A HOT FIRE.
FRIENDLEY S SAWMILL BURNED TO THE
GROUND MONDAY NIGHT.
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.

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

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

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.
