Fire at PhllOmath.

Our town was thrown into state of ex-
eitement last Monday morning about 10
clock, when it was discovered that the
house occupied by Mr. T. Little, and be.
longing to Mr.. F. NJ Carter cf the Slletz
Agency, was on fire. 1t was discovered by
Mrs. Little, and the alarm given, when
almost the entire town responded to the
alarm, but owing to the fact that strong
wind was blowing from the northwest, and
the insufficient means at hand with which
to fight the fire, it was evident that it
would be impossible to save the house, and
everyone went bravely to work and sue
Eceeded in saving nearly all of the household
effects in good condition. 1t was thought
that other houses in the vicinity would be
burned also, but fortunately they did not.
The fire originated from a defective fue.
The loss will probably amount to about
$500. This is the first fire that has oc-
Cured in our place for three years. I hope
that the city council will now see the nec-
lcessity of having some regulations in cases
of fire, as twell organized company could
have easily subdued this fire with but little
loss. ..-- f OBSERVER.

Masters. Eugene Allphin, Will Davidson,
Chas. Pratt, Frank Grubbs, and Jay Buford.

FIRE IN CORVALLIS Monday a
few minutesS before l o'clock just as the
circus band had begun their parade the fire
bell pealed forth the dreaded intelligence
that the fire fend was again in our midst,
This time it was the house of Mr.. John
Sylvester, occupied by German family
named Schimmel, who recently came to
Corvallis, and had only been occupying the
house for two weeks previous. The fire
companies responded very promptly and
by their combined and well directed efforts
did very efficient work in quenching the
flames. Most all of the household goods
were saved with more or less damage, and
$500 will probably cover the entire loss.
We understand the building was insured
for the full amount. The enterprising
ladies were prepared to receive the ''fre-
boys" on: housing their engine and carts,
with the much needed refreshments, which
we scruple not to say were highly appreci-
ated by the boys.

Our Half Sheet.

We are again under the necessity of Civ
ing our readers this week the GAZETTE
with only one-half the usual amount of
reading matter; however it will be found
that it contains the usual amount of home
news. The cause of this IS that our
patent came to us this week containing
an illegal and fraudulent advertisement,
which we will not impose upon our readers.
Trusting that our patrons will bear with us in
our disappointm ent, and believing they will
appreciate our efforts to expunge from the
columns of the GAZETTE all classes of such
advertisements, We hope soon to be able to
furnish the usual amount of reading matter.
