ENLARGING DEPOT YARDS Southern Pacilic Co. Purchased Lots from F. L. Chambers .-Option on Others. A deed conveying about two lots at West Third and Linco'n streets. north of the railroad anil immediately east of tho Eugene Planing Mill Com pany's plant, from F. L. Chambers to tho Oregon .v California Raili-uud Company, Southern Pacilic Com pany lessee, was recorded iu the county clerk's otltco today. This moans the extension of the railroad company's depot yards iu this city to the west for a distanco of nearly a block and is in Hue with the extensive improvements to be made in tho yards, as heretofore announced by the liuard. Uetween these lots just acquired by tho company and tho western lino of tho depot yard is another lot owned by R. MeMurphey, but the company has an option on it, tho tittard is informed, and tho transfer will prub- ibly be made in a short timo. THE Y A 1! D IMPROVEMENTS. Tho Cunt'd has known for a cer- taiuty that extensive improvements were to bo made iu tho yards, and prominent olllcials have given out information to that etrect, but they have been very retieont iu stating when this work will be done. Some time ago it was announced that tho warehouses on ttiis side of the tracks wore to have been moved to tho other side right away and contracts wero let for moving them, but for some rea son tho work has not been done, and it was supposed by many that tho im provements were postponed, but the purchase of these additional lots, by the company, gives riso to the belief that the work on tho yards will bo ommenced this fall. When tho big bridgo across the Willametto at Springlleld is built and the connecting link between tho main lino and the Woudling blanch ia fin ished, considerable moro yard room will bo necessary to ptovido terminal facilities hero, hence tho urchaso of this additional strip of land.

At .'! o'clock yesterday morning lire was discovered lit the Albany Planing Company's mill and as soon as this was extinguished tho shop of Rueliiior 1'iothcrs, cabinet-makers, was dis covered on lire.

Shavings aud other oomlmstiblo ma terials wero fouud arranged ready to lie set uu lire in tho storehouse of tho Albany Iron Works, but had not been ignited. Tho buildings are in the central part of the city, tho manufacturing establishments being along the water front.
