I claim more honor as Chief than any
former Chief, for the reason that we have
not had a single fire alarm for the past

knowledge was in Wehrimg & Sons'
builoing", caused tiy a lamp falling from
aaiigitigs and the blaze was extinguished
by Mrs. McKinney, Thos. Gheeu and

I am glad to report that our city has
escaped without a single damaging fire.
I am pleased to know that the two com
panies show interest in keeping their
membership on tlie increase.

The dispatches this morning relative to the Srjanish Question are more
pacific in tenor. The powers of Europe have prevailed upon Spain to
grant an armistice and it is practically conceded that her acceptance of
the situation has removed all peril of war complications. It is not
thought that anything short of Cuban indent ndence will nrevail. al-

and, although the war spirit is strong, both brdies seem inclined to let
Spain's backdown settle the matter. Congress forced the question and
no matter what else may have been a part of the promoting agency,
Spain feared Congress more than the administration. Spain has a great

State Senator S. R. Hughes passed
away at his home Tuesday at 1:30
p. in., after an illness of several
weeks. The Oregonian has the fol
lowing sketch:
Samuel R. Hughes, who was i
pioneer merchant of Forest Grove,
was a native of Cooper countv
Missouri, having been born July
5th, 1835. His father, John W
Hughes, was a native of Tennessee,
he having been born in 1809. His
great-grandfather Hughes was born
in Ireland, and emigrated to Amer
ica previous to the Revolution, and
(ought in the Continental army
during the struggle for indepen
dence. Three generations of the
family from this ancestor bore the
name of SaUwhite, down to the
father of the deceased, John W
Hughes. The latter was married

was blessed with seven children, of
whom four are living, the deceased
being the second child. He was
reared in his native state and then
moved to Texas, where he followed
the trade ot blacksmith, as well as
that of engineer on many of the
boats of the Mississippi river. He
resided at Galveston. Texas, for i
short time, working in a foundry
and was also engaged in putting up
sugar mills and running them in
that state from 1852 to 1856. He
then followed the example of many
others and went to California, the
trip being made by the Isthmus of
Panama.
After reaching the West, he mined
in several different counties in Cal
ifornia, but, tiring oi this, went to
San Francisco, where he worked in
a foundry for some time, and was
later engaged in the coaBt survey

in his business that four years later
he built a store 26x100 feet, which
he had since occupied. In this he
made much space for a large stock
of stoves and farm implements,
showing his sagacity for reaching
the country trade, a large portion
of which he enjoyed. His was the
first store of its kind in forest
Grove, and he was the oldest mer

that place. His methods of doing
business were both honorable and
liberal. He was alwavs enterpris
