SECURING
A SITE FOR
ADDITION
BOARD HAS VIRTUALLY PUR-
CHASED HALF A BLOCK BUT
MAY BE FORCED TO BRING
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS
TO SECURE THE OTHER HALF.

After holding several conferences
with the owners of the north half Of
the block lying just east Of the capi-
tol grounds, and which the state de-
sires to acquire in conjunction with
the south half for the additional cap
itol building, the state board has de-
cided that, unless the property own
erns, in the near future, decide to sell
the property to the state for what the
board considers a reasonable price, to
commence condemnation proceedings
against them, and acquire it in that
manner.
The last meeting held between the
board and the property owners was
yesterday, and, while the board tried
to prevail upon them to reduce the
purchase price, they stood pat for
$4,000. The board already has de-
cided to purchase the south half, and
have options on it for sum slightly
over $19, 900, and, as it is figured
that the future will create a demand
for the entire block, they desire also
the north half. There was $15O,OOO
appropriated by the last legislature
for the purchase of site and the
erection of building upon it, and
it is figured that the building cannot
be erected for less than 100000.
That would leave $4,000 for a site,
and, after the purchase of the south
half of the block for little over
$4,000, the board is not in posi-
ton to offer more than 100000 for
the north half, and it has made that
offer to the owners.

SMALL BLAZE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

Yesterday afternoon, about
O'Clock the alarm Of fire called out
the department, which responded
promptly, and made a good run. The
fire was in the residence of VIM.
Armstrong, 1909 Saginaw street, and
started probably from defective flue
It burned slowly, and most Of the fur
niture, etc, was carried out before
the department. arrived. The chem
ical got there first, and soon had the
fire under control though 1t burned
stubbornly. No water was used other
than that supplied by garden hose.
There was some trouble with the hy-
drant where the fire hose was first
coupled on, although 1t had been
flushed but few days before. The
valve seemed to have caught in some
manner. Fortunately, the water was
not needed. The damage Is estimated
at $3.50 to $500; insurance $500.

Indianola, Neb., May 29.-At least
eight persons were killed early to-
day in a head-on collision west of
here between two Burlington flyers,
No. 8, eastbound, and No. 10, west
bound, express trains.
The engineers on both trains are
dead, and many passengers Of both
trains are injured, some fatally.
Breaking steam pipes scalded many
Of the injured, who slowly cooked as
they were held screaming in the
twisted timbers and metals Of the
wreck.
The wreck was caused when the
engineer of No. IL disobeyed his or
ders to take a switch at Red Willow,
six miles west of here. Both engines
were reduced to scrap iron, when
they met, and FIVE cars of the west
bound flyer were deralled. The bag
gage car and smoker Of the east
bound train also were smashed.
Both the Omaha and Denver base
ball clubs of the Western league were
ON the Westbound train, en- route ia
Denver. Several Of the Denver play
ers were injured, and one fatally.
Relief trains, with surgeons and
nurses, are en- route to the scene OF

Promotion of immigration.
The State Verband of German
Speaking Societies has taken up the
matter Of systematic advertising of
Oregon to secure larger share of
German immigration. A committee
composed of Col. e. Hofer, of Salem;
State Treasurer Henry Breitbart,
with the Fleischner, Meier Company,
of Portland, and State Secretary Ed

worked out Is to publish a pamphlet
in German, setting forth the oppor-
tunities and resources of the state,
and advertise in every German news
paper in the United States and In
some in the larger centers Of immi-
grafton of Europe. The local socie-
ties are to be used to find locations
for the Germans coming to the state.
The Oregonian today has the follow
ing statement:

Washington, May 29.-The United
States supreme court today decided
that the American Tobacco company
(the tobacco trust) was monopoly
in restraint of trade, and existed in
defiance of the Sherman antitrust
law. Chief Justice White read the de-
cision of the court. Justice Harlan
dissented.
This was the decision of the United
States supreme court in effect, al
though the case was reversed and re-
manded to the lower court to secure
modification of the decision.
The case which today's decision of
the supreme court settles had its in
ception in bill of complaint filed on
July 10, 1907, before the United
States circuit court for the southern
district of New York. 1t was charged
that the S4OO, 100000 American To-
bacco company had gradually ac-
uuired monopoly of the tobacco bus
mess in the United States by series
of bold buccaneering exploits, had
stifled competition. and defied inde-
pendent dealers through network OF
subsidiary companies, operating as
Independent" dealers.
It was in 1896 that the government
claims the idea of controlling the to-
bacco interests originated with the
heads of several big manufacturing
companies james B. and BENJAMIN

can Tobacco company was shortIE
thereafter organized, the stock belng
divided among the magnates. From
time to time the parent company ao'
sorbed scores of other competing
firms, new subsidiary corporations
we're formed. and the octopus tight
ened its hold. In November, 1901
retail outlet for the trust pre-
duct was secured through the absorp
tion of the United Cigar Stores. -,
All through this period OF grown

there will be a reduction Of 80 per cent
or more from 1910 figures for the year.

ISOLATION race for president when the
time comes around for election. Har-
vey Woodruff, who has been mentioned
it is understood, will not consider the
proposition, and that brings it down
to George Rice. a well known Chicago
sporting writer Of base ball. and John
r. Richie. the Minneapolis sporting
expert.
While President Chivington has been
in the east attending the meeting of
the major league men and soliciting
votes from the American Association
owners friends Of Charles F. Moll AVE
been at work in the middle west, and
he may be sprung as a dark horse at

there is no longer any doubt.

has requested that 1t be held over until
