STORM is
MOVING TO
THE EAST
is CENTRAL TODAY IN MICHIGAN
AND IS MOST SEVERE KNOWN
IN YEARS-WILL REACH THE
ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT.

Chicago, Jan. PA blizzard unpar-
alleled in recent years is moving east
ward through the central western
states today, leaving wake of pros
trated wires and paralyzed traffic.
The center of the storm is 1ow in
Michigan, and by night it is expected
that the chill winds and snow will
reach the Atlantic coast
Intense cold accompanied the
storm, and in the larger cities the
suffering is already intense. In Chi
cago, where the thousands of striking
garment workers are practically des-
titute, the charity organizations and
the city authorities report that the
calls for aid are greater than they
can fill.
One death from the storm has been
reported. At Fargo, N D., where the
mercury reached Is below, William
Thomas was frozen to death. In other
cities conditions are described as pitt
full, Throughout the Northwestern
country trains are stalled, and in the
cities street car traffic is at a stand
still.
Cattle and sheepmen, according to
reports today, were not expecting
storms, and their herds and flocks
were unprotected. 1t is believed that
thousands of heal of stock perished.
No relief from the snow and coll is
in sight The coolest city on the map
was Bismarck, N. D., where the gov
ernment thermometer dropped to 26
below
At Minneapolis the mercury
stands at eight below. Trains there
are stalled, anil there is little traffic in
or out, of the city The few trains
that have managed to get in were
hours behind their schedules. The
snow throughout Northern Minnesn-
ta is I 6 inches deep on lie level, an
the dr,fts are, in many PAGES, Is feet
high.
In South Dakota trains, when run
at all, are from six to eight hours
late. Several trains have been an
nuled. Six Iinois eJentra trains are
reported staed near Fort Dodge, la.
In Sioux Falls, S. D., the street
car traffic is tied up, AMI 10-fot drifts

BOgert & Son, Real Estate and Tim
her Land Dealers. Salem, Ore.

There is no question that greater
opportunities for investment obtain
in the state of Oregon today than in
almest any other section of the
United States and no city is in the
center of a better section than is Sa-
lem. Not only is she destined to i'll
crease to almost double her present
population within the next five years,
but the land in the vicinity of the city
is increasing at such a rapid rate
that no better investment can possi-
bly, be found anywhere, the element
of chance being absolutely removed
through the fixed stability of the
country and it's very rapid develop
ment. Distinct leaders in the real
estate and timber land business in
Salem are Messrs. Bogert & Son
whose offices are Room 2, in the
Ladd & Bush bank building upstairs,
and through whom some Of the larg-
est real estate transactions have
been consummated. They are men of
wide and extended experience in this
field and are thoroughly familiar with

they have a carefully selected list of
splendid property which they are Of
fering at remarkably low figures.
They control more timber land than
any other firm on the Pacific Coast
and are connected with Eastern buy
ers. There are no more reliable or
trustworthy men engaged in the real
estate business than those who con-
stitute this firm and they invite the
correspondence of all who are inter-
ested in regard to Willamette Valley
lands, both in Marich and Polk coun-
ties, especially business and farm
property in and near the beautiful
Normal school, city of Monmouth.
They make specially of prompt at
tention to correspondence. Any in
formation received from them may be
regarded as absolutely reliable in
every way.

PROFESSORS AGREE THAT
VENUS is INHABITED

Vallejo, Calf. Jan. 2.-The begin
ming of the year 1911 marks the ac-
ceptance of the theory that the planet
Venus is inhabited, according to
Prof. T. j. j. See, in charge of the
U. S. observatory at Mare Island. In
answer to his declarations to that
effect, Prof. See has received mes
sages and letters from scientists all
over the world saying that they
agreed with him, he said today.
Prof. Sees idea is that Venus and
the earth are surrounded by the same
gases and has an atmosphere equally
dense. On Venus, he says, day is
20 hours long, because Venus re-
wolves much faster than the earth.

EAGLES
GUILTY ONES
Firemen Believe Company Has
Triangle -Clues Given.

For the past few days the reerea-
lions hours of the volunteer fremen
In this city have been taken up with
the all important question: VINO
has the old triangle7" 1t Is more
important, to the iremen, than the
worlds championship baseball ser
les. Ever since the famous piece or
iron was stolen from the cellar OF
the home of Jeppe SondergaaTd, at
that time residing at 20 Market
street, many conjectures have been
| made as to the probable ownership,
| at the present time, Of the historic
old alarm.
Every clue to the whereabouts of
| the stolen triangle points towards
the door Of the Eagle Hose and
| Chemical Company, of Davidson
avenue, and when the EVENING
NEWS took up the chase again to-
day, the same evidence was uncover
ed. In an effort to secure definite
news, a well known member OF that
| company was called by telephone
and asked to make an admission OF
the true whereabouts of the lost ar
Etfcle. But he was loyal to his COM
pany and refused to commit HIM
self.
Whe masked IL 1t would be amiss
to print q story to the effect the tri-
angle will appear at the next annual
banquet of the Eagle company,
| which takes place around the first
OF the year, he Iaughlngly replied.
ssWell, 1t sounds Hike pretty good
stuff" He would not deny the
company OF which he Is q member
has the famous bell but very glad
ly gave the reporter all kinds of In
formation about other clues which
lead away from the home Of the
Eagles.
Every year the Eagles have q big
blow out, and, granting the triangle
is in their possession, will probably
have a parade and at that time re-
produce the famous alarm to the
envy OF the other firemen and the
Joy of the members CT this enter
prising ard progressive company.

WILL INSTALL
NEW LOCKERS


Believing that the installation OF
the newly purchased lockers for the
high school will seriously interfere
with the passing of the classes, II is
the intention of several members OF
the faculty to start a petition which
will be signed by the several teach
ers, and present the same to the
| Board Of Education at their next
meeting, asking that the lockers be
| placed in the cloak rooms. rather
than in the hallway. The teachers
say that the halls are in a most con-
gested condition now. when the
classes pass, especially the upper
hall. which is somewhat narrow.
They also contend that the placing
of the lockers In the halls, viii pre-
rent holding the class parties and
receptions there In the future, as
they believe they will be more OF a
disagreement than an ornament.
Superintendent Shull, and Chair
man Fletcher, of the Building Com
mittee, are heartily In favor of the
scheme. and see nothing but success
to come fromit. They have inouir-
ed extensively, and have found that
the lockers are in use in a number
OF schools and colleges. Regarding
the passing of the pupils in the up
per hall, which will be necessarily
more congestsd when the lock-
.ers are in place. they believe that
everything will be simpiified when
the new addition Is completed, and
both stairways are In use 1t has
been planned to place about eighty
of the lockers In the upper hall, and
about forty in the lower. Lockers
for the boys and girls basketball
teams will also be placed In the base
ment, where they may keep their
athletic goods
A representative OF the r. w. JEFF
freys & Company. of Camden. who
have the contract fer the work. was
in town a few days ago and In con-
sultation with superintendent Shull
and members OF the building COM
mittee. Several blue prints were
shown, and it was decided to have
ventilated lockers, believing hat
these will prove more sanitary, They
will arrive this week, and will be
placed In position at once.

STANDARD OIL AN ISSUE
IN FLAiNFlELD COUNCIL

Plainheld, Oct. 1.-THE city
council at it's adjourned meeting to-
night will consider the question of
amending the building code SO as to
permit the Standard Oil company 10
erect large tanks here for the stor-
age of gasoline and kerosene. Dur
ing the past two weeks considerable
opposition has developed to the plan.
for the reason that the company will
not be compelled to place the tanks
underground. This, 1t Is believed,
would establish a bad precedent.
1t is known that many of the
councilmen think that the privilege
should be granted because the COM
pany has promised to remove its
tanks from the center of the city,
where they have been an eye-sore
and more or less dangerous, to an
isolated spot in the East End.
