HEROES AT FIRE.
faevator Men In Chicago Skyscraper

Stick 10 their Posts.
Chicago, Jan. 26.-Fire in the o.
story Masonic temple caused a panic
among the 1000 occupants of the build
ing, and damaged the stock and fixtures
OF tenants to the extent of 500. 900.
All occupants of the building escaped
without serious injury through the
bravery of the elevator men, who re-
mained at their posts operating their
cars while dense clouds of smoke filed
the building.
The fire broke out in the suite of five
rooms on the fifth floor occup;ed bv
Robert Friedlander & Co., manufactur-
ers of X-ray apparatus. A lighted
match, carelessly thrown by an en-
ploye into pile of excelsior in the
packing room is believed to have start
ed the fire. There was large number
OF A-ray vacuum tubes stored in the
company's rooms, and these exploded
the moment the heat reached them.
The thousands of occupants of the
building, with the memory of the Iro-
quois theater holocaust, which oc-
Cured but one-half block away. fresh
in their minds, were alarmed when
clouds of smoke filled every floor and
rushed to the elevators. Many women
tainted in. the scramble to get into the
elevators, but none was seriously in
jured. The large building was emptied
within half an hour after the fire was
discovered. Hundreds of men and
women groped their way through the
smoke and came down the stairs.
That the damage to property and in
dividuals was not greater was probably
due largely to the efficiency of the fire
drill of the employees. When the great
ire bell at the top of the rotunde
sounded the alarm of fire, tevery iani-.
tor, engineer and fireman in the build
ing responded and long before the fire
had reached the scene the
temple fire brigade had attached hose
20 the stand pipes which extend from
he basement to the roof of the struc-
;ure and eight streams of water were
:urned upon the confagration by the
volunteer firemen. The fire depart
nent used but little of it's hose, the
equipment being called
nto use.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 26.-What is said
to be the richest radium bearing earth
in the world has been discovered in the
Llano gold and coal fields, lis miles
north of this city. Rumors of the dis
covery of the earth bearing large per

Advertising the willamette Has Brought
Many to Oregon.
Salem-The advertising which has
been carried on in the Middle West in
the last two years for the purpose of at
tracing homeseekers to Oregon seems
to have produced good results. Not
for many years has real estate been as
active as it is now, and still greater ac-
tivity is expected before the close of
the present year.
There is no blind rush to buy land,
and no effort is being made to ''boom"
this section of the valley, but many
sales of farm lands have been made to
people who are pleased with this
country and have money to invest in
permanent homes. Though most of
the sales have been made at prices but
little above those asked three or four
years ago, the increased activity is
tending to raise values, thus giving the
realty market strong tone.
In the different localities of the Will
annette valley land may be found in
any-stage OF improvement. There are
thousands of acres of land that still
bear heavy growth of timber, fit to
be made into fuel. There are thous-
ands of scres of land from which the
timber has been removed and upon
which the decaying stumps still stand
Lying alongside these unimproved lands
are farms upon which grain, hay, fruit.
hops, livestock, poultry and vegetables
of superior quality are grown. 1t is
upon these lands that dairyman can
support a COW to the acre, that hop
growers and prunegrowers have pro-
duced crops in one year sufficient to pay
for the land upon which they grew.

Philippine Trade on the Increase.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The Philip
pine trade statistics of the insular bu-
reau of the war department show that
the imports during the eight months
ended August, 1908, aggregated $22,-
zee, $50 and exports $685., ,313.
These figures are exclusive of coin and
government supplies. The aggregate
of exports and imports is an increase of
almost $6,O0O,0 900, over four-fifths of
which may be credited to shipment
f1om the archipelago.

Merging Sugar Factories.

La Grande-Word comes from Og-
den, Utah, to the effect that there will
be consolidation of all sugar fac
tories in the three states in the near
future, which is considered very prob
able. Should it take place it would
mean the consolidation of eight fac
tories, as follows: The Ogden, Logan,
Utah, and La Grande, Oregon, fac
tories of the Amalgamated sugar
company, the factories at Lehi and
Garland, Utah, and the Lewiston,
Idaho Falls and St. Anthony factories

Washington, Jan. 27.-The secretary

the cotton boil weevil investigation in
the Southwest, for which au appropri-
alton of $25O,OO has been available
Secretary Wilson believes that the best
methods for meeting the ravages caused
by the boil weevil will be put into
actual practice the facts which have
been accumulated by the department
during the past two years in the matter
of improving culture conditions, the
planting of early maturing varieties of
cotton, substitution of other crops, etc.

HURRY up EXHIBITS.
Plea Sent Forth by Managers of St
Louis Exposition.

st. Louis, Jan. 27.-The louisiana
Purchase exposition company stands
ready and is waiting for the full and
general installation of exhibits. The
point has been reached where the man
agement of the exposition is no longer
occupied with the rapid advancement
toward completion of the buildings,
but instead, it now lays particular
stress upon the Importance of the
speedy shipments of exhibits, especial
ly those assembled by domestic exhibit
ors.
Officials of the exposition make the
statement to the Associated Press that
the one thing of paramount importance
to insure the anticipated successful and
auspicous opening of the fair is the i'm
mediate commencement by domestic
exhibitors to ship cars as rapidly as
can be had.
Owing to the unprecedented partici-
patton by both foreign and domestic ex-
hibitors, vast amoants of exhibits have
been and are now ID course of arrange
ment and collection. The time for the
opening of the exposition is rapidly ap
preaching, but apparently the know
ledge of the fact Is not causing the
shipment of exhibits to be rushed for
ward with the promptness and dispatch
that is absolutely necessary to secure
rapid delivery of the cars to the fair
site, and to avoid possible congestion
in the handling of the cars after they
have reached St. Louis.
The fair management has devoted
more than ordinary attention to prep
aration for the handling of cars and the |
are now completed. Ad-
equate railroad facilities are ready, the |
have all been erected and |
all the buildings are in such a state of |
that installation of exhibits
;an be commenced Immediately.
What the management now most
desires is the prompt ship
ment of exhibits from the different
parts of the country to begin immedi-
ately. Otherwise, if there be delay,
in traffic handling after St.
Louis is reached is almost an assured
condition.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-As the German
government understands the present
situation, the feeling is such at Toxic
that Japan will declare war unless
Russia answers her demands favorably.
Russia recognizes this, and accordingly
intends to accept enough of Japan's
points to make the Toxic cabinet feel
that sufficient cause for war no longer
exists, and while the forthcoming note
will not satisfy Japan, it will prevent the
possibility OF declaration of war.

Word comes today from Washing

awarded. While the news is not un-
expected it is none the less crafty
ing. 1t comes as the fruition of a
long struggle and many disappoint-

there today great rejoicing in Ros-
well. Before the dawn of tie new
year work will have begun on the
reservoir that lays the foundation
broad and deep for the future growth
and prosperity of the entire Pecos
Valley and Roswell in particular. The
meaning is not only that the govern

fifteen thousand acres of our land is
to be brought into cultivation. and
that on this fertile tract will be the

A Roosevelt Convention.
May be truthfully termed a "Roose-
welt convention" 1t is doubtful if
a dissenting vote will be cast against
the nomination OF the President. The
selection Of the candidate for vice.
president will afford the only contest
in the convention and even this is
not expected to be a very spirited
proceeding. Several sections of the
country have put forth favorite SONS
for the honor, but II is pretty well
understood that the Middle West will
furnish the man.
The convention will consist OF 9S8
delegates. OF this number 708 are
under instructions to vote for the
President, and of the remaining 280
a large number are, tacitly instructed.
A remarkable fact is that not a single
delegate is under instruction. for any
other candidate.
The states and territories which
have solid delegations under instruc-
tions to vote for the President are:
