Oregon is still ahead of California, as
not more than half a yield Is expected
from any crop there this year. FloodB,

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

Fire broke out In the house owned
and occupied by W. A. Siddcns, a

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

of their voices. Mrs. Myers nnd her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. James .Myers,

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

which J. M. Bcntley Is local agent,
$550 being on the dwellng and $450

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.

The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous liecnuseso deccp-
Uve. Manysuuucn
deaths are caused
by it heart dis
ease, pneumonia,
heart failure or
njioplexy arc often
the result of kid
ney disease. If
kidney trouble is
allowed toadvaucc
blood will at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained ouickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly yon can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver nnd bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swauin-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size tattles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Or. Kil
