In recent Western fire twas again
demonstrated in the clearest manner
possible that California redwood. as a
building material, comes nearerer being
fireproof than almost any other ma
terlal of which buildings are con-
structed. In this instance q fire broke
out in the upper part of one-story
building while the wind was blowing a
gale that WAS recorded al the United
States signal station as moving al the
average rate OF thirty miles an hour.
But Notwithstanding this. and the fact
that it was several minutes before
water got to the building, the fir laths
under the plaster were burned down
ward nearly to the floor, and whole
squares of the SIDE plssterlng were thus
loosened and fell in before the fire had
burned through TINS redwood shingle
roof.
1t was a most wonderful illustration
of the fire-resistlng qualities of red
wood. Had the whole building been as
combustible as the laths. nothing could
have saved the city. The roof was Old
and as thoroughly ready for the flames
as redwood ever becomes, yet the fact
remains that il resisted the ignition,
and bystanders could see seeihng
furnace of flames through tie sper-
lures under the caves, while nothing
but smoke issues through the roof.
The peculiar manner in which redwood
smothers flame, and prevents its tiash-
ing forth, - an important fact in sup
pressing coniiagratons, as fires are
communicated to neighboring build
ings by means of the external flames
and spark. which they send up.-Chi-

Hon. Frederick Dunn, OF Lansing,

only one disagreeable feature about

manner in which Geo. III. House, oil

fool of himself. He thought that
House was either drunk or crazy. The
Inter void probably be applicable 10
him the first day he was here and the
former the last two. ''rhcre was no
earthly sense in his coming here at
all, said Mr. Dunn, las he could ae-
compiish nothing. He WAS bereft of
oil decency, for II he was not. he or
any other sane man would never lose
his common sense TO such an extent

this he was handsomely slipped up as
there was not n Forester present who
was ignorant OF the depth of the man
and his indicative desire TO do some
thing 10 satisfy "a cowardly revenge
which he has cherished for some time.
The Foresters were never In better

gard to voting for separate iuris-

the resolution to do so was tabled by

with the matter and did not want to
hear anything more about it. 1t has
