st. Anthony, Idaho. Dec. 30.-The
extension of the Oregon Short Line
from here to the Yellowstone Nation
al park. via Marysville, was begun
here today and. II the season is favor
able. the work will be pushed on with
great energy. Although the exten-
sion will be only "a miles long, II will
cost considerable, as there are great
difficulties of engineering To over
come.
The great increase in the number
Of visitors who visit the Yellowstone
National park every year. has con-
vinced T.. II. Hartman that the ex-
tension will more than pay the inter-
est on the cost Of it's construction.
The ST. Anthony route was, several
years ago. abandoned for the Monida
route into the park. Both entail a
long stage ride before the park is
reached, ana ON this account. the
Oregon Short Line never was able to
compete with the Northern Pacific
for park traffic. The latter road
reaches the very gates of the park
from the north. The St Anthony
entrance is on the western side.
This new line is only one of the
numerous additions which Mr.. Harri-
man has authorized. In all about 500
miles of new road are to be built dur
ing the year 1906 and their aggregate
cost will be about $lS,000.O00.
Another important extension which
has been authorized will be built be-
tween Drain, Ore, and the famous
Coos bay on the Pacific coast. II Is
understood that the branch really Is
the beginning of coast line between
San Francisco and Portland. The Coos
bay extension probably will be fur
ther extended down the California
coast to a connection with the Santa
Fe
A third important line is being
built from Hershey, Neb., to con
nection with the Burlington at North
port, Neb.. by which an important
link will be formed.
Then there will be a line from Ma
ton, Ore. along the Mackenzie forl
of the Willamette river to point or
the east slope OF the Cascade noun

the fire escape which they reached
from the balcony.
The fire was soon under control. At
first II was not thought that the loss
Of lives had been great and the full
extent of the disaster was not realized
until the firemen reached the upper
floors Of the house, where they found
the dead piled up six or eight high.

top horribly burned. The scenes
which followed beggar description.
The police department took charge
of the removal OF the hundreds of
bodies and they were taken TO the
various morgues and undertaking os-
Establishments where they were laid in
tification. Many OF the bodies were
so terribly burned that recognition
was impossible. Many OF the bodies
were not identified.
The case was Investigated by the
coroner and the blame fixed upon 'hc
owners and builders of the house, the
building department and some of the
employees of the theater Since then
hundreds of suits for damage grow
ing out of the loss OF life and injuries
received during the fire, have been
filed against the proprietors of the
ill-fated Iroquois theater. The amount
OF damages asked aggregates several
million dollars.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 30.-Two years
ago today the Iroquois theater was
destroyed by fire and nearly 600 lives,
mostly women and children. were lost
in the holocaust. The day is observed
here generally and. flags are at half
mast everywhere. Many OF the
churches held special memorial serv-
ices this morning and some OF the
Protestant churches will hold special
services this evening. The graves of
the hundreds of victims of the disas-
ter in the various cemeteries were
decorated with wreaths and other
floral offerings. The graves OF the
unidentified victims were also decor
ated.
The fire at the Iroquois theater
was the most appalling disaster that
ever visited this city and will long be
remembered by hundreds of families
who lost one or more Of their MEM
bers In the catastrophe. The fire
originated on the stage Of the theater
during tho matinee performance OF
December 30. 1908. at a time when
every part of the house was crowded
with the usual holiday crowds OF
women and children. The thoater
was practically new, having been
opened only few weeks previous to
the fire. The attraction was Blue
beard" which had been running there
since the opening night.
1t Is believed that sparks from one
OF the spotlights stationed on the
sides OF the stage ignited some OF the
flimsy pieces of scenery in the wings
and in few moments the blaze
spread upwards toward the flies.
Some Of the actors and employees tried
20 beat out the flames, but did not
succeed and the signal was given 10
drop the firc-proof curtain. Owing
10 the fact that rope. with which
the aerial ballet was manipulated
had been so fastened that II OBJ
structed the movements of the cur
tain. the latter could not be lowered
fpr some time. When 1t was finally
released, the fire had made such
progress on the stage, that the en-
ployes became panic-stricken ano
opened a large double door in the
rear of the stage and leading to the
court behind the theater, through
which the scenery was brought into
md out of the theater. The terrihC
draft caused the "fire-proof' curtain
n flimsy and thin AFFAIR.", to bulge ou
into the house and in few minutes
n tore and fell and immense volumes
nj smoke and flames poured into I'M
auditorium.
At that time most of the seats II
the house had been empued ny I'M
panic-stricken spectators, ana the!
were crowding through the few door
as fast as they could. When IN
smoke and flames poured into the au
ditorium, sweeping the whole interi
or. hundreds were overcome. the
fell In heaps right at the exits ant
were suffocated by the smoke an
heat. Those on top of the pie wer
scorched beyond recognition.
The situation was greatly aggra
vated by the fact that the usher'
thinking only of their own safety ha
fled for their lives, without stoppin
long enough to unlock and unbolt III
safety exits provided for on ever
floor. The spectators, finding III
safety exits bolted and locked, wei
compelled to make their exit throug
the main exits on the Randolph sire,
