Mrs. Anderson, who was arrested yes
terday charged with the theft cf a watch,
had her examination before Recorder
Sinnott, Mr. F. W. Wilson appearing for
her. The evidence failed to'substantiate
the charge, and she was promptly dis
charged. The weather forecast for tomorrow is
fair and warmer. This is getting decid

L. E. Moe, who leturned to Albany
from Yaquina bay, bays that the people
of Newport had rare sport one day last
week attacking a 100-foot whale, which
swam into the bay and lashed the placid
waters into a foam. Several riflemen
emptied their magazines at the monster,
but the fusillade made no impression
upon the huge leviation of the deep, and
it swam out to sea again, disporting for
hours In sight of an admiring crowd.
The poem which appears in this is
sue is a very fetching bit of rhyme. It
was written in a fit of chagrin at Pague's
unwarranted job lot of weather, but in
less than an hour the weBt wind started
to blowing gently, and while it has not
reminded one of a refrigerator this after
noon, yet the improvement was great.
We always knew the power of poetry to

everybody made the best of the situa

BIG FIRE AT ELGIN.
One
Block On the Principal Business
Street Is Svept Away.
A fire at Elgin this morning consumed
all the buildings except one on the block
on the north side of Main street from
Becker's saloon to Fine's livery stable
Particulars of the fire were brought up
by Charles Palmer, W. H. Halgarth and
Oliver Halgarth. The fire broke out in
Becker's saloon and was discovered by
Oliver Halgarth at about 12 :30 o'clock,
ut in what manner the fire originated
Is as yet unknown. The flames rapidly
ipread down the street and burned out
he following business places: Becker's
aloon, Payne's shoe shop, Wm. Ezell's
lding, Postoffice, White & McLeod's
othce, livery stable, Garrett & Hal
arth's blacksmith shop and the city
ail. There was but one building on the
block, a residence building belonging to
R. C. Mays, which escaped destruction.
The people were quickly arouBed by
the alarm of fire and worked the best
they could to stop the destruction of
property. Most all of the contents of
the buildings were saved. One of the
heaviest losers is Wm. Fine, proprietor
f the livery stable and meat market,
rtho bad no insurance. It is stated
that there was insurance of $500 on the
saloon building, also eome insurance on
AVm. Ezell's house.

A PUBLIC PETITION.
For heaven's sake, Pague, won't you please to
let go,
And order us frost, sleet, hail, ice and snow?
Won t you stop getting weather from over the
Styx.
The thermometer from reaching 106?
Won't jou turn your old wind gauge around to
the west,
And give us a sea breeze, and also a rest?
Turn your eyes from the skies you bo knowingly
scan, ,
And wait us a breath from the isles of Japan.
Webfooter and bunchgrasser swear and perspire
As the mercury races up higher and higher,
With its safety valve locked. Is it never to stop?
Or shall we forever sweat, sizzle and mop?
Ohl Pague, we beseeca you, catch on to the
weather,
And don't broil us all on your gridiron to
gether! Relent and repent, and f r im off the coo I seas
Give us a breeze, Pague! Give us a breeze!

gives a very good reason for the preva
lent demoralization in the salmon mar
ket. "The season for canning the 'sockeye'
or red salmon, haa just closed on the
sound and 310,000 cases of that species
have been packed there. The fall fish is
ow beginning to run, from which I ex
ect and equally large result." said Mr.
lyers.
"The pack on the Fraser river will be
greater than in any proceeding year.
The canners there are preparing to pack
1,000,000 cases before the whole season
is ended.
"The runs on the Skeena and Nasa
rivers do not come up to expectations,
but the deficiency there will be compen
sated by the Alaska product."
Mr. Myers did not venture to peer into
the future condition of the market this
year; but it stands to reason that there
will be no firmness in it. Instead of
being handled as a staple product,
without much fluctuation, as heretofore,
tbia year's catch will be a speculative
article with which jobbers are likely to
overstock themselves.
A Somerville woman who was per

St. Mary's academy for ladiea, located
in this city and under the direction of
the Sisters, is one of the best educa
tional institutions on the coast. The
building is of brick, large and well ven
tilated. Besides the regular studies,
especial effort is made to instil into the
minds of the pupils a desire to form
their hearts to virtue, and to fit them to
be true and noble women. Gratuitous
lessons are given in all kinds of plain
and fancy needle work, knitting, em
broidery, etc. Pupils will receive the
same watchful care that would be given
them by conscientious parents. It is in
fact an ideal school and a pleasant
home. Those who have girls to send to
school should write to St. Mary's acad
emy for terms.
