A DEFECTIVE FLUE.
Fire Department Made New Century
Run Early This Morning.

A defective flue was the cause of a
fire in the Mascot saloon on East Mer-
curry street shortly after 9 o'clock this
morning, but it was eXtinguished before
it had done much damage. The saloon
and surrounding buildings are frame
structures and the chances are that if
a fire ever gets we'll started there the
owners Will probably have to get out
new building permits.
When the department arrived upon
the scene a great volume of smoke was
issuing from the saloon, but the fire
was quickly located in the attic be-
tween the ceiling and the roof and
stream from the chemical was turned
on. 1t required half an hours hard
work to subdue the flames. but it was
not found necessary to use water
through the regular pipe lines.
The damage was confined to the sa-
loon, and the owners. Robert Atkinson
& Co.. are out probably between SIS
and 500.
The Arizona street hook and ladder,
which was being driven by Henry Bar
ringer. tipped over at the corner Of
Mercury and Main streets as it was
approaching the fire, one of the wheels
catching in the car tracks. The driver
was thrown to the ground, but escaped
with few bruises. The wagon was
slightly damaged by having some of it's
iron work twisted. Chief Sanger states
that the wheels of the wagon are too
close together, and there is always
danger of tipping over in making a turn
on the slippery streets
The chief, in speaking of defective
hues today. scored the contractors and
builders who are responsible. He says

THE RAILROADS. ;


1t is reported on what seems to be the
best of authority that the management of
the burlington road has formulated Il
plan for the refunding, within a rea-
sonable time, of all the bonded debt now
drawing interest at I per cent per an
mum. "A director is credited with the as
'sertion that this plan would be carried
into effect as early as practicable in
l9ol. and in the highest financial circles
At is conceded that such a general re-
FUNDING scheme is under considera ton.
II 1t appears that a large amount of the
Fh'eh-interest bonds are subject to re-
tlrement on the six months call by the
company and others are optional with
the company under the terms of the
deeds. or Z per cent bonds SOS, 1924 600
natures in 1908: the sinking fund 5s ma
ture next year and the total maturing
between 1901 and 1905 is 1874 .O0o
{ With burlington tina.:ces in their pres
ent nigh state of stability it ought to be
easy to cover this amount of the funded
debt with So per cent forty year gold
loan at premium sufficient to cover the
redemption of the outstanding bonds
This contingency has doubtless con-
tributed to the strength of Burlington
issues recently.

clan stored the chest included corrosive sublimate,
