An old fireman of Maine gives th.o following to one of the papers of that State: One gallon of water at the bot tom of a fire will do more good to, luench. it than ten gallons at the top. Play low is the true motto for the fire man. If the first engine that reached, the Summer street fire in Boston, had burst into the warehouse and played into the goods elevator where the fire broke out, it would probably have saved fifty millions of dollars. To play on the roof of a house on fire is to waste wTater; the roof ?as made to ehed water; the rain does not put out the kitchen fire, nor would the river, flowing bodily on the roof put out the kitchen fire. Play low, get the water to the fire, and you need not pour out the river. A few gallons at the bottom of a fire will rise in clouds of steam when the lire is rising, and will quench it. Even a heap of rubbish turns rain and water like a partial roof. A gill of water thrown into the bottom of a grate equals a quart thrown on top, For a similar reason water on the windward side is more effective than, vn the leeward. I am speaking now of a moderate fire, when there are only one or two houses burning. The big blaze on the leeward looks fearful, but they cannot be effected by playing on them. Throw your water into the bed of coals under the retort that is suck ing them and it will go out; that is to say, play at the bottom of the wind ward side of the fire, and you take the surest and speediest way to quench the whole, leeward side blazes in cluded. Progress at The Dalles. Inland Empire. Notwithstanding the immense amount of building done in this city during the past year, there seems to be no flagging in the good work, in spite of all the cold weather. K. B. Sinnott, of the Umatilla house, is hav ing his residence transformed into, & two-story house, from a story and a, half. The Moabus house on Second street, which will contain twenty ele gant sleeping apartments, will be com pleted about the first of March. Ben Korten is putting up a saddlery store on Fourth street for Bloc; & Depuis. Parties from below comtemplate erect ing a hotel between our office and that of the Mountaineer, to be three stories high and covering a ground surface of 100 feet by 30. Also we loarn that as soon as Handley & Sinnott's lease of the Empire hotel expires, the old and popular landlord Thomas Smith will return here and tear it down to make room for a new and elegant hotel building. Good mechanics will find plenty of work here, during the com ing season. As the times are hard in Europe, it is probable immigration to the United States during the next few years will be larger than usual. Our home markets have become so important that many manufacturers in Europe are in clined to remove to the United States and establish themselves here. There seems no doubt now that we are about to enter upon a prosperous era, which Oregon will also enjoy as soon as we can put a jstop to the Chinese plague. The Peoples' protective transpor tation company have sold their steam ers S. T. Church and McMinnville to the Willamette locks and transporta tion company, and are now closing up their affairs. ;?5&The free lands of the west arc heiug taken up and settled this year to a degree most gratifying, in the face of the over-crowded mechanical depart ments of metropolitan life. Several mil lions more acres of homesteads have been entered for settlement at the var ious land offices this year than in 1876 and 1877, and still the western movement continues in force, And this is the only solution of the labor troubles. Let the unemployed come and bsaomelprouucers instead' of consumers. r Cherotoer of Commerce at Astoria, liegiilar meeting every 1st and 3d Monday of each monlh.T B0 WLBY. PrCsident.
