Destructive Fire.

Thursday last at noon fire broke out in the lodging house of Mrs. Mamie Murphy, on South Front street, and before discovered the flames were driving through the hall, enveloping it to such an extent that it was impos- sible to save any of the effects. In an incredibly short time the fire commu- nicated with the adjoining buildings and they were entirely consumed with the greater part of their contents. The lodging house of Mrs. D. A. Reed, on the west eide was saved by he efforts of nun Der of men, while on the south one of the buildings owned by w. H. Hardy and another owned by John Penberthy were saved. Mrs. Murphy's loss is estimated at 800 s; Capt. w. H. Hardy, four dwelling houses, 1,50OS; Mrs. P. Black, 1,5OOS. Other losses in damaged goods, etc, will bring the losses up to close to l0,00aS.
 Two windmills and tanks were saved by the efforts of the people who brave ly contested the spread of the fire.
 It is the usual thing after each fire for the people of Kingman to get to. gether and talk up fire measures and we expect for the next few days to have the matter literally discussed and than ha nassad m until the next fire stirs them up again.

WIND WROUGHT HEAVY DAMAGE.
Houses Overturned and SmOkeStackS
Blown Down by Tuesdays Storm.

The storm that wrought so much
damage throughout the country the
past week did not pass this section by
unnoticed. Monday night between II
and | o'clock the gale became SO fu-
rious that it assumed proportions of
a small hurricane, and for time it
seemed as though we were in the throes
of destructive coast storm,
No damage was reported in town,
but derrick was blown down in the
oil field. Northeast of town within a
radius of two or three miles consider
able damage was done, large build
ings having been overturned and sew
eral smokestacks at pumping plants
demolished.
The kitchen to house occupied by
tenant on Jas. Ellis farm was blown
from it's foundation and one end of it
twisted around several feet
A large house on the Kinney farm,
occupied by Robinson & Davis, was
blown from it's foundation and large
gallery prevented the building from
overturning. When the storm began
the occupants vacated the house and
escaped uninjured but the houseturn-
ishings and interior of the building
are almost total wreck.
The roof on the large barn belong
ing to the place cultivated by Alfred
Hoipkemeier was blown off, but no
further damage was done. The occu-
pants of the house braved the elements
rather than remain in the building
during the storm.
A. S. Surgeons pumping plant
was badly wrecked, the smokestacks
on the Gallup, Morton and Clayton
farms we're blown down.
For three or four days prior to the
storm the weather had been unusually
warm, fans having been in evidence
at the public gatherings, but the wind
soon switched to the north and Tues
day, Wednesday and yesterday the
Sunny Southland in this section was
converted into a veritable refrigerator.
The blizzard, according to press
reports, was general throughout the
United States.

A Big Rice Sale.

A Crowley special says: John
Green, manager of the foreign depart
ment of the American Rice Brokerage
Company, returned last Saturday
from Cuba, where he had been nego-
tiating the sale of large quantity of
low grade rice for number of Texas
and Louisiana mills. Mr.. Green sold
$4,000 pockets and expects to market
a large quantity more. Relative to
the outlook for American rice in the
Cuban market he says:
'The visible supply of rice in Ha-
vana now is about 10000 pockets, and
very little is being imported from
Europe and India. The sales of Amer
lean rice have been on the basis of
five cents above the domestic market.
The Cubans appear to be pleased with
out rice, and | look to see that market
absorb about $4,000 to 1000 bags a
month between now and the middle of
August, when the next rice season
opens.
There is movement in Cuba for the
protection of the Cuban rice industry
by the imposition of an additional
duty on all foreign rices. The pros
pect now is that the tariff bill which is
now before the Cuban lower house will
be passed by the congress and become
a law AS there is a differential of
40 per cent in favor of American rice,
this additional duty will help US if it
is made high enough"

Jennings a Productive Field.

The Beaumont Journal in reviewing
oil conditions in the Southwest gives
the following facts and figures:
With the exception Of the California
oil field, the field at Jennings is today
the most productive field in the United
States. It's production is equal to the
combined output of the Texas fields.
One year ago the jennings field was
producing on an average &, 800 barrels
of oil daily. At present the daily az
erage is 600 barrels, and within the
next three months it is liable to be
100000 barrels. la fact little attention
is now paid to an oil we'll in the field
mentioned unless it produces 10000
or 10000 barrels daily. The COM
bined production TO all the wells in
the field has gone as high as $4,000
barrels day.
The storage capacity of the field is
4,000,0 900 barrels, and it is taxed to the
utmost, and new reservoirs are con-
stantly being built Fifteen thousand
barrels are being shipped out of the
field every day. The total proven
area Of the field is being constantly
widened as new wells are brought in
! from day to day.

Broom corn in Rice Belt,

The Gueydan News has quite an en-
tended article on broom corn as
successful crop for this section. 1t
says;
c. D. Babbitt has on exhibition at
his Office, a hand of broom corn
raised by o. Gammill, on his farm
just east of town. Mr.. Gammill plant
ed his crop after July 4, from seed
obtained in Illinois, while on a visit
north this summer. He did not give
the crop any attention, simply left it
grow itself and the yield was remark
able, showing that with proper culti-
vatlOn broom corn can be made one
Of the most profitable crops in this
section, as it will easily produce three
quarters of ton of the first and Sec
ond quality brushes, to the acre,
which sells readily at $50 per ton, be-
side which, the blade makes the finest
kind of fodder and the seeds are
unsurpassed for chicken feed.
AS this was only an experiment
crop and raised without cultivation it
can easily be seen that hardly a fair
test was made.

How to Keen Good Roads.

A veteran road worker writes me
noting many reasons why roads are
not in good condition. Loose wire is
often found attached to a post and
extending into the roadway. Old
Usage hedge is abominable. Many
will NOW weeds along the roadsides
and pile them in the cutters, blocking
the flow of water instead of burning
all such trash. Telephone companies
obstruct the roads by placing polls
too far out in the right of-way and
they cut off branches of trees and
leaves them to present an untidy ap-
pearance. If every land owner could
do just q little work toward keeping
the side bitches open there would bt
few mud holes. | have observed that
few minutes work we'll directed at 8
certain time would save the labor O.
days later on.

Rice Growers Oppose Reduction.

The New Orleans Picayune: 1.-The
growers of rice throughout Texas and
Louisiana are undoubtedly with the
railroads in the contention in regard
to freight rates on this commodity
which the railroad commission now
has under consideration" said
Charles S. Fay, who has been repre-
Senting the Southern Pacific in the
railroad commission hearing on rice
rates. "Of their own accord a large
number of these growers came to
Baton Rouge and protested against
any reduction in the freight rate.
They realized that if such a reduction
was made, the rough rice would come
to New Orleans before it was cleaned
and the country people would lose a
per cenJage of their profit on the
cereal. The growers and the millmen
VII OuS uUuU VIC wv SUdGSS lSullHS tobl
and in case the railroad commission
takes any action looking to reduc-
ton in rates, the strongest protest
will come from the men who raise the
rice.
'In view of the evidence which was
brought before the Railroad commits
sion in this case" continued Mr.. Fay,
II do not see how a decision can be
reached other than that of sustaining
the present rates on both rough and
cleaned rice. The reduction asked for
was % per cent. 1t was shown at the
hearing that the reduction in rice
freight rates during the past nine years
has been close to 33 per cent, and it is
ridiculous to ask the railroads to
carry it for less than they are doing
at the present time. l hope that the
members of the commission will look
at hse matte in this light, as it is
really the desire of most Of the men
connected with the rice business.
