FIRE Az THE SAW MILL
Capital Lumber Co. Loses Its Engine
House.

Capital Lumber Co. Loses Its Engine
House.
Late Tuesday afternoon occurred
what might have proven disastrous
contlagration to the plant of the Cap
ital Lumber Company located on the
Water Front at the foot of Ferry
street. Fortunately the wind came
from the northwest which, with the
heroic work of the firemen, was all
that saved the main building.
Work in the saw mill discontinued
yesterday morning indefinitely until
necessary repairs could be made to tho
engine. 1t is supposed that during
the temporary absence of the nechan-
ics from the engine room about 5I5
O'Clock i'm the afternoon, that spark
from the engine fell upon the saw
dust beside the machine and in a few
moments the engine room was envel-
oped In flames. An alarm was turned
in and the fire department turned out
promptly and soon had two streams
playing on the fire which extinguished
the threatening flames in short
time. The old Silsby engine was
used, and from the faultless work per-
formed by her yesterday afternoon, it
is an evident fact that her DAYS Of
active service are not yet over. The
fire boys did excellent work, again
that Salem has a fire
of whom we may feel
proud. Effective work was also
exercised on the part Of the employees
Of the mill, with their fire apparatus
in fighting the fire from the main
The sawdust about the
yard also was ablaze, but was put out
lt length.
For several minutes after the fire
had started, the onlookers kept dis
lance from the engine house, fearing
the boiler would explode, but fortu-
nately the safety valve was open, and
this danger was evaded.
During the fire the employees at the
Salem FIGURING Mills, brought their
fire apparatus into effective service,
safety of their warehouses,
ETC., might not be impaired.
The engine house is almost entirely
ruined, but the machinery contained
within was not damaged TO any great
.xtent. The entire plant is insured
'or $1,000, but the loss cannot be esti-
mated until MIA. N.Moores, manager
II the mill, returns. Mr.. Moores has
Ieen enjoying an outing on the Luckia-
mute, and has been Informed OF the
'onhagratlon. He Is expected home

shortly after II o'clock last night
Charles, Mrs. Smiths 10 year old boy,

ance about the building. In order
that he might ascertain without Il

some one to effect an entrance
through the front door but
this being securely fastened, the
Would-be house breaker next attempted
to raise a window, but this attempt
also proved futile. The party then
went to the rear Of the building, and
commenced operations. Being salts
ned that some one was trying to break
into the house, Charles made his exit
from the front door and went to the
nome of a neighbor, A. Olinger, the

few minutes later Charles returned

A New FLOWER. During the past
summer the Willamette University
campus has been one garden Of beau
tiful wild flowers the beauty OF which
have frequently been discussed by
passer-by. A new flower known as the
MeDhitis, has recently put in an ap.
pearance, the superb quality Of the

evidence in the surrounding atmos-
phere. Many Will no doubt fail TO re-
cognize the flower by sight but they
will easily distinguish it from the
other flowers by the peculiar odor
which IL emits.

IN AN osrR1cH's STOMACH.

When an ostrich dies an autopsy has
to be performed-that is the only OPP
portunity given to discover the posi-
bilities Of the digestive organs. Goats
have been known to swallow the pro-
ducts Of canning factory and live
beyond the period allotted to man, but
just why an ostrich should ever die has
been a mystery TO students Of natural
history.
The pebbles that Thumbling fed to
the giant we're as nothing when com
pared with the things that an ostrich
will eat. and it has been told. but with
how much truth it is impossible to de-
termine. that ostriehes have been
known to swallow whole sections OF
barbed wire fence and still enjoy hap
py existence.
However that may be- the numerous
things that have always been known to
exist in the small boys pocket nave
been cast into the deepest shade OF their
receptacle by the discoveries that were
made by the autopsy that was per-
formed on one of Barnum Bailey's
ostriches that died Friday in the Cen
trail Park Zoo.
The ostrich was dissected and its
stomach examined by J, R0wiey. the
taxidermist of the museum who, for the
advantage of science and the discom-
fiture Of the incredulOus. has made the
following list of the larger undigested
articles which he discovered:
One wooden clOthes-pin.
Two pieces of glass-the bottoms Of
beer bottles.
One mouth harmonica, five inches
long by two inches wide.
One metal skate key.
The fer1ule Of an umbrella, with a
piece of the handle in it about four
inches long.
A lady's comb.
Lady's silk handkerchief with the in
itial M"
Two pieces Of coal, each about an
inch thick.
Three stones, each about an inch
thick. together with some cabbage,
grass, lettuce, celery, common dirt, and
a few minor pieces of vegetables
Strange as it may appear, death was
not caused by any CT these, nor from
indigestion. but from tuberculosis
not from consumption Of articles. The
skin will be preserved in the museum.
