They wish to engage in the lumbering business and will spend a few days In looking up a location for a Haw mill.

At 7:30 tljis morning thu deep tones of tho alarm bell rang out in wild appeal, summoning the fire laddies to tho rear of the Columbia saloon and the Pat ton" block, where the hungry llames were rapidly con suming woodsheds and outhouses, and making frantic leaps to tho ad Joining buildings. Quicker than thought the response was made and within a very few moments a strong stream of wutcr, quickly followed by another and another, was play ing forcibly on tlio devouring tlamcs. The two engine companies and the hook and ladder boys worked heroically and had the lire under control almost at once. They suc ceeded in saying everything except tho water closets to the rear of Pat ton's block. This is where the lire orlgimted and tho buildings, being of soft wood and joining tlio old frame sheds of tlio Columbia saloon, made the progress of the conflagra tion easy. It would have been too bad had a few of tho-jo old frame buildings been destroyed. Hud it not been for the loss of goods, many would have been glad to see those shanties leveled. Fine thiee story bricks would loom up grandly on these lots. Hut, alas, the Cohiinbiasaloon was saved. The Hie had or.gin near tlio alley in theclosetsadjolnlng theColumbla Jf course there are those who think it to have been the work of an incen diary. Hut the tiro no doubt results from thecarelcss throwing of alight ed cigar stump or cigarette among the loose paper. In such a place, accessible to tho public, tho break ing out of a fire Is no surprise. Tho deadly cigar stump Is, no doubt, responsible for tills lire. l'olk'H New Court Hondo. Yesterday was tlio day set by the Polk county commissioners for a llual disposition of the petition for and tho remonstrance against the building of ii new court house at Dallas. On the part of tho remon strants Judge Hurley pleaded for more time in which to investigate doubtful cases. After consultation tho court decided that M.M.Ellis and Judge Hurley should each select assistants and meet at Dallas MondayJand proceed to strike out all names thai they can agree upon as legal voters, and to made a noto of all doubtful cases to bo pre sented to the court Thuisday for a iiual determination. The court an nounced that both parties must then bo ready, us no further delay would bo allowed. Arbor Day In Salmi, The elements wero rather opposed to tho observance of arbor day in Salem to-day, hut nevertheless tho Indoor exercises, as published in tho Jouhnai. last evening were performed. Tho literary exercises wero instructive, entertaining and caluculatcd to instill into tho minds of tlio scholars a reverence for tho uiouarchs of the forest. Tho performance which was to liavo taken place upon tho ground had to bo given up, hut tlio main auditor ium was occupied and tho literary part of (lie program was enacted. Had tho weather remained pleasant tho afternoon would have been happily spent In tlio outdoor air. A Secret DUcoimy. Tills morning a gentleman at the depot, who from appearance must bo a miner, had In ids possession a specimen of mineral which ho claims to have discovered in largo quanti ties, not far from Salem. Tho find, ho Hays, is a very rich copper, silver, and gold, deposit. Upon bolngques tloued by a reporter, lie refused to locate tho discovery. He purchased a ticket for Turuerand said ho would return to Salem In a day or so and give full information in relation to Ids new mine. Mining speculators will await ills return with anxious anticipation. .Mole MitUau Sloiuj.
