Fire broke out shortly after o'clock
in the lumber yard of W. b. Fonda and
in a short time several large piles of
lumber and business Offices had been
ignited. There was a heavy wind blow
ing at the time and the fire spread rap

owned and occupied by the Crown Fur
niture Company and Collins meat mar
ket. The blocks of Wood & Favro, j.

ing embers were carried in every di-
rection. Swinton and Burlington were
called on for help and soon responded.

Main street blocks from burning and
a dozen buildings were soon on fire.

! ignited were the stores of w. S. Bailey
and f. B. Morton, the Wallace Printing
Company, buildings and stores of Lom-

soon in ashes.
A government building on Kingman

ing time to rescue their effects. Moore s
marble works on Foundry street, Ryan s
grocery store and 10 tenement houses in
the vicinity of the same street were
destroyed.
Shortly before o'clock the entire Bur-
lington fire department arrived and al

Jim Hill Expects an lncrea3 c of
Business.
GREAT FALLS is HIS PET
That and Other Northwest Points TO
BE Made Cities of Wealth
and Importance.

New York, May 19.-President James
who arrived from Europe yesterday,
conferred with the Northern Pacific re-
organization committee and then start
ed for Chicago. Previous to his de-
parture Mr.. Hill said in an interview
that c. p. Huntington did not put the
10 per cent. estimate on the increase in
business a bit too high as a result of
the deal between these two companies.
Rates will be put up slightly all along
the line and many expenses will be cut
off. Moreover, it seems that the Cana
dian Pacific will be given a lively race
in the building up and development Of
the northwest. President Hill expects
much from the town of Great Falls,
Mont, as the Pittsburg of the west, and
should Tesla succeed at Niagara Falls
in making steel from iron ore by cleo
tricity, as he says he will soon, the Mon
tana metropolis will become one of the
great industrial cities of the northwest,
with its contiguous coal, iron and silver
mines.
will not the Canadian Pacific be a
| dangerous competitor. ne was aSkeu
mot in the least" answered Mr.. Hill
I'VE can compete with any continenta
line in the matter Of fast time. We
have nothing to fear from Canada"
Speaking of the proposed new line OF
steamships between Japan and the Pa
cific coast, Mr.. Hill said: "Now that the
war between China and Japan is vir
tually over, expect there will be a biz
industrial development in those two ma
tons, and the United States will have a.
a consequence a good deal of bushes
with them. If such a line of steamship
is established it will have to have ney
ships for fast service, like the Atlanti
liners, and Of course that would TAX
some time, but it will come"

Oklahoma, o. T., May 20.-Hundreds
of people arrive hourly to help swell
the already well-flled lines now camped
along the borders Of the Kickapoo res
Grafton, awaiting its being thrown
open to settlement on Thursday.
A new scheme has been invented to
deceive settlers. "SOOners" have gone
on the land and planted fraudulent
stakes purporting to tell that a particu-
lar section is an allotment or school
section, to cause honest homeseekers
to go past for open land further on.
Then the planter of the stakes will fol-
low leisurely, pull them up and use
them to cook coffee with Thursday
night on the site of a carefully chosen
and unlawfully gotten claim.

Catholics Of 81 Louis Require More Care
full Guardianship of Property.
st. Louis, Mo-, May 19.-Prominent
Catholic clergy and laymen figure in a
suit filed Saturday in the district court
against the venerable Archbishop Peter
Richard Kenricks by the priests of his
diocese and laymen to divest him of all
title and control in the valuable church
property of the archdiocese of st. Louis
held by him in fee. The petition AYERS
that the defendant is SO years of age
and so weak in mind as to be unable to
perform the duties of his office. On this
account the property held by him, con-
sisting Of lands, churches, converts,
cemeteries and asylums, is liable to be
lost or impaired. The prayer for the ap-
pointment of another trustee is only a
request that the law transfer the di-
ocesan property to his coadjutor, Arch
bishop Kahn.

While Edison, then boy, was living
in Port Huron, he found one of those
opportunities to distinguish himself
that seem TO be always falling in the
way of some men. The anecdote is re-

near the end of an exceptionally severe
winter, and the ice had formed in such
masses as to sever the cable between
Port Huron and the Canadian city of
Sarnia. The river. mile and half

of people were greatly inconveEieuced.

The effect of advancing culture on
the dog, however. has been gradually
to decrease this ancient undifferenti-
ated mode of expression by bowling
and yelping, and to replace 1T by the
much more speech-like bark. There Is
some doubt whether dogs possessed by
savages have the power of uttering the
the sharp, specialized note which is so
chara cteristic of the civilized form o.
their species.
1t is clear, however, that if they have
the power of thus expressing them
selves, they used it but rarely. On TIM
