Captain Graham, of the Oregon
City Transportation Company,
states that as early as possible the
...
company will commence tne con
struction of a light-drait steamer,
an exact duplicate ot the one de
stroyed on the ways in Johnson's
boat yard by the fire in Portland
last Saturday night. The boat was
intended to ply between Portland
and Corvallis during the summer,
when the water gets to us lowest
stage. It was to have been put in
operation early in July.
The time is rapidly approaching
when liver traffic will cease on the
Upper Willamette. The water has
now reached a stage that renders
navigation a problem of great dif
ficulty to the steamboat captains.
On her up-riyer trip the steamer
Ruth got stuck on the Buena'Vista
bar and was obliged to return down
the river. This created sjme ais-
nmiointment and necessitated a

change of program on tne pars oi
Rome nf our neoDle. It had been
hoped that traffic on the river could

recent burning, in Portland, of the
light-draft steamer of the OCT
Co. has blasted such hope and it
now appears that we will fare much
the same during tne present sum
mer that we have in the past
However, it is only a matter of
time when boats will ply the Up

BIGGEST TI&E IN YEARS.
C E. Dinges Warehouse Banted Wednes
day Morning-Loss, $13,000.
r For the third time in the his
tory of Corvallis the ground oc
cupied by - the warehouse just
south of the S. P. depot has been
the sight of a disastrous blaze.
Years ago a warehouse standing
on this spot, went up in smoke.
A new building was erected later.
This burned to thex ground Feb.
20th, .1882, being at the time
the property of W. A. Wells.
Geo. Wren, while assisting in
removing some sacks from the
burning building, was struck by
a falling beam and killed.
The warehouse owned by C.
E. Dinges, which was built
shortly after the burning of the
Wells building, was discovered
to be in flames last Wednesday
morning shortly after 3:00
o'clock. The fire was discover
ed by August Fischer, who
phoned to the central office in
Corvallis from Fischer's Mills j
and the alarm was sounded about
3:30 o'clock. j
CapL Geo. Robinson who lives
near the depot, was probably the
first man on the scene. He had
been awakened by the light from
the flames, which were leaping
from the southeast corner of the
roof.
The first hose cart made at
tachment to the fire plug near
Dr. Cathev's residence, this be
ing the nearest to the fire. The dis
tance was about a quarter of a
mile, and the hose would not
reach. Some delay was exper
ienced in bringing up another
cart, and when it arrived and
water was secured the warehouse
was too far gone to be saved.
he firemen gave their attention
to saving the depot, cars and
ricks of wood which were scorch
ing from the intense heat.
The oriein of the fire, which
w,as the most severe in point of
oss which has occurred in cor
vallis in years, is unknown.
Besides the building, which was
valued at $S,ooo, the engine
house, engin?, boiicr and other
machinery was destroyed. In
the warehouse was stored 12,000
bushels of wheat and 2,000 bush
els ot oats. This grain was val
ued at $7240. The building was
insured for $1,500, ana the grain
for about $2,000.
Thos. Cooper owned 4650
bushels of the grain lost, upon
which he had an insurance of
$800. Other losers were, Cor
vallis Mills Co. 1850 bushels; P.
Averv. A. Wilhelm & Sons, and
,on Hawley. Mr. Hawley stored
La
load of oats in the building at
10
o'clock the evening: before
the fire.
Wednesday evening the fire
comcanv extinguished the few
smouldering embers which burn
ed throughout the day. beven
or eieht thousand bushels of
damaged grain now lies where
the warehouse stood. It js good
'or little else than hog feed.

At Work for Fair.
President W. H. We-hrung and
Secretary M. D. wisdom, ot the
Oregon State Board of Agricul
ture, were in this city Wednes
day. They are on a tour through
tl, Willamette Vallev and
Southern Oregon in the interest
of the coming state fair to be
held at Salem September 1 5-20.
The gentlemen state that the
prospects are bright lor a success
ful fair. Speaking of the matter,
the Statesman savs:
The circuit of fairs arranged
earlv in the vear will brine- out
t-
a large number of exhibitions of
live stock that will attend all the
fairs of the circuit. Several car
loads of blooded stock brought
into Oregon since the last fair
wnieoriiexlribTnonTtinSTaTr
Secretary '- Wisdom - says no
state in the Union will have a
better live-stock show than Ore
gon this year. Large sums of
money have been, added to the
premium list by both local breed
ers and the National Live Stock
Association, which shows that
Oregon is recognized by Eastern
people as a breeding state. .
The county exhibits that at
tracted so much attention last
year will be made one or the
leading features of the fair this
year, and it is desired: that no
county of agricultural pretentions
in the state should go unrepre
sented. These exhibits are what
attract the attention of the home
seeker and are worth many times
their cost to the county as an
advertisement.
