Last Saturday night the alarm of fire wr.s beard in Corvallis, when it was soon disco v ered that the Alden fruit drying burdiny on the bank of the river, just below Win. Pitman's machine shop, was on fire. The flames when discovered were bursting out through the windows, and the smoke pour ed forth as rapidly as the belching of a vol cano. Young America Engine Co. was out in a few minutes playing upon the names, although she was delayed ami lost mucl valuable time, because the leather washer or packing had been lost out of the end of the hose where connection was made with the f engine which caused much leakage of water wetting the men who were at work on the brakes. Monumental Hose Co. attached to the fire plug near Pitman's mill and were soon doing good work. The building has been standing idle for several years except about a week ago Mr. F. A. Horning and others dried some fruit in; it and for ! ajiort time up to about two weeks ago Mr Clark had bis tin shop in the lower storv of the building. At the time of the lire Mr. Clark had some Steves, iron, etc., in tl lower story. From all appearances it looks like the building was set on fire under the stairs in the first story of the building. The building was once a good building but it is left a wreck. Another Fire. Yesterday morning about two o'clock the sound of the fire bell again rang disturbing the slumbers of our citizens. Upon inves tigation the fire was found to be located Mr. D. B. Irvin's stable between sixth and Seventh streets just iu front and across the street from Thos. Graham's residence. The entirp building with its contents was con sumed. So many ot these hres occur ing in the night aud in stables and un occupied buildings indicate that some body sets them on fire. It would be well for the eity and also the county authorities to offer a liberal reward for the arrest and convict ion of the guilty party Wheat Shipments by Yaquina. The Yaquint railroad has completed her track down to the Willamette river and thence down past all the warehouses and terminates just below Mr. Moore's ferry landing. Mr. Jas. (,'authcrn shipped out five car loads of grain on Monday, five mnr on Tuesday and four more Wednesday all of which will arrive at the Bay in time to be shipped on the steamer Yaquina which sailed for San Francisco yesterday. Mr. Alex. Samuels proprietor of the warehouse at the west side depot is shipping fifteen cars of grain to g on the same steamer be sides T. J. Blair is shipping two car loads. Wheat U so low this season but little is on the market. If the railroad company will maintain the means of travel direct through to San Francisco it will be a valua ble and lasting benefit to the people of Ore gon in furnishing a means of competition in freight and passenger traffic. Oregon's Fish Ladder. On Thursday of last week the fish ladder at Oregon City was completed, and the next day Mr. Wallace Baldwin fish commissioner received a telegram from the contractors an nouncing its readiness and inviting him with the Governor of the state to repair to the place aud inspect and receive the same if found in a good condition. In response to the telegram Mr. Baldwin started last Saturday morning to the scene of action, where the long sought for ladder is situated, whereby the fish climb up over the falls of the Willamette river. An Accident. Last Saturday the steam saw of Mr. Lilly was sawing wood just back of th cenrt house. Mr. Wm. Bogue cme dashing along with his nice team and buggy and also with bis wife and child in the buggy with him. Wm. was not frightened at the saw and steam machine and little danger did he ap prehend from the team, because he thought the team as gentle on that subject as himself. But unfortunately he learned when too late that he was mistaken, and when the team were driven close to the saw they jumped and made a square turn, breaking the buggy tongue. Laddies Hanson's.

Jacob Webek. For the Taxpayers. A preliminary examination was had before justice Quivey in this place last Tuesday. Voung S.iipton and Wilsou Scott came to Corvallis and had the deputy marshall of 1 hilomath arrested claiming that he drew a ,iistol on th in. It seems as near as we : iu gather from the history of the aff .ir that iii last Sunday night some horsemen were passing through Philomath on their way from the grounds wlure camp meeting w is being held. The horsemen who were riding ahead when they got about the bridge in front of Akiu's drug store, while riding at full speed began to hollow and make a great deal of noise as ruffians frequently do. Vs soon as the yelling began the deputy marshall started into the middle of the stieet to head them off, but they rushed their horses along and rode past him. At the time of the yelling it seems that Skip ton and Scott were riding closely behind the persons who were making the unusual noise, and as the marsh ill rushed out to riead the noisy ones off, he came up just in timfl to head off Skipton and Scott who probably were not making any effort to ride by aud likely hid not participated in yelling but were unfortunate to be following closely after others, who hail been disturbing the peace, by noise an 1 actions common to wild Indians. The deputy marshal! might have thought the whole crwod had been partici pating in the disturbance ai.d m gli; have been honestly mistaken. Justice Quivey placed the defendant under .150 bonds to appear before the grand jnry. Since the above was put in type, we as c rtain that the same deputy marshal threw his slung shot, or policeman's biliy, at a couple of men driving through the streets in a buggy the same Sunday afternoon. It is supposed thai he intended to hit one of the nen on the head with the weapon, and if he h id succeeded it would no doubt have killed him, fortunately, however, his intended vic tim threw up his ami just in time to ward the blow off of his head. The weapon was thrown with such fore as to cut quite a i ash in the arm of the driver, through two coats and the usual under garments. A slung shot is classed as one of ihe worst and most dangerous weapons known to the law, and a man who has so little sense as to be drawing pistols on, and throwing dangerous wjapois at people as they puss the street, o ight not to be exercising the nurshalahip of a town, and besides such a person should be taken iu aud cared for until he learns the common decensies of civilization. The two men who were riding in the b iggy alluded to had no idea of violating any law, and did not intentionally do so. Strangers going into a new town do not know the petty or dinances, and if they happen to disobey some ordinance not knowing it, if the officers of the town desire t: arrest them; it should be lone decently and not knock men down like wild bogs, in fact marshals have no more right to beat and bruise men than other peo ple, unless in very extrordinary occasions, aud when they do they should be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Pliilomath I;emc Sept. 29, 18-35. The school at the college has a bettes out look than usual this year, having a larger attendance than common the first term.

Buy the Economy fruit drier at Woodcock 4 Baldwin's which utilizes the heat on a common cook stove, and enables the drier to work when meals are being prepared on the same stove. The price of the Machine complete is only twenty dollars and will en able fruit raisers to save the fruit heretofore wasted, without expense. Train off the Track. As the train was coming in from the Ya quina bay last Wednesday where first bridge across Sc. Marys river about two miles ba yond Philom ith is about twenty-five feet high a box car as it c inie on to the trustle j imped the track and before the train could be stopped fi, or or five cars had gone off. It was a lucky escape from what might have been a serious accident. The train was delayed about three hours before the cars were put back on the track. The box car which jumped the track is said to be one which has done such capers several times before. There may bo something wrong about its make up. It was fortu nate that the accident was not worse. CHINAMEN. The Portland daily AVioa says: "The working men of this city are at present dis cussing the question of ousting the Chiuese, in their lodges. Working men view the in crease of Chinese with the greatest alarm." A prominent lawyer said to a news reporter as follows: "I have been making a very extended observation of late, with reliable aid, and find that the number of depr ived women in this city has increased thirty, three per cent, in the past seven moutl.s. Among them are many young girls who have heretofore been of good standing in this city. They have been working at vari ous trades, and their employers having no further use for their services, have dis charged them. A' hat could they do? No work, none to get, no money, no friends. The only aud most immoral or all is open to them. It is a sad matter and needs remedy ing. Their downfall may be traced directly to Chinese cheap labor." New This Week. PRODUCE PRICE CURRENT.
