Last fiundav evening at 6 o'clock p m, the hop house of Mr J a Campbell, of Camp Creek precinct, was burned to the ground and the contents contained therein, consisting f about 8000 lb of p lready dried Mr Campbell waa attending the furnace when the fire first started and when he noticed it he run up stairs and opened tSe r to enter when the flames burst upon him, burning one of hit hands and face quite badly. The gentleman wat knocked down by the flames, and by hard work managed to crawl out of danger, thereby probably saving hit life. The low, including the hops aud dry bouse, will amount to at least $3,000, upon which there waa uo Imuran e. It is the supposition that the fire caught from matches twin o-idently droped into the green hops by the Chinese while picking, and then being ignited by the intense heat iu the dry house, There was i.o chance of a spark reaching the hop from the furnace. A day or two prior to the tiro a whole block of matches waa discovered a the hopt were being emptied on the floof. Several hop bouse were burned in Washington Territory two or three years ago in the same way, and liow they furnish cit'ar lighter for smokers and prohibit ths car rying of matches by pickers. Mr Campbell bad about one half of his crop harvested, and he Is busily engaged iu saving the balance, Messrs Siler and McClean having kindly given him the use of their dry houses.

In the practice of his profession he ha always been found skillful, conscientious aud attentive, nnd his career as a i.hysician ha been marked with exceptional success in saving life and relieving the ilixtreas of the afflicted. In addition to his popularity and tncucM aa a physician he ha filled the place of a good citizen and was always found ou the right side of questions effecting the in terest and wellfare of the coiiimuiiity.
