About 8:30 this morning nn alarm of
fire was turned in from box 27 uud in a
phenomenally short time the depart
ment responded. The Hook and Ltdder
Co., was llrst upon the Eccne of action,
which was the residence of Jos. YTPetere
and had their ladders placed in readiness
for immediate action when the Col u in
blaB' arrived with the chemical engine.
Fortunately the services of the depart
ment were not needed for the fire was
confined to a chimney which had be
come clogged with soot, consequently
the house was filled with smoke and the
tmimnoy became quite hot. Tho Ore in
the stove was extinguished, salt put in
the chimney und ull draughts closed
which smothered the flame and exting
uished the lire. No damage whatever
was done.
The postofllee department has gotten
tired of the system of letting "star
route" contracts to the lowest bidder,
regardless of whether the bidder knows,
by actual observation, where the route
is, what eort of country it supplies, or
anything more than that it is so many
miles long, says the Walla Wal'a States
man. It has applied to congress re
peatedly for authority to remedy this
evil, but without avail. At last u man
lias gotten Into the department who
construes existing law by the rules of
common sense, and, as a result, it lias
been decided that no star route contract
will be let to any one who lives remote
from the route, and that in future such
contracts will only be awarded to per
sons who live on or adjacent to the
routes. If this rule is rigidly enforced,
men who have been making money by
bidding for many star routes and then
sub-letting them to those who live on
the line for a few dollars less than the
price they receive, will havo to seek
other roads to fortune, and the public
will be better served.
List n'ght a rather seedy-looking in
dividual, greatly under tho Influence of
liquor, wandered In one of our lodging
houses and proceeded to make hitmclf
ut home. The first room he tried was
locked but he proceeded down the hall
and finally succeeded in finding a spare
room. Being somewhat the worse tor
wear und decidedly tired, he came to
tho conclusion that there was no place
like home, aud as his home was where
he took oil' his hat, he immediately took
charge of the apartment, not even ring
ing for ice water or a lire. However,
the proprietor of the house usually likes
to become acquainted with Ills guests,
at least to the extent of the price of the
room, so naturally he called to tee his
new roomer. When the door wae
opened the guest was found lying on the
bed with his boots on and from the
look of the covers, it had been a dark
and stormy night with him, fm, besides
tho man, mud was the moBt prominent
thing on the bed. The nigtitwatclnnan
was called and tendered the hoepitality
of the city to the etruDger. When
searched one would come to the con
clusion that he was from the south or
was going to a cake wake, for he was
found to have fifteen nizore Gn his per
son. This morning ho was brought be
fore the recorder and explained that he
had made a mistake in the section of
town he was in and that he had en
gaged and paid for a room in the East
End but could not find the place. Itel
atlve to the razore, he claimed to be a
peddler and on producing satisfactory
evidence he was fined two dollars, which
he paid and was discharged from
custody.

Not fluttering 'oureelves in the least,
we can say that we have one of the best
volunteer fire departments on the coast.
j No members of any company, in any
place, eon ui answer an alarm, uay or
night, more promptly than do the mem
bers of our different companies. As was
remarked today by a gentleman who
attended the Hie nt tho residence of Jos.
T. Peters, that tho department was all
light but they got somewhat excited.
There seems to be a great deal of good
natured rivalry between the Columbia
lose and Chemical Engine Co. and the
Hook and Ladder Co., and whenever a
josh can be sprung it is never overlooked.
This morning after the excitement was
over it war noticed that the Hook and
Ladder Co. had placed their ladders
against the building upside down. This
was tho opportunity for the Columbia's
to get in their work, so they quietly in
formed each member of the If. and L.
Co. that the tire was on the roof and not
in the basement.
However the old adage "He who
laughs last laughs best," came beauti
fully Into play when the Columbia's
tried to unreel the hose from the
chciulal engine uud found for some un
known reason, or through their excite
ment and haste, it had become tangled
and when it was being unreeled it looked
something like a long string of sausages
with knots tied at frequent intervals.
The H. aud L. Co., then came in for
then fun and asked the Columbias if
they were waiting for the second alarm,
as they were so slow getting to tho fire
and after arriving could not use their
apparatus for some length of time.
The rivalry which makes itself mani
fest at all Uresis one of the best things
that could happen to the department.
It enthuses members of dlll'erent com
panies and creates a desire to be in the
lead upon the scene of action, first for
the service that can be rendered, and
secondly for the laugh on the other
fellows.

Active, work on tho steamboats that
will be built here for the Paul Mohr
company will begin in the near future.
Captain James Cochran is expected to
return from Chicago this evening, and
as soon as he can nrrange the prelimi
naries the keel for the first boat will be
laid.
The plans have been completed nnd
Louis Paquet has made a model for one
of the boats. She will be one of thu
finest-equipped and fastest boats ever
constructed in the Northwest, nnd will
be used exclusively as a passenger boat.
The other two boats will be adapted to
the carrying of both freight and passen
gers. They will also combine speed and
comfort and will be equipped in the
latest style.
The movements of the Paul Mohr
company have awakened a deep interest
among all classes of people. Shippers,
steamboatmen and people living along
the Columbia river from the month of
the Willamette to Wenatchce nre all
interested, and they have great faith in
the completion of the enterprise.
The upper terminus of the line has
not been definitely settled, as near as
cm be learned. For three months in
the year boats can run between Lswiston
and Parco, and it is probable that the
P. M. company wilt push into that
country during the good bjating stage.
Between Riparia and Liwiston boats
run most of the year, but between
Riparia and Pasco the river can only be
navigated in high water. Telegram.
It is reported by several papers that
two steamers are to be constructed at
Portland and one at Pasco for the Paul
Mohr Transportation Company. This
news should be taken with a grain of
salt. From appearances it would seem
that this enterprise largely consisted of
a desire to create the impression that it
was in the field for business, while in
fact it was promoted for the purpose of
quick returns from a direction which
would more or lesB be effected by opposi
tion. When the Paul Mohr Transporta
tion Company rids itself of this euspicion
it will be time enough for the people and
the press to have confidence in its state
ments and movements. Up to this time
nothing has been done to merit any such
confidence. East Oregoniun.

have smirrekl our citizens to the neces

to have a scouring mill, and one up to

improvements. Mr. J. M. IJuseell, the

$5000, to be used in the construction and
