The Oldest lnhabitant Never Saw Such
a Scene

a Scene
SAUSALITO, March 21.-Shortly af-
ter o'clock this morning the largest fire
in the memory of the oldest inhabitant
was discovered on the water front. The
fire started in the cupola of the Sam
Francisco Yacht club house and spread
with great rapidity to the Oriel hotel
and five adjoining cottages. Several
British ships anchored off shore sent
their men to the scene in the ships boats
and launches. armed with buckets, axes
and ropes, to aid in subduing the fire.
The men and officers of the United States
survey boats Macarthur and Gedney also
assisted. 1t was three hours from the
time the alarm was turned in until the
fire was so under control that the ma
jority of the fighters felt safe in leav-
ing the place to the care of those most
nearly concerned.
The San Francisco Yacht club heads
the list of losses with $4,000, while sew
eral of its members sustained losses
varying from 800 to $500 on personal be-
longings in the building.
The other losses are estimated as fol-
lows: John Ferguson, $4,000, insurance,
$4,000; Mrs. Mills. $4,000, Insurance. $4,000;
w. B. Vogel. $1,000, insurance, $500; Com

DINGLEY TARIFF

Rouses Spirit of Retaliation Among the
Canadians
MONTREAL, Que, March 21.-Since
the provisions of the Dingley tariff were
announced, it has been considerably
canvassed here and the consensus Of
opinion seems to be that it is hostile TO
the interests of Canada. The lumber
trade has been mostly to the front and
there has been a general demand for
export duties on saw logs and all kinds
Of pulp wood. The indications are that
the government will accede to this de-
mand and the forthcoming revision of
the tariff will not be much in the line
of lower duties Alderman Prefontane,

Il has often been observed in Siberia

the cold is greater in the plains and
the valleys, and that the highlands
have sensibly milder temperature.
II is as IL the denser cold air accumu-
lated in the lowlands. This fact Is very

at all. The cold air often flows from
the submits toward their bases. This
is what takes place at Saghalien. The
cold air accumulates in the low regions
Of the island and on the coast. The
higher regions have a more elevated
temperature. So 1t happens that the
lower parts have an arctic vegetation,
while the intermediate attitudes have
the vegetation of temperate zone,
sometimes subtropical. The birch, the
ash, the pine and the fir abound in the
low regions and form often impene-
trable forests, but toward the center of
the island appear bamboos, hy-
drangeas, azalias and other plants that
one is greatly surprised to meet and
whose presence can be explained only
by the altogether abnormal climatic
conditions of the island.
