of the top story IN the county surveyors
Office, but was checked soon after the fire
department got to work. All the maps
and records in the surveyors Office will
probably be total loss and new ceilings
and floors will have to beDput in. Sheriff
Durbin, whose Office and living rooms are
directly underneath those of the survey
or, the latter being on the ground floor,
succeeded in saving all his records and
household goods, except carpets and
curtains, which were badly damaged by
water. His personal loss is about 500.
The building was erected in the early
'70s, at cost of about $l25, 900. It is in
sured for about $50, 600.

Damage To Fruit Trees.

OREGON Cry. Feb. 20.-At first q
hasty examination did not reveal the fact
that. prune trees in this county were
severely injured by the late cold snap,
bnt it is now evident that the loss will be
considerable. Deputy County Recorder
E. P. Dedman and Holcomb Bros. of
Clackamas, made a close examination of
their orchards at Clackamas yesterday,
and believe that hundreds of trees are
killed. A surface examination did not
reveal the extent of the damage, but on
cutting into the trees, it was found that
the wood had turned black, and the
trunks were blistering on the sides ex-
posed to the sun. Mr.. Dedman has 1900
5-year-old prune trees, and is confident
that the fruit crop for the coming year
will not only be failure, but the trees
are almost a total loss. Very little grain
is reported to have been frozen.

CHOSEN TO
SUCCEED GROSS
Bishop Christie Reported to Be Chosen
to the Archdiocese of Oregon.

PORTLAND, Feb 22.-The New York
Irish World, of February 18th, which
arrived here yesterday, contained the
announcement, under date of Rome,
February 18th, that Bishop Christie, of
Vancouver island, had been appointed
to the archdiocese of Oregon, made va
cant by the death of the late Archbishop
Gross. Catholic residents were inclined
to credit this report, but dispatch from
Vancouver, B. c.. received late last
night, in which Bishop Christie ex-
pressed doubts of its authenticity, gives
it the appearance of being premature.
Bishop Christie, however, is said to be
the most favored of the aspirants for
Archbishop Gross vacant seat, and it is
generally believed among Catholics in
Portland that he will be the next arch
bishop of Oregon when the choice is
made.
The dispatch in the World reads as
follows:
"Rome, Feb. 12.-Bishop Christie, of
Vancouver, has been transferred to the
archiepiscopalseeo OF Oregon.
'Right Rev. Alexander Christie takes
the place of Archbishop W. H. Gross, of
Oregon, who died in Baltimore, Nov.
IA, 1898. He recently succeeded Bishop
John Nicholas Lemmens as bishop of
Vancouver. Before receiving this ap-
pointment FIR. Christie was pastor of a

Egg Famine in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Fep. 22.-Eggs have broken
the season record for high prices. The
extreme scarcity of that article has
caused the wholesalers to put up the price
10 % cents while retailers and small
grocers demand So cents dozen.
Strictly fresh eggs were SO few and far
between that they were curiosities.
Nearly all of the offerings were from
California. These eggs represented eight
carloads received from California so far
this week, and they went to the groceries.
The wholesale price in Chicago was
cents higher than in New York.
One prominent egg dealer, in speaking
of the shortage of eggs said:
''It seems ridiculous that California
should have to save our lives just now
by shipping eggs to our markets."

.PAUPER DEAD
BEING BURIED
Steamer Columbia Carries Over for
Interment 16I Bodies at a Single
Load.

New YORK, Feb. 21.-Packed away,
each in a refrigerator cell, amid tons of
ice, there were in the mergue until to-
day 40 bodies of the city's unknown
and homeless dead, the largest number
ever gathered there since the present
morgue was built. The cause of this was
that the city burying ground on Hart's
island was hemmed in with ice, and
could not be approached by the steamers
of the charity department.
The city supports on Hart's island a
colony of forty men whose duty it is to
dig graves in the potter's field. These
men for ten days have been without oc-
cupation.
The tug Fidelity and the sidewheeler
Thomas S. Brennan, of the charity de-
partment, both tried to break through
the ice which surrounds Hart's islands,
but failed. On Sunday the big steam
lighter Columbia was fixed up for a
rusa through the ice. One hundred and
sixty-one bodies were loaded on her,
and she steamed up for Hart's island,
In spite of all the captain could do, he
was not able to force passage. The
forty grave diggers watched the Colum-
bia struggling with the ice.
The Columbia tried it again yesterday
however, and reached Hart's island
after hard battle with the ice.

PORTLAND, Feb. 22.- Edward w.
Hampton, the first Oregon soldier to be
killed in action at the Philippines, was
a son of John Hampton, a furniture
mover, who lives at 397 San Rafael
street.
The deceased was 20 years old last
October, and had lived in Portland since
he was four years of age. His father
moved here from Nebraska sixteen year g
ago, and has raised his family in East
Portland, where the dead soldier was
well known and very popular.
The first intimation of the death of
his son that Mr.. Hampton had was
when Telegram reporter called at the
house at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
The blow was sad one to his father
and his five children. They had letter
from the son last Saturday in which he
said he was well and as well contented
as one could be in Manila. He said that
he would like to be at home, but was
willing to remain there as long as his
services were needed.
The news was doubly surprising to
Mr.. Hampton, from the fact that COM
pany H had been on duty at the custom
house. When he read in the newe-
papers that the Oregon boys had been
ordered to the front he consoled himself
with the thought that the company his
boy was in would not have to go.
Young Hampton joined company H
only few days before it left for San
Francisco. He had been employed for
three years in the sash and door factory
of the Northwest Door Company, where
he is very highly spoken of by his en-
ployers.
He recently sent some Spanish flags
and several curios home Ito his father
which are highly priced by the Hampton
household.
