and devotion to the Union, went out like
a dissolving view with the death of Clay.
In ways not of politics our country ad-
yanced with mighty strides. The number
of States had more than doubled; popu-
lation had rapidly increased; immigration
was immense of Irish, Germans and Scan
dinaYians, who sought country with
bright prospects and for happier homes
than those furnished the peasantry of the
Old World. Civilization had spread from
the Atlantic coast over the Alleghanies
into the valley of the Mississippi. and
that great river had become the waterway
of the Nation, and still humanity had
staked out broader fields until the Gold
en- Gate" was reached, where the white
wings of Nations entered through the sun
set sea.

CHRISTMAS FIRE
IN SOUTH SALEM

Soon after eight o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the cottage OF Elmer S. Seeley,
located on Myers street, South Salem,
caught fire and burned TO the ground.
All the family we're away. Mrs. Seeley
and child had gone Saturday Ia visit her
people in Portland. Mr.. Seeley had
gone 10 the early train 10 join them for
Christmas, but missed it and took the
Albany local. Before his train left the
city the building was beyond saving az 1t
is far outside the fire limits and no ap
pliances we're at hand TO put out flames.
The house and fruit cellar were IN ruins
in half.hour, but little fruit or furni-
ture being saved. IL took active work TO
save the Fred Anderson house near by,
but the neighbors were equal 10 the oc-
casion, There had not been a fire in
South Salem in many years and this
caused great excitsmment. There was
no wind o. the fire might easily have
spread TO other buildings. When Mr..
Seeley reached Portland his family al
ready knew of the disaster and ii was
anything but merry Christmas for
them. MIR. Seeley returned last night
and II is learned that there was 500 i'm
surance on the house in the name OF a
mortgage, and 500 on the contents.
This will not nearly cover the loss and
there is general sympathy with Mr..
Seeley in his misfortune. The lire
started from defective Hue in all
probability but this has not been
determined
Mr.. Seeley Is member of the A. o, U,
W., and that order has taken upon itsel
the task Of raising purse sufficient TO
build the unfortunate gentleman II new
