Hood River [Oregon] has chosen as the principal of its schools Professor
L.A. Wiley of Jefferson [Oregon], a young man, who though but 31 years of
age, is said to be one of the most able educators in Oregon.

As if it were not warm enough today, the community was treated to a nice
little bon fire about 1 oclock, a spark from the engine on the noon
passenger train, igniting the cord wood which Maier & Schanno had piled at
the foot of Washington Street. An alarm was turned in and Jackson Engine
company responded, laying two lines of hose, one from the plug at the
Pacific Express corner and the other from the club corner. They soon had the
flames extinguished and virtually no loss was sustained.

The Macedonian cry of come over and hel has been heard by the neighbors of
flood stricken Mitchell [Oregon] and from all parts of Oregon the necessary
aid is pouring in.
