In a recent number of McClure's
Magazine Is a story in which the facts
relating to the profits of a baking
powder were brought out through lltl-
cation In the courts. 1t was shown
that the company manufacturing the
powder was capitalized at 100000
The profits amounted to $11647 In
1876. and they continued to grow until
they reached the enormous aggregate
in 1887 OF $725, 1862, the income that
year being four times the amount Of
the capital invested. The profits since
1887 have steadily increased, but the
feature of particular interest in this
connection is that the company spent
$1,000 for advertising in 1876 and
$201, ,OSI in 1887.
The baking powder may or may
not have been superior 10 Others put
on the market, but the business was
made to pay the Immense returns
noted through liberal and Judicious
advertIsing. Another feature in this
matter is that the company has Rd-
vertised almost exclusively in the
newspapers.
The men behind that baking powder
realized the value of the newspaper
press In reaching the public, and to it
they owe the marvellous results

House Committee FavOrs Removal
of Customs House.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The house
committee on ways and means has de-
cided to name definitely Seattle as
headquarters of the Puget Sound GUS
toms di strict in the bill now before the
committee. The section of this meas
ure as submitted by the treasury de-
partment simply authorizes Secretary
Shaw to exercise discretionary power
and to name the customs headquarters
Eat which place the collector shall re-
side.''
1t was ON this section that the hear.
ing was held last week, when Repre-
sentatives Jones and Cushman opposed
the project so strenuously.
The ways and means committee has
considered the matter at length, and
has decided to name Seattle specifical-
ly, since it is we'll understood that this
is the port which Secretary Shaw
would designate if the matter were
left to him. At its meeting today the
ways and means committee will for
mally order favorable report on the
bill, with the amendment specifying
Seattle as headquarters.

SKYSCRAPER FIRE
BLAZE IN CHICAGO MASONIC Tenn
PIE BUILDING.
Quite a Panic Among Occupants of
Upper StOries--Big Building Is
Emptied Within Half an Hour.
Efficient Work by Employees
Fire Brigade.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Fire in the twen-
ty-story Masonic Temple yesterday
caused panic among the 1000 occu-
pants of the building and damaged the
stock and fixtures of tenants to the ex-
tent of $40, 200. All occupants of the
building escaped without serious in
jury through the bravery of the eleva-
tor men, who remained at their posts
operationg their cars while dense
clouds of smoke filled the building
The fire broke out in the suite of five
rooms ON the fifth floor &C ,upied by
Robert Friedlander & Co., manufac-
turers of X-ray apparatus. A lighted
match carelessly thrown by an employee
into pile of excelsior in the packing
room is believed to have started the
fire. There was large number of X
ray vacuum tubes stored in the COM
pany's rooms, and these exploded the
moment the heat reached them. Rob-
ert Friedlander realized the danger
from these tubes and worked until
overcome by smoke throwing them out
of the window.
opTCAuS
The fire spread rapidly from the
packing room to the other rooms, and
in few minutes the entire suite was
on fire and the light shaft of the build
ing was filed with flames.
The thousands of occupants of the
building, with the memory of the Iro-
quois theater holocaust, which occurred
but half block away, fresh in their
minds, were alarmed when clouds of
smoke filled every floor, and rushed to
the elevators, but none was seriously
injured. The large buildingw as emp
tied within half an hour after the fire
was discovered. Hundreds of men and
women CROPPED their way through the
smoke and came down the stairs. That
the damage to property and individu-
ais was not greater was probably due
largely to the efficiency of the fire drill
of the employees. When the great bell
at the top of the rotunda sounded the
alarm of fire every janitor, engineer
and fireman in the building responded,
and long before the fire department
reached the scene the temlpe fire bri-
gade had attached hose to the stand
pipes which extend from the basement
to the roof of the structure, and eight
streams Of water were turned upon the
confiagration by the volunteer firemen.
The fire department used but little of
its hose, the buildings equipment be-
ing called into use.

ATTACKED ELECTRIC ROAD.
Mob of Koreans Attempt to Destroy
Property of Americans.


Property of Americans.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The war de-
partment has received information of
an attack by mob of Koreans on an
electric road. the line being owned by
Americans, because of the fact that it
had killed Korean. The news came
in the following cablegram from Min
lister Allen at Seoul:
"This morning, on the electric rail
way which is the property of American
citizens, Korean was accidentally
killed. Thereupon mob of natives
attacked and partially destroyed the
car. The operators of the car would
have been injured had it not been for
the presence Of mind and action of our
guard, and serious riot would have oc-
Cured"
Although there have been previous
reports of disturbances in Korea, this
is the first mob attack made thus far
ON property of Americasn. The rail
road is owned and operated by Ameri
cisco and III. Collbran being its prin-
cipal owners. 1t runs through the
heart of Seoul, the Korean capital.
Marines to the Rescue.
The guard which made the rescue
came from the American legation. 1t
consists of 100 marines who were sent
there some time ago to be on hand for
the provection of Americans and their
property. Reinforcement of this guard
has been urged, and it is believed will
be made in a weeks time by details of
marines from the Philippines, but
nothing has been decided upon at this
time. Conditions in Korea are recog-
nized to be critical and the state de-
partment is keeping in CLOSE touch
with the situation.
No fresh instructions have been sent
as yet as result of the mob attack.
The Korean legation has received no
advices concerning the matter. The
Korean government has notified its
legation here that it has issued formal
declaration of neutrality as between
Russia and japan in the event of war,
and Minister Min Hui Che has formal
ly notified the state department of its
action.

PLAY ON COLLEGE GROUNDS
Colleges to Do Away With Financial
Aspect in Football

San Francisco, Jan. 25.-The last
big football game between Berkeley
and Stanford university teams has been
played in this city. The agitation to
eliminate the financial aspect of the
contests has been going on for some
years, but it was not until Saturday
night that the decisive step was ia
ken. A meeting of the athletic COM
mittees of the two big universities was
held and the managers of both teams
made a strong stand for the continu-
ance of the games in San Francisco,
but it was voted to hereafter have the
teams meet on the grounds of the COL
leges. The next game will be played
the second Saturday of November at
the Berkeley campus. The 1905 con-
test will take place at Stanford.

TO BE OPEN
ON FIRST OF MAY

L. H. Taylor, resident hydro
grapher, who is personally su-
perintending the construction of
the great irrigation reservoir in
Churchill county, stated y~ester-
day that the project was attract
ing the attention of settlers in
all parts of the United States.
He also made a number of state
ments that should prove most
interesting and instructing to
persons who propose establish
ing homes on the tract when it
shall be thrown open to settle
ment.
I'VE expect to have water
ready for distribution over from
thirty to fifty thousand acres by
March, 1905, said Mr.. Taylor.
Quite a number of filings, |
might say a large number, have
been made, but in my opinion
they are i'll advised. Every FL
ing made now is subject to the
tract distribution by the Interior
Department. The land first
watered is to be divided into
160-acre tracts. 1t is designed
TO allow each settler not kss
than 16O acres in all, divided
into eighty acres, watered, and
eighty acres pasture. Only the
head of each family will be per-
United to file. The entire tract
will be surveyed into quarter
sections. Each settler will be
allowed to file on one distinct
quarter section only. He will
not be permitted to pick his
