Miscreant Makes Two Attempts to Burn Independence Sash and Door Factory. Spontaneous Combustion Theory Abandoned When Second Fire waa Discovered 8aturday Morning. Fire waa discovered 11 J. S. Bohan- nou's Bush aid door factory Friday even'ng at about 8 o'clock, but the f luniks were extinguished before ser ious damage resulted. At the sound of the fire alarm una run to the fac tory to find that a box containing oiled rags, excelsior and other com bustible substance had been ignited id id the fl.iuit s running across the floor. The burning box waa removed and what might have been a seri ous conflagration wa abated. Ano her fire was discovered in the eanie building at an, early hour Sat urdiiy morning and this was also dis covered before much damage occur red. Mr. Bchannon thought when t&3 firBt fire was discovered that it waa att miptd arson, but others attribut ed the cause to spontaneous combust tlon. After the second fire was start ed, however, In another part of the m il and under altogether different circumstances, it la generally be lieved that some miscreant intended to dtstroy the property in that vici nity. Mr. Bohannon is at loss to know why anyone should undertake auch a thing. Had the fire gained a little greater start It would probab ly have terminated In thei most de structive fire that baa visited this city in yeas. It waa believed that another at tempt would be made to burn the buildfig Saturday night and the po lice kept close watch over the, prem ises, but nothing occurred to excite alarm.

Walter L. Tooze Engages Business at 8alem. In New Hon. Walter L. Tooze, who moved from Falls CI y to Salem recently, hi t iken charge of the Thermodyne 'Company of that city. ! The Thermodyne Company is a Sa j lem organlza Ion and Thermodyne 1 self is similar to Antiphlogistic but far its superior In the results which have been achieved. The land deposit from which It Is made is in Lane County a out ten miles from Eugjne, there being fifty acres In the tract, to which tbe Company holds title. The Company- Is capitalized at 50,900.00 and is composed of men who are well known In M1on and Polk Counties and throughout the state as men of unquestioned lnteg ri y. Antlphloglstlne stock is selling at $2,000.00 per share and none can be bought at day price. Thermodyne stock is selling at $100 per share, at which price Antlphloglstlne started twenty years ago. In my .Judgment, says Mr. Tooze, no better investment is being offered in the state. Ther modyne is no longer an experiment re it is now benlg sold in drugstores in Salem and Falls City. The Ther modyne Cbmpany also manufacture from other strata from this tract of lend "Boss Hoss Hoof Packing," Pipe Cement and Water Proof cloth, which constitute an additional asset to the Company of Btupenduous value, - Boss Hoss Hoof Packing is the most wonderful remedy for the dis-' eased hoofs - horses that. hftBever ! been discovered, being far superior j to "White Rock" which is used by liverr stailes and vetrlnary surgeons. No pipe cement on the market today can excel that manufactured by The Thermodyne Company. One import ant fact la connection with this corn- pany is that it Is an Oregon iistltu- tion and that Its development means much to the State regardless of where It Is located and the fur ther fa?t that all of Its promoters are well known citizens of this state L.
