The Fire Fiend.

Fire broke out in the old barn
oppos te the foundly Wednesday
night, completely destroying the
building and rendering absolutely
useless about IS tons of fHe b I'D
hay. The alarm was given o IT
eleven O'clock but the h ims h ID
obtained such headwav tEat
nothing cold be done to save tnc
property. Chief R1rnie was at d
disadvantage with one hand dis
abled, but P. F. Sheasgreen, the
old fire chief, was right in the
thickest OF the fight directing the
boys and urging them on. The
FIRE was beneath the huge mass
of bay and Ii was simply iinpos-
i lie 10 one stream of water 10
com :letely ex inguish 1t. The
hay belonged to J. n McFadden
who lives ten miles south of here
and had been stored for winter
US. The loss is about six hun
dred dollars with no Insurance.
How the h:e started is a mystery.
b, some it is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary,
by Others that some one had drop
ped cigar stub on the sidewalk
which was thickly strewn with
chat 1t is exceedi ,gly fortun-
ate that no wind prevailed at the
time, else a number of buildings
would have been endangered.
Another f'e is raging over in

was brought in late Wednesday
evening by Willis Vidito that the
fire could be seen back of Dick
L ,hn's and that the noise of huge
trees falling could be heard for
some distance. Mr.. Vidito, who
the railroad company,
hlred meu to extingulsh the fire if
it were on the company's land.
1t is not thought. however, that
the fire will gain much headway
before it is checked by the rains.

Benton County Crops.

No material change for the
better has transpired IN crop con-
ditions throughout the county.
Light rains few days ago clear
ed the atmosphere of much of the
smoke and lowered the general
temperature to something like an
endurable condition. The fall
grain has been cut, and most of
it threshed and hauled into the
warehouses.
The crophas TUNED out very
satisfactorily, with the exception
of some hill farms where the
yield has been exceedingly light.
Seventy-seven cents is being paid
for wheat here while eighty has
been paid at Monroe. These
prices are very satisfactory 10 the
farmers and most of them are
letting their grain 60.
Oats are firm at "a cents with
probability of their reaching
As or 50 cents by spring. Hay
baled is selling for $40 to $12,
with strong demand.
Oak wood keeps a steady price
of $500 with fir at $500 and
$3.50 per cord.
Peaches, pln1ns, and vegetables
are on the market in limited
quantities. Late potatoes will
turn out about two thirds of
crop.

Off For the Hop Fields.

A noticeable stiffness prevails
as a consequence of the departure
of a large number of peop,e for
the hop fields. Probably so or
more have gone from Corvallis,
while all day long the stream of
wagons of people from a distance
continues to pass through the
city. Most of those going from
here are headed for independence
and points north, of that place.
Picking in all parts OF the
county will be in progress in
few days, in fact in some yards
it has already commenced and
the crops will be picked and
placed in the bale within the
next month. Portland is adding
its quota to the number, for pick
ers by the train load are pouring
out of the city for hop fields
scattered throughout the valley.
Picking this year will be re-
munerative, for the price paid is
As to so cents per box, The
crop however, is not as heavy as
other years but all will make
good wages and even small boys
and girls can make money.
