HOP HOUSE BURNED.
Lots $3,000.
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. His neigh
bors and friends throughout the county tviu
pethlze with hira in his hard luck, aud wish
him better aucoeat in the future.
Located.
Dr A W Prather, late of Llneville, Iowa,
hat concluded to locate in this city, and it now
prepared to attend all professional calls. He
it a man of much experience in medicine, and
comet well recommended from the East We
clip the following from the Lincville Iowa
Tribune, concerning the Doctor' departure
from that city. It it certainly an excellent
recommendation:
Dr A W Prather bid eood bv to his family
and frienil here on Tuesday aud took his de
parture for Monroe county, this slate, where he
is to join a nuulier of his relatives ami start
for Oregon on next Monday. The people of
this town and oomm-jnity regret to part with
Dr Prather and a general hope is expressed
that he will return in due time ami again fill
the place left vacant by his departure, lie
baa lived here since March loth, lMt, and ha
gained an honorable place in the affections and
esteem of the people. 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. We
take pleasure in recommending him to the peo
ple of any place where he may cast his lot. as
an experienced, skillful and siircesxful physi
cian and a man iu every way worthy of their
highest confidence nd esteem.

Thk Liiich BcsINRHm.- Yi'e understand that
uu estimate having been made of the expenses
of an assignment and prel'i rrvd debt of Lurch
Bros, who recently failed in such a auspicious
manner, and by such estimate it was learned
t'-iat the creditor would net receive over three
(flits on the dollar, Lurch abandoned said idet
r.f assignment nnd allowed the firxt two attach
log creditors, G R Clirisinan and E H Luckey,
to take judgnit nts by default. The Sheriff, in
a few day, wilt a dvertise the goo Is and asset
for salt. From the aWe it would appear that
the other creditors will far baHy, as the as
set will i"t more than pay the creditors aliove
named. Ft 11 the penitentiary will stare Aaron
in the face.
It's a Dot. John Rhinchait it one of the
hapuiest men in Oregon, and his friends are

Petty Thikve'-. We would caution our
citizen to bo on the lookout for petty
thieves during the fair next week, as a cer
tain percentage of thieves will be here from

likely lo be on hand, and we Mould ak our
othcer to arrest the hrst one carrying ou
any of their devicet to rob the uuwary titi
zen.
A RltESTEt), Sheriff Campbell arrested one
J H Pennington at Crtaswell, last Thursday,

Correct Idea. A crowd of yonni folk

yesterday, where they picked hop all day.
Some sense in tucb a picnic ,
Hop. Picking is progressing rather tlowly
on account of scarcity of LaoiU. Th recent
