Ti... I,r.,n of B. Tocker. who had re-
aided at Kprintiwater. for 40 years, and
had a moat excellent farm, the wora oi a
lifetime. baJ everytbing swept away in
a few moments.
W.J. Lovelace, a merchant ofbpring
aater, was in Oreon City lant Saturday
afternoon, giving the first aiiihenuc
news of the fire at that place, it was
reported that Mr. Lovelace's atont bad
alrtO beeu destroyed, hot napuy una
prd o be an erroneous report, but
.tv.1lr one livinn in the vicinity of
Springwater and lodge suffered great j
Ions.
The store of W. J. Uwellen is saved,
as ara the Maccabee and Grange hall and
the achoolhouae. These buildmn ere
saved only because they were consider
ably distant from the dead timber, and
that men constantly fought lor meir
safetv.
'The people of Springwater must have
assiftance, and that soon," Mid Mr.
Lovelace. "They have absolutely coin
ing. As long as the contents ol my store
spd Mr. Lewellen'i store last the
strf' ken inhabitants may come and help
themcelves, but our stocks are not laree
and will soon be exhausted. They have
no monev. no clothing, no place for their
stoi k, no food and the winter is fast ap-
rnu,.int.tf. Our people make an ap
peal for early help, and must have it."
It was only about a month ago that
Springwater was threatened by timber
fires, and the recent fires are a result of
.1,- -Mi-lier trouble. The fires were only
smouldering and were brought to life by
a wind from the east which blew coais
of tire and bark for half a mile.
First the flame struck Dodge, and
while the people of Springwater were
lending their aid in fighting the tire at
that place they heard that the fire was
approaching Springwater.
All of Thursday ulght and Friday
niornim: the lire rared fiercely, following
down the Clackamas river and Clear
creek, crowing the Springwater ridge
and stopping at the upper edge of Viola,
w hich place and Loaan were saved from
a similar bite by the wind dying down.
In the Eairle Creek country the dam
age was also great. The bunkhouse,
cookhouse, tents and toolhouse of the
Oregon Water Tower & Railway Com
pany were com-uined, but the new
jKjwer station was eaved. Every
fence and building which could be
reached by the fire was destroyed.
George Cunningham's loss was com
plete. He loet :M0 worth of fine hogs.
Many cattle were burned, and carcasses
were strewn eery where. Several
county bridges are btunbd out.
The following farmers snliereu loiai

every quarter there ia a high sense of
duty manifested in tnie maner, auu
suffering is being releived as rapidily as
it is possible to get relief to the stricken
people. Church and secret society peo
ple of this city have been very active
during the week in soliciting and con-
trlhutinL? aid.
Fortunately there waa no loss ot Hie as
a result of the terrible calamity in this
in this county to add to the other dire
extremities.
1r.no Althnnih mixed Up With IJave
Merrill and Harry Tracy in tbe trouble
at Portland, and being an important wit
ness for the stale in the case when both
the men were sett to the Oregon prison,
Ben Merrill's conduct while here was not
such as to attach any particular interest
to bim. He behaved fairly well. Very
few people suspected him to be a heart-
crusher, but here the lolks who passed
him daily on the streets seem to nave
been taken unawares. The discovery ot
n.v Merrill's bodv by Mrs. aggooer
and her boy and tbe fact that the Oregon
officials failed to pay the reward onerea
for the capture of Merrill, gave Mrs. Wag
goner good excuse to be often in Che
halis. That she has improved the oppor
tunity for several weeka past was luny
demonstrsted by ber presence here a few
days every week.
Now it baa leaked out tbat Mrs. Wag
goner came here and helped Ben Merrill
to punch all the hole into bis meal tick-
et properly. Inquiry at the: restaurant
where the man boarded reveals tne uci
tbat lor some time the two have metaud
eaten together there. A friend of Mer
rill's, who is also a hostler, says that
Merrill went out to see Mrs. Waggoner
and drove around tb country with her
every 8uody. Friday b went after her
and they spent the evening here.
Mrs. Waggoner has a husband. David
, Waguoner, near Kavaploe, where he
works in a logging camp. She also has
three married daughters. The woman
does not apoear to be over forty years of
age, but Merrill is younger, probably
about 30. The effort to secure the re
ward for Mrs. Waggoner may potsib'y
now be taken up in bebaif of her boy,
who was with ber at the time, and who
has done nothing in any way to forftit
the ;ood will that the people have held
toward bim.

.Marion (oiintj's Assessor.
When Assessor Charles Lembcke
stepped into office it was his determina
tion to perform his full duty to the
people so far as it was within his power
and province, and he seems to be no
disappointment to the just and fair
minded. Hie latest step in making all
tThi nrooertv. big as well as little,
pay taxes, is commended by the farmers
especially. The franchise and rights
held thereunder in the Mill tree prop
riv hv the Salem Flourining Mills and
Salem Water Company had escaped
taxation, and while these corporations
were resting in seeming seconty, causing
no loss of sleep, Assessor Lembcke has
notified them that they must pay tax on
$5,000. This is low for a starter, as it
was claimed by those holding it mat me
franchise was worth $320,000. The state
printing office, owned by a private indi
vidual, is another concern that has en
joyed being ignored by tbe assessor, but
Mr. Lembcke has listed it for $3500.
The timber claims In tbe county have
also been assessed at an increased valu
ation, and that also is eminently correct.

Late Literary ews.
It is risking something to ask the pub
lic to place a piece of fiction along
side of Poe's best work. The editor
of the Cosmopolitan ventures this in the
following note, which appears in ine
September issue : "One does does not
often find a story which seems to come
in the classification of Edgar Allen Poe's
best work. Yet one might be tempted
to aek such a place for 'The Canonic
Curse' which Arthur E. McFarlane con
tributes to Tbe Cosmopolitan for Sep
tember."
