| The hop house of w. A. Wells.
located about two miles southwest oil
this city, was burned last Friday
night. There was nothing saved.
as there was nobody present to
save anything. Mrs. M. J. Wells,
wife of w. A. Wells, carried insur-
surlnce to the amount of $1,000,
but as the original cost of the
building was in the neighborhood
of 81 800, there will be dead loss
of several hundred dollars.
A. G. Mulkey is still very ill. He
has had paralysis of the throat
which renders him unable to speak,
although he is in full possession of
his mental powers. He has had
heart trouble for some time and his
condition is very serious. His i'll
ability to speak to the family is
sorrowful in the extreme. Walter
Virgil Mulkey, of Los Angeles, Cal,
is at his fathers bedside, also his
neice, Mrs. Simpson, of Salem.
The Corvallis Choral Society has

ruses from Salem, Eugene, Albany,
Corvallis, and Dallas. This festi-
val will undoubtedly be the great
est musical event in Salem's his
tory, and it is TO be hoped that
every citizen will realize its i'm
portance.-Statesman.
