It is a mystery how the buildina caucht fire, lue woman s husband was down town at the time and she was in bed in an upper story. Being very feeble and unable to help herself she was burned to death. The dead woman was tbe only surviving daughter of Chief Yelcus, of the Molalla tribe of Indians and ber age was about 75. The lose of the building probably does not exceed $500, exclusive of $100 in gold coin. 'Susanne was born in this county and was a half-sister to Henry Yelcus, of Molalla. Tooeki is a well known char acter about Oregon Uity and he earns a living by doing janitor work. He came here from Warm Springs about 50 years ago, and is what is known as a Deschutes Indian. Coroner Strickland investigated the affair and decided that an inquest was not necessary. The remains were in terred at the Indian Camp Tuesday, OASTOniA Bra th lhl ai.il You Haw Always Bmitit 275 Biraature - i 0071 r The report of Major Alfred F. Sear", C. E., Wm. R. Chase, city engineer of Portland, and Charles F. Lester, who is connected with the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad, commifsioners ap pointed on tne Canemah crossing in the case of the Oregon City A Southern Rail way vs. the Oregon & California Rail road and the Southern Pacific Company, as filed in the office of the county clerk Saturday. The report is an ex- hautive one and goes into every detail. The public la so familiar with this case that the publication of tbe events that led to il are unnecessary. The manner of the crossing and the signals art minutely specified. Tbe report state that the O. C. A S. road is constructed to crossing the track of tbe S. P, Co. twice and established Uie position of the crossings. The S. P. Co'a road is sub divided into stations of 100 feet each, numbered consectutively from Portland and the first crossing is to be between stations 820 and 827 and center of the crossing to be 48 feet south of station 820. The second crossing to be between stations 845 and 840 the center 73 feet south of 845. Tbe report also says : "Grade crossings are a menace to life and property under all circumstances, even when guarded by tbe most perfect device known to men. in our judgment it should never be allowed when it can properly be prevented. "In the present Instance the com missioners would have decided upon an overhead crossing if it could have been built without undue interference with the county road. "Your commissioners wish to empha size their decided opinion that the line of the electric road is not properly lo cated. Tbey find on personal investi gation that it might and Bhould have been placed along the river bank be tween the 8. P. line and the river, even if it had been necessary to move the track of the S. P, a trifling distance eastward, for which there is abundant room, without serious damage to abut ting property or the aligment of tbe ex isting company. Such lateral movement would not In their judgment exceed 10 feet." sflto iud You Haw Always The piles that annoy you so will be quickly and permanently healed if yon use DeWitt'a Witch Hazel Salve.
