A youngster fishing off the Regulator
pier yesterday fastened a. large salmon
on his hook, but as he wasn't after such

Three old death traps collapsed last
night in Portland and killed several per-

sills and high water. 1t came SO sud-
denly that people were taken without a
moments warning, and lighted lamps in
the various places set the wreck on fire.
Eighty firemen worked for two hours,
besides volunteers, saving several lives.
The buildings were located on North 1st

Mr.. George Riddall takes issue with
those who say that crops are not good
in this county near the Columbia river.
On his ranch in Coiumbia precinct he
has as good a crop as he ever raised and
more hay on less. ground than he ever
had. He says the Cooper place on Ten
Mile has the best crop ever raised on it,
and possibly the same is true of the
Southwell, Floyd, seufert and Cushing
places. O'Neil on Ten Mile has the
best field of wheat Mr.. Riddall ever saw
in Eastern Oregon, while Fulton, Will
helm, Decker, and others in that neigh
borhood have all good crops. All these
good crops are on hill or bench land as
dry as any other in the country.
