Monday night about 11 o'clock the fire alarm was sounded and the citi zens and firemen were awakened from their slumbers to witness one of the fiercest and most destructive tires that has ever visited our city. The alarm was promptly responded to and people came running to the scene fiom every direction, ready to assist in extinguish ing the flames. But alas, too late, for the fire had gained considerable head way before it was discovered, and by the time water was turned on, the flames were leaping high in the air and spreading with great rapidity over the dry lumber and buildings. The fire men and citizens worked with a will to keep the tire from spreading to other buildings," and in this they succeeded, but to quench the flames after such a headvay had been obtained would have been almost impossible even had we the tire equipments of larger cities. There was but one hydrant that could be reached with the hose, consequently but one stream could be used. With this, however, and the bucket brigade which was formed, the buildings in the immediate vicinity and the vast pile of lumber which was piled across the street opposite the mill were sayed. It was fortunate that the night was calm, tor had the wind been blowing the fire could not have been held in check and would have swept every building in that quarter. The sight was a niagnmcent one to view irom the river bank, which was lighted up almost as light as day by the bright golden light from the names, with the doomed building as a back ground and the black volume of smoke float ing upwards into the sky; presented a picture long to be remembered by those who s .w it. There was some 200,000 feet of high grade lumber stored in the sheds that is a total loss, which with the building was valued at between $12,000 and $15,000 and were insured for but $4 500. The mill gave employment tor a number of men both here and at the logging camp, and the loss is felt heavy by them. There was about $12,000 worth of logs coming down the river to the mill at the time of the fire. It is understood that Mr. Friendly will rebuild the mill immediately. Hotel to Let. A first-class hotel situated in an excellent locality and doing a business which pays from $3500 to $4000 per year to lease for a term of years. This is a good op portunity for some one. The furniture must be sold with the lease. Reasons for leasing, on account of poor health. Address "L. N." Gazette oilice, Cor vallis. Oregon. Fine Samples. This is the time of the year when prolilic samples of fruit, grain and vegetation are brought in for exhibi tion, and the farmers are justly proud of their productions. There is no country that cau surpass Oregon when it comes to raising fruit, small grain or vegetables of any kind, and the interest taken in the pro duction of bucIi by the farmers is remark able. It is a shame that there is not a fair held in this county where tne Kneat of specimens of fruit and grain ever raised might be brought forth and exhibited. It would encourage the more careful cultiva tion thereof and perhaps would be the means of attracting Eastern capital here, as a fair is generally the place selected by par ties wishing to invest, as a place where they can obtain an idea of the general produc ing qualities of the soiL We have the soil and the climate. What is needed now to make a great future for this county, is for a few men who have the necessary capital, (and there are plenty of them,) to take the matter in hand and give Beuton count a fair a place where the produce of each year may be brought and exhibited. This is what we need and what we must have. A few samples have been brought in this week which it is safe to say will compare with anything raised in any country. Wednes day W. J. Hulbert, brought in a sheaf of oats which were seven feet aud four inches tall, and he reports having a large field of this magnificent crop. Henry Gerber has a specimen of apples raised on his place, it is a branch of an apple tree ten inches long and has sixteen, large, well-developed apples on it. Joe Johnson produces branch which he cut from one of his Italian prune trees, is thirteen inches long, loaded witn one prunes ami weighes sixteen pound, When this kind of fruit is raised there is no doubt in our minds as to the future of our state. The play "Held by the Enemy," which will be given at Job's Theater on Monday evening, July 20, the night of the Keene Conpany's return visit, is a piece which all Americans should see at least once iu their lives, as it is written by an American, is founded on an American sub ject and is one of the few plays the action of which take place entirely in America, It is replete with strong military situations and haa a predominant comedy element which is said to be delicious. A thrilling imitation ot a horse goinz at a rapid rate of speed creates intense excitement in the third act and zives the production a sem blance of reality which, according to the criticism of an exchange, is truly wonder ful. Mr. Harry V. Keene, the, manager of the company, is an old soldier, as is also Silas llobiuson, the sta.ee manager, both having been in the entire service. . The re quisite experience therefore for the success ful production of a military drama is not lacking, and as both are enthusiastic mem bers of the G. A. R. they will doubtless receive a warm reception from their com rades h ere. . A Silver Trowel. An interesting relic of some prominent events in Oregon's his. tory was exhibited by T. McF. Patton yes terday. It is a small silver trowel on which is inscribed: Presented to T. McF. Patton, M. VV G. M., A. F. & A M., of Oregon, at the laying of the cornerstone of the state capitoL Oct. 8, 1873. by John f . AliUer, I Henry Klippel, and Samuel Allen, com missioners, it was presented to air. rat ton just before the laying of the cornerstone of the capitol and was nsed by him in the ceremonies of that occasion. Later it was used by R. P. Earhart, S. M., in laying the cornerstone of the agricultural college at Corvallis, Statesman. . ' Across the Deep, to the Far West, On steamboats, cars and stage coaches, Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as the most important item in the materia medica of the traveling public. It deprives vitiat ed, brackish water of its hurtful properties and execrable flavor, counteracts the per nicious effects upon the stomach of bad or indigestible fond, rempiliefi p.ramnR. hnarfc- hum and wind upon the stomach. It is a tine defense against malarial disorders, nul lities the effects of excessive heat, cold and damp, relieves sick-headache, and is an in comparable cure for costiveness and bilious ness. The fatigue of travel often tells most disastrously upon invalids and convales cents, occasionally to such an extent as to jeopardize life. Persons in feeble health, apprehensive of bad effects from travel, will, if provided with the Bitters, be far less likely to have their fears realized. One of the first buildings built in Oregon City , has been torn down and moved to make way for the inarch of progress.
