Big Fire at Fowler.

In the burning of the Yards of
the Fowler Lumber Company
Monday night the owners sustain
a loss of approximately $4,000.
This is well covered by insurance.
1t will never be known how the
fire originated, 1t is thought by
some that the evening train might
have scattered sparks in such
way that this was the cause. but
from the fact that it is not certain
as to where the flames broke out
this is only one of several theories.
The Beatty -Stubbs Company mar
rowly escaped, as did the Wolfe
hotel. The greater part of the
contents was removed from these
buildings
A second time the recently or
ganlzed fire department has proved
its value. In either case it seemed
as though the town would certain
ly burn to the ground. From the
fact the business portion of the
town is so closely built together
there has always been great appre-
hension lest an uncomfortable fire
might at any time start. Insur-
ance rates, for that reason, have
been as high as Z per cent. But
with the efficient water system
recently installed a fire depart
ment was organized, and the town
now thanks the kind fate that
kept fires from breaking out until
all was ready to cope with them.

Lakin reports that the sugar
beet crop in that county was care
fully inspected by the agricultur-
list of the Rocky Ford sugar facto-
ry the first of the week, and he
says that in the entire Arkansas
valley the outlook is the most fay
orable since the factory was estab-
lished. Fields in Kearny county
will make fully 20 tons to the acre,
for which the farmers will receive
SIS per ton on cars. While the
acreage will not exceed 400 acres,
the conclusion is plain that sugar
beet raising in Kearny county will
become one of the permanent
crops. .-Syracase journal.

The Weeks Markets.

Kansas City, Mo, July 25-In
spite of the strike. receipts of live
stock at Kansas City last week
were just about the same as dur
ing the same week last year. At
ter the break in cattle prices last
Monday. the run lightened up, re-
sulting in strong markets each day
up to Friday. The news of the
second disagreement between
packers and union men caused the
market to fatten out, and by
the close on Saturday, prices for
all kinds of killing cattle were
down to Mondays basis again.
The supply today is 1000 cattle,
and the market is strong to 10
cents higher. The packing plants
had more men working today than
at any time in the last two weeks.
Armour g. Swift bought cattle
freely, and outside orders for good
cattle were numerous. Shippers
should bear in mind that handy
weight steers and good butcher
stuff is what is wanted, and that
common stuff and Gamers cannot
be sold at reasonable prices. Beef
steers sold up to S5. 80 today, grass
westerns are worth up to $50,
best heifers $500, COWS 1926.
grass heifers $3.50, COWS $500,
veal calves $4.75. Demand for
stockers and feeders has been
small, but as the strike conditions
seem to be getting no worse, it is
believed country buyers will soon
take hold and in short time the
usual volume of business in this
line will be moving. Prices now
range from S2.75 to $3.50, most
sales at $500 to S3.75. Grass
Texas steers bring S3.75 to $3.50,

The British Admiralty has under con-

pedo-boats. and may create a class of
these small crafts for the navy An
experiment will be made with a boat
130 feet in length, with motors below
torpedo tube which can be pointed in
any direction. AS torpedo picket boats
these craft would be invaluable in night
attacks, as the absence of smoke and
tunnels would make them almost invis-
ible to an enemy. On the other hand,
the serious objection to motors for war
purposes is the highly inflammable ma
ture of the fuel, for if a shell struck a
tank of gasoline or petroleum it would
mean the instantaneous destruction of

FAMOUS BRITISH
ADMIRALCOMINC
Sir LambtOn Lorraine Leaves
London Next Month for a
Visit to the United States
GOING TO THE ORIENT
Is Only Living Englishman
on Whom Freedom of New
York Has Been Conferred
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, July 24-Admiral Sir
Lambton Lorraine will sail for the
United States next month and will re-
main there for several weeks en- route
to China and Japan. He will visit the
principal cities of the country, includ-
ing the Worlds Fair, and then proceed
to Montana, Oregon, California and
other Pacific Coast points, sailing from
San Francisco.
The admiral is the only Englishman
who can boast of having the freedom of
New York conferred upon him since
revolutionary days. This honor fol-
lowed what is known as the Virginius
incident, when an American filibuster,
the Virginius, was captured by the
Spanish and taken to the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba. The
Spaniards were engaged in a whole
sale execution of the English and
Americans aboard when Sir Lambton
entered the port in command of the
warship Nile and threatened to blow
every vessel out of the harbor if any
more were killed. The butchery was
suspended, and for this Sir Lambton,
who is the head of one of the oldest
houses in England, his baronetcy dat
ing from King Charles l. received the
freedom of New York and a pure gold
brick from Montana miners.
Lady Lorraine is a descendant of the
Broke who fought the naval duel be-
tween the Shannon and the Chesa-
peake.
