"Music hath charms," etc., and this was
what reporter of this paper thought when
he was awakened from reverie by the IN
spring strains of the Portland Metropolitan
band last night. Such disturbances are al
ways welcome, and the melody will live on

man when other scenes shall have faded IN
to oblivion. "He that hath no music in
his soul Is fit for strategy ana spoils" divine
William gave utterance to in his immortal
verse, and so say we all of Us.
Albany Democrat: popularity of the
forest fires up the Santiam is the fact that
mostly old stumps and dry leaves etc, are
being burned, while the green and valuable
timber is not injured. The Democrat Is in
formed that little or no damage has been
done. It was reported that the Santiam
Lumber company had lost good many
dollars worth of timber; but MIR.
Brown, the Albany member of the company,
states that no damage at all has been done
to the company's property. The present
fire in that vicinity started from q cabin,
which was burned.
The hose tournament was the principal
excitement this afternoon, and the street in
was made, was crowded from o'clock un-
til the last race was made. First on the
list was The Dalles team, who made splen-
did time in running, but the hose burst on
them before water came at the nozzle. The r.
Vancouvers were the next in line, and
made an excellent run and also good time In
coupling and uncoupliDg the hose. Last
came the Oregon City team, and these made
good time in the run, but the coupling was
not made tight. and water did not come as
expected. The time made was: The
Dalles, l:l5; Vancouver, l:l23; Oregon
City, l:22. The judges rendered their de.
cision in favor of the Vancouver team as
the winners of the contest in the New York
test.
