Additon and Cal lahan, and known as the old foundry, the corner of Third and Jackson streets. Ihe alarm was given and the fire department was soon on the scene but only in time to prevent the destruc tion of adjacent property. The build ing was ussd as a stable and a quantity of hay, two cows, a wagon and some other property was burned. Two horses which were in the building when the fire broke out, escaped, but were badly burned. The total loss is variously estimated at from $1200 to $1500. Soon after the roof of the burning building fell in a second alarm was sounded, it having been discovered that the barn of Mr. Philips and one adjacent belonging to Mr. Wills were on fire in the southern portion of the city. One hose company was left to control the fire in the old foundry while ome hose, the engine and the H. & L. company broke away for the long run to the second fire. The hook and adder company, however, was the only part of the department that could do effective work as there was no water in reach of the engine or hose. By the utmost efforts of the H. fc L. boys and the citizens the adjoining resi dences were saved. The stables were a total loss and their value with con tents was perhaps $700. There is no doubt that these fires were of incen diary origin. Abundant Cherry Crop. The abundance of bloom upon the cherry trees this year is remarkable and indi cations point to an unusually large crop of the fruit. The birds which usually ravage this fruit in the bloom have not been troublesome this season. They have not been so numerous and confined their depredations to a limited variety of the trees. The evidence of the decided choice of these birds for a certain variety of embryo cherry may have recently been seen in the orchard of Mrs. St. German, in the northern portion of the city, in which one large tree was completely stripped of its bloom while the other trees appeared to have not been visited by the pests. A Gazette reporter was informed that this particular tree was attacked first each season. A special train will leave Corvallis, Tuesday morning, May 5th, at 7:15 a. m. sharp to meet President Harrison at Albany. The passengers can return on any regular tram. 1 ickets tor round trip 90 cents. C. C. Hogue, G. P. A PHOTOGRAPHS.
