Robert f. Peary's article "The Last
Years of Arctic Work." which is printed
in the February McClure's, is splendedly
optimistic over the outcome of the siege
of the pole. The author not only pre-
diets tliat the pole will be won, but
states precisely how. This is character
istic of Lieutenant Peary, and the same
enthusiasm infuses every line of his
article, which is narrative Of the expe-
tiition on which he discovered and found
ed the north cape of Greenland-with
little doubt the northermost land in the
world. Here he lets himself out, indeed,
and his description of how it feels to set
ones eyes on land no human being has
ever seen before, is one that readers of
Lieutenant Peary's story will not for
get.

How many readers of the Register
have ever read their fire insurance poll
cies? How many know that if the prop
erty insured is not insured to so per
cent. of its real value, they will only
receive five-eighths of the amount of the
policy in case of a total loss. This is
co-insurance. Read your policies. See
what it cost Christ Church, in Mont
pelier, as told in the state news.

That the people of our great northwest
are in no danger of such a fuel famine as
the east has suffered from during the
present winter is clearly demonstrated
in the Review of Reviews for February
by Prof. Frank A. Wilder, of the North
Dakota geological survey, who describes
the remarkable coal and Ignite deposits
of that region.

A good many people who are obliged
to burn wood in coal furnaces this winter
are having no end of trouble with creo-
sote. This can be largely prevented by
leaving the slide In the feed door open,
or if there is no slide, the! door slightly
ajar, so the air will enter above the fire.
This will stop the creosote running.

2 Fire Swept.


(COnUl0uGQ from rage l.)
the progress of the flames at this point,
and the Mcleod block was the next to
succumb to the inevitable and from that
moment 1t was plain TO see that Pine
Hall, occupied by Frank A. Bond, as a
clothing and furnishing store, must feed
the flames.
Long before this the Union block had
assumed the form of furnace, and the
block occupied by A. J. Blackmer, fur
niture dealer, milford K. Burt, druggist,
and William jackson, was beyond hope
of saving.
The fire department heroically stood
to their posts and stemmed the awful
sweep of flame from extending further
west at this point, although the hardest
kind of work was needed to arrest the
progress of the flames after the oil store
house of Bond Brothers took fire. This
latter building was saved.
The planning mill and sash and blind
factory of Rogers & Wells was well
ablaze by this time, owing to its close
proximity to the Union block, being
located less than Is feet west, but moth
ing could be done to save the property,
as every ounce of water was needed on
Main street to arrest, If possible, the
sweep of flame which threatened to
destroy the Y. NJ. c. a. building, and
which by this time had Quilted the Nc
Leod block, occupied by Isaac Shapiro,
clothier, and Parker & Harris, steam
laundry.
Pine Hall was beginning to show the
effects of the terrific heat, and half
hundred men were working to carry out
the stock of clothing, staying in the
building until the heat became simply
uncomfortable. In 20 minutes from the
time the workers left the building the
roof fell with roar, and for the next
constantly playing upon the Y. NJ. C. A.
block, 'and the progress of the flames
was stayed at this point, and for the first
time the department could see that the
work of destruction was practically over
and that the terrible calamity had
reached its height, and the fire was
under control.
Yet some alarm was felt for the Star
Mills, but the wind being fresh from the
west kept the flames and falling embers
from the Rogers & Wells property away,
and only the roof of the pump house
west of the saw mill was destroyed.
During the progress of the fire the air
was filled with millions of sparks and
large blazing embers, and the awful, yet
spectacular effects will never be for
gotten.
Shortly after three o'clock the town
hall on the east side of the creek in the
residential section was discovered on
fire on the roof, having caught from
flying embers, but prompt work quickly
extingushed the blaze.
Middlebury, although stunned by this
calamity, will, doubtless, like the phG.
nix, rise from its ashes, and within few
months the burned area will again take
on, not only Its old-time but renewed
activity.
If the bylaws of the village do not
give the trustees authority to establish a
fire district and require the erection of
fire proof buildings within that area, the
trustees should be given that authority
as soon as possible. Until this is done,
and no wooden buildings are erected
within the business section, insurance
rates will remain very high.
