IAe German Emperor Takes Il Hand III
Fighting Flames.
PoTsDAM, May 7.-Gatow, village
near this city, suffered severely by fire
to-day, and for time it was threatened
with complete destruction. Emperor
William, who was at the new palace,
was notified and promptly rode to the
burning village, after having alarmed
the Spandau garrison and summoning
the Berlin fire department to
send engines to GatoW. BY the
time he reached the village many
houses were already consumed and the
flames were spreading rapidly. Before
the arrival of the firelnen Emperor
William actively assisted the villagers
in fighting the flames. The Emperor
busted himself in carrying buckets Of
water, welded an axe in cutting down
dangerous beams, and was the foremost
in organizing succor for the people
rendered homeless by the confagra-
ton. In spite of the efforts of the fire
men and troops six large farmhouses
were destroyed.

As the people employed in this coun-
try at the various branches Of the build
ing trade are assured that, as there is no
duty on finished houses any more than
there is a duty on paved streets, their in
dUstry is one that the free traders claim
to be unprotected" and neither their
wages nor employment are influenced
by or protective tariffs. it may be Of
interest TO them, now that their employ
ment II building new factories has
ceased under the threat of free trade, to
quote from summary of the general re-
port on the census Of England and
Wales made by The Engineer of Lon
don. This paper says of the building
trades:
1.-The number of persons thus employ
ed shows an increase for the 10 years Of
only FL per cent, whereas in the pre-
vious decade the rise was q per cent.
The absolute number in 1891 was $780,
$50. The extremely small increase Of a
little over $4,000 in the building trades
was accompanied b. an actual decline il
respect to the industries which supply
the building materials. The falling off
was only ID per cent, out that there
should be any decrease ut al is a matter
to be regretted, an increase being the
proper result"
There is probably no trade in this
country, unless we call farming trade,
that receives greater benefits from the
building of new factories. factory towns

New York, May 1.-THE old story of
low records in wheat received another
addition to-day when July sold off to

but so bearish was the feeling owing to
phenomenal crop weather condi-
tions and other less important fac
tors that it was easy for the
bears to hammer the market down
to a still lower level. There was no
outside interest in the market and the
sharp decline was unaccompanied by
any exciting trading. July wheat later
declined to 618c, the lowest point on
record, and May wheat went down to

OUT FOR THE n Err.

From Alexander City to lum Fails
the Longest Way Around.
1t was about the first Of May, as the
newspaper scribe remembers it, and just
about the time that fabulous stories
were going to and fro regarding the gold
bonanzas of Alexander City, that a party
consisting Of James Gordon, J. L. Adams
and j. M. Kyle started from Great Falls
for the hidden fortunes yet undiscovered
in that UNEMPLOYED region.
Yesterday Mr.. Gordon was seen upon
the street and asked where he had been
all summer. He smiled that smile with
which all his Neihart and Great Falls
friends are we'll acquainted and went on
to relate as follows: I'VE fellows hadn't
been in Alexander City more than six.
teen minutes when we were pretty sure
there wasn't any gold either on top or al
bedrock. However, we were out fol-
prospecting. The next move was to the
north side OF the Missouri and then uI
the Teton to it's headwaters, but we
didn't find any of the precious in that
section. Then We pushed along the
north fork of the Sun river and finally
dropped over onto the Flathead river
going down the Big Foot canyon forty
miles. In this canyon things came our
way pretty tough, for the grub ran very
low and at times it didn't seem as II
Gabriel couldn't play his tune any toe
We got out of that canyon with
assets as follows: Cash, 81 IS; salt, val
ued at 5 cents, and me pug dog. Colum,
bia Falls was reached September l, ant
there a market was found for the pug
dog, an exchange being made for pota'
toes. Here | am, in Great Falls and ex
pect to stay all winter" Mr.. Gordon
says that this account Of his wandering
is true, salt, pug dog" and all, and thai
large bodies Of copper were found il
a certBin locality where there isn't much
danger Of a claim being jumped.

Temperature Getting Low but Not Yet mt

'The temperature has been consider
ably below the normal and from the 10Th
to the l4th, inclusive, it was dangerous
ly near the freezing point in many sec
tions of the state. Light frosts occurred
during the early part of the week
though no serious damage resulted from
them. Heavy SHOWS fell in the mount
aims and foothills during the period Of
lowest temperature, the heaviest fall
being in the northern section and along
the eastern side of the main range. 1t
also fell in considerable quantities in all
the higher portions Of the state and
some grain fields which were uncut
were covered. One field in the Gallatin
valley containing s~eventy-tive acres Of
barley was covered with a fall of four
inches. On the morning of the 10th a
light skim of ice formed at some places
in the northeast section.
"Where rain or snow did not fall the
weather was unusually cloudy and damp
and these conditions have been very IA
vorable for harvesting. the harvest,
however, is about completed and thrash
ing is already under good Roadway. In
some sections nearly half the grain Is in
