longs.
As suicidal as such policy seems,manv
republican papers and some of their prom
inent statesmen have felt 1t their duty to
uphold the almost crimnally un>American
action of the secretary of state. Among
the latter, no less a man than Senator
Fairbanks, than whom Alaskans regarded
none a truer friend, has recently delivered
himself so strangely that he has met with
the unqualified approval OF the Vancouver
World.
The World says: 'e.
.''Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, one of the
representatives of the state of Indiana in
the United States senate, an authorized
spokesman in that body for the Mckinley
administration and member of the Joint
High Commission, possesses a judicial
faculty to such degree that he laughs at
many of the American pretensions concern
ing the boundary controversy. Neither
does he take yerv seriously the complaints
of some Yankee miners In the Porcupine
district that Canada is claiming gold mines
onIthe American side of the boundary line.
Senator Fairbanks, In the New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce, stated that he had in
vestleated some of the statements of these
American miners and has become convinced
that many of their contentious were en-
tlfelv without merit. In one instance he
says that he found that the Stars and
Stripes mad actually been raised BY these
territory grabbing miners over land that
was not only unquestionably in Canadian
TERRITORY. but was more than fitv miles
north of the boundary line that had ever
been claimed BY the United States. Sena-
tor Fairbanks enqured of the man who
had raised the flag concerning his author
ity for. his action. The man naively adj
mitted that he had no authority for raising
the flag, but that he had done so entirely
onhis own responsibility Senator Fair
banks wisely and reasonably closes his
statement with the significant remark:
American flags so raised will have to
come down."

CHIMNEY FIRES.
why salt Is Commonly Used to Put
Them Out.

In accounts Of chimney fires il is
common 10 read That the fire was CN-
tinguiShed by throwing salt down the
chimney. Salt is used because there
is liberated from il when il comes into
contact with the fire a gas that within
au inclOScd space Ike chAlney is
very effective IN eXtinguishing fire.
The primary purpose in throwing salt
or anything else down a burning Chin
ney Is 10 dislodge the burning SCOT,
chimney fires being caused by the igni-
tion Of the SCOT clinging TO the inside
of the chimney. Salt is used for this
pJrpoSe not alone because Of its pecul-
lar effectiveness, but also because il is
something available for the purpose
that can commonly be found at hand
In a house. 1t is thrown down the
chimney in such manner that b will
rattle down the sides and by its weight
knock down the SCOT and sparks cling
ing to the chimney's insides.
a bucket Of sand has been put TO the
same use with good effect, and some
times a scuttle Of coal has been poured
down the chimney, the coal bounding
about from side to side as IL dropped
and SO doing its work effectively.
Sometimes a brick is taken from the
chimney itself and, tied TO a clothes
line. is hauled up and down the chin
ney. with the same result. At the
hearth below or at the bottom Of the
chimney wherever the sparks may fall
there is stationed a man with a pail OF
water 10 put out whatever fire may
drop. Water is not played on n chin
ney fire from a hose because il is not
necessary. and the water would do
more damage than the FIRE.
The damage caused 10y n fire in a
chimney when il is confined there is
nothing or next to nothing. Left alone,
however. 4 chimney fire might work its
way into a building and SO prove de
structivc. and therefore slight as they
may he in themselves or aS they might
be i'm their consequences chimney fires
are always put out and commonly in
the manner Exchange.
