While the Portland merchants are pay­ ing a great deal of attention to working up and securing a big Alaska trade, the San Francisco drummers are invading the territory of the Willamette valley and getting back the business they used to have years ago. One San Francisco drummer recently secured orders for $17,000 worrh of goods between McMinn­ ville and Eugene. San Francisco is not worrying about the Alaska trade. She know s there is something more solid and lasting nearer home. A number of Port­ land men, who used to make the val­ ley, have been taken off and sent north. D. A. Snyder of Dayton certainly has the sincere sympathy of all public spirit­ ed citizens in the loss of his fruit drying establishment by fire last Friday after­ noon. Ilis plant covered nearly a quar­ ter of a block, had grown to the dignity of employing 4»0 men, and was the pridn of Dayton and vicinity. The fire is sup­ posed to have started from the furnace. The total loss is estimated at $10,000,and is only partially- covered by insurance. Two thousand sacks ol onions, and one thousand bushels of potatoes, which were being prepared for the Alaska trade, were destroyed, as well as almost the entire product of dried fruit from last season’s crop. Uertain Portland parties were in­ terested with Mr. Snyder, and came in for a share of the loss. It is to he hoped that Mr. Snyder will endeavor tn recoup his loss by starting anew, if not in Day­ ton, in McMinnville, or lx>th, and he should have substantial encouragement in the undertaking. The Dayton Herald says ; “There ap- jiears to be general dissatisfaction as to the manner in which the murder ol George Sager has been treated by the authorities. After a long delay of appar­ ent ‘do nothing,’ by the proper officer, two voting men who were suspected from the first, were arrested, and given a trial, but it appears that the court could not gain evidence enough to hold the young taea, and they were released front custody. Those who visited the premi­ ses, and some who were present at the inquest, insist that a shrewd detective would -oon be able to ferret out the per petrators oi the crime It is the gSDCral expression tba* by letting the criminals escape without punishment, that the county encourages crime, and appatently invites criminals here. It is true Mr. Sager was an obscure and poor resident of the county, but he was hu­ man, and inoffensive, and the murder of any human should be avenged. We have officers whose duty it is to look after these matters If not, what are they paid for? In individual law mat­ ters, costs are generally piled up against defendants without any compunctions of consciences.’’ I arm Iu Trade.
