union HILL IN TERROR.
Two Outrageous Cases of
Incendiarism in a
Single Night.

The residents of Union Hill are greatly
excited over the number of i~ncendiary
fires which have occurred of late. At two
o'clock Sunday morning the department.
was called out to ~extinguish a fire in the
old skating rink on Lewis street. After
the flames had been subdued an inyestl-
cation was Started by Chief Stahl, who
found waste soaked in oil scattered all
over the premises, leaving no doubt but
that a well laid plan had been concocted
todestroy the building. This is the third
unsuccessful attempt to destroy the RINK.
The firemen returned tired and dls-
gusted, but their labors were not over.
They had to attend another fire at half
past five in the morning. This was the
most astonishing and dastardly attempt
I at arson that could possibly be conceived.
An attempt was made to set the house,
No. Is Lewis street, on fire. This build
ing is next door to the Town Hall n
Fire Headquarters. The lncen-
diary. whoever he may pc,
made the attempt from the
yard of the Town Hall. The flames We're
subdued before the building had been
seriously damaged. After the fire Chief
Stahl found waste scattered all through
the yards of the Town Hall and beneath
the corner OF the house. The Hremen
were enraged and everyone viewed the
other with suspicion. Some of the mem
bers of Pioneer Hose Company did not
hesitate yesterday to name the object OF
their suspicious.
/ called on Mrs. Schaffenberger yester-
day. She is the owner of the premises.
Her husband is employed rs night watcn-
man for the North Hudson County Rail
way Company, and the other occupants OF
the house are her daughter and widowed
sister.
At about half-past five this morning."
she said; II was awakened by a loud
knocking at the door | opened 1t and
Policeman Stanford said, Your mouse is
on fire.
Ii seemed very much excited and APP
peared to me to be under the influence of
liquor. It was broad daylight, and as |
saw the smoke pouring from the corner or
the house | nearly tainted, but ~pluckedup
courage enough to go into the yard. There
I saw burning waste all around. Several
OF the bremen were there m had Il
stream on and soon put it out"
ID you suspect any one?"I asked.
.Oh, yes,' she said, but ! am afraid
to hitter my suspicious"
The daring with which thea attempt was
made at that hour of the morning seems
Incredible. Chief Stahl, when seen yes
terday, said that the matter would re-
ceIve the fullest investigation. Mr.
Hansen, the insurance agent for the
premises, has set two insurance detectives
to WORK on the case, and it is thought
that they will not be long in laying their
hands on the guilty one.

Prom a letter 10 the Hull, lows, Advanced
The first place Of Importance In
Washington Is Spokane Falls, which
has not yet recovered from the fire.
II is beautifully located on high pla-
teau, has an excellent water power,
and is bound to be a good town. But
like its rivals OIL Puget Sound, Ia
coma and Seattle, everything is
bOomed beyond reach. Each Of
the,e cities have had a phenomenal
growth, the result of pressure brO't
to bear by speculatoFs, and 1t looks
as though there must be reaction
some day. AS an inducement TO
come TO Seattle and locate, one Of
its leading real estate men told how
dry goods man there had just
leased a store at $4,000 per
month, or about Sl0,O 900 year. That
looks like a rather poor Dait to
throw out for suckers. Tacoma is
the worst mudhole / ever saw, yet
lots Of business is done there, as also
at Seattle. Going south to Oregon,
the first important place we reach
Portland, the metropolis Of the
state, on the Willamette river, near
the junction Of the Columbia, but it
is poor place to settle for buiness
without an unlimited amount Of
capital.
South Of here for hundred and
fifty miles stretches the famous
Willamette valley. The river is
navigated by steamers, and the land
IL the finest farming region in the
state. Wheat Is raised here which
so far excels any ever saw in Iowa

so large and plump are the kernels.

prunes, cherries and apples / have

with this country has been the lack
Of activity by farmers, but since
the railroads are running in here
new blood has created a competition
which is bound to drive every inter
est ahead. Property Is still compar-
atlvely cheap here.
Salem is the capital of the state,
and lies in the center of this mag
nificent valley. 1t is a beautifully
located city of 10000 people, has
nearly all the state institutions, a
a good start in manufactures, a uni
versity, colleges, schools and
the best in the state.
Dozens of people are coming here
every day, and the place is rapidly
growing. II lsalmost impossible to
rent house to live in. Great rail-
road agitation is going OH all along
the valley, aud Salem IL bound to
be center of such traffic. 1t is
safe to estimate that at its present
rate of growth, ten years will see
Salem city of $4,000. The climate
is excellent, business IL good and its
permanent resources are Of the very
best. A. +. HoFER, JR.

MOVE ron THE BRIDGE.

The regular session OF the county
court IL held next month. What
showing will Salem and Marion
county make for bridge ut this
city? A city that pays one-third Of
the county taxes, aud where the
larger part OF the county finds Its
market for surplus products, must
not neglect TO demand from the
county court all that can be done to
secure the early construction Of a
bridge,
We are not advised how action
will be taken. A city and county
committee should be raised at once
10 present this matter. Let II not
rest with IA few. What is every
body's business, IL nobody's. No
doubt IL Is primarily the duty of the
county courts OF Marion and Polk
TO take up the bridge and push It..
But they must have something be-
fore them. A petition should be
laid before them signed by n
majority OF all the tax.
payers OF the county. II should be
based on good sound authority
The same should be done In Polk.
That would authorize the courts to
do all In their power, The petitions
