The total loss is est i anted t 10,000, Avery small an.ownt of insurviioo Was carried, the rate being prohibitive t7..r4J on the hundred dollars. The fire is mpposed to lwvo ori? inatedinthe renr of Richardson saloon. Jiwt how, i it tnyst?ry,but it is supposed Ut have been of in cendiary origin. Wry little of the household or other ('fleets escaped the flame. So far a we have learned the osses wore about $40,000 as follows: M. C. Gray 4,.r)00 no insurance. John McKie $1,500; ins $400. Florence (Jodfrey $2000 inuf 100i) '. A. Uichardrion, Haloon and fix tures $S0O covered hy insurance. V. II. Dolman, reidence and store building, $4.(N) ins $750.

Goode, ttorehouse $(K)0. Lope Brothers residence $000. The civic societies Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and Uathoone Sistert lost nearly all their pura- phanalia, $750. There were no casualties and no serious Occidents during the fire. Ail was done to save the town that it was possible to do. . As to rebuilding the town there is some talk of putting up a stone or brick building or two but it is more than likely that a great por tion of tho town will not be rebuilt at least not soon. Some of the heaviest loosers are unable to re build. Had it not been for the earnest efforts of the citizens, the block in which I ho courthouse is located would also have been destroyed. If this had been the case, with the de struction of Mr. Quick's abstract books, the loss to the pioperty own ers would have been irrepariable. Many important historical land marks have been destroyed with the burning of St. Helens. Build ings that were erected before their was any thought of a city where Portland now Btands, went up in smoke this morning, and their loss is far greater than can bo measured in money. ' : . . . The St. Helens Hotel, building owned by Jacob George, was built more than CO years ago, and was the fit st court house of Columbia County, the governmental seat of which St. Helens is. Later the building was used for store pur poses, and of late years has become a hotel. It was at one time con sidered the finest building in the state of Oregon. Owing to the ex treme age and approaching decay of the structure no insurance company would accept risks, and the $2000 loss of furniture and fixtures will be total.

The Uainier school board believing that clcnlincHH ih a cardinal virtue have cuuHed tho school grounds to be thor oughly cleaned, ns well as having had the buildings scrubbed and put in or der before opening school. The number of children in attendance is larger than hint ) ear and iieccumtates the employ ment of another teacher. The city council have granted tho free uso of the town hall for nchool purposes for this year, or until such time as the board can secure another building. Should the pupils increoso at the same rate for another year or so it will necessitate the building of ja uew house with about four rooms. This should be built over in tho west end of town, to accomodate tho little folk of that locality.. '. J. If. Gibson of Rainier, while work ogin a logging camp near Knappa, on Tuesday of last week, had the mis fortune to get his loft hand caught in the rigging, thereby loosing the enda of tlireo fingers ot his left hand. When his hand caught in the block his body was lifted clear and suspended in mid air fully twenty feet distant from the ground, lie retained presence of mind and signaled for the engineer to back He extricated himself from the rigging, whilo two Haitians stood by without offering to assist in any manner. Mr. Gibson lately moved frym Goblo to Kai nier and now occupies the Mitchell residence. Higginbotham, who pitched ball for the Clatukanie team during the recen'. base-ball tournament at Olats&Huie. was arrested last Saturday, at Hillsboro, and taken to Oregon City, to answer to the charge of larcency. It appears that ho made a grand stand play while pitching ball for the University-Park club, and so captivated a Clackmas young lady that sho loaned him her Match, which he afterwards refused to return to her. Verrily the ways of the grand-Btand player are the cause of much trouble. Sheridan lUce has opened out butcher shop in the room formerly occupied as ewsom's water office in Rainier. This is the third meat market fqr the town of Rainier, and is probably crowding things a little in the butcher business, but Mr. Rice, who is an old settler aud well known in the lower end of tho county, will no doubt get a good share of the town and country trade. The steamer Iralda was taken from tne roninnu-uninier run ana is now undergoing repairs, a new boiler is be' mg installed, vine new oouer win give 35 pounds additional steam pressure r, which will increase her speed about a mile or a milo and a half per hour. this will be greatly appreciated by all the river travelers. The institute programs were printed in Houlton at the Register office.- They are a fair sample of work we do hare.

James Timmony has rented a portion of his water front to Fred Tcuscher fo the construction of a wood flume and wood dock, just above Rainier. Jwteph Silvo and family returned lant iriday from a three weeks visit to the SSund couutry. The air there seemed to agree with him as he looks like ono who has renewed his youth. Tltomas Emmons has taken charge of tho west end of the YernOnia-Houlton mail route, while John Rice oppcrates the east end. CWillard Tucker, the car rier for the east end has gone to visit his parents at New Port, Oregon. W. P.

G. A. Taggart conducting the services. Interment at Hudson cemetery. George P. Rrown arrived in Rainier on Tuesday of last week, and is now in gaged as meat-cutter for his father Joseph Brown, the popular market man. Mr. Brown has the reputation of being one of tho best meat-cutters on this coast. The getting out ot stave boalts is a very particular lob. The boalts alter being cut and split in propper sizef must be covered bo as not to be exposed to the sun, as sun checks and pitch seams deeroy the use of. the bolt for stave mak ing. All bolts "must be shipped in box cars. ' The Rbgisteb man has houses to rent and houses to sell in the town of Rainier theibcst school town in the county. A house and one block, two houses and one block, and also a house and lot fox good business location. He has also two or three good locations for small fruit farms or chicken ranches. Amice bright child started to school at the beginning of the year and was placed among the little girls, but the little girls concluded that the child was in the wrong side of the house, and the teacher asked : "Be you a boy or a girl?" The answer came quickly: "I don't know, this is my first year in school." A. N. Earley who owns a ranch up at the head of Coon creek near Ver nonia, was in Houlton the first of the week.with some beef cattle for market. He reports tlie top of the ridge from Coon creek to East fork as pretty well. burned ever. He says that the fires are not hurting the green timber very much, and' burns very slowly ex cept where there is a wind-fall or a lashing. Legal enactment is suggested providing that county assessors shall furnish to tho county courts of their respective counties full lists by precincts showing the names and the total value of the property of each person, company, association and corporation assess ed. TLe court shall cause fuch lists to be published in the news paper published nerest snch pre cinct. By these means the public may know the extent of the pos sessions of all business concerns, whether corporate or individual, and with the passage of law with the requirements stated will tend to removal the general uncertainty so frequently (elt with regard to incorporated concern? and their assets. .
