A Few Details Of the Big Blaze and
Its Results


on account Of the hour and the late.
ness and hustle at the fire yesterday
morning, 1t was impossible for the AS
toiian to give full account Of the dis
aster in its last issue, and but the
barest details were obtainable- The
blaze, as nearly as can be ascertained,
originated alongside the band saw in
The box factory, and everything points
to the conclusion tthr the whole con-
flagration was the work of an incen-
diary. Vigorous efforts are being made
l.y the directorate Of the Clatsop Mn
10 ascertain everything possible In this
direction The fire, which by a pccu-
liar coincidence, Is the first one Of any
dimensions since the burning I the
opera house exactly year ago c lay,
completely destroyed the box factory
and the dry house connected w II the
mill. The mill building itself, thanks
to the splendid efforts Of the fireilen,
was only badly scorched, and nothing
of any consequence inside the place was
damaged. One hundred thousand feet
of fine spruce lumber, the dry house,
one OF the finest on the coast, the box
factory, with its new machinery, and
a. large number Of boxes ready for ship
ment, are completely wiped out, and
only a few charred cinders remain OF
wnat about "A hours ago represented
value of $S1 ,OOO Eighty-four men are
thrown out Of employment, and pay
roll Of $3.50 week is lost to the city.
Dozens of large orders from growers OF
California fruits for boxes remain un-
filed.
The loss Is only covered in very
amall proportion by the insurance,
amounting in all to $4,000, and this is
distributed as follows:

1t is stated that the dry house alone
cost $4,000 to erect In addition to the
other losses, nearly all the Gamers on
the lower river and a good many Cal
ifornia fruit men are cleaned out Of
box brands and brass stencils, all of
which were in the box factory. These
were worth, at low valuation. $4,000,
and 1t will cost even more than this
amount to replace them.
1t is due to the members Of the fire
brigade to make more than passing
mention Of their conduct. They showed
yesterday morning that they knew how
to handle a big blaze, and that they
could exert as much pluck and use as
much discretion as any body Of firenlen
ON this coast. They worked hard and
conscientiously from the very begin
ming of the fight with the flames, and
had the satisfaction of seeing their
efforts successful. They saved the old
X l. cannery and the Clatsop Mill
from what looked like almost certain
destruction. And all day yesterday
they tramped in the mud and rain
among the smoking ruins watching for
a further possible outbreak. The de-
partment is to be heartily congratu-
lated

A Most Profitable Branch Of
Agriculture.
GIVES EMPLOYMENT TO THOUSANDS.
4 Grand Opportunity Ior Men OF Intelli.
gence and Energy.

Written for the Evening News
Truck farming IL one Of TIE most
profitable branches of agriculture in
Texas. Along the gulf coast from
Corpus Christi to Sabine Pass, it
has developed into an industry of
vast extent and importance, and
furnishes profitable employ ment to
thousands of people.
The development of facilities for
the rapid transportation to western
and northern markets has brought
the truck farmer of Texas very near
to such populous cities as 81. Louis.
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago
In most sections of our state adapt
ed to the business of raising vegs-
tables for shipment, it is in it's IN
fancy. Growers in the eastern part
Of the state produce a large sur
plus, which goes everywhere, but
in the central section very little is
shipped away, as there are not
enough extensive growers who pro-
duce quantity over and above To-
cal dem ,nds.
The sandy and fertile bottoms of
the Brazos are without doubt the
finest truck lands in Texas. Dur
ing the past summer, and it has
been an unusually dry and hct one,
have seen melons as fine as ever
grew in the famous melon country
in Georgia, raised on the river near
the city Of Waco. Onions grown
from the seed planted last October
have been sold on the streets this
spring that would weigh from two
to two and a-half pounds each, with
out special work or fertiliz atom.
This only shows what can be
done. There is need of more ex-
tensive operations in this branch of
agriculture around Waco in order
to make freight shipments in re.
frigerating cars to distant cities.
Truck farming offers one of the
best opportunities to be found in
Texas for the Investment of capital
in moderate amounts. 1t is bust.
ness that can be started upon a
small scale and developed as condi.
tions admit. Here is grand open.
ing for men of intelligence and
energy to make money.

How Silver Value has Changed

Silver, in its relative commercial
value to gold, has varied greatly at
different times since the two metals
were frs. used for coins. In the
days of Abraham the Patriarch it
was S to /; B. G. 1000 it was IL to
/; B. c. 500, 13 to /, and at the
beginning of the Christian Era,
about 8 to /. In the year 500 A.
d. it was le to |; in 100 it was
s to |, and at the time of the dis.
covery of America only to l.
In the year 1900 gold was only
six times more valuable than the
precious white, and within the next
100 years two pounds of silver could
be exchanged evenly for one of
gold. In 1916 gold was again on
the boom, being ten times more
valusble than its paler brother; and
in 1925 it was IL times more valu-
able than silver, just as it was
five hundred years B. G. At
the beginning of the present
century silver as at a lower figure
than it had been at any time since
the year 800 A. D., viz: 1898 to |.
In 1876 the ratio commercially of
silver to gold was 20 to l and in
1892 it was at the lowest point il
has ever reached since the discovery
of America-o4 "a to !. The
figures for the present year are
wanting.

Sheli.

The Latest Election Nows IN a Nut
ShelI.
Diligent inquiry made late this afternoon
by HERALD representatives at the various
headquarters shows that the Judgeship, Re
cordership and Clerk of the Courts are now
the only offices in dispute.
The Democrats claim Weidman's election
by from 500 to l 900 majority and scheurman' S
by between 200 and 300. These claims are
made at the Democratic headquarters.
Among some of Toole's friends the claim is
made that he is elected by 62 majority. On
the other hand shortaps friends claim 63
majority.
Il was learned from reliable source this
afternoon that the Democrats who claim
Toole's election have not figured on all the
returns. In the rush this morning some of
the returns got mislaid and when these are
recorded the Democratic estimates may be
squelched
