The estimate of the less In the
Baltimore FIRE cannot be accurately
made as vet, but 1t will reach many
millions of dollars. It may be suf

Boston had a great FIRE.

vast sums of money that are lost
every year for such causes are con-
sidered, the necessity for a cam
paign of education In regard to
taking precautions against the de-
structive element would seem to
be Obvious.
This city. however, has been re-
markably fortunate In reference to
fires. for many years past. This
can be accounted Tor to a very
great degree, In two respects. First
the citizens of Slstersville are very
careful about letting fce get start.
Second. many of our buildings are
of brick and stone and In which
there Is very little opportunity fol

add, that this city has the best

MARIETTA, O., MARCH TO-
Early In this month the Review
contained a story In effect that Mrs,
W. W. Brasington, of Montgomery
street, this city had received a mes
sage from New Mexico, stating
that ner brother, John c. Cramer,
had been killed. The message gave
no particulars as to the manner In
which Mr.. Cramer had met his
death, but Mrs. Brasington sup
posed that 1t had been due to an oil
we'll accident.
Mr.. Cramer was born at Warren,
Pa "a years ago and two years ago
left Sistersville for Boulder, Colo. L,
where he engaged In the business
OF contracting In the oil fields. His
sister, living In this city, did not
know that he had gone to New
Mexico until she received the mes
sage informing her of his death.
Later information received by
the Review from Boulder, Colo ,
stated that Mr.. Cramer was muir.

was working. The Boulder infor-
nation states:
"E. D. McColly,w who represented

LOCAL MARKET CONDITIONS.
Potatoes Still Held at Above $2o-A
Rise in Alfalfa--Bad Roads Affect
the Marker

The price of potatoes is still the chief
feature in the local market situation
and some of the growers confidently be
liayc that they will 70 to $50 per ton.
Some Of them have refused offers of
80. made by outside buyers. but the
local dealers are Offering no such figures.
One of them said 10 The Herald vcstcr-
day that he would not pay $40; another
said he was Offering SIS. but both ad-
mittcd that they were not getting many
at those prices. They account for it.
though. by the almost impossible con-
iition of the roads; they look for plen-
ty of potatoes at these prices when the
mud dries up little. Choice Nakimas
are quoted at from S23 to 500 ut Seat
tie but H. :. Morgan of the firm of
Morgan & Co. of thi, city says he has
no confidence in the stability of the
market. a party from Seattle who is
posted" said he to The Herald. tells
me that British Columbia potatoes can
be laid down there for SIG. after paying
So duty. and it is my opinion that the
grower, here will be glad to sell at the
prevailing figures when the roads get
better No potatoes are being shipped
to the eastern markets since the rise in
prices.
Alfalfa has made quite an advance in
price during the past week on two. One
dealer was offering $3.50 yesterday and
another said he would pay SO. They
say. however. that there is little moving
at these figures the reason being that
the farmers can't haul it in on account
of the bad roads james Gourlcv of the
Yakima Produce company says his bal
ers on the Ahtanum had to stop work
the other day on account of the water
driving them out. the field being liter
ally flooded by the melting snow and
ice. The dealers say that alfalfa will
be lower when few days wind dries
up the roads.
