Wilson, a business man of Portland, who made a brief visit at Salem yesterday while on his way home from California, reports that in spite of the dry weather here Oregon is still ahead of California, as not more than half a yield Is expected from any crop there this year.

IT FREQUENTLY HAPPENS That peoplo who make Individual loans are bothered in tho col lection of interest; that they often have difficulty In gottlng back the principal, and sometimes lose It altogether. Those who de posit tholr money In this bankare not thus annoyed, for here they got their interest promptly overy, six months. And bettor still, they have the satisfaction of feeling that their money Is at all times safe, and that the bank Is propared to pay back the principal when needed. Delay In Turning In the Alarm, Part ly Responsible for the Sweeping Damage Only a Few Articles of Household Furnishing and of Ap parel, Were Saved Strenuous Ef forts Necessary to Save an Adja cent Building Children Left Barefooted. Fire broke out In the house owned and occupied by W. A. Siddcns, a section foreman In the employ of the W. & C. R. railway on Hazel street. shortly after 11 o'clock this morning and the dwelling and almost all the contents were destroyed. Water wns not turned on the names until the structure was a mass of ruins. The loss will probably amount to $2000, the Insurance being Half tnai ngure. When the llames broke out two lit tle daughters of Slddens were playing in the barn, a short distance nway. They ran ncross the street to Thomas Myers" house, screaming at the top of their voices. Mrs. Myers nnd her daughter-in-law, Mrs. James .Myers, took palls of water and hurried to extinguish the tire Fire In the Attic. They discovered that tho smoke was coming from the attic, the build Inrr lielnc two stories In height, and soon located tts origin as In the vi cinity of a Hue, which was doubtless defective. They opened a closet door and the flames burst out in their faces. Seelnc they could do nothing. the two women started to remove the furniture from the building. Little Orvllle Slddens was sent to a hose house, a short dlstanco nway on Hazel street. He wns unable to ring tjie bell, being prevented by Mrs. Yates, under misapprehension of tho situation. The lad said a house wns afire, but Mrs. Yates could see no flames and was afraid a false alarm would be turned In. Earl Bush, a larger boy. followed the Ciddens boy to the hose house when the alarm was not turned in as soon as expect ed, and unheeding the remonstrances rang the bell. Few Things Were Saved. By this time the llames were burst ing "through the windows and roof of the building. A bed and some bed ding, a bureau containing the cloth ing of one daughter, who works In the local laundry, a sewing machine and a few other articles were remov ed from the building before the flames caused such Intense heat that the wo men could not endure It. Several men arrived on the scene at this juncture and one of them turned in an alarm by telephone. A bucket brigade was formed and the roof of the Myers house thoroughly wetted In order to prevent the flames from spreading. J3y the time the de partment arrived with a hose cart and turned water on the flames only a heap of burning ruins remained. The loss is said to include the insur ance papers and other valuable docu ments. Three Barefooted Children. It Is about a mile to the scene of the fire from the center of town. Every imaginary vehicle was pressed Into service and by the time the house was a total loss three or four hundred people had arrived. There arc six children in the family, and threo of them were barefooted. Their shoes and stockings w.ere destroyed by tho fire. The insurance was in tho London & Lancashlro Assurance Company, of which J. M. Bcntley Is local agent, $550 being on the dwellng and $450 on the contents. Slddens was up the railway line at tending to his work when the fire broke out. His daughter Blanche, says there was no fire Jn tho stove at the time.

Commercial National Bonk OF PENDLETON SAFE DEP08IT BOXES FOR RENT. Says the Loss to the Victoria Island Company Will Be Very Light. A. D. Stlllman, who was present at the grain fire on Victoria Island, last week, In which several hundred acres of barley was burned over, re ports that the actual loss to the Vic torla Island Company, of which hlra s.elf and Walter M. Pierce are mera- bors, will not exceed 300 acres of barley, or about 9000 sacks, on which there was amplo insurance One tenant on the island will lose about 15,000 sacks, or a total of $10,' 000, his insurance amounting to but about $C per acre. The damage to the land was nomi nal, as the fire was quickly controll ed and the peat was not Injured. The barley on the land stood about four to five feet high nnd was one of the best crops over s.een In that part of the state. Owing to tho great amount of straw, tho smoko spread over the surrounding country so densely that peoplo thought tho entire Island was devastated, nnd this resulted In exag gerated reports being sent out at first. A Temporary Widower. There is faraway look on the countenance of City Recorder Thom as Fitz Gerald theso days, all because Mrs. Fitz Gerald and family have gone to Lehman Springs for a couplo of months and the Judge Is left alono to water the lawn, build nres and Bhut up tho hen house at night. If trans gressors of the city ordinances do not get the limit now, it will be because the frown on tho court's face Is not a true Index to the court's disposition.
