REPAIRS WEPE STARTED.
But Fire Chef Stopped Them-Fire
Limits Inyolved-The irwin
Shack.

The FIRE limits and the question
of what kind of repairs can be
made therein bobbed up as sub
ject for authorities to differ on the
other day. Charles B1akeslee took
a contract to repair the David r.
vim shanty on Main street. He
was to be paid SIS for the job. 1t
included new foundation, new
walls, new floor. in fact everything
new but roof and front, according
to the statement of Councilman
Porter. Complaint was made and
Fire Chief Berry stopped the work.
Mr.. Blakeslee made application to
the fire and water committee and
some of them expressed willingness
for the work to go ahead. Blakes-
lee had done portion of the work
but the job was hung up until it
could be referred to the council
which met Monday night. The
matter was there distressed and re-
ferred to the fire and water com.
mittee with instructions to inves-
tigate and pass on the question of
whether or not the structure could
be repaired.
The question of maintaining ERE
limits in the block in which the
Irwin building is located was raised
while the matter was Under discus
sion. The point was made that
fire limits offer a reward to owners
of buildings there to cling to an
old wall or front as susceptible of
repairs and through which to save
themselves from building a brick
or iron structure. This, it was
urged, has the effect to perpetuate
a lot of old shanties, which. be-
cause they are repaired and re-re-
paired never improve in appearance
or take on modern features. It
was urged that it would be better
for appearances as well as from 9TH
her considerations in such cases,
for permits to be issued for the
/ erection of new wooden buildings,
under certain regulations as to fire
! proof roof and other requirements
that would add to the safety and
enormously to appearances.
/ The fire ordinance provides that
no repairs shall be made to a damag-
ed building in case the improve
ment adds rs per cent to the value
of the structure.

H. E. HARRIS DEAD.
Former Corvallis Merchant and Well
Known Citizen. Passed Away
Sunday.

- D.
H. E. Harris died in Portland
Sunday. He was a former Corval-
lis merchant who began business in
the town away back beyond the
time of most of the present resi-
dents, probably late in the Fifties
or early in the Sixties. In associ-
alton with L. L. Horning. he built
the brick building in which Gra-
ham & Wells do business. It was
the second brick structure in town.
Mr.. Harris continued to do BUS
mess in Corvallis until about 1885
when he retired. At that time he
kept grocery store in the room
pow occupied by E. B. Horning,
and was the first occupant of the
Burnett brick. About 1891. the
family removed to Portland, where
two years ago, Mrs. Harris died.
Two sons, Mayer and Ala had died
years ago. The surviving members
of the family are, Isaac, Solomon,
Carrie, Lena, Tillie, Frances, Hen
rietta and Sarah. all of whom
reside in Portland. The funeral
occurred yesterday.

IOWA SHERIFF CAME.
And Brought Rasseli Clifford Back to
Coryaliis-Latter IS Insane.

The sheriff of Crawford county.
Iowa, was in Corvallis for an hour
at noou yesterday. His name is
Thomas Meehan, and his home is
at Dennison, Iowa. He came to
bring Russell Clifford who was a
resident of this section until last
September, wl1ene,he left for the
East. Clifford was brought as an
insane patient, and within an hour
or two after his arrival yesterday,
he had been examined as to sanity
and committed to,the Oregon asy-
lum for the insane. He will be
taken to Salem this, Wednesday
morning, on the early train by
Sheriff Burnett. :5
Clifford resided for about four
years in the old Dennick house at
the brick yard across Mary's river.
For six or seven years before that,
he lived off and on in Benton coun-
ty. An air Of mystery always sur
rounded him, and there, are those
who think he ought to have been
in the asylum years ago. The
statement is that he never worked,
but that he always managed to ex-
ist. His former neignbors aver
that he was up at all hours of the
night, that he was roaming about
more or less at night and that, in
fact, he was strange in many res
poets. A popularity with him is
that though he is above fifty if
not even sixty years of age, when
he registered as vote which was
every time there was an election,
he always gave his age as 38.
When asked his age at the exam
ination yesterday afternoon, he
gave it as SO. His height is five
feet 10 inches and his weight $50.
New England is the land Of his
nativity, and he claims to be a
Quaker in religion.
His story of his doings since he
left Corvallis does not tally with
| that OF the sheriff who brought
him. The sheriff tells that Clifford
was in the poor house of Crawford
county, that the building burned
up, and that though there was no
way to prove it, suspicion was di-
rected to Clifford as the cause. I'm
nediate1y afterward he was exam
! ined as to his sanity and adjudged
insane. The commissioners of the
county. in the commitment &C
companying Clifford, relate tht
facts Of the proceedings aseto san
ity in the Iowa court, and ordel
! Clifford brought to Corvallis, Ore
/ gon, his place Of residence. Gis
! ford tells a tale Of having been il
an accident in which he sustained
great injuries and of treatment tina
he had at the hands of variou!
doctors, some of them in New Yorl
all of which is not believed.

BUILDING NEW SAW MILL
Plant Going In Near Town With
 Capacity of 10000 Feet

In few days a new sawmill will be in operation for general business in Seward, with a capacity of 10000 feet day. The plant is located at the edge of the tide flats north of town where the flats curve farthest to lhe west. The mill k at the foot of the mountain and will have good road in to Seward. Logs will be brought to the mill from various places around the bay and lloated in at high tide.
 Four men are interested in the mill. They are T. NJ. White, A. F. RasmuS- sen, A. l.. Carter and Thomas Neville. All are experienced mill men. Their plant has just been brought in from Seattle and the mill will be running before the end of the week. Tn pro- prietors of the new enterprise were in- duced to go into it because of the great demand for lumber in Sewarl, and the difficulty which h1s Cften cen eXper- fenced in getting it fro n the state.

We'll Known Cook Inlet Man Falls
 Overheard from TyORiC

George $. Mearns, postmaster at Kenai and purScr of the Cook Inlet steamer Tyonic. slipped doverboard from that vessel near Fire island and was drowned last Tuesday,. The swift tide which runs through the channel car red the body away and it k not be- licvcd that it will ever be recovered.
 The accident occurred at 1 o'clock in the morning. The boat had been wait ing beside Fire island for the tide 10 run out. Mcarns went on the deck and leaned over the rail. which k low. He was very large man, feet, inches nigh, and weighing 2SO pounds, He lost his, balance and fell. An Indian sailor was standing within ten feet Of where MearDs fell from the boat. He instantly threw a rope into the water, which struck Mearus and the latter grabbed for it but missed and disap- pcarcd from view, as the night wa, very dark.
 Mate Fillmore was ten feet beyond the Indian. When Mearns failed to catch the rope thrown by the Indian Fillmore shouted Man overheard" and ran tothe dayit and lowered a boat in moment. The Indian jumped in- to this and started away with the tide In the darkness he was unable to find any trace of the lost man. The water is so cold that man becomes chilled and helpless in a few moments. Later white man was put in another boat, who rowed around allday but could not find the body.
 Mearns had quite a large sum of money and drafts in his pocket. Capt. Shaw of the Tyonic does not know the exact amount, but says it was consid- erable. 1t included all that had been collected on the trip.
 George MearnS had been in this part of Alaska since 1898. He had wide acquaintance and was very popular with all who knew him. He came from san Francisco, in which city his father now dead, was a prominent man. His mother lives there now. The dead man was about 43 years old and unmarried.

RAILROAD ORGANIZES
 IMMIGRATION BUREAU

Within a few weeks an Alaska Gen. tral immigration bureau will be in working order, and engaged in the task of informing the people of the whole country through the metro politan press and the monthly maga- zines of the resources along the pro- posed route of the road. It is intended to bring several thousand immigrants into the Susitna valley next summer to take up lands there and become per- manent settlers. The mining resour- ces of the region will also be fully eX- plotted.
 The work of organizing this bureau and the task of preparing descriptive matter for publication is in charge of F.. A. BatwclI, one of the ablest news, paper writers of the Northwest, who came up on the Santa Clara to equip himself by personal observation for the work. Mr. Batwell left the staff ot the Post-Intelligencer to accept hi, present position, giving up the post o dramatic critic and railroad editor o that great newspaper.
 This week Major Ballaine and Mir

Batwell went out over the railroad to inspect the progress of construction.
 The articles prepared by Mr.. Batwell will be published widely in newspapers and magazines. They willdcscribe with fidelity the actual resources which will be tributary to the Alaska Central. Readers will be told that the railroad will traverse a country aS rich in min eral deposits as any in the world, and abundant proof of the fact will be given. They will also be told that in the Su- sitna valley is found a soil as fertile a, the DakotaS can boast, with climate much less rigorous.
 Having undertaken the stupendou, task of building a railroad from tide water to the Panama the owner, of the Alaska Central realize that 10 obtain returns for their investment immigrat- ion must keep pace with construction.
