/. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov S.-Shortly be-
fore midnight last. night a fire started IN
tho big clock tower on the Chronicle
building rs a result Of the firing Of bombs
to announce the election results, and the
flame spread with such rapidity that me
entire fire apparatus of the city was SUM
ipored to the scene.
& Owing to the great height of the flames
It was impossible to reach them even with
the combined forces Of the water towers
and tho familiar superstructure Of the
building was speedily reduced to debris,
which toppled III blazing sections TO the
street below.
md q considerable portion OF that part
Of the building was burned before the.
weak water supply succeeded IN quench-
Ing It. In the tower was located the pho
tcgraphio department and below 1t, on the
top floor, was the composing room. In
which are located many linotype ma
chimes. To what extent these were dam
aged Is not known.
1t Is believed that the library, the most
valuable Of It's kind In the West, has been
practically destroyed. The editorial rooms
and many business offices on tho lower
floors were deluged with water poured on
the upper part OF the structure. The fire
came In the midst Of the final prepara-
tons for the issue Of the cleo ton edition
and the courtesy Of the use of the Exam
iner's plant was Immediately offered to
the Chronicle. The offer was accepted,
and the Chronicle this morning was print
cd on the presses Of. its contemporary, Its
own press-room being flooded by the vol-
,lme Of water that poured down the ele-
vator shafts. s
It Is impossible to estimate the flnan-
cial loss yet Several members of the art
staff who attempted to save some Of their
property were almost cut off from escape
and had dfficultyiin getting to a place Of
safety.

The livestock interests of the Trans
Mississippi region will receive much at
tention at the coming session of the
TransIMhssissippi Commercial con-
gress, which meets in Portland.
Oregon, August 16 to 10 inclusive.
The American Stockgrowers' associa-
ton has designated Mr.. T. M Tomlin-
son of Denver, Colorado, it's secretary,
to deliver an address upon this sub
ject, and he will not only speak of the
livestock interests, but will talk with
emphasis upon the reciprocity feature
of the topic which is now creating
such wide interest in livestock circles,
not only in the West, but in Washing
ton, where the administration has al
ready signified it's approval of legisla-
tion along this line. The livestock as
sociations have been invited to send
delegates, and responses show great
interest in this subject among the
stockgrowers of the Trans-Mississippi
country.

"LITTLE BREEcHEs

The hero of Little Breeches," the
poem which brought fame to the late
Secretary of State John Hay. is said
to be the son of Solomon Van scey of
New Virginia, Iowa, who is now a
big, husky farmer living near Let's,
Iowa.
Laren Talbot, of Sioux City, a.
cousin, recalls the incident upon which
the poem was based, and tells about it
as follows: "My cousin was about
four years old when he broke into
fame. Van scey was driving a spirit
ed team near New Virginia one day
and when he got out of the wagon for
a minute the team dashed away, taking
the lad for a ride, which was to make
the boy most as famous as did the
midnight ride make Paul Revere.
Down the road the horses went, over
bitches, fences. and brush piles.
Finally the wagon was overturned
and the little fellow was thrown head
first into drove OF sheep. The father

steads during the year ending June
80, 1908, in Mclean county, in that
part belonging to the Bismarck land
| district alone.
The county has the most fuel of any
county in North Dakota. Ignite coal
veins varying from 6 to 20 feet in
thickness crop out in several places ;,
probably nearly the whole slope Is un-
derlaid with Ignite. Several extern.
sive mines are opened. The Missouri
bottoms are mostly covered with a.
fringe of timber Carrying from one-half
to two miles in width. This timber,
consisting of cottonwood, willow, elm
and box elder, has given the farmers
abundant supply for fence posts and
other purposes.
Ignite, of course, is mostly used for
fuel as it can be mined at from so
cents to 80 cents per ton. Many
creameries have been started on the
Missouri Slope and on account of the
aouuOduSS VI uuIl1IlOuo GRASSES anu
excellent water, it is destined to take
front rank as dairy country.
The settlers are Of mixed nationali.
ties. The pioneers were mostly sturdy
thrifty Swedes, but now Americans
from Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
other states predominant, but there are
large numbers of Germans, Norweg-
ians, Russians and other nationalities.
Persons desiring homes can find no
finer country to settle in. They will
find themselves in homelike surround.
ings at once, and land will without
doubt double and treble in value with
in few years.
Mercer county on the west of the
Missouri river, partakes to consider
able extent of the desirable character
istics Of the Slope portion of Mclean
county. 1t has been away out of
reach by railways, but the steamboats,
now running regularly to Mannhaven
and Expansion puts all the best part
of Mercer county in reach of good
shipping facilities.
Sportsmen will find unlimited mum.
bers of prairie chickens and ducks,
and also geese in season. Deer and
antelope are common, and bear is
often found in the bottoms of the Mis-
souri, river.
This time table is the neatest, most
compact and easiest table of the kind
to decipher that has appeared and
must surely be source of much pleas
ure and profit to travellers on that
growing and progressive line of rail-
road.

In writing of the irrigation works
being undertaken by the reclamation
service in the West, F. H. Newell,
chief engineer, says: "These under
takings, while not as expensive as the
Panama canal, involve as great, if not
greater, questions of engineering and
business judgment. The law requires
not merely that irrigation works shall
be built, but more than this, the coun-
try reclaimed must be settled in small
tracts and the cost of the work ulti-
mately returned in ten annual INSTALL
ments. There is proba bly, no other
undertaking in the United States upon
which the future of the nation so de-
ponds. The successful execution of
the reclamation act means not merely
creating thousands of homes, but more
than this, it results in upbuilding great
home markets for manufactured prod
ucts and vastly increases the value of
all the transportation and other in.
dustries Of the entire country.

and friends, running frantically in an
effort to catch the runaway, saw the
accident to the boy. With aching
heart the father rushed to the spot,
fearing to find the little fellow a stiff
fened corpse, but on the approach OF
his father the little fellow promptly
sat up and said: Dad, give me a chaw
of terbacker.' That was the incident
which prompted the great diplomat to
write his famous verses, Little
Breeches.'"
