An alarm was at once given. Al though quite a cumber of persons un able to rind lodging and others in dulging in festivities incident to the carnival, were about at the time, the firemen apparently had all retired. The usual length of time was consum ed in getting tne fire apparatus ready for work, when the department, how ever, had gotten ready for business the flames were soon extinguished. A hose In the factory did good service in the way of keeping down the flames until the arrival of the fire depart ment. .

Planning , Station for Telegraph and Signal There What Mr. Wyatt Says. - " It is claimed that there is a possi bility that the summit of Mary's peak is to be utilized as a signal station. A number of men said to be civil engineers in the employ of the government came down from there last Sunday, after several days spent on top of the peak. Frank Wyatt who was on the Peak at the same time, says the men were" surveying up there. Also that they told him they were mak ing an examination of the place with a view of establishing a signal station. They were located on the topmost portion of the mountain, i which they said would be favorable for their purpose. They claimed that from there they would be able to signal a long ' distancs to the south and north, as well as at sea. Such stations are located all along the California coast on mountain peaks, and at each now .a wireless telegraphy plant is in operation. .Mr, Wyatt also said that one of the party remained on top of the Peak, and that ha is to continue there for a couple of weeks. ABOUT THREE THOUSAND. That is What They Say Receipts Carnival Were The Woodmen's Share. at The late carnival came to an end Saturday night, and Sunday morn ing the Arnold shows left by spe cial train for Grants Pas,s, where a similar programme is scheduled for this week. The crowd Saturday evening was the largest of the week. The public wedding failed to come to pass, owing to the un willingness of the young folks of the vicinity to appear at, the altar. At the baby show Friday after noon the six . months old baba of Mii and Mrs. S. E. Trask was awarded first prize and the child of Mr; and Mrs. Elmer Bethers took second place, twelve additional babies being con'estants. The entire receipts of the shows are said to be in the neighborhood of $3 ooo, of which the Woodmen are to have io per cent. The re ceipts of the first day's performan ce was $450, but each day there alter the revinue increased. At Dallas the Woodmen cleared about $800 out of the carnival. There the skin games -not permitted to operate in Corvallis were allowed'to run, and 'the Woodmen collected $10 a day. from each of them. The total receipts of the Arnold shows at Dallas were about $5,000. They brought "blong layouts of various stirpes, sizes and descriptions with which to ensnare and rob una ware. They were eager for business, but soon learned tat Corvallis was not their sort of town. Tiiey made a diligent inquiry of the police as to what might be the consequence if they ran games. , If the games are gamb ling, the man who runs them will be arrested, was the Inevltaole reply. They went to the sheriff and that offi cial t ld them that local people were net allowed to gamble, and that cer tainly the privilege woull not be ex tended to strangers. Two or three of the party rented rooms, but after looking over the situation concluded that Oorvallislwas no place for them. By the time the carnival began, prac tically all of the gamesters had gone from town. The rain during theweek largely diminished the attendance in this town, .

Bridges. -Begister, WHILE TAKING EXERCISE. Fell From Horizontal Bar and Fractur ed Shoulder Joint G. M. Ream. G. MV Ream, who conducts a tailoring and dyeing establishment in the Hemphill building on Main street, lies in his room in the rear of his shop with a broken should er joint. It will be a considerable time before he will again be able to attend to the wants of his custom ers. ... .'.-, ' The fractured bone is the , result of an accident. It is the habit - of Mr. Ream to take exercise on a horizontal bar regularly each morn ing. For the purpose, he has a bar, one end of which he places on top of a door while the other end is laid on a window sash. With this device he regularly takes such ex ercise as is necessary. Very early Monday morning, he was at work on the bar, when one end of it dropped suddenly from its fasten ing, and Mr. Ream was precipitated to the floor. The heavy fall, and the subse quent groans of Mr. Ream attracted to the scene, Mr, Lederle, who keeps a restaurant next door. When he arrived, a physician was sent for, and treatment administered- Two other physicians- were subsequently called. The fracture is in the shoulder joint, and may involve either or both the end of the arm bone, or the scapula at the point into which the arm bone fits. You'll miss it if you miss it what?
