on Ladd's 'Crystal Springs farm JuBt out
side the city limits south of Scllwood. live
farmhands wire robbed at tlie muzzles
of two revolvers and one of- the men,
August Schaffer. a German, was shot
down because iio offered resistance to
the thugs. Schaffer is now at St. Vin
cent's Hospital in a critical condition
and the police, who arrived on the scene
of the shootins soon after It occurred
are scouring the country for the robbers.
ijchafrer, Sirrton Rambo. Edward
Spencer, Tony Skanderup and Fred
Rocfta, all laborers employed on the
Crystal Springs farm, were paid off last
niiiht and started to the city about 7:30
o'clock. The men had left the greater
' part of their earnings at the farmhouse
but each had taken enough with him for
some small purchases. The house which
is occupied by the superintendent, F. E.
Mctehlowney, and hi3 men sits back from
the public road about a Quarter of a mile
and a dark lane leads from it. The shoot
ing occurred about half way down this
lane where it crosses a bridge over the
Southern Pelllc railroad tracks.
Stopped at Park Bridge.
The tiye men started from the house
together, but Rambo soon took the lead
and walked a few yards 'ahead of his
'companions. When they reached the
Ijrldge. two men who had been hiding
behind a small embankment stepped for
ward and thrusting their revolvers in
the men's faces, ordered them to throw
up their hands. All of Ihe victims except
Spencer, are foreigners and speak very
little English and attempted to remon
strate before obeying orders. While the
others lined up in a row with their hands
above their heads Rambo took to his
heels and ran for the road.
One 'of the thugs stood guard over
the four men while the other rifled
their pockets. Spencer was relieved of
J5. Slcand-rup of $". and Itoefta of 67
cents, but when the searcher passed
on to Schaffer the latter cried a warn
ing to his friends and attempted to
fjrab the highwayman's revolver.
Schaffer" companions either failed to
understand his warning: or were
paralyzed with fright, for they stood
motionless while he wrestled with the
robber.
Schaffer is lnrge and strong and. no
doubt, would have overcome the thug
had not the confederate intervened.
Stepping to where his accomplice was
out of range the robber shot Schaffer
in the side and the fight was over.
Turning their weapons on the other
three men the thugs sent them run
ning to the road. The robbers then
started south on the railroad track
and Schaffer was left alone.
Posse Starts in Pursuit.
Schaffer staggered back to the house,
white with fear and excitement and
nearly exhausted. He could not make
Jlr. McKldowney understand him until
an interpreter was secured. By that
time the highwaymen had ten minutes'
start and the searching party organized
on the farm could find no trace of
them. Jlr. McKldowney telephoned for
the -ambulance and Schaffer was re
moved to St. Vincent's Hospital.
In the meantime Rambo had gone to
the risidence of Morris Mann, nearby,
and notified the police. Chief Grltz
inacher immediately dispatched to the
scene eight officers, headed by Detec
tives Baty and Coleman. The officers
secured a description of the two men
and for many hours searched tho vicin
ity. -Up to a late hour no trace of the
robbers had been found.
tcl:iaffer, who regained consciousness
when he reached, the hospital,, said in
(ierraan that he did not regret his in
juries, as he had saved his money and
cheated the thieves.
Holdup on Macadam Houd.
Another hold-up occurred at 10 o'clock
last night on the Macadam road. A.
Tlowd, who lives at 1054 Macadam road,
reported to the police that three men
drewed in dark clothes and with hats
pulled over their eyes halted and
searched him. Howd said he did not
have a cent of money with him. Police
man Newell, on whose beat the affair
happened, met Howd just after the hold
up and searched the neighborhood with
out tinding the men.

ORKGjONIAX NEWS .BUREAU,'. Wash
ington; ' Jan."' 31. According to i a report
from Consul U Edwin Dudley, of Van
couver, American capitalists 1 are soon to
begin the construction . of a standard
gauge steam railroad " from Kamloops, B.
C, to Salmon River, a distance of 40
miles. The work will 'begin' as early in
the Spring' as' the weather will permit.
Discussing this project, Consul Dudley
says
. The oiinlgal purpose for the building- of
this line is to provide trausportattpn fa
cilities for the large beds of gypsum on the
Salmon River. The plans include at $100.
OOO plant at Kamloops. where the gypsum
will he manufactured into plaster of parls
and bv-products. employing 20J .to.JiOO men.
There are iSS acres of gypsum deposits at
Salmon River. The country through which
tho new railway will pass is, according to
experts, particularly well adapted to fruit
growing, and it is expected that there will
be a great agricultural development In the
region.
The Dominion Railway Commission some
time ago issued an order that railways must
discontinue the use of acetylene gas and
requiring the use of Plntsch gas. The
Canadian Pacific Railway has made the
changes required. The changes necessary to
adapt the pipes and fixtures that had been
in use were not many cor expensive, the
principal change Jeing in the burners. The
changes have all, been made on the entire
line, at Montreal! Winnipeg and Vancouver

Fire originated from a defective fur

the Reed estate, rendered 12 families tem
porarily homeless and damaged badly the
four flats situated at 4H!. 4tiO',i. 471 and
471M. Jefferson street. v The personal be
longings - of the various tenants were
nearly all saved.
The tire started about 8:30 o"olock and
was discovered by Chief Campbell, of the
Fire Department, who lives across . the
street. The Chief rang in an alarm and
then he. and one of the tenants of the
buildings fought the tire with a small
garden hose until the department ar
rived. Smoke and flarme burst from tjie
basement windows and drove them too
far away for their small stream to be
of any service, and in a few minutes the
lire had sained sufficient headway to
render their efforts fruitless.
By the time the firemen arrived the fire
had gained the first floor and the build
ings, being of wood, were quickly con
sumed. CHILLY WEATHER

High hopes are entertained that much
ot the fiber of the cotton stalks In the

BUSINESS BACK
TO NORMAL
Remarkable Change for Better
Noted During Past Month
' in Portland.
PROVED BY ALL STATISTICS
Every Known Trade Barometer
Slioivs Steady JIisc,..lciKtiiig tlie
rassing Over of the I'inanctal
Storm of Last October.
Although the financial sb'iitftenc?
and its depressing- effect on business
had begri)n to yield before theien'd o
December, the month just clotted has
been the real turning point in (lie re
vival 'of business and the .restoration
of normal conditions. There was a re-
markable change" for the better during
the month In every line of activity,
as is shown not only by statistics, but
also by the improved feeling notice
able in the business world.
"The ice has certainly been broken
in my line," said a realty broker last
night, as he pocketed a substantial
check for a large commission, and he
but echoed a sentiment that is general
among others than realty dealers.
Architects and contractors report
more business, and bank clearances
show a healthy increase. Merchant
say their sales for January were never
larger. In several lines, the records of
Ja'tuwy. 1907, one of .the most pros
perous months in the history, . of ; the
city,' ""were broken." .--.- -
Perhaps the ' best record-of all was
made in: building.' The total .expendi
ture for -building - during ' the ..month
was $623.345,- an increase over the pre
ceding January, when the total was
$04.47a. It is .true ;.that.,. the ..past
month did not equal a number of
months in the past, but it was-an exj
ceedingly good showing for this sea
son of the. year. Winter . is not a fa
vorable season for building -operations
in Portland, but the demands of
growing business and increasing pop
ulation make necessary the "erection of
numerous structures immediately.
The most noticeable feature of the
building movement is the' big gain in
January-. as compared i.with. December.
Last month almost doubled the' record
of its immediate predecessor, the ex
penditure during December being only
$319,845. Numerically, the ' total was
more than doubled,- 1 32 -separate per
mits being issued in December and 297
in January. .. . .' . . ' ."
This increase is, without doubt, in
dicative of returning prosperity, for
building statistics constitute a barom
eter that can be trusted. The fact
that $349,000 was spent in residence
construction during the past month
is also worthy of note. . There
is every reason to believe that build
ing operations will continue heavy,
for several important building pro
jects have already been announced, to
be taken up in the Spring.
In postal receipts the increase was
13.9 per cent, or $7,235.63 over Janu
ary. 1907. The Eales for the month
amounted to $3S32.27, as compared
with $31,706.62 for the corresponding
j month. This gain is much larger than
was expected by Postmaster Minto,
even in view of tlie steady increase in
the business of the Portland, office.
The total for January is lower than
that for December, but that is always
the case, as the Christmas business
always keeps December well ahead of
any other month. "
The volume of real estate transfers
is still low as compared with the av
erage for Portland, but shows con
siderable progress over December. In
December the transfers were below
the $300,000 mark, while for January
.the total is $879,741. In volume, how
ever, the sales were well up to the
average. 997 transactions beirsj; car
ried through.
This indicates a very healthy move
ment in small properties, while large
sales are now picking tip tigain. and
it will not be long before Ine trans
fers are as heavy as during the Win
ter of 1906-1907. "

SALE CREATES MONOPOLY
TlicrcforeBcU Telephone Can't Con
trol Kellogg Switchboard.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1. Judge Windes, in
the County Circuit Court today, ren
dered a decision under which " the
American- Telephono & Telegraph Com
pany, known as the Bell Company, is
directed to return to the original own
er 4331 shares of stock in the Kellogg
Switchboard - & Supply Company, of
this city. The court declared that
the holding' of the Kellogg stock by
the American Company was contrary
to law, in that it tended to create a
monopoly. 1
The Kellogg Company was organized
in 1892 by Milo Kellogg, who later
went to California because of illness,
leaving a power of attorney with Wal-"
lace de Wolf. He later, , it is de
clared, transferred all of Kellogg's
stock to the American Company and,
as the Kellogg Company made a spe
cialty of manufacturing for independ
ent telephone companies, the effect on
the trade of the transfer of the stock
was felt severely.

The "Teresa Carreno" Program
Can be played by means of a perforated roil ONLY on the .
APOLLO" Player-Piano
At her concert on Monday evening, we ask you to note particularly
that in every number on her programme MADAM CARRENO makes
use of the keys ot notes in the lowest and highest octaves of the
piano. She plays tlie niusi; exactly as it is written.
The "APOLLO" PLAYER-PIANO has the standard keyboard
of 88 notes, or 7 1-3 octaves, and also has 88 playing pneumatics
one for each note. The "Pianola," "Cicilian" and "A. B. Chase"
players have ONLY 65 PLAYING PNEUMATICS, .onsequenlly
they make use of only 65 NOTES of tlie piano. 2-i of tlie notes re
maining silent 12 at one end and 11 at the oilier.
If they were to play by means of the perforated roll, any piece
on the' "Carreno" programme, they would have to leave out entirely
the notes at the upjier and lower ends of the piano.
The MELVILLE CLARK "APOLLO" PLAYER-PIANO will
-render any composition for the piano exactly as the score is written,
without any abbreviation or mutilation whatever, which destroys the
beauty of the piece.
We cordially invite you to call and make comparisons yourself
we have both 65 -note and 88-note players, and will cheerfully play
the same pieces on both styles. After this comparison we are confi
dent you will wonder that a 65-note player-piano can be "sold at all.
We are the only dealers in Portland that have 88-note Player-Pianos.
