FIRE IN LAUNDRY.
Plant Of Excelsior Laundry Company
Badly Damaged Yesterday
Morning.-Loss Over
$5OO-Cause Is
Unknown.

II
Yesterday morning about nine o.
clock an alarm was turned in to the
department calling 1t to the plant of
the Excelsior Laundry company. on
Main street near Sixth. The depart
ment made a quick run and found
the rear portion of the building in
| flames. The regular firemen assist
ed by a number of volunteers work
ed faithfully and ardently and in a
short time had the flames under con-
troll and then extinguished, but not
until damage to the amount of sew
eral hundred dollars had been done.
The rear portion of the building is
Iof frame. in this portion are located
the engine, boilers, big washers and
other machinery.
The frame building was practical
ly destroyed, the roof falling in in
charred. The heavy machinery was
not badly damaged. of course all the
betting was burned. the wooden pull
leys destroyed. the heavy. oaken
washers badly charred. Fortunately
the flames did not get into the main
building which is of brick, the only
damage done therein was by water
that poured through a door. but this
damage was slight.
Just what started the fire is not
known but Fire Chief Rogers is in
clined to think that smouldering
cinder or hot clinker from the boiler
which was cleaned out on Saturday
night. was responsible. However Mr.
Ferbraehe, the proprietor of the
laundry states that on Saturday
afternoon at five O'Clock, as is the
usual custom, the firebox was com
pletely cleaned out and the fire re-
moved from the building. the floors
in the frame portion of the building
were scrubbed up and left in a damp
condition, the floors in the brick
building were also wet down, as is
always done on Saturday night. Mr.
Ferbrache says that several hours
later he was in the engine room and
there was no sign of hot clinkers or
any Indication of a smouldering fire
and still later the engineer was in the
engine room and everything was all
right. Evidently the fire started in
corner of the engine room several
feet from the fire box
Mr.. Ferbrache estimates his loss
at between $500 and $500, fully COW
cred by insurance. The building is
owned by James b. Hunter of Fruita,
and it is also insured. Mr.. Ferbrache
ordered betting and other supplies
last night from Denver by wire and
the work of repairing the damage to
the machinery started this morning.
He believes that he will be ready for
business again Wednesday. In the
meantime he will take care of the
customers who are in hurry for
their work by sending their work to
another laundry. By Tomorrow GER
tain classes of work can de done at
the plant. When again in readiness
the plant will run day and night to
turn out the regular weeks business.
While repairing the damage Mr..
Ferbrache will put in some heavy
pieces of new machinery and will be
better prepared than ever to turn
cut fine work.
The fire attracted a great crowd
and for a time it seemed as il the
whole plant would be destroyed Mr..
Ferbrache speaks highly of the work
of the fire department

Water superintendent Veddcr Says
That the People Must Take
Kannah Creek or Grand
River Water and
He is for Creek.

Water superintendent B. W. We'd
der stated this morning that 1t is
his opinion that in a short time,
whatever the action on the mountain
water proposition maybe the people
of Grand Junction must get another
water supply and that the choice will
be between two sources only, Grand
river and Hannah creek and he says
that between the two propositions
Hannah creek is far the more desir-
able.
Mr.. Vedder affirms the statement
made in the Sentinel a few days ago
to the effect that when the Gunnison
tunnel is completed and the waters
of the Gunnison river are turned in
to this great artificial water way.

made before hand will then be up

few days ago. that the best water

water of the very poorest quality. in
fact it will hardly be drinkable. This
approaching condition. declares Mr..
Vedder. must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. ''It's certainly up to Grand
Junction to provide a new water
supply and to do it in a pretty short
time" says Mr.. Vedder.
In the opinion of the water sup
erintendent there are only two feas-
ible sources from which this city can
get a new supply of water. Hannah
Creek and the Grand river and Mr..
Vedder believes that Hannah creek
undoubtedly furnishes the best
source of supply and that the ad-
vantage of the Hannah creek propo-
sition as advocated by the coun-
Gil and the majority of those who
have directly Interested themselves
in the matter of mountain water sup
ply over the Grand river scheme as
advocated by few, are many and
decided.
The cost of a pipe line to Hannah
creek. reservoirs, etc would be COM
paratlvely small compared with the
cost of a system for Grand River
water.
Mr.. Vedder believes that there is
water enough in Hannah creek to
supply a city many times larger than
Grand Junction and its quality is un-
mistakable. He is decidedly in favor
of the Hannah creek proposition.

The report of Chairman OBoyle
of the special water committee. has
been most favorably commented up
on and will go a long way toward
convincing the people that the thing
to do is to vote for the issuance of
the bonds on Wednesday.
Frank E. Blaisdell left yesterday
for Boston. Mass, and Butler, Pa,
after spending several weeks in the
city with his family and at the min

ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION OF
NITRATEs WILL ENLARGE
WORLDS SUPPLY.
WORKS STARTED IN NORWAY
Success of Undertaking Prevents
Suppression of Entire Western
Civilization by Rice Eaters.

London, Feb. 27.-There is now no
danger of wheat famine in the flu
ture if science can achieve what it
claims.
Sir William Ramsay, reviewing
the attempts made recently to put an
artificial production of nitrates from
the atmosphere on a commercial ba-
sis, shows in the Times the high val
ue Of this scientific work in relation
to the enlarging Of the worlds sup
ply Of wheat. bE##4
More than five years ago, he re-
calls, Sir William Cookies, uttered a
warning note that the population OF
the world was increasing SO rapidly
that the supply Of wheat would
shortly not be sufficient to feed 1t,
but before we were in the grip of ac-
tual dearth, the chemist would slip
in and postpone the day Of famine.
Sir William Ramsay proceeds to
explain how the chemist has been do
ing as was prophesied, first showing
that the air over each square mile of
the earth s surface contains enough
nitrogen in free state to afford
plant food for over sixty years of the
worlds consumption if it were only
combined, and its value would be
about f50O,0O0,0O0 ($2,500,000,000)
if it were in the form of saltpetre.
One Of the attempts to cause nitro
gen and oxygen to combine and fur
nish nitrates is being made in Nor
way, where works are being erected
which will produce large amounts of
nitrate of calcium for direct use as a
manure.
This nitrate of calcium may be
brought to market in one of three
forms-frst, in a fused state, in
which it contains 1876 per cent of nj
rogen; second, in crystals and third,
as basic salt, which forms dry
powder, not turning moist on expos
ure to the air. ...rs.
The present sources Of combined
nitrogen are limited. 1t is doubtful
if the deposits now obtainable from
the eastern sLooes of the Andes will
last beyond 1850, and if wheat is to
be grown in sufficient quantities to
supply food for, the western nations
the artificial production of nitrates
is an absolute necessity.
It's achievement prevents the
threatened suppression Of the wheat
eaters by the rice eaters and main
tains the supremacy of western civil
ization.

BOY Is A FINANCIER AT Is.
Began Buying Securities Year Ago
With Money Earned by Selling
Papers and Saved.

Pennsburg, Pa, Feb. 27.-Though
only thirteen years old and still wear
ing knickerbockers, Foster C. Hille-
gas, Of this town, is captain of in
dustry.
When Foster was twelve years old
he saved enough money earned by
selling newspapers on the street to
invest in securities.
His first purchase was of bonds Of
the Pennsburg water plant, and soon
thereafter he bought building ssoci-
alton shares. Next he started a
regular bank account, and he made
all his payments for newspapers and
other things with his own checks.
He is figuring now on employing
an assistant or two.
Foster has not given up his school
work to carry on his business affairs.
On the contrary he stands well up in
his classes, and is as regular in at
tendance as any youngster who has
nothing to do but play before and
after school.
