Villard House in Ashes.
About 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon the fire bell called out the
department. The Villard Housa
and the building adjoining were
wrapped, in devouring flames as
the fire apparatus and heroic fire
men came on the scene. All went
promptly to work. Four streams
were soon playing on the fire; one
from Main and one from Court
street and two from the middle of
the block attacking the fire with
great effectiveness from the rear.
As soon as they had rendered the
hose companies all the assistance
possible the Hook & Ladder com
pany commenced tearing down and
removing obstructions. All work
ed in harmony and with tremend
ous effect. Good generalship pre
vailed throughout, and in a mar-
velously short time the depart
ment had the hre so
surrounded
and hedged in that danger of
spreading was not great, although
the burning district was a perfect
volcano. In three hours the fire
was
out and tho dangerous, tot-
tering walls and chimneys left by
the flames had been thrown down
by the hook and ladder company.
The Villard House was a three
story frame built in 1880 and now
owned by Dave Horn.
" The principal losers ore Dave
Horn, about $8000; insurance,

ance. Oregon at the Fair.
From. a syndicate letter printed
in a number of county-seat papers
in the middle and Eastern states,
the following extract is taken:
, Before passing judgment on the
individual state exhibits and
buildings one has to look at the
purposes for which tho dis
plays are made. For instance,
the New England states and the
old and thickly-settled districts
have erected magnificent state
buildings, which are - being main
tained as places of reception for
their own people and their friends.
These states already have as many
or more people than they want,
and hence do not make a display
with an eye to the attraction of
immigration With the new states
and more particularly those of the
Pacific coast, the situation is re
versed. Ihese 6tates invite im
migration and it is for tho purpose
of attracting attention to their re
sources, and impressing upon the
mind of tho homeseeker the fact
that desirable lands and homes
are to be had at moderate cost,
that the Western states are making
an exhibition at the fair. As
representing the states of tho West
at the "exposition, Oregon, the
land of big red apples, stands pre
eminently at the head. Although
she has no state building, Oregon
makes a magnificent showing of
her resources in the several build
Brigs of the fair. Her display in
the horticultural building is every
where acknowledged as being peer
less. Here she shows pears weigh
ing five pounds, apples six inches
in diameter, plums larger than
goone eggs, cherries 3 3-4. inches in
circumference and poaches 17
inches- In the agricultural booth
she exhibits i grains and grasses
that are acknowledged by mill
men to be without parallel. In
the flour tests made at tho fair,
flour made from Oregon wheat was
found to make whiter and finer
t.! :i .ii . ii n
uiiKiuto ui.au i.
In the mining department a mi
ituro placer mine is kept con
stantly in operation, washing vir
gin gold from the gravel just as it
is taken from Oregon's placer min
ing properties. In the fishery de
partment several tons of the fam
ous Columbia river salmon are
shown together with fishing boats,
fish-wheels, etc., and in the' fores
try department are exhibited
some specimens of timber that as
tonish the world. A block cut
from a forest of the west measures
10 feet across. This is the largest
block of wood at the fair and it
attracts much attention.
iV - Are Still At It. "
The Cree Indians are still butch
ering the inhabitants of Montana,
notwithstanding all the talk which
has been indulged in of removing
them to their own home in Canada.
The Helena Independent reports
that the entire renegade Cree popu
lation of Montana, numbering
several hundred, are celebrating
their sun dance on Milk river, and
are making the nights hideous
with their orgies. The savage
practice ; of self-torture, inflicted
with knives, sharp t tones, etc., are
highly indulged in, and their
practices and customs are revolt

Still Hunting His Child,
band of gypsies passing
through The Dalles the other
day had with them a little girl
answering the description of the
little daughter of J. W. Miller, who
was stolen from Summerville last
year. Mr. Miller is now on their
trail. After arriving in The Dalles
he made inquiries, and the descrip
tion of the little girl wasvery near

was found at the gypsy camp, near
that city. Yesterday morning be-
fore the arrival of Mr. Miller, the
gypsies left their camp near

How He Took It. "
Myers, who was tried for the
burning of the Asotin Wash., ho
tel on the 15th of April, was con
victed of murder in the first degree.
Judge Sturdevant sentenced Myers'
to be hanged by the neck until
dead. The sentence is to be exe
cuted in September. Myers took
the sentence very coolly, and while
being taken to the jail ho was
heard to say: "Hanged by the
tho neck until dead. Well, yon
old s of a , you have done
enough work : anyway." In 14
minutes after arriving at the jail
he was in bed sleeping as peace
fully as if nothing had happened.""
He was brought to the Columbia
county jail for safe keeping. A
motion for a new trial was made,
but overruled by the judge. It is
likely, however, that Mr. Godman
will carry the case to tho supreme
court. !
