to the stock of goods, mostly through
the smoke discoloring dress articles.
The janitor had Just built a fire in
the furnace and gone upstairs. - On re
turning, he could not enter the base
ment, so great was the smoke. An
alarm was quickly turned In and the
department hurried to the scene. The
dense and almost stifling smoke made
the work of the firemen exceedingly
hard. By the use of a new nozzle
which effectively scattered water, the
blaze was extinguished.

ASTOrtlA. 'Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.)
1'nitcd stales Senator Fulton left today
for Washington to attend the coming

Another matter the Senator will take
up at thla session la his ' proposed
amendment to. the railway rate law.
This measure has 'already been Intro
duced and is now In. ..e handa of a

that upon application ' by any parties
affected, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shall have power to declare any
proposed Increase In freight rates in
operative until after a hearing on the
question haa been held before the Com

ment been in force at that time, all the
trouble that arose over the Increase
In lumber rtes made by the railroads
of the Northwest some months ago
would have been obviated.

ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.)
One of the biggest land deals ever made
in this part of the state, and one which
presages unprecedented development
for Lincoln and Benton Counties, was
consummated here today, when a party
of Minneapolis capitalists purchased
S0.000 acres of the old Corvallls A Ya
qulna Bay wagon road grant The deal
was closed by A. Snyder, representing
the purchasers, and Fish & Hodges, of
this city, representing the Eastern own
ers of the old grant, and the considera
tion is said to have been in the neigh
borhood of 8J50.000.
The land embraced In this transaction
extends from Blodgett. Benton County,
almost to Toledo, county seat of Lin
coln County, on Yaqulna Bay, and along
both sidea of the Corvallls & Eastern
Railroad. The new purchasers will di
vide the land Into 10, 20 and 40-acre
tracts, and will bring Eastern people
West by the carload to view the tract.
The company haa already arranged to
bring 300 families from St. Louis early
In the Spring for the purpose of locat
ing. The land will be used principally
for dairing and for fruit and nut cul
ture. The men who have purchased this
tract have formed the Yiqulna Valley
Fruit 4 Land Company to exploit the
tract. The company includes as fls
leading members J. B. Streeter and
George E. Adams, of the J. B. Streeter
Company, of Minneapolis; George W.
Taylor, general agent of the Central
Cnlon Life Insurance Company, at
Minneapolis, and A. Snyder, who closed
the deal here today. The company will
establish Its Eastern office In Minne
apolis, and will have Western offices in
Portland and Albany. The Western of
fices will be In charge of A. Snyder and
Fish A Hodges, of this city.
The old Corvallls V Yaqulna Bay
wagon road grant originally included
all of the odd sections for six miles on
each side of the old wagon road, which
follows the general course of the Cor
vallls & Eastern Railroad, from Wren
to Toledo. Very little of this tract waa
sold until two years ago.
This deal, which should mean the
Immigration of thousands of people to
Oregon and the settling up of virgin
land, means development for the coun
try lying along the western end of the
Corvallls A Eastern Railroad. The
land is valuable for fruitraislng and
for dairying purposes, hut Is practically
