article that the Chinese, who use the
drug, would purchase in large quan-

Almost Total Loss of the City in Clin-

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Aug. THE
city Of COmanche, Clinton county. Is
burning up. Grist and sawmills, dry
goods and business houses are all
swept out by fire. 1t is not known
how the fire started. Help was sent
for to Lynn and Clinton and two en-
gines and two hook and ladder trucks
were forwarded on special train, but
as the town has no water works they
could do but little to check the flames.
No figures on the loss or insurance are

SWIMMING BATHS.
Sacramentans Will Enjoy the Lux.
ury This Year.
Description of the Elegant Bathing
Palace Now Being Erected in Oak
land-Fun Ahead for the People of
Sacramento.

Oakland is now building a swimming
bath that will be OF infinite credit to her
people. We present herewith a pict-
for which we are indebted to the San
francisco Journal Of Commerce. The
purpose of the RECoRD-UNIoN is to
quicken interest in the proposed swim
ming bath for this city, and to give our
readers some idea of what the bath is
to be.
The Sacramento establishment will not
be such an elaborate affair as is now in
process of erection in Oakland, which has
many attachments and features not con-
templated here in the outset, nor neces-
sary in this climate, perhaps. But the
plunge bath here will be, we learn, OF
nearly as great area as that in Oakland,
which is 120 feet in length by 20 in width,
and marks the division of the mile into
forty-four parts for swimming matches
The Sacramento baths, however, if all
goes well, as is now the promise, viii be
neat in exterior, commodious and well
fitted with dressing rooms, assembly
chamber, parlors and tub baths, cafe
laundry, barber. shop, ETC., and its tanl;
bath will be as deep and well provided as
that at Oakland.
The Sacramento Swimming Bath Asso-
.iation is now an incorporated body. II
has an energetic, determined Board o.
Directors, and it proposes to achieve sue
cess. Where there is such determination
there is always means provided for the
ends desired. What is needed is lively
interest on the,part ofall the P-sopl {, and W.

and present handsome appearance and

the eye. The ground floor viii cover
81, 500 square feet, or about three-fourths
of an acre. Glass will be largely used in
the construction. There is large en-

tepidarium, and the great tank with the
twenty-foot wide waterfall an inch thick,
located at one end beneath the main plat
form and first gallery, as shown in the
engraving. Around the tank is a first
gallery and platform; above, a second
gallery rallied in. The swimmers only
are permitted in the lower or first gallery.
The swimming tank is 120x70 feet, or
S,400 square feet, being double the area of
the Crystal Baths, San Francisco, and the
/. three tanks at Del Monte combined. Its
greatest depth is II feet, and its shallow
est feet, the floor slope being gradual
from one to the other. The tank floor
is of concrete. Around the edge of the
plunge" is q hand-rail at the water level
for the inexperienced, and below it is I;

end, insure freshness of the water so that

tide fills the tank, and the outgo from
high tide in the lake keeps up the supply.
on the lower floor is a barber shop and
the cafe, steam baths and general lava
tory. On the floor above, the ladies'
Hammam baths and ladies' parlor Above
all is the laundry in the two towers
united by gallery. On the first floor
are 80 dressing rooms for men, and 20 for
Hammam baths, and on the second floor
like provision for women. There are
II tubs for men and s for women, and TO
each set are distinct Railways with no
communication between. On both floors
smoking-rooIn are provided, and on
each waiting room, one for men and
one for women.
At Oakland it is proposed TO have two
afternoons a week when women may ex-
clusively use the swimming tank, but
ladies can at any time, if they choose, en-
ter the tank, as is done in San Francisco
and at Del Monte and in Fresno.
The Sacramento baths will have the adj
vantage of the water Of the tank being
warmed to pleasant but not enervating
degree, and cold shower baths for swim
mers will be provided as foil to the
| tepid warmth of the tank. In Oakland
the advantage will be the use of salt
water.

There seems to be an irrepressible con-
flict going on between the organized de-
stroyers OF the fish and game of the State
and few champions of the interests of
the people, men who realize the impor-
tance of preserving for future generations
some portion of the blessing that is en-
joyed by those now living. One OF the
glories of California is the wealth of fish
and game that abounds in her streams
and forests. Yet this wealth has been,
and still is being, despoiled by band OF
mercenary creatures who have no other
thought or motive than that of enriching
themselves at the expense of the people.
The men who operate the fish can
neries. and their co-workers who traffic
in the hides Of the deer of the mountains,
are always found arrayed in opposition to
the Interests of the public, and too often
their nefarious schemes to rob the latter
have been permitted to succeed.
