Dr. G. S. Wright and wife leave to-

Wednesday afternoon a small house on 4th
street owned by S. J. Ncwsom, formerly
of Shcdd, was discovered to be on fire. An
alarm was immediately given and in less
than live minutes the Tire company was
out in full force, ran two blocks and had a
stream playing on the building. When
the fire was readied it seemed the entire
building was enrapped in flames, but a
steady stream of water soon put out the
blaze, and in about three minutes the fire
was under control. .. .Ranchmen through
out the country are Into the midst of thetV
hay harvest, and as a rule report a fair
yield. Early rye, which was too far ad
vanced to be benefitted by the rainsinjune,
is turning off about half a crop, while late
rye, timothy and natural meadowsare turn
ing off a heavy crop. It it safe to estimate
that the hay crop in Crook county will be
one-third greater than it was last season.
The grain crop bids fair to be an average
at least, and from the present outlook there
will be enough raised in Crook county to
supply the local market, which has not
been the case for the past two years. He-view,
The Scio Branch. County Surveyor
O'Conner and City Surveyor Barr, are
back from Scio, where they have just com
pleted a preliminary survey for the pro
posed branch road fiom the Narrow
Gauge to that city. Mr. Barr Informs us
that the branch will be 4200 feet long and
the estimated cost of the work to be done
by the citizens of Scio will be $1800. No
formal contract has yet been made between
the citizens of Scio and the railroad com
pany, but one will be made at an early date
in all probability A meeting for the final
consideration of the matter will be held in
a few days. The people of that city arc
alive to their interests and will certainly
take advantage of such an easy opportun
ity to get a railroad.
See Them. School teachers have been
passing through Albany every morning
on their way home from San Francisco.
A gentleman who came through a few
days ago says there were universal exclam
ations of pleasure on passing from Califor
nia Into Oregon, from the dry sultry at
inosphcre of that State into the refreshing
cheerful Oregon climate. Friday morn
ing about two hundred of the teachers will
go through the city, and it will pay our
citizens to be at the depot nndsce how the
average Eastern school ma'am looks.
"Common Sense." Mr, William Crain
started across the river this morning with
his threshing outfit. The thresher is ca'lcd
the "Common Sense," and is one Mr.Crain
manufactured himself, though he has the
use of only one arm. It is said to work
remarkably well. On account of its great
length it attracts considerable attention.
Seme who saw it wondered if the wheat
would come out the same day it went In.
They may be assured that it will and
about a thousand bushels of it. According
to the slang expression, "It gets there all
the same.
The Time of the Year. This is pecu
liarly the time of the year when a large and
highly respected element in the community
Imagine that they know all about hunting
and fishing, and getting together a few old
traps, start for the mountains, where they
live on half cooked food and jamb them
selves up generally just in order to get a
little recreation. We are in favor of the
program too.
A Pension. The senate committee
has reported favorably on the application
of William Meyers, of tills city, for a pen
sion. The cause given In the dispatches
is total disability. Mr. Meyers is a hard
working, deserving man, and Ills friends
here will be glad to see him get his share
of the surplus.

TIIK OKKIiON PACIFIC.
It is very evident something is forming
shape in reference to the Oregon Pacific,
and we may expect at no distant day to
hear news that may startle 11s. The dis
patches of yesterday state that the late
presence In San Francisco of a party of
Chicago & Northwestern ollicials, and
Chicago capitalists has caused much talk
in railroad circles. The party arrived there
on Monday of last week, in the directors'
car of the Northwestern, and after staying
only a clay came north, first to Woodland
then to Ked Bluff, then to Maryvillc, and
now, it is understood they are somewhere
in Oregon. M. M. Kirkman, comptroller
of the Northwestern, is in charge of the
party With linn, among others, are V.
W. Foster, William lllanchard, M. W.Kirk,
W. T. Kirk, John B. Kirk and A. McNally.
All hat. from Chicago. It is stated that the
party will come north to Albany, and
thence travel oer the proposed route of
the Oregon Pacific, In which company cer
tain directors of the Northwestern are in
terested. Now, if this means anything it
means that the Northwestern Kailrcad
Company is going to take a hand in the
completion of the Oregon Pacific, as it
must be evident that they see the necessity
of pushing the road through to a connec
tion with their road at Boise City in order
to form a transcontinental line.
Rki Paint. This morning a warrant
was issued in Justice Brink's Court for the
arrest of five young men, to-wit : Sid
Ennls, who has just been liberated from the
county jail, Harry Clark, the driver of the
Rus6 House bus, Williams, Ben
Johnson's striker, and Bill Eddy and Frank
Welch. The complaint was made by Mr
Pfau, which means Peacock in English,
proprietorof the Star Brewery. It sec.tis
that these young men were painting the
town red generally. In the course of their
big job they went to the Star brewery just
as Mr. Pfau blew the lights out. They in
sisted that he open again so that they could
get some beer ; but this Mr. Pfau refused
to do, when they became hilarious, and at
tacking the building, Don Quixote like,
demolished several panes of glass and fled.
Brave youths, 'tis thus they endeavor to
paint their names on the scroll of time that
future generations may know of their ut
terly useless lives. Williams, Clark, En
nls and Eddy were arrested by Deputy
Marshal Hayes and Constable WestfalL
The first two plead guilty, and were fined
$19 and costs. Williams went to jail and
Clark made arrangements for paying his
fine. On their statement that they were
the only guilty parties Ennis and Eddy
were discharged and the complaint was
withdrawn against Welch. It is probable
that all ox them had about an equal share
in the disturbance but this was the cheap
est way out of It.
Amazing. "The Willamette valley is
the Lcatest natural fruit ceuntry In the
world," said a gentleman to a Salem report
er, who has just returned from California,
and who always knows what he is talking
about. "While I was in San Francisco I
took particular care to examine the quality
of the various specimens of California fruitf
and I unhesitatingly say that in prunes,
plu.-ns, winter apples, Bartlett pears, and
cherries, Oregon is far ahead of her south
ern neighbor. Our peaches and grapes
cannot equal theirs. California fruit ma
tures a montn earlier man ours, and in
that has an advantage over us, as it of
course commands a higher price then
than at any other time; but when Oregon
fruits are in market they will command a
sale anywhere. Californians are simply
crazy on the fruit question, and it is amaz
ing that the fever has not already spread
to Uregon." we tlilna, tne gentleman
was mistaken in reference to peaches. In
everything but grapes and oranges there is
hardly a comparison between the states,
and It Is anout time tne lever struck- us.
A Genuine Fact. The publisher of a
newspaper has one thing to sell, and one
thing to rent. He has the newspaper to
sell and the space in the columns to rent
Can any one inform us why he should be
expected to give away cither one or the
other? He can do so if he chooses, and he
does, as a matter of practical fact, furnish
a great deal of space rent free. But it
does not follow that he ought to be ex
pected to do it. It ought to be recognized
as a contribution exactly as would the (riv
ing away of sugar or coffee by the grocery
man. But strange to say it is not looked
upon in that light at all, yet everybody
knows that the existence of a newspaper
depends as much on the rent of Its space
and the sale of the paper as the merchant's
success depends on the sale ot ms goods
instead ot giving tnem away. ex.
A Celestial Row. Last night was an
excitimr time at "Urn's" Chinese den on
Ferry Street. The Celestials were gamb
ling for big money. One little fellow lost
In a slnirle Greenback in a game. In
stead of giving it up he put It In his pocket,
when the wildest scene imaginable follow
ed, and It looked as If "Sullivan," the big
gambler, who had won It, would eat him up
nt one time. Thcv iambed and crowded

Into the street in the confusion. Here the
iittin (..11r.w mnnaued to slip away and left
Iip mnwr In Mr. losenh's safe so that it
rmihln't be taken from him. The Celcs
tial was arrested this noon, on t ie charge
of larceny, and will be tried to-morrow at
1 o'clock, How would it have done to
hnve called it iramblinz and arrested the
whole outfit.

Binding Twine. Stewart & Sox, this
season have sold 60,000 pounds of binding
twine, nearly all of which was the manilla
twine. In addition to this they have just
received 5000 pounds more, all they could
secure. This twine is more expensive
than the common hemp twine, but the fol
lowing from the scientific American shows
that K is cheaper In the long run : "The
manilla hemp twine Is a little more expen
sive than sisal, but it is said, to go further,
nni in he actually cheaper to use. because
it is stronger and more durable, and does
not have the breakages which occasion a
loss of time in their repair." It takes one
and a half to two pounds of twine, or about
1200 feet to the acre, so tne amount needed
can easily be figured out. The amount in
the hands of this firm will not nearly
equal the demand.
