Portland, Got. 4.-Fire last night
which did damage to the extent of
$4,000 destroyed an entire block of
wholesale houses in this city, bounded

cent structures of the block, which
were all frame buildings. The insur-

DEVELOPMENTS IN RAILROAD SIT.
UATION EXPECTED.
Renewed Activity In Seattle end
Tacoma Tide Lands Cause OF
rlany Rumors Options Arc for
Short Time, 50 Advancement Is
Anticipated Soon.

Seattle, Got. 4.-Developments in
the railroad situation In Seattle are ex-
pected to be made public in few days
that will demonstrate beyond doubt the
fact that Representatives of the Harri-
man interests are obtaining options on
Seattle tide lands as we'll as the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul.
There has been considerable. activity
in Seattle tide lands ever since the op-
ton was taken on block 1856, the COM
pleted sale Of which was announced
Saturday at price close to $500, 900.
Immediately following this announce
ment there was q wild scramble for
properties adjacent. It has since trans
pired, however, that options are being
obtained on large tracts of property on
the tide lands, and important individ-
ual transactions are taking place daily.
Local dealers decline to give out any
particulars, save in few cases where
sales have been made to small specu-
lators..
Hartman representatives have al
ready secured options on valuable
properties in Tacoma, and these op-
tions expire next Tuesday. The price
to be paid for one tract is $3.50, 900, if
che options held are exercised, and the
holders are Portland parties.
The Ontinna said tn have heon 0ivon
on tide lands in Seattle are nearly all
short term, and it is expected that the
movement will crystalline before the
week is over. A condition precedent
to the taking of options by the parties
is that no information be given to the
public until authorized by the prospec-
tive purchasers.

YAKIMA VALLEY ROADS
North Coast Company Announces It's
Intentions.

uuBCuU1OuuSs
North Yakima, Oct. 4.-The pur-
pose Of the North Coast Railway Com
pany, which has been organized by
Yakima men and Eastern capitalists,
is to build new system Of standard
steam railways for the Yakima valley.
Robert E. Strahorn, the vice preei-
dent and general manager Of the com
pany, has made the announcement that
the company would commence at once
to build line to the Cowlitz coal field
and the Naches pass and Sunnyside
districts. The object, he says, in 60
ing to the Cowlitz region is to tap the
coal fields of that district.
This means the forming of a juno
ton with the Tacoma Eastern, which
has been completed to the Big Bottom
country. The line will be nearly 100
miles long, beginning at Sunnyside
and ending at Cowlitz pass. This ap-
pears to be a significant move. in view
of the fact that other roads are hurry
ing to get into that country. Mr.. Stra-
horn also stated that it was the object
of the company to tap the rich miner
al and forest wealth Of the Tietan ba-
sin and the Gold Hill district and make
all this country tributary to Yakima.
The Office Of the company will be To-
GATED here and building will be COM
menced at once. The surveys Of the
road have been completed.

been made. Writing to our contem-
porary this man says:
1T is my opinion that many Of the
among hogs is due to carelessness on
the part of the owner by which the
hog is compelled to take into bis sys-
tenn large quantities of filth in his
drinking water. I know where there
are wallowing places it Is indeed a
problem to prevent this, because If
there is one thing which hog delighrs
in more than another it is to battle
himself in mud and then try to dry 1t
of in the drinking trough, and he gen.
orally succeeds quite well. And a
bunch of them can usually put three
or four inches Of mud in the bottom of
a trough in a single week. I enclose
you a drawing illustrating the plan
that l have used for some time in try
Ing to keep my troughs clean. The
trough in this case is made out of two
planks, one 2x8 and the other 2x6,
piece of eight-inch plank Is inches long
nailed on each end. To this in turn
two other planks are nailed, thus fur
nishing an agency for scraping- of
considerable mud from the hogs while
they are drinking. then nail on an
upright, as is indicated in the illustra-
ton, mortsed out SO that plank may
be raised or lowered directly above the
center Of the trough, the height de-
pending upon the size of the hogs that
have access to the trough. acknowl-
edge that it takes a little labor to
make troughs of this kind, but where
one has a big bunch of hogs 1 believe
that he can save the price of his mate
rial and labor almost every day"
