The city is full of insurance men ad-
justing losses.

his row of buildings west of the Umatilla
house for temporary residence for the

It is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. Yesterday Fish & Bardon sold
twenty-one stoves, all to persons who
had lost theirs in the fire.
By mistake of the types we were
made to say yesterday that the loss of
Joles Brothers was $75, 900. The
amount ought to have been 81 800.
Joles Brothers will not open out in a
tent as they announced yesterday. They
have purchased the stock in trade of
Roscoe & Gibbons, and will be again
ready for business as soon as an invoice
is taken.
Parties who have been compelled by
the fire to change their residences would
confer a favor on many by leaving their
present addresses at the .CHKoNIcLE
office. They. will be published without
charge.
From Mr.. Farley who came up from
the Cascades to look after his property,
we learn that the cars for the portage

Monday. The locomotive is to be
shipped today or tomorrow and ought to
be here by the 14th. Everything will be
ready for the locomotive when it arrives
and Mr.. Farley expects the portage to
be ready for business by the 18th.

she has been teacher of mathematics in
the leading private school of her native
town; teacher of languages in an acad

value to pupils of the academy.
While Mr.. =. Clarke, of Snipes & Kin
ersly's, was trying to save his household
goods from the fire he came upon ham
that he found he would be unable to re-
move. The happy thought struck him
of putting it in a bucket of water and
setting the bucket out in the yard. So
when the fire had subsidized sufficiently
to allow him to approach the ruins he
found nice boiled ham cooked to q
turn.
In response to the call of M ayor Mays
