FIRE DESTROYS COLISEUM Old Prliefight Arena and Dancchall I Burned to Ground.. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Nov. 20. The Coliseum building, an Immense museum haH, the scene of prizefights and dances', and more recently of a passion play, was destroyed by fire early this morning. , , . The cloeenese -u! the blase brought panic to scores or Hat-dwellers. ar also was felt in the Southern Pacific General Hospital, across the street, but the patients .were not removed. The streets in places were piled with house hold goods, and men. women and chil dren in scant attire ran frantically about. ., The loss Is placed at more than I00.- 000. RAISIN . TRUST IS FLAYED Woman Grpwer Denies California ' ' Crop. Is I-ong. "in 'contradiction of reports said to have been sent out. .by. the. packing in terest of California that the raisin crop of tlat-stat for, 1909 is long, and advising- dealers te refrain from buying at present prices, tt Ig-declared by Mrs. B. Al .SIowaC an .independent grower, that the rrop is short from. 10.000 to 15.000 tons' "The Packers' Association of Fresno is aendiSHT -out Lclnrular letters, to the trade eavlngtha the crop Is not only long but that a law proportion of the fruit iss'n-.ln the.-;, hands of- - the growers. Tlit! Is "not the sitnation," said -Mrsj-ro'war. -Oftithe contrary.- It la a fact that not to exceed 5H00 tons of raisins are now -Wia by growers. and the packinr trust is attempting- to bear the market. In 1907. when, the San Joaquin Valley and Fresno srew the biggest crop of grapes and raisins in their history, the trust attempted to bull prices. It is a game to freeze out the Independent packers and absolutely to control the prices paid to growers. Tn California the trust owns and controls' a seeding patent for the use of which it demands a royalty of from one-fourth to one cent a pound. Grow ers are willing to concede the minimum but no more, because they have found that if they abandon the use of all other seeders, the trust will then at tempt to dictate the price of raisins to the grower. It costs three cents a pound to put the goods on the market. We are willing to take four cents a pound and let the packers make a profit on the goods wholesaled at six and a half cents per pound, but when they ask us to accept three and a half cents a pound and then charge a seed ing royalty of one cent a pound, we are on" the way to the poorhouse. "Some of the growers are beginning to put out their own fruit; They are the ones who have a little fighting spirit in their makeup. I am person ally using an independent seeder and am packing the fruit grown on my own 200 acres of land. The first car I put up last year was brought to Portland and sold to Olds. Wortman & King. The trust has brought suits against every seeder used-In California, claim- HEIGHTS RESIDENCE NEAKS COMPLETION. ' ing Infringements of patents, and Is using every, means In Its power to crush the grower. .The trust Is com posed of the following named firms, all doing business as the Consolidated Seeded Raisin Packing Company: Phoe nix Packing Company, Fresno Home Packing Company. J. K. Armsby Pack ing Company. J. B. Inderrlddan Com pany, Guggenheim Packing Company. Rosenberg Brothers, Castle Brothers, California Canners' Association, Grlf-fin-Skelly Packing Company, Maddlson & Bonner' Packing Company, and four other smaller concerns. These packers were for years known as the 'high five and the low five' cliques." FARM LIDS OBJECTIVE NEW SETTLERS IX TOWNS OXL.Y OS THEIR WAY OUT. "Booster1 Missionary Finds Country Growing and Values Where They Belong. Secretary Tom Richardson, of the Com mercial Club, returned from a missionary tour In Eastern Washington yesterday, cloAing a five weeks' trip to various por tions of the state which have become a part of the club's plan o "boost" har moniously for the Stat' of Oregon and the Northwest. On his last Journey the secretary stopped in Lewlston, Spokane, Pasco and Kennewick. it i a nlMuure to renort the trosner- nfi!ttrm rt thnAe towns." Said Mr. Richardson. "Immigration is coming to all of them, and after people get -there they seem to stay. It Is noticeable that fully two-thirds of the immigrants are buying country lands, and that those who are staying in the towns seem to be using those places merely for convenience, their ultimate purpose being to get farm or fruit lands. , "Prices of land are about right, and In no place did I find a diepoaition to ad vance values unduly, because of Immigra tion and the Interest displayed in Oregon at this time. Competition -la now so keen that no county or town can afford to In dulge in questionable methods. "There is a great future In store for Pasco and Kennewick. both tributary to Portland, on either aide of the Colombia. Forty thousand acres of irrigated lands will eoon come In up there, and every pound of the produce will come down the North Bank road. The ditches are going in as fast as men and money can build them, and it appears that about three set tlers stand ready to take every tract of land as fast as It Is opened." Alma Bell to Testify Monday. AUBURN. Cal.. Nov. 20. The Alma Bell trial was adjourned at noon today until Monday, when the young girl on trial for the murder of her lover, Joe Armes, will herself take the stand. n ! 1 1 r7, ' fii ! . i rn - ' -if ; . wk,. . - . ., : .

Officer Incurred Enmity of Council men by Strict Enforcement of Building Laws. Building Inspector Dobson will tender his resignation to Mayor Simon In the near future, and it will be accepted. Mr. Dobson will engage in private business on his own behalf, and is entirely willing to retire from public office. He has been head of the department for two Guy E. Bobson, Buildlns; Inspec tor, Who Win Soon Retire years, during one of the most active building periods in Portland's history and has given general satisfaction, but there is an element which has steadfastly opposed him, and a change has been Im minent for some time. About one year ago Mr. Dobson incur red the enmity of the then so-called "solid ten," that, number of Council men at the time having absolute con trol of the Council. The fight was started when Mr. Dobson refused to recognize the right of the Council to grant to Sen ator Nottingham a special permit to erect a frame building in the fire limits on the East Side contrary to the building code. It continued bitterly for a long time. Certain architects who were unfavorable to Mr. Dobson also endeavored to work his downfall, but having the full support of Dr. Lane, who was Mayor at the time, he won his case and remained as Build ing Inspector. When the new regime took office July 1 of this year, the feeling against Mr. Dobson was ' revived by certain archi tects, and two months ago Councilman Lombard intended introducing an ordin ance abolishing the office, so as to get rid of the inspector, but It was found that Mr. Dobson intended to resign soon and the matter was dropped.
