Official notice from Secretary of State
Kincaid, of the changes made in Benton
county's assessment, as equalized by the
state board, has been received by Clerk
Hunter, who has a corps of clerks at
work, on the rolls, making the necessary
changes in valuations. The only modi
fications made iu the roll as returned by
the county board area raise ten per cent
iu the valuation placed upon merchan
dise and implements and a ten per cent
reduction in the valuation of horses and
mules. The reduction on the latter,
however, is mote than offset by the ad
vance on merchandise and implements,
the net increase being $8,546. The total
valuation as returned by the county
board was 3,057,703; by the state board,
$3,076,249.
The first fire in this vicinity for several
months, occurred between seven aud eight
o'clock, last Saturday night It resulted

of M. O Hart, which stood on the Albany
road, about one-half mile north of town,
aud with the building a quautity of house
hold furniture and family wearing af -parel
yas also consumed by the flames.
The family were absent from home at the
time, aud owing to the rather isolated
location of the building, the fire was aot
discovered until the flauin burst through
the roof. By this time the Sre had gain
ed such headway that it was impossible
to save the structure. However, a con
siderable portion of the furniture, bed
ding, etc., on the lower floor, was saved.
The dwelling was two stories high, we'.l
furnished, and contained seven or eight
rooms. Mr. Hart carried $1,000 insurance;
$700 on the building aud 300 on the eon
tents. The suppositioa is the fire origi
nated from a defective flue.
George. H. Parsons, of Portland, di
rector of Parson's orchestra, accompanied
the steamer Ruth to this city on her ini
tial trip last Friday. To a Gazette rep
resentative he gave a glowing account of
the success that " Harry Samuels is meet
ing with, as a cornetist. Since leaving
Corvallis, several years ago, Harry has
been playing with Parson's orchestra, and
won considerable distinction as solo cor
netist with the Parson's Baud, which fur
nished the music during the recent Port
laud exposition. Several weeks ago Mr.
Samuels left for Chicago, with the inten
tion of taking a course of lessons under
one of the most noted cornet instructors
ia the country. He had been there but
a few days, however, until his splendid
playing attracted the notice of the leader
of a large New York orchestra, who im
mediately engaged him at a salary of
$50 per week. He is now in New York
City playing solo cornet with an orches
tra of 26 pieces. His duties also include
the rendition ' of two solos daily. Mr.
Parsons thinks Harry is one of the best
cornetist in the country, and after a few
years more experience, believes he will
attain a national reputation. .

happy party was on board. Durin g the trip

made and a number of gentleman and ladies
of that city were taken on board, who accom
panied the Corvallis contingent homeward.

Without going into ' dutaile of a travel

Tho matter, of tho estate of Carl Straga,
whoso tragic d.-:it'.i occj re J July 28, I8l3, is
nearing an end. At least, Admihistrat r
Wilson's p.;- rt, Bled iu the probate eouit
this week, show that thi all airs .of tbo estate
are at last in soaiosort of.lm-iness s-hape and
that they van n w be woun I tie without a
graat dual of ds'af.
This statn h v: bum a long lim in gutting
its affairs closed up, and durin j the three and
a half years that have elapsed since the death
of Straga, his heirs have been put to no end
of trouble and annoyance in getting the
estate j-robat d.
Straga's death occ-irred Ju'y 29, 1392. On
the first dy ot August following 11. G. Da

Jan. 11, 1S9J, the iel properly belonging to
the estate was sold at public auction to Au

Some time later Davis ,ought greenor

iug the dut. of Corvallis from off bis feet
liu failed to render an' account of his steward

1394. !! immediately qualified and entered
upon the dischsrg of his arduous duitos.
He found tho affairs of the estate pretty badly
tan;!cd up, and only by dint cf patient, un
tiring effort was he enabled to get them
straightened out, aud into their pres. it sys
tematic shape. A portion of Mr. Wilson',
report to tho court is given below.
"I found that the former administrator H.
G. Davis, bad sold rval estate of said estate
and paid certaiw claims. The vouchers and
receipts for which aro hereto attached. : Ac
cording to tho record in said'estata there
should ha vo been in the hand, of said admin-:

of $1S3.22, but in the absence of Mr. Davis
I had to find out who e tho monay was from
other sources of information, with tho follow

"The bondman of IL G. Davis. wero j. A.
Knight, J. M. Applewhite and G. A. Wag

Corvallis, Mr. Knight had died and teemed

men becoming apprehensive that Mr. Davis
might' uot make return to the conrt a. by

J. M. Applrvrhitu, prevailed upon Mr. Davi,
to deliver tho money of s-aid estate ovorto

Straga money, taking Mr. Friendly'. receipt
therefor. This ?t50 was returned to Mr. Ap
plewhite by Mr. Friendly a short time there
after, and at the time of J. M. Applewhite',
deaih, lite whole amount of said 482.88 wa.
in his possession. Besides the po.itivo evi
dence of the books, .howing that this Straga
$-iS2.8s was in J. M. Applewhite's posses
sion at thj time of hi. death, I have infor
mation to tne effect thatj. M. Applewhite
acknowledged to parties in Corvallis, on the
day of his djth, that ho had possession of
the .Stmga raonoy, and would account for
sam i in a short lime.
"Subsequently to lbs death of J. M. Ap
ph'whi'A; his estate was admitted to probate
and a claim for 1S2.8S due tho Straga cstato
was Isle 1 with the administratrix, and duly
allowed, but up to this date tho same remains
unsati.li.rd.. 1 have frequently urged the pay-
moist uf this amount, in order that the a flans
of the said Carl Straga, might be settled up
and the money distributed to the soveral
heirs, but without success."
