DEMAND FOR COAL
STRIKE WILL CAUSE BIG ADVANCE
 IN PRICES.
Operators of Alabama Will Not Look with Favor On a Sky Rocket Mnr- ket.--Dr. Cunningham Speaks
 To Boys.

Birmingham, Feb. 4.-(Special. l--In- dications point strongly to an unlocked | for demand for coal after April l, when the big strike in Pennsylvania and other States, recently ordered by the | United Mine Workers of America, goes | into effect. There are no doubts but Alabama will be offered contracts for coei If the strike mentioned keeps up two weeks. and there will be need for great quantities of coal from whatever point 1t can be secured.
 Coal operators In this State declare | that they are not anxious to see strike come on in the North and West, as al- ready their demands are strong enough to warrant steady operation at the mines in this section. A prominent
 coal sales agent fer a large company
 this morning said: ,r
 T have no doubt but that contracts will be offered Alabama coal producers
 If the strike in Pennsylvtnia and other States comes on as it Is announced that 1t will, provided the strike holds a few
 weeks. I am not pleased at the out
 look. The coal trade right now is very
 good and am sorry to see any greater
 demand or an unusual market. The
 steady demand, with prices firm and steady, Is a better market than one that will soar high. Alabama coal pro- ducers are shipping as much coal as they can mine; and 1t will not be a good thing If new market was opened up."
 Officials of the United Mine Workers In this State assert that the big strike threatened fnthe North and West will not enect the Alabama coal regions. It is assured that the national organi- zation among the union coal miners is stili contributing heavily to the strike in Alabama, winch began in July 1904. The strike in this State has cost the na- tional organization large sums of money already, and there are yet no in- dicatfons that the differences In Ala bama are to be settled in the near flu ture. The strike in this State has been exceptionally orderly. large amount of coal is being mined by convicts and non-union men.

Terrible Mountain Fire.

The Albady Herald on Friday
had the following relative to the
big FIRE in the mountains to wards
the Front:
A timber fire in the Cascade
mountains along the line of the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad is
threatening to develop into a
most destructive agent, and her
culean efforts are being made to
quench the flames or to conhne
hem to the territory in which
they are now raging. A fire start
ed on the Marion county bank OF
of the Santiam near the water
tank six miles this side of Detroit
on Wednesday. At first the fire
was not thought to be dangerous.
Buta high wind came up and in
a short time the fire had extended
into fine body of timber, and
Wednesday night it covered what
is known as the bald hill on the
Marion county side of the c. &
E. railroad.
A fire train carrying a party OF
woodsmen went to the scene,
and all night and all day Thurs
day the flames were fought. The
train came to the city late last
night, and after midnight was
again sent out with a large party
of fre6ghters, Is men joining
the train at Mill City from the
forces of the Curtiss Lumber COM
pany, and vigorous efforts will
be made to confine the FIRE to the
$50 acres of timber that were
burning last night.

was burning bel0ugs I'd the G.

No "ROIIerS" Wanted.

Perhaps Corvallis is better
known throughout the United
States today through its Holy
Roller notorietv than from any
other sort of advertising" that
it has ever received. So wide
spread has been the discussion OF
thispe culiar religion, so-called,
and so disguised have the people
become over what has been pub
lished in regard to the orgies
carried on by the sect in the past,
in Corvallis, that there is no
village, town or city but that is
familiar with the facts. In this
connection the following item in
Fridays Oregonian from Lander,
Wyoming, is of interest in Ben
ton county where Holy Rollerism
first appeared:
Citizens of this town are up
in arms against a COLONY of
"Holy Rollers" who are to ar
rive here tomorrow morning with
the idea of registering claims on
the Shoshone reservation and
founding a town near this city.
1t is understood that another
colony is On the way from Calf
ornia and Oregon.
''When news of their coming
was received, an indignation
meeting was held, at which con-
servative citizens vowed that
members of the, peculiar sect
should not be given a tootho1d.
The hotheaded ones advocated
driving them from the district
with rifles" .+.

A Peculiar Accident.

john Harris, well-known
rancher OF northern Benton, was
considerably injured in an acci-
dent Friday afternoon, in Cor
wallis. Mr. Harris had pur-
chased a keg of nails at a local
hardware store and had started
to the Strong sawmill for a load
of lumber. He had the bed off
his wagon and the keg of nails
was placed on the gear and Mr..
Harris sat on the keg. In the
vicinity OF the Waldou home tue
keg overturned and Mr.. Harris
was thrown under the wagon,
the wheels passing over his chest
The ribs were severely sprung,
but fortunrtely none were broken,
and while the injury proved
very painful, it is miracle that
it was not much more serious.
A telephone message to Ben
Harris, a brother residing near
Wells, and another to Mrs. Har-
lis, brought both to the bedside
of the injured man, but Mr.. Har-
ris was able to be taken home
Friday evening, and no furthe,
serious results are anticipated.
After the accident Mr.. Harris
was taken to the Bryant home,
where he was made as comfort
able as possible, a local physi-
clan being summoned to attend
him.

The ASYLUM FIRE.
Inmates Calm While Building
Burns.

An Oregonian dispatch of Fri
da v says:
Fire which probably originated
from an electric light wire, burn.
ed the woodwork out of the attic
of one of the central wards of the
State Insane Asylum this forenoon.
The fire was confined to the one
ward, and was at no time in dan
ger of getting beyond the control
of the fre6ghters. The two fire
companies, composed of asvlum
employees, aided by the Salem
FIRE department and by convicts
and guards from the penitentiary,
saved the building. The loss is
due chiefly to damage from water
seeping through the floors and
ceilings. Superintendent CAL
breath thinks the damage can be
repaired for 81, 500, though it
may cost IS, 900.
Owing to the fact that the
patients at the asylum are given
weekly fire drill, they were
quickly marched out of the build
ing and were at no time in any
danger. One attendant, G. V.
Boegs, tainted from exhaustion
after an hours hard work in the
smoke and heat. The night of
the fire the patients were sleeping
in their beds in all three of the
wards over which the fire burned.
The fire originated in the attic
over the first tier of wards north
of the central section of the build
ing. These wards are occupied
by new patients and patients who
are convalescing.
The patients were entirely
calm and showed no excitement
whatever. Those patients who
were in wards distant from the

NOT JUST YET.
So Says Hammond, the Railroad
King, Regarding ExtentiOns.

Reports of alleged sales of the
c. and E. railroad have been SO
numerous in Corvallis in times
past that people have come to re-
gard such stories in the light of
stale jokes. The latest of these
was circulated in this city recent
lv. when it was darkly insinuated
by some who professed to be
next that the c. and +. had
changed hands, the purchaser,
it was claimed, being the Chicago
and Northwestern. This line,
the report went, owned enough
timber along either side of the
route to more than pay for the
road, and it was further stated
that bonds had already been float
ed to pay for the line complete.
Inquiry at the local G. and E.
office failed to elicit any facts to
substantiate the report, and in
further contradiction comes a
statement from A. B. Hammond,
the railroad man whose word is
law. The statement appeared in
Fridays Oregon Journol and is
as follows:
"There will be no extensions
of any of our roads in Oregon
this year. What I said to the
Journal on this subject was cor
rect. We are not planning any
construction work. Labor is too
scarce, materials are too high, V
said A. B. Hammond, who with
II. E. Huntington controls the
Corvallis & Eastern and the As
toria & Columbia River railroads
'How about the report that
you will extend the A. & c. R.
to Tillamook and the G. & E.
across central Oregon?
swell, l didn't say anything,
did I?' ..3tst
''Wil1 you extend these lines
at alp"
''Some day."
And another reported exten-
sion of the Corvallis & Eastern
from Idahnah to Ontario goes
glimmering. For long time
this survey has been partly made,
and in view of the company's
ownership of a land grant exten-
ding across the state, furnishing
practically a ready right of way,
it has been expected that such an
extension would be made some
day. Mr.. Hammond admits that
"solne day" it will, but that is as
far as he is willing to 60 in any,
official statement. He says that
these roads have been extended or
sold by rumor many times but
that there is nothing doing. ..

Tire Story OF a White Lie.

Is a white lie ever justified ? That
at least some people believe it has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to a
city where all the people were truth
full, married one of the inhabitants,
had two children and prospered.
One day neighbor called when the
rabbits wife was washing her head,
and the rabbi, going to the door, was
seized by false modesty and said
that she had gone out. Thereupon
both of his children died, and, as
no one died in that city before
reaching old age, the neighbors
made inquiries, the rabbi confessed
what he had done and was ordered
to leave the city Immediately.
