During the first of the week the announcement of the burning of the Coast Range Lumbering Co. '8 mill at Fall City, Polk county, reached this citv . According to information the mill was burned Sunday night and was totally destroyed. Its capacity was somewhere from 20 000 to 35,000 feet of lumber per day and it was a total loss. The details are meager, but it is said the loss is estimated at about $10,- 000. The origin of the fire is un known. We are iniormed that some of our citizens were interested in the company: At the time it was destroyed it was under the manage ment of Mr. WatkinB & Son.

Gene Simpson, one of our most enthusiastic chicken fanciers, states that for seven months during th past year he averaged $62 50 per month on chickens.

Greffoz, just back of his jewelrv store. 1 he baker at Grant Elgin's bakery discovered the blaze and an alarm was sounded. The fir -was extinguished before any par ticular dimnge resulted. Mr. Greftoz is positive that this is the woik of an incendiary, and, indeed, tne-state of affairs seem to warrant this opinion In the woodshed two or three cans of asphalt were stored and-dost to these cins"soine person had aced tnree bottles that had evidently contained kerosene. These bottles of kerosene had been wrapped with gunny sacks, saturated with the oil, and set on fire. Whoever the incendiary was, he evidently : thought the asphalt to be tar, and figured on hot fire in a very short time. But asphalt will not burn until t becomes very hot: as it was, the cans of asphalt got so warm that they were boiling over when discovered. This case is similar to that of ast fall when the woodshed of E. R. Bryson was set on fire. In the case of Mr.V Bryson it was a woodshed, as in this event, and everything- indicates that both fires owe their origin to the same artist. Extraordinary. . . ... Announcement Married. N. F.

He went to Portland, Wednesday to enter upon his duties ; in his new held Corvaiiis is 1 Vic's" boyhood home and he has many friends here who regret that he has taken his depart ure but who wish him every success. Now that the Brick stable has been purchased by Mr. , Lafferty anl toe general understanding is that it is to be converted into first-class store building, why could not some person ot means be per suaded to undertake some business on the vacant lot just north? If good business building was erected on the lot it would make a gr jat improvement in the appearance of the business part of the city and is a good place for business as well. A. B.

Curtis, of Cheney, Wash., under date of Jan. 27th, writes quite an interesting communica.- tion to the postmaster at Monroe, this county. It seems that sev eral years ago a copper gun bar rel was found on the banks of the Long Tom river and much comment and discussion relative to the relic ensued. - Following is a copy of the letter which Mr. Curtis addressed to the Monroe postmaster: Dear Sir: Several years ago I saw published in the Corvaixis Gazette that some one had found a copper gun' barrel three or four miles' from Monroe, on the Long Tom river. I can give the history of the copper gun barrel. It was a flint lock and the rest of it is in the vicinity where the barrel was found. It was lost ia 1835, or worn out and thrown away. If you' can find the person who has the bar rel and send it to the Lewis . and Clark Fair, I will write the his tory of the copper flint lock and send it to the possessor of the barrel. It would be a great relic. , . . -y'r.' We are iudebted to Fred C. Peil, assistant postmaster at Mon roe tor the information as per above paragraphed. Beyond doubt if the barrel was placed" on exhi bition at the exposition, accon panied bv the history connected therewith, it would be of great interest to many. Who's got the barrel? .
