 The fire started at a. m. from a defee- tive flue in the reir of the Branniek hotel, and within five minutes after it was first noticed the whole BranniIk hotel seemed ablaze. and the heavens were aglOw for blocks around.
 A northerly gale was blowing all the tune, and its cold and unmerelful breath famed the greedy flames to greater and greater fury. until only a few minute: after they burst from the inside of the building the whole structure was envel- oped in the blaze and was burning fur- ouSlv.

through the snow with buckets of water, scrambllng over the slippery housetops. handling streams with small hoses.
 Even in the rear of the burning Brannlek hotel the property owners or occupants were plying small streams of water on the fences and outhouses, but the most heroic work was on the buildings on the south side of Fourth street. The smoke and elnders were driven straight in that quar- ter, and enveloped the whole front of the buildings facing the Brannck, vet men scaled ladders and roofs, and fought with out great regard to the benumbing cold and the occasional splashes from the water. One here in particular was the man on the front ani very top Jf Everest's building. There, in the teeth of the gale and the very hail of sparks, and almost within reach of the tongues of flame, he played small stream of water down the store front, and his efforts were not in vain.
 The Brannlek hotel was built and fur nished at a cost of sIo, 900, and was owned by E. ]. Branniek, formerly of Portland. MT. Branniek was h the house when the fire started and worked with all his strength to save what he could. He finally gave up, and walked the street viewing the flames and watching the crowds. While on the street he said, "When was with my mother in Los Angeles a few weeks ago she did not want me to come back 10 this country. and said as left, I wish your old hotel would bum.' Her wish Is fulfilled"
 There were three stories in the BrInniek,
 and the flames started from a detective
 flue in the rear of the building The house
 extended all the way from the sidewalk to
 the alley. only the second floor was fur
 nished for lodgerS. There was no reStaur- ant in connection. A bar was once oper-
 ated in the house but 1t had been elUSed
 and the fixtures were Jeff in the house.
 Much sympathy was felt for Mrs. Clay
 son and her daughters when the CIavson
 store was threatened. The Rev. Sinclair,
 of Bennett, approached Mrs. Clayson to
 ask her fl he could do anything, and the
 woman who has been almost proStrated
 with giiet for a week by the missing of a
 much loved son, in quest of whom anotfer
 son is absent, told her despair and grief in
 more than volumes of words would ex-
 press bv simply dropping her head with a slight shake and signing, "Oh."
 There were no casualties and no one was seriously injured, though Mrs. Butler, the housekeep at the Brannick, narrowly es- caped losing her life. She was sountly asleep in the adjoining room from the one in which the fire started and was awaken , ed just in time 10 escape the flames. Chief Fleming who was everywhere present was frozen but not seriously. Hc ] was wet from head to foot and the zerC 2 temperature did the rest. C. E. Cole, who { did heroic work with Hose Co.

SCIENTIFIC FORESTRY.
sanderbilt's Noteworthy Object Les
son at Baltimore

In an article on the Baltimore Es
tate in Ainslee's Magazine, Phillir
Polndexter describes Interestingly Mr.
$anderbilt's lesson in scientific fores
culture.
We have been criminaIly wastefu
IN our treatment of the forests in
america. Our great-grandfathers look
cd upon the forest as the grea
enemy OF man, and so vast areas were
destroyed to get arabic land, and the
wood wantonly burned to get it out
OF the way. Later, the lumber and the
tanning interests have been just as
wanton in thir destruction, and now
the paper makers are destroying in
most wholesale fashion As a matter
OF fact, all the good that has come
from this forest destruction might
have been achieved, and very much
larger area of woodland, preserved
But we have been 'slap-dash' people,
with a disposition to hustle rapidly to
whatever end in view. We are suf-
fering now by reason of previous i'm
providence, and posterity will not
bless US for our present recklessness.
1t is true the government has taken
up the subject, through the depart
ment of agriculture, and several of the
states taken action to preserve some
public forests Mr.. Vanderbilt is the
first private owner to take up this
matter of scientific. forest administra-
ton on large scale. Scientific ad-
ministration does not, it must be
borne in mind, contemplate the non
use of the trees, but the rational use
so that the forests will not go out of
existence, but, on the contrary, so
that new growths will always be ma
turing to take the place of the old.
Such administration also contemplates
that the forests should always be a
source of income, and not one of out
lay, more income, indeed, in even so
short a time as a generation, than
would be obtained by cutting down all
the trees and marketing the various
kinds of wood. 1t was such admin
istration that Mr.. Vanderbilt wished
to inaugurate when he asked Mr..
Clifford Pinchot to make a survey of
the Baltimore forests and develop a
plan of management.
Lying near the center of the distri-
button of the fora of Eastern North
America, the supply of native trees
at Baltimore is naturally large and
varied. Deciduous trees are in the
majority, and the white oak is the
most common. Then follow in the
order of frequency in the forest the
black oak, scarlet oak, and Spanish
oak. There are also few specimens
of other members of the family, like
the chestnut of the red, water and

WHERE THE MINISTER LIVED.
Barrie's Home is Really in Thrums,
the Scene of Several of His Stories.

Mary b. Mullett. writing of The
Real Thrums of Barrie in the Ladies'
Home Journal, tells of seeing the
famous novelist at the railway station
in Kirriemuir (Thrums) ITO which the
family party walked together. Mrs.
Barrie first, slight figure in brown
and scarlet. more English in dress
than in face, holding her head rather
proudly and walking confidently-she
was on the stage before her marriage.
With her was Miss Barrie, a quietly
dressed, rather colorless woman, not
one to draw attention from the three
men who followed her. The tallest
of these three, the one in ministerial
black, high hat on his snowy y cad,
was Doctor Ogilvy, brother to BAR
rie's mother The other white-haired
man-doubled over. as are so many in
this land of looms, and wearing great
hobnailed shoes, for he likes to take
care of the pretty garden at the top
of the brae-was Barrie's father. Be-
tween them was a slight figure Of boy
ish slenderness. Though small, he
was not dapper. and we breathed a
sigh of relief. AS he turned we looked
at his face with eagerness.
1T is thin, dark face, almost bag
gard; delicate, sensitive, wistful some
how, but stronger than we had ex-
pected it to be. The dominating sad
ness of his face makes almost a real
shadow over it. He smiled once or
twice, but his face did not once really
light up. But sad and thin as it was,
it is face that one would not soon
forget-yes, and that one would be
glad TO remember"

4, ing, they are clean and shiny; but the
grooves of the wheat sometimes retain
little dust. This is completely elm
mated by an appliance, which seizing
each grain lengthwise, splits it exactly
in the groove. The wheat then passes
into the mill. composed of fat, circu-
lar steel grinders, grooved in such a
manner that they accomplish the de-
cortication of the kernel and its gran
ulation into meal at the same time.
not touch, so that instead of crushing
the wheat and producing a -four in
which the starch only is retained. the
outer and harder portion of the wheat,
containing gluten and other nutritive
properties, is retained in the flour. The
bran alone is expelled.
Attached to the mill are the works
for kneading ,le meal. water, and
yeast into bread All of this is done
mechanically, the works being sep
arted into three stories. Special yeast
is prepared in the upper story in rooms
heated in winter and cooled in sum-
mer. The yeast, -four and the sailed
and filtered water are carried down by
machinery into the kneaders in the
form of half cylindrical tubs, rotating
on two pivots placed in the axles of
the kneading troughs, so that the tubs
may be placed at a lower or higher
angle in order to accelerate or. retard
the kneading. One person can attend
to two Schweitzer kueaders, regulat-
ing the distribution of the dough, and
thus the kneading of 1000 kilo-
grammes (4,409 pounds) of dough per
hour is accomplished. rhe steel arms
of the mixing and kneading machin-
cry, some of which are stationary and
others mobile, stretch and work the
dough much better than hand power.
The wheat, sailed water and yeast
automatically enter one end of the tub
and dough in an endless skeiu of pale
yellow issues from the opposite end.
This dough finally falls on tables on
the ground floor where it is weighed
and made into bread of every shape
and dimension. Small wagons are
charged with the shapes, which then
go to the raising room. Each room
has fermenting room kept at an even
temperature. The dough, after rails
ing, is carried by wagons into the bak-
ing room, where it is placed in
SchweitZer ovens heated by gas from
retorts arranged in such a manner
that the gas does not enter the oven,
and the heat is SO regulated that the
baking operation goes onautomatical-
~. Official analyses by the National
Agronomical Institute and by the mu-
nic!pal laboratory of Paris demon
strate that the schweitzer bread con-
tains more nutritive heterogeneous prop
critics than ordinary bakers bread and
more than double the prosphates in
the latter.
In connection with this model estab-
lishment is a laboratory for the chem
ical examination of the samples or
wheat submitted for purchase These
are, upon their arrival ground and
passed through a sieve by small
hand-bolting mill. which 6e..rlaines
Immediately the nutritive volume of
the grain in gluten and heterogeneous
matter. Mills, ovens and kneaders of
various dimensions may be worked by
machinery or hand power. The latter
system enables the farmer to grind
his own wheat and make his bread
from an unadulterated and wholesome
product.

A new method of breadmaking in

and remarkable results, attracted gem
