TO FEED PEAS TO CATTLE.
Farmers of the San Luis Valley Have
Found the Experiment to Work
Well With Sheep.

Monte Vista, Colo, July 24.-Now
that the feeding of lambs on peas is an
assured success, the ranchers of the
San Luis Valley are planning to spread
out, and this year several thousand
head of cattle will be given the same
feed. There are thousands of pounds
of peas and the pods and vines from
the San Luis Valley canning factories
which go to waste every year. Two
years ago the plan of feeding this to
lambs was tried, and it was so sue
cessful that now the ranchers of the
district are putting into condition all
of the lambs they can obtain. Lambs,
however, are scarce, so the farmers are
planning to feed what is left of the
peas to the cattle.

EXPENSIVE
TEXAS FIRE
Over Two Million and a Halt
Barrels of Oil Are
Consumed.
FLAMES NAY SPREAD
To Other Tanks. Five Men Known to
Have Net Death and Forty Mules
Cremated.

Humble, Tex, July 24.-Fire started
yesterday in tank belonging to the
Texas Oil Company, caused by light
ming striking the oil. The fire was
held under control all the afternoon
but began to spread at night. At 1913
O'Clock last night eleven of the twelve
great tanks were ablaze and over one
million barrels of oil consumed. Fifty
men are surrounded by the flames, and
their fate is unknown. One hundred
teams are known to be cremated and
number of families have been burned
out of house and home.
Still Raging FierceIy Today.
Humble, Texas, July 24.-Covering
an area of three-quarters of mile and
with canopy of smoke covering two
square miles, the oil tanks of the Tex
as companies continue to boil and bub-
BILE under the great heat of burning
oil, the fire having burned all night.
When it can be extinguished no one
guesses. Certainly not until it has
burned all the oil in the eleven big
tanks, which held 100000 barrels
when the lightning struck them Sun
day afternoon. 1t is now known that
five negro worlzmen perished and ru-
mors place the number of dead as high
as fifty, who were living in tents and
shacks in the oil field, and who lost
all their belongings During the whole
of the night there was a heavy down
pour of rain, and this covers the
ground with sheet of water coated
with thick film of oil. If this oil
catches fire, probably ten tanks of the
Guffey Company, the Sun Company
and smaller owners may go. These
tanks hold 4,500,000 barrels of oil
Shortly after the first big tank began
to blaze, 200 workmen, with seventy
five mules. hurried to the place to
throw up earthen embankments to
confine the fire to the tank where it
originated. Suddenly the oil gave an
upheaval, bubbled, lifted great masses
of the burning fluid bodily out of the
tank, and the fire was communicated
to three other tanks. There was a
wild scramble for safety. Five negroes
were seen to go down, and it is not
thought they could have escaped.
While all the men are not accounted
for, these are all that are certainly
known to have perished. A number of
mules baked and at least forty were
cremated. Early this morning fire
broke out in the steel tanks of the
Texas Company station, a mile from
the original fire. What damage is sus-
tanned cannot be ascertained yet, be-
cause it is impossible to reach that
part of the field.
Losses viii Be Nearly Million Dol
Humble, Tex, July 24.-At 10 clock
the fire was still raging, with no pros
pect of immediate control. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the flames will
eventually be confined to the tankage
district. There are 100000 barrels of
oil in these storage tanks, all of which
will be destroyed The losses are al
ready at three-quarters of million
dollars. Reports of fatalities are not
confirmed, although number of men
are missing.
