Fire NJ CoInr.

CoLFAx. w. T., July 22.-At go
o'clocksthis morning FIRE was discover
ed in an empty building on Main street
in the northern end Of town. formerly
used 80 an agricultural implement
warehouse and owned by C and NJ G
Moore Of Almota. When first seen it
had gained such Roadway that it could
not be checked, and soon communi.
Gated with tie adjoining blacksmith
shop and livery stable, thence spread
ing until the whole block was envelcp
ed 10 one solid mass of fire. ] Mowers
brick bank, just completed. constituted
q barrier on the northeast corner of
Main and Wall streets. aud stopped its
further progress up the street. being
the only house now standing on
that block About an hour from the
time the first alarm was sounded, fire
was discovered on the roof of the
Ewart House. directly across the street
from the originating point. Strenuous
efforts were made to extinguish it. but
the intense heat rendered all efforts
useless. and those engaged in the at
tempt were compelled to desist, and
the pride of Colfax was abandoned to
its fate. From this point the fire spread
rapidly in either direction, flying sparks
ignited on the roofs of the dry wooden
buildings. until two blocks on that side
of the street were ablaze. sending their
lurid tongues heavenward, and not q
vestige of house now remains to tell
the tale. Twenty six buildings in all
were destroyed. involving an estimated
loss over insurance of SIS. 900. The
fire burned so rapidly that but few
effects could be saved. The heaviest
loss is the Ewart House, the original
cost of which was $4,000; $4,000 of
this is covered by insurance. For the
first hour the wind came from the
north, jeopardizing the whole town.
when it suddenly veered and brisk
breeze sprang up from the south, which
is clsimed to be the only thing that
saved the town from utter humiliation.
Had the wind continued from the north
the adjacent blocks. composed of wood
en- structures as dry as finder, would
have iginted and made q clean sweep
up the narrow canyon. Our much
commented upon fire engine was out of
repair and could not be used. where
upon bucket brigsdes were formed and
did efficient service in staying the de-
vouring element, Had the hand en-.
CINE been in working order the two
blocks on the west side of the street
could have been saved. The contents
of ell the safes opened thus far are in
tact. No lives Lost. The fire is sup
posed to be the work of an incendiary.
One report says it was discovered sim
ultaneously in two different places, one
either side Of the blacksmith shop.

The attempt of certain Republican

Strong passions have been reused

There are many who. like Guiteau, have

With the partial clearing out OF the
timber along these railroads and water
courses must come another change in
our system Of logging. Railroads in
ten led for log ksuling will be built
into the timber, and cars and locono-
tives be put upon them. This will re-
quire large capital, and 1t can only be
done with profit by those ming or
controlling large bodies ef land. There
are many such. There are many indi-
vidusl owners Of tracts of q Thousand
or two acres. while two or three large
concerns own tens Of not hundreds) Of
thousands Of acres. These have never
been spoiled of their timber. bat have
been religiously saved with . view to
their future worth. The logging to be
done by these men. or by their sue
cessors. from FIVE to twenty years
hence, will be on q scale such as our
people have not yet seen. and 60 as to
excel, maybe. anything in that line yet
seen in any other part Of the globe.
The value of good logs is constantly
increasing. In 1867 $3.50 - thousand
was the prevailing price. and besides
the logger was expected to buy his
supplies Of the mill 10 which he sold,
and also 10 submit % 9 thieving meas
urement now no longer known. Ten
years later "a WAS the price; last year
it was "a so and now IS.
For good men there is an active de-
mand. and wages range from $40 to
$50 month. and board.
1t will be . century. perhaps. before
the timber here 10 exhausted. In the
wholeTerritory there must be ten million
acres Of timber land. one half Of which,
ct low estimate, will average 10000
feet TO the acre. or in the aggregate q
yield Of 200. OOO, OO0. 900 feet OF market
able lumber.
