N0.-I. of the Oreeon Law School Journal has j ust reach ed our table. It ,is edited by S. T. Richardson, dean of the Oregon Law School, and is published at Salem in the interest of the school. It is quite an attractive little jour nal and will no doubt meet wun success in its special field. Kirby MacLean, a son of Rev. C. MacLean of this city, is now at Wesiville. Placer Co., California, having gone to that pDint from Michigan Bluff, Calif, iiirby itit Corvallis directly alter his gradua tion from the O A C last June and for a time" secured work in a saw mill at Michiean Bluff. This work, however, proved too heavy for him and he went to Westville. He now has a eood situation as the engi neer of a stationary engine and re ceives $3.50 per day. nhfts. Frev. brother-in law of Geo. Armstrong of this city, will leave todav or tomorrow on his way to his home in New York City. It is likely that Mr. Armstrong and family will accompany Mr. Frey as as far as Portland. The latter is quite , well-to-do and every year makes a trip to Europe, out tniB is his first trm out West. He is the manager of the Link Belt Engineer ing Co.. of New York. It is eigh teen vears since the above gentle men had met prior lo the present visit. Bird Rickard has the contract for carrying the mail from Philomath to Dusty. Since harvesting oegan his wife has been making the trip in his nlace and managed every thing satisfactorily until Monday afternoon. Something occurred to frighten the horse and it bolted. Mr. Rickard and the mail were thrown from the vehicle and the animal nroceeded on the run to Fern, where it stooped. Mrs Rickard, although considerably frichtened. escaped with a few bruis e8 and at present is none the worse for her experience, ine venicie was pretty badly smashed up, one of the axles being broken and a wheel coming out minus several spokes. m W T W n;i'w is a c-nins in his T o . line of this there is abundant evi dence. He has recently undertak en to make an artificial arm for Gene Ireland, of Monmouth. Mr. Ireland had his arm shot off a. few years ago and Becured an artificial one. Recently he broke the one he had purchased and has not been able to find anyone competent to re pair the damage or make another that will prove satisfactory. In bis trouble he consulted Dilley, "The Fixer," and the latter has un. dertaken the task. The arm that Mr. Dilley is to make will be large ly, if not wholly, according to his own ideas and he will rig a contri vance which will no doubt eclipse the real thing in many ways. We believe that Mr. Ireland will be able to write with the arm "Thc- Fixer" will make for him. Leslie M. Mattoon, formerly of this city, was burned to death ic a fire which destroyed his home about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. The details of the af fair, as they reached Corvallis, are substantially as given by the Albany Herald: Mattoon. who Uvea at tne sta tion at Summit, and owned sev- era! hundred acres of land aaioin- ing the station, was for the first time in years conducting the farm himself the present season, and had been .with his family stopping at the farm home but a short distance from tne station during the busy season. During the past few days "he had been threshing. The dust irom tne machine had irritated the de ceased's asthma, to which he had been subject for years, and he was unable to sleep on account of the noise about the farm. Mon day evening Mr. Mattoon told his wife he would spend the tiicrht alone in the auiet of thsir home at the station, trusting that he might secure a good rest after the hard work of the day. JNotn- ing more is known definitely, ex cept that about four o'clock yes terdav morniher the Mattoon home at the station was discover ed in flames. The house was a mass of flames and it was impos sible to effect an entrance. Af terward the charred remains of Mr. Mattoon were found in the ruins of the burned building. It is presumed that Mr. Mat toon was treating himself for asth thma, the medicine requiring the application of heat. It is possi ble that Mr. Mattoon was in tne act of lighting: a lamp, or heat ing the mediciue, when he was overcome by an attack ot tne ai sease and dropped the light, set ting fire to the building. The unfortunate man almost met his death in a fire fourteen years ago. He was station agent on the Great Northern railroad in Montana, and was in a burn ing building when the ropf caved in, escaping with dificulty with a number of bad burns, the scars of which he carried during life: He was a member of. the Odd Fellows lodge at Yaquina, and his hndv was interred in the city cemetery at Albany by the lodge of that city. Mr. Mattoon leaves a father, wife and young son. subject of good readsas he'real izes their vast-importance in the I development of the country. Additional Local.

The "Maple Shade" saloon, R Woldt nroDrietor. was ournea to the ground last Tuesday morn ing. At the same time tne blacksmith building that adjoined the saloon was consumed by flames. The two buildings and stock of liquors were valued at about $,2oo.

The opinion of Mr. Woldt is that the fire was incendiary. It started from the blacksmith shop and as the building was locked, he thinks that some party broke the window on the south side ot Tr seems that timber claims and homesteads are coming more and more in demand as one year follows another. During the week Frank Spencer has been at Portland and Oregon Uity ngnt- ing, in the courts, lor a, ciaim. He has had a numDer 01 witness es down with him" and has not Wn nneasv over the - outcome. To judge from the following dis patch to tne oruana Aeiegram, claim "jumpers" are rather plentiful and in many instances are "egged on" by heavy timber land investors: . - Contests have been begun against homestead claims ot a . ... t. number ot Albany citizens, wno have filed on land in the Suetz country.
