Moving It to 8alem.

commission, submitted a communi
cation suggesting that tha board taae
sterja to secure the lorestry building
r ...... . m i.
erected at the L-ewii ana tiara iair
and move it to Bsieni.
Mr. Albert said that neither the city
ol Portland nor the Oregon Historical
cletv has taken action toward preserv
ing the building, and ne tnongm h
wonld be a eood plan to move the
structure to Balera and erect it in the
state (air grounds near the boutbern
Pa-.iflc track, where all persons passing
on the traina could aee it. He thought
the huee atructure ol logs would not
only be an attraction at the state fair,
but when so situated won ia oe a per
petual advertisement Ior Oregon's tin
liar reourcea.
The Board ol Agriculture appointed
a committee composed of W. H. Down.
ing, J. D. Matlock and Frank Lee to
ascertain the cost of transporting the
buiidinK to Balem. and also whether
tbe owner ol the land upon which the
building now stands will permit it to
remain there until the leigslature meeta

Into Hudson in Terror.
New York, Dec. 25 While tbe Del
zwsre, Lackawanna 4 Western ferry
boat Montclair waa crowded from end
to end on a trip tonight Irom the loot
ol Christopher street to uoDosen, ore
burst out beneath the midst ol the
inner row of seats in the men s camn
on the starboard side. So audden was
the outbt rst of flames that tnose sit
ting on the seats had narrow escapes
Irom burning.
The shouts ol fire sent tne passengers
in a rush to the open ends ol the boat,
men almost pushing one snotDer into
the wster. The panic spread to the
women's cabin, which was also crowd
ed, there being 1,000 psssengers on ths
boat. The Montclair was in miusuwu.
As quickly ss they could msse tneir
wsy to the fire extinguishers, the deck
hands took them down and plsyed on
the fire, which quickly becsme only a
smudge ol Btifling smoke.
The boat was driven mu speea, wim
whistle shrieking, to the Hoooaen
lir,. The Dassenaere rasned asnore
and the fire department put out what
remained oi the blaze. It s supposea
that a smouldering cigar atub com
mnnioated fire to rubbish and started
the blaze.
