AND MRS. 6ESELBRACHT Large Number of Friends Pay Respects to Popular Family Abont to Leave Albany A large crowd attended the fare well reception to Dr. and Mr. K. ll. Gctclbracht in the First Prcibytchau church laat evening. Dr. and Mr. Gc clhraclu have endeared themselves to Albany people to uch an extent that it is with difficulty that they arc al lowed to go and they profeii the aame reluctance at leaving Albany. The field for greater service at Lawrence make ii impossible for Dr. Goclbracht lo refute the offer. Spccchet full of feeling and expres sions of regard were made by Dr. Wallace Howe Lee, Dr. W. V. White, Dr. Chas. E. Gibson, Dr. George IL Voting. Judge V. K. Kelly )n a characterist ic manner presented Mrs. Geselbracht with a Thermos bottle, stating that they were leaving a dry state lor a dryer one, and then he presented Dr. Gcsrlbracht with a beautiful Knights I rmplar charm. Mr. A. S. Hart paid a beautiful tri bute to Mrs. Getelbraciit, and George H . Crowell, upcrinlcndcnt of the Sunday tchool, apoke with favor about ' orgc Geselbracht Refrrslimcut Were served and the affair was greatl yenjoyed by all. Judge Stewart T r Us of Con ditions at Principal Spots Above Cascadia In refwn.e to many rejucts for information regarding fihing at Cas cadia and ibove. Judge C. H. Stew art hii prepared a statement which cover te ground in a thorough man ner. Under three head he quote tltr follow ing Ktshing The Santiam and its trib utaries have been very high and the fishing has not been good The wat er is now going down rapidly a rut by Augtiit if or a lew days sooner, iy i'ihiriH ougbj to be at it le -t . It streams like the Wily, Moose, and C.myoii creeks good catches are now being made, but the fish arc general ly small. Some parties have gone to 1 wt Lake, south of Upper Soda, and alo to Moose Lake, w ith splendi'l results. A good forest service trail now runs within Mi mile of Moose Lake. The fiOiin at Clear Lake could not be much better, but at Fiah Lake there i none at all, us that body of water l ow preads all over that part of the country. The melting snow keeps it hip .iinl OOfBi predict tint it will not dty up at all t o year. Roodo -The roais in as far aa Cas cadia by this time are in good con lit ion. A gang of men was put to work last week and they have been do ing fine work. Prom Cascadia to Up per Soda the road i- not so good, but fetttOi have been making the trip for IOOBC days. It must be much bttttf now. The travel from Upper Soda to the lake had been held up on ac count of a bridge being washed out near Lost Prairie, but that haa been replaced and now the trip can he ma il to the lakes without much diffi culty. Accommodations The last place where general supplies can be pur chased is at CiHcadia. I do not think board ami lodging ian be had above Upper Soda. The house at Pish Lake was entitled in by the snow last win ter, and it ia now bein repaired. Rn! a the season is so much later than Ha noi it is probable that no one will feel like operating a hotel at that point this year. FOR FIFTH CO.

Three years ago Mr. Harvey was caryinv a sack of wheat on hi shoul der while living on his ranch at In dependence, and tripped on some bal- i ing wire.

The belter the boys arc fed thv better they can fight; and the netter they can fight the sooner the war will end. It i a pat riotic duty for the entire city to at tend. Spectators will be charged 15 t ents, but the price does not limit the amount one can give. "Spec" TTrom as's orchestra wilt furnish the jazz music. The campaign to build up the mess fund of the company is gaming head way.

The regular armv mCM allowance is 29 cents a day a man. This means beans, pork, and bread; bread, pork and beans; pork. bread and bean, etc., until nothing but hard wrrk will give the boys an appetite. ith a mess iund they can have ice cream, or green fruits and vegetable- an dother things that add spice and variety to living. It will allow: them to break away from the tiresome fare of army ilfe. Subscriptions are being received at the Herald and Democrat offices and at the armory. All money will be carefully receipted for and handed to Captain Knox. Names of all donors will be published when handed to the papers. Tn other cities the largest contri butions, are coming fro mthe ladies Women are more thoughtful as a rule than men. and the good women of Eugene. Corvallis and other places arc making the dollars pour into the mess funds. Any contributions will do. Some can give 50 cents, somr $1. many will spare $2, and numbers will never miss from $5 to $50.

Here 1 Paul and Llovd Hauser, proprietors of sporting goods stores in Salem, Albany and Eugene, arrived in the city this morning to look over the damase done by last night's fire. Their store was not hurt to speak of Blaze Starts in Upper Sttry in Vacant Room; Not Thought Incendiary Fire starting at 1 .45 o'clock this morning in a back room in the sec ond-story of the Wyatt building did damage amounting tu over $Ju,(XJ. Xhrcc buildings were destroyeu, car rying a total insurance ot $!8juUJ on te property and contents. i ne lire evidently started from a cigarette stub tnrown down in a vac ant room. At l:4o Andrew Scott, mght cook in the Pullman Catc, heard what sounded like an explosion nd ran to the street, finding the buildings to the cast a mass of ilames the upper atones. the tire de partment and all ot Fifth Company, Coast Artillery, responded. Ihe greatest loss was inflicted by water on the stocks and fixture. The heaviest losers are: buildings, Mrs. S- H. Strahan of Atlanta, Ga., loss $JUUU, insurance, $2UU0: J. R. Wyatt, Port land, loss, $J0UO, insurance, $2500; J. K. Wcathertord, loss, SoUJU. insurance. $3000; Albany State Bank, loss $500. covered. Store and fixtures, Whit ney Sweet Shop, lo s, $42000, insur ance, $2000; McAlpin & bchlosser, ci gar and billiard rooms, loss $5000, in surance, $J00O; Rolfe theatre, loss $d000, insurance, $5000. Other occu pants ot the building suffered small losses. There were no occupants iu the second story oi the three build ings burned. s'ittune Mrms to be little doubt as to the origin of the fire. The upper story of the building occupied by Mc Alpin and Schlosser's cigar store was rot occupied but there have been peo I le going up stairs in spite of the protests of McAlpin and Schloiser and R. J. Whitney. The blaze evidently started in the rear of the building in which a sink is located. A toilet at the end of the hall leading to this room was bolted. A cigarette or ci gar stub dropped in some waste some time before 1:30 smouldered until it became a good-sized blaze. Then the room and that part of the building filled with heat and smoke and evidently forced its way out of the top at one of the skylights. This is evidently what Andrew Scott, night cook, heard and thought an explo sion. The buildings are complete wrecks. The roof was burned oft and caved in. In some parts the fire burned through the floor and got into the billiard room below. The entire interior of the buildings is a ruin. The Rolfe theatre, Schlosser and McAlpin and Whitney's Sweet Shop are heavy losers. Water and smoke did the principal damage to these places, but the stock and fixtures of each are almost a total loss. In the theatre was a Checkering Grand piano valued at $1500, seats valued at over $1000; $500 worth of scenery, an or Kan. light fixtures costing over $200, over $500 in projecting machine, arc lectifier eh- The theatre was vol- red at over $8000 by At Sternberg, the principal owner. The building, owned by J.xK. Weatherford, will stand a lo of $6000, with $3000 in surance. There was $5000 insurance on the theatre properties. This is the second lire within thi last few months for R. J. Whiney. He places his losses in this one at $4200, covered with $2000 insurance. He doea not expect to salvage much from the ruins. Wm. Holbrook, who has been associated with Whitney the past two months was going to take over the store next week. Schlosser and McAlpin lose more in proportion than any of the others. With a $5000 stock, with fixtures, they had $3000 insurance. The pool and billiard tables will be a total loss, practically speaking, and other parts ot the store will be beyond saving. Occupants of other buildings suf fered some loss through moving good and getting them damaged. The Al bany State Bank building was dam aged some by water and smoke, per haps, $500 in all. The Nicholls-John son building in which Hauser Bros.' store is located, was also damaged a little by water. Dr. Ellis sustained considerable loss in moving his books and fixtures, and Dr. Marshall, Dr. Littler, the dental office of Mrs. W. A. Cox also received more or lesa damage tn carting things out.
