UNITED rREss LEASED w1Rn.I

Portland, Ore, April Slight
hundred thousand acres of land
stretching in a 12-mile strip be-
tween Albany on the west and On
tario on the east, containing 4,000,-
100000 feet of pine and fir timber
100000 acres of agriculture and
grazing land and surrounding six
whole towns. has just been sold.
The land is that embraced in the
Willamette valley and Cascade
mountain road land grant and was
purchased by w. P. Davidson, John
E. Burchard 0. A. Robertson and
Joseph Wood, a company of St.
Paul capitalists. The price con-
tracted to be paid is not announced,
but it is estimated at not less than
$4,000,000 and may be considerably
more.
The land was owned by Charles
Altschul, who is the American rep
resentative of Lazard Freres, of
Paris and London. He, represent
ing the foreign owners, has held the
land intact as far as possible, so
that the grant is not now much diff
ferent than it was when made to
the original grantees by the govern
ment in 1865.
1t is stated positively that j. j.
Hill is not interested or affiliated
with the deal in any way, though he
has given the purchasers assurance
that he will parallel the grant and
penetrate it with a railroad. The
purchasers are buying it, therefore,
on the strength of future railroad
development in Eastern and Central
Oregon.

ceived Is, 900 Albanians were armed
and advancing against the loyalists.
The mountaineers from the Alban-
ian Alps are the most feared by the
Turks, for the reason that they are
absolutely fearless fighters, and are
more vindictive than those who re-
side in the foothills and lowlands.
From meagre reports received,
large numbers of Albanians have
gathered at Ipek, Djakovitza and Vut-
chitra, and throughout the district
the rebel forces are being constantly
augmented.
While it is denied by government
officials, it is reported on good au-
thority that orders have been tele-
graphed to garrisons at Uskup, Sa-
lonika and Monastir to prepare
troops for immediate departure to
the revolving territory.
Constantinople, April 8.-The re-
ports of growing revolt in the Bal
kans and the determination of the
Albanians to again seat Abdul Ha-
mid on the Ottoman throne is arous-
ing alarm in the ranks of the Young
Turk party.
1t is believed here although no
definite verification can be gained,
that Abdul Hamid is reduced to
idiocy and that were the sceptor
thrust into his hands again he
never would be more than nominal
ruler.
The Young Turks are torn be-
tween desire to reveal the real
physical condition or the former
ruler and the fear that such revela-
tion may cause reaction against
their policies that would sweep
them from control of the govern
ment.
A combination of circumstances
has aroused a growing feeling of
bitterness against the Young Turks
among the more fanatical elements
of the empire and the Young Turks
look upon the Albanian revolt as
containing dangerous elements.
Torn between desire for modern
foreign policy and a reformation OF
conditions at home,- the Young
Turks are believed to face crisis in
their affairs
