to two families were con- teamed. There was no insurance on the ' bouse and it will be a total loss. It is a sad blow for Mr. Erickson. He ia poor with a . large family of children whose mother was killed several years ago by a logrolling over ' ier. These misfortunes leave the family in destitute circumstances'! -Our debates gfow lit Interest at every bieeting. Tbe question ror discusnion on Saturday, February 9 was, "Resolved, That women should have tbe right of suf frage equal with men." Tbe affirmative was led by Joel Jarl and tbe negative by Ed Brims. After two hours of lively talk the question was decided in favor or the af firmative. The question for next meeting is, Resolved, That the Chinese are more of a detriment to this country than saloons. After debate a spelling match was had and Bill Myers carried oft the prixe by spelling down the crowd, Mr. BBrkhard of Oregon City has bought the place of John Beautler, and it is said he will slash 100 acres and set 40 arras out in fruit trees. Still the road talk goes on as lively as ever and probably will continue for awhile. Whet will be one of the main topics of com vernation soon wiil be the choice of What road to Improve, as we have two roads be tween here and Pleasant Home. One is known aa "the old stage road" and the other as "the new road." But it seems to be the general opinion of the people to im prove the new road as it runs through the center of our settlement, is a half mile nearer, and has no hills while the other has, and for these reasons the new road should be tbe one to improve, and no doubt will be; but kicking ia sure to come from tbe residents along the old road. One Important matter our legislature abould not forget, and that Is for the state to purchase the Barlow toll road and make it free ror everybody to travel on. Tbe Installation of officers or the 8. orV. Camp No. 3 has been postponed till the 23l. Rev. Mr. Camming held church services every evening during tbe past week and Sunday Hit lOlli.

We do not pretend to be posted in the senatorial fight now on at the state capitol. But if we understood the issue aright In the last slate campaign, it was Dolph or Perm- over for the United Htates senate. If the free silver cranks and populists are to rule the legislature why not send Pennoyer to wasningtonr we don't think any one doubta his willingness to go. Jora.
