Friday morning of last week
about 3 . o'clock Charley ShenoSeld.
night clerk at the Occidental hotel,
discovered that the Corvallis -Planing
Mill and Box Factory waa in flames.
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. . The fire originated in shavings
about the doors of the furnace and
irom tnere it communicated witn a
numbar of doors leaning against a
post. The flames climbed the poet
and caught a quantity of dry lumber
on the 6econd floor. The loes is about
25.;' There was no insurance.

a ferryboat built the past winter by
Adams Brothers for Buena Vista were
secured in Portland at a cost of $37.

in the Salem craft are four inches
thick and 22 inches wide and were se
cured at the Benton County Lumber
Co.'s Mill on Greasy at little more
than half the cost of those from Port
land. The gunwales which went into
construction of the Salem boat, are
two of four, obtained from one tree at
the mill. It is said that it requires
an unusually fine tree from which four
gunwales of such dimensions may- be
obtained.

ON MARTS PEAK.
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, . ' ,

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?
