PRAIRIE FIRE m TEXAS
Billows Of Flame Devastated 100000
Acres Of Land.
More Than 1000 Head of Cattle Burned
and Four Unorganlzed Texas Coun-
tics Laid Waste.

Lubbock, Texas. The most destruct-
i've prairie fire ever known in the
Southwest swept over four large coun-
ties northwest of here. 1t destroyed
the grass on more than 800 900 acres OF
land in Hockey, Lamb. Cochran and
Bailey counties, burned more than
1000 head of cattle TO death and de-
stroyed many ranch buildings.
These four counties are unorganized,
and there are no towns within their
borders They are devoted wholly to
ranch interests The fire started in
the northern part of Hockey County
five days ago and was swept south and
west by the high March wind that was
blowing. The grass was dry and of
great height and it afforded fuel for
the flames that caused the conhagra-
ton to become one of the grandest
spectaeles ever witnessed in this re-
gion.
The fire raced with the wind across
the breadth of two counties, covering
a distance of fifty miles In few hours.
This broad wall of fame then swept
south and west, extending its path Of
destruction for a distance of more than
100 miles and laying everything in that
broad scope of country waste.
Women and children who occupied
ranch houses lying in the path Of the
oncoming flames were rescued and car
ried to places of safety on feet-footed
horses.
1t is estimated that the losses caused
by the fire aggregated more than ST.
100000.

Observation-Disclosures TRUST
Bill For Government Plant May Wipe
Out Dupont Contracts.

Out DUPONT Contracts.
Washington, D. G. - The Powder
Trust, known al the Dupont Syndicate,
will lose its valuable contracts with the
Government for making smokeless
powder if bill introduced in the
House by Chairman Hull, of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee, becomes law.
1t appropriates 100000 for the con.
struction Of Government factories in
which the four or five million dollars
worth of smokeless powder, used an
nually by the army and navy, will here
after be manufactured. 1t is thought
the bill will pass, as it has the approval
Of the President, the Secretary of War
and of the Navy
1t Is said the Government can make
its own powder for about one-half what
it now pays the trust. If this state
ment is correct, the Government will
save in a single year on its powder bill
three or four times the cost of the pro-
posed Government powder plant.
The introduction of the Hull bill was
due to an expose of the working of the
Powder Trust made in the House by
Representative Graft, of Illinois, show
ing that the four great powder manu-
featuring concerns of the Countrywide
Dupont, the Lafand & Rand, the Inter
national and the California, which con-
stitute the DUPONT Syndicate-always
put in identical bids in answer to the
Governments advertisement for sup
plying powder.
