fire could be kept from crossing the

firemen made desperate stand. Ins
effort was useless, however, and soon
the tall, narrow buildings OF Mullins
hotel began to show tongues OF nRme.
The remainder of the buildings De-
tween Sharpe and Liberty streets were
quickly ablaze and the fire began its
march to the north
In an incredibly short time the en-
tire south side of Fayette street had
added its material to the roaring
flames. Down Fayette and Charles
streets they swept, and in twinkling
the building occupied by Puts 81 Co..
on the corner, was doomed
Seeing that nothing could save 1t, 1t
was decided to destroy the building
with dynamite in the nope ow prevent
ing the fire from crossing Charles
street. The explosion was successful,
but the effort failed, The entire cor
ner collapsed instantly, but this had
apparently no effect on the progress
of the fire, for almost before the sound

Area of Fire District.
The area of the fire district extends
from Liberty street on the west, to
Jones Falls on the east, distance of
about three-quarters of a mile, and
from Fayette to Pratt streets north
and south, a distance of four city
blocks. Included in this territory
were q number of financial estates
OF national repute, including the
buildings Of Alexander Brown & Sons,
the Continental Trust company, the
Union Trust company, the Atlantic
Trust company, the offices of the Bal
timore and Ohio and the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad companies; the MARYLAND
Eouthern and Chesapeake railroad, sew
eral steamship companies, all the larg-
est wholesale houses, many of the
principal retail stores and thousands of
smaller business establishments. MANY
OF them carry little or no insurance.
and 1t is doubtful If many of the in
surance companies are able to nav
their losses dollar for dollar and those
that do will probably require time in
which to arrange for the payment.
Start of the Fire.
The start Of the fire was in the base
ment OF the Hurst & Co.'s wholesale
dry goods house. After burning for
ten minutes or so, there was a loud
explosion from the interior of the
building as the gasolene tank used
for the engine in the building let go.
Immediately the immense structure
collapsed, sending destruction to ad.
jacent buildings in all directions and
putting the fire at once beyond the
control of the firemen.
The first attempt at dynamiting was
In the large building Of Strong, Cater
& Co.. but 1t failed to collapse and at
tention was turned to the building at
the southwest corner OF Charles and
German streets, where six charges of
dynamite, each charge containing a
hundred pounds, were exploded.
The tremendous force of the explo.
sions tore out the massive granite col
umns that supported the building and
left 1t with apparently no support. but
the walls failed to collapse.
They stood until the flames had
crossed Charles street, and had eaten
into the block between Charles and
Light streets.
The fire then communicated to a
row OF buildings on South Charles
street between German and Lombard
streets and all those places, occupied
principally by wholesale produce and
%rain dealers, were quickly destroyed.

checking the flames at Lombard

been reaehed at Howard street, but
the progress of the flames toward the
north was simply appalling. From

RUGBY AND PIERCE COUNTY, N. D.
A Brief Mention of the City and County, and
Their Resources

Rugby is a town Of about 1900 in
habitants, on the main line of the
Great Northern railroad, and is the
starting point of the branch road
known as the Bottineau-Sou branch.
1t has the service of three daily trains
going and coming either east or west,
and one train going and coming to and
from Souris. Rugby is one of the best
towns along the main line of the
Great Northern railroad between
Grand Forks and Minot, N. D. 1t is
the only town in Pierce county worth
speaking of, and is the county seat.
The city boasts a high school as we'll
as graded schools. There are five
large double elevators and good load
ing platforms for farmers who desire
to load their grain or stock on the
cars and ship. The churches repre-
scented are Lutheran, Congregational,
Methodist, Catholic and Episcopal.
Business houses of all kinds are well
represented there. Rugby has a first
class flour mill and cream
cry A local telephone system
and electric light plant are among the
towns accommodations The surface
of the country surrounding Rugby iS
partly fiat and partly rolling prairie,
covered in its natural state with a
growth of most nutritious grasses.
Pierce county has many fair-sized
lakes, whose waters are fast becoming
famed for their medicinal properties.
They are delightful resorts for bathing,
boating and hunting.
Pierce county's greatest natural adj
vantage is her fertile soil. 1t consists

of rich loan, one to three feet deep.
with a clay subsoik of such nature
that it absorbS wonderful amount of
moisture and giveseit up as needed by
the growing plants, thus standing
either wet or dry seasons with re-
markable results- 1t requires no
drainage, irrigating or fertilizing The
annual rainfall as shown by govern
ment records shows that Pierce county
has been favored at such times during
the spring and summer when most
needed by the growing plants. Plenty
of good water is found on practically
every farm at from twelve to forty
feet deep. There lis no more heaIthful
climate in the world.
The soil is easy to cultivate, and
never bakes even when worked i'm
medfately after a rain. There are but
few stones, and these are on the sur
face and are takensout when the land
is broken and retained for building
purposes. There are no stumps or
roots to grub out, and fencing is un-
necessary except for pasture. Work is
done with large machinery, thus en-
abling one man to do the work of two.
Oats, barley, rye, speltz and other
grains are extensively raised, <and in
recent years corn is occupying con-
siderable attention and producing good
results. Potatoes and vegetables of all
kinds are raised in abundance and of
the finest quality. Abundance of rich
natural grasses, good water and wild
hay make Pierce county an ideal place
for raising cattle,1 sheep and horses,
combined with good grain farming.
Mixed farming pays.
