DAMAGE TO BIG ELECTRIC PLANT.
The Accident Causes Great Incon.
venience to SURROUNDING Towns
Factories Shut Down-Electri-
cal Famine for Many Hours.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. >31.-At
$3.50 o'clock Friday night the tempo
rary repairs at the Niagara Falls
Power & Conduit company's plant
were completed, and the electrical
famine along the Niagara frontier
due to the early morning fire which
was started by fash of lightning
was practically at an end. Power was
sent out from the plant an hour be-
fore that time, but it was not per
manent owing to a short circuit
which occurred in the power house
shortly thereafter, and which seri-
ously burned three men, one OF
whom may die. The short circuit
and the injury of the three men came
as a climax to disconcerting Incl
dents which had marked the day.
Caused by Lightning.
E. B. Rankin, vice president of the
company, said Friday evening: "The
cause of the fire was bolt of light
ming, which entered the transformer
room and set fire to one of the cables.
The flames communicated to other
cables, and in short time the roof
of the transformer house was ablaze.
The cables were destroyed in q short
time and it was necessary to shut
down power house No. i. Operations
in power house No. were not in
terfered with. There was no damage
to machinery in either power house.
In all, about 1000 feet of cable were
destroyed. There was a supply Of
cable on hand and sufficient to re-
place it," The loss by fire is esti-
mated at $4,000.
Much Inconvenience.
Never before since the establish
ment of Niagara Falls power has
there been delay of such magnitude.
It was felt directly by thousands of
people in Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Lockport and the Tonawandas and
intermediate points. Hundreds of
factories were shut down for the day
and the street car service was de-
moralized. Thousands of workmen
employed in the factories along the
river were temporarily thrown out
of employment. The officials of the
power. company state, however, that
the seriousness of the situation was
not so great as was at first thought
possible: AS a matter of fact, the
electrical famine lasted 10 hours. The
worst of it is over.

BIG MERGER SCHEME.
Indiana Coal Operators Plan to Com.
blne All Coal Producing
Interests.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-Indiana
coal operators are working on one of
the largest merging schemes in the
history of the state. The plan is to
bring all of the controlling coal pro-
ducing interests in the state into one
company. Absolute ownership is the
plan to be followed. The coal mining
interests of the state are worth over
$35,oo0,ooo. The plan is to take in
those properties lying along the rail-
road lines. A committee composed
of A. NJ. Ogle, of Indianapolis; j.
Smith 1alley, of Terre Haute, and
George Seifert, who has large mines
in Sullivan county, is making the
moves and taking options on proper
ties. Some of the largest coal min
ing interests in the state are covered
by options. It is said that the deal,
If it goes through, will be far more
extensive than simply the ownership
of mines. The company contem-
plates, it is understood, equipping it,
self with it's own coal cars and to
provide enough SO there will not be
the present frequent shutdown of
tho mines because of not having cars
on which to load the coal.

Please Consider.

TO THE EDITOR We are all
desirous of having more people
come to Corvallis; good response
bic people, who will make good
citizens. What effect will it
have ON these proposed additions
to our populoiion, when it be-
comes known that double taxa
ton IS in order? This proposed
taxing cf mortgages will drive
these people away, and send our
best citizens from home. Many
of them have already gone, still
holding securities in the county,
knowing that a mortgage tax
cannot reach nonresident,
while many of our newcomers
are waiting an opportunity to
get away. In the city of Cor
Wallis, taxes are four and a half
per cent,-this leaves but one
and one half per cent for the
mortgage to live upon. Do
you want to populate your eoun-
4 lty? Or are you blind? This
state of affairs cannot be kept
from the public. There are
those among us that will send it
forth. It is matter of justice
to the proposed newcomer that
this proposed taxing of mort
cages should be known. 1t is
right the public should know
what to expect if residence in
BeAton county or Corvallis, is
intended.

FROM PAGE TO PREMIER,
She Prime Minister of Uganda.

The career of Apolo Kagwa, prime minister of Uganda, who attended the coronation in London, has been re marlsable and romantic. When young man he was a page in the court of King M'tesa, and after that rulsr's death, rose to the rank of steward un- der the notorious M'wanga. He al- ways held aloof from the barbaritiea prevalent at that tme, and was in consequence more than once beaten and wounded by M'wanga. :.
 Twenty years ago Apolo came under the influence of the Church Missionary society and has since remained loyal and stanch friend of the missionaries. often at great personal cost. Though speaking little English, he Is no mean scholar in his own tongue and has writ ten three books on the history and follc- lore of his people.
 It was owing to the strong reprex sentations of Apollo. says the London, Express, that Mwanga in 1890 signed the treaty with Capt. Lugard by which Uganda became a British protectorate. He was head of the forces in 1892, and ruled the country with conspicu5 ous ability during M'wanga's flight. Had it not been for his influence the chiefs would have rebelled and the country would have had to be recon- nuered
