A Heavy Loss to the Town-Several Build
inGs entirely Consumed.
AT half past four Tuesday afternoon
Mayor Couch received telegram from
the mayor Of Rochester, stating that the
town was In danger OF being consumed hy
fire and requesting that the fire depart
me1t be sent TO their aid
Chief Hackenberg was notified and
within thirty minutes, through the
promptness OF the Big Four officials, the
men and apparatus were on the ground at
Rochester. They found the east side OF
the town in blaze. The fire had origin
ated in the third story Of the Hotel De-
Hackett and, owing to heavy gale OF
wind from the southwest, the pail brigade
was powerless to stay the flames.
The heat was so intense that it was
feared that the peoples store building
situated across the street would have to
60, but the pail brigade made 2 second
rally and saved it. The following build
ings were entirely destroyed on the east
side of the street; Hotel De Hackett, barn
and Ice house, insurance $25O0 on build
ings; Mrs. Flora Sheets dwelling, Insured
for $500. The family had just vacated the
building on Monday. John Robishaw

ing, insurance not reported on store. The
stock Of goods belonged TO Robert Potter
aud was insured for $4OO. A barn belong
ing TO W. Crandall, situated across th,
Big -Four track, was burned. There wa
no insurance upon it. The fire depart
ment arrived just in time to save all tn,
buildings in row on the south side Of III,
railroad, except Crandall's barn. The boy
worked like heroes and deserve grea
credit for their promptness in leayln

The Arnold Case.

The jury in the Arnold case, after three
days of deliberation, was unable TO agree,
hence the state has failed to make case
against the accused. So far as We have
been able to learn, majority Of the peo-
pie in this place believe him to be guilty,
but the jury heard.a Of the testimony
and four OF them took different view Of
the matter.
In the Garrett trial In Medina county
the evidence was no stronger than in this
case and verdict Of guilty was rendered.
No one saw Mrs. Garrett kill the girls and
no one saw Mr.. Arnold kill his wife.
There is not likely to be another trial
Of the case.

WHO is THE MANI

We are pleased to notice by the doz.
ems Of inquiries daily reaching us from
Clatsop county farmers that there is q
growing spirit of progression among
them, and that their attention is turn
ing towards fruit and mop culture, and
several other innovations, all of which
are feasible and remunerative. It
seems quite within the bounds of prob
ability that within the next five years
our county will rival any other por-
tion of the state in the quality of its
fruit products. There is no reason why
It shouldn't. We have the best Innate
for agricultural purposes and the fin
est soil in oregon, and a hardwork-
ing and saving population. The one
thing lacking is the means of getting
produce to market. Our county roads
are in a disgraceful condition for
eight months out of every twelve.
If the county court had half mill
ion dollars at its disposal tomorrow,
and the question arose whether it
should be sunk in the building Of a
railroad line or the improvement Of
Clatsop county roads, The Astorian
would advocate letting the railroad
60 and building up the best system Of
county thoroughfares on the Pacific
&C asst. Their Importance cannot be
overestimated. They are to the pros
poets Of the farmer what the arteries
are to the human body, and the soon
er we improve them the sooner. will
we reach prosperity. Here is matter
that calls for action. Isn't there a
farmer big enough and self-rellant
enough in Clatsop to shake off his
sloth, go out among his neighbors,
call meetings, organize road leagues,
and thereby leave name of which
any man might be proud?
We pause for a reply.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

When a bank resumes business, the
effect is wholesome, showing as 1t
does, that the previous suspension was
due more to unusual stress of finan-
cal weather than to an inherent weak
ness in the institution itself The en-
couraging outlook moves Comptroller of
the Currency Eckles to say that while
lie would not predict how long 1t
would be before matters resumed their
normal condition, he believed that
the bottom had been reached, as far as
the banks were concerned, and that
financial affairs were on the up grade.
This statement comes from q man
who is in position to know what he
is talking about, and his words will
aid in the process Of restoring conf
dence, which is now making gains
every day.
Still another good sign is that the expi-
ration of the thirty-day notices which
were given by some depositors in a
number of savings banks, finds the
persons who gave the notices in a
very much altered state of mind. The
presidents Of all the leading institu-
tions state that less than ten per cent
Of those who notified their repositories
of an intention to draw their money
have adhered to their intention. In
fact, since a week after the memoir
able scare. depositors have been Wis
iting the banks for the purpose Of can
ceiling the notices previously given.
Any reference to the improved con-
dition of the banks should also in
clude congratulations for the officers
of those local institutions which have
maintained such an excellent standard
during the financial troubles which
have afflicted the country during the
past summer The Astoria Nationa,
the Astoria Savings Bank, and
the First National of this city, have
been of lnestimable assistance to
Astorlas business men, and the fact
that they have stood the strain sue
cessfully shows that the officers have
managed their Institutions with wis
dom and in an honest and conserva-
tive manner.
