gether the finest lot of hounds

hunt when Louthan, disowned any

the also rams.
The writer has the n ames of
every man that was present but
owing to limited space it Is impos-

them all.
But we think that every man
present had good hunt and a fine
time.
There was only one thing hap
pened to mar the pleasure If the

gang from Spring Greek, tried to
make rough camp and finally

PANHANDLE PRAIRIE
FIRE HUGE BARBECUE

Details Of the destructive prairie
fire in the Panhandle of Texas
show that the loss is twice as great
as first reported. At least two
million acres of grass was lost.
The fire started in New Mexico
near Elida, and, burning east
ward, spread rapidly to right and
left, pushing forward hcrcely un-
der the strong wind. The tract
burned is one hundred miles in
length from east to west, and
sixty miles wide from north to
south, lying generally east of Por-
tales.
The Roswell Record says of the
losses:
The l.. F. d. has only one hum
dred sections of pasture left.
The X outfit, Barnett, Div
ers & Bird, all their grass.
The Spade outfit lost all Of it's
grass.
The Slaughter people will feed
one thousand cattle for the l.. +.
ID. and the rest of the Littleield-
White cattle will probably be
brought in the direction of Ros-
we'll.
The l.. F. d. outfit had fifty
cattle burned to death and 1900
others badly injured by the fire.
Many of these may die. This, oil
course, represents only a small
part of the death loss, as the many
other ranching outfits that lost have

County Clerk Is Busy.

County Clerk Mulcreavy, acting un-
der suggestions by Mayor Schmitz,
has detailed sixteen courtroom clerks
to assist the health officers in pre-
pairing the statistics for the Health
Department. The rest of the deputies
are engaged in making inventories OF
books, papers and other records re-
covered from the ruins of the City
Hall. When this work is complete
the papers must be indexed, which
work will require more than six
months. Clerk Mulcreavy urges the
Mayor to provide more suitable &C.

BIG LAND DEAL
ABOUT CLOSED.
Southern Pacific Is
After FOntdnd
Warehouse.
Property Valued
at a Quarter
Million.

Negotiations are pending for one Of
the largest real estate deals since the
fire. The Southern Pacific Company
has all but closed arrangements for
the purchase OF the large Fontana
warehouse at the foot Of Van Ness
avenue, near Fort Mason. The Fon-
tana people acquired this property a
few years ago for $4,000, and the
present sale calls for $250,000. This
is the strongest argument yet ad-
vanced to controvert those people
who predicted a fall in real estate
values in San Francisco as a result
of the earthquake and fire.
The purchase gives the Southern
Pacific a frontage on the northern
end Of the bay, which they have long
desired to obtain. No authentic state
! ment has been made as to the use to
which the land will be put, but 1t will
be recalled that the question Of new
! landing for the ferry-boats running
to the north shore has been long In
the minds of the railroad people. In
fact, ever since the Hartman fnter-
ests became associated with the man
agement Of the California Northwest
ern and North Shore lines the OH
cials have been considering the ques-
ton Of a ferry landing to shorten the
| bay run.

MONTEREY COUNTY
PRODUCES A BRICK
THAT IS FIRE-PR0OF
Non Conductor Of Heat and Gives Out
Vapor That Extinsuishes
Flames.
Is Made From Deposits That Are
Found in Great Quantities in
the Hills.
Experiments Made by the Merchants
Association Demonstrate
Its Worth.

MONTEREY, May 10.-A fireproof
brick that will build a house that
cannot be burned from the outside
and that will extinguish the flames
that start on the inside is what Mon
terey will be sending out TO the world
IN few months. Experiments made
III this city in the last week and re-
ported at the Merchants Association
last evening indicate this. The brick
is a non-conductor of heat, and, while
a gasoline torch is sending a strong
fame against 1t, an inch below the
surface 1t Is perfectly cold. Deposits
discovered In the hills here are used
in making the brick.
A house built of it could not be
burned. no matter what the heat ap-
piled to 1t was. The brick would pre-
vent the heat going through. A fire
started inside would not burn, as the
heat would cause vapor to arise from
the brick similar to that used In hand
grenades ana would extinguish the
fire.
There Is any quantity of the deposit
near the city and the brick can be
cheaply made. Fireproof buildings will
be revolutionized by this invention
The Merchants Association is to con-
duet further experiments.

Says Atlantic Cap

R. q. Geeman, a New York capital

Francisco, believes that the city will
be rebuilt bigger and better than ever.
He came here to size up the situation,
learn the spirit of the people and as
certain just how far the recent dis
ester has gone toward delivering a
solar plexus blow to the courage for
which Californians are noted. He
found that courage not at all shaken.
Everywhere the rapid and noble work
of reconstruction was viewed by him
and his associates with great pleas
ure.
Beeman said yesterday to a Call
representative:
Il have talked with San Francisco's s
moneyed men and have seen the in
dominatable courage of your citizens.

mination which will result in the re-

Personally I think that a new era

The Board OF Public Works is sadly
in need or funds. President Frank
Maestretti stated at the meeting yes
terday that ways and means for rals-
Ing money to carry on the urgent
work OF the department would nave
to be devised at once. He asked City
Engineer Woodward II he could not
levy fees for work done by that de-
partment. Woodward said there was
no chance for such system OF rev
enue, so Maestretti decided he would
have to look elsewhere for an income.
He announced that the board would
devise some way OF raising money az
once.
City Engineer Woodward submitted
a report summing up the damage
done by the earthquake and fire TO
the various from and steel bridges in
the city. According to his figures the

great pile OF coal was ignited and
blazed for more than a week. So cer-
tain were they that the place had been
destroyed that not until few days
ago did the officials OF the company
visit the place. They knew the in
flammable nature of the stock with
which their storeroom was filled and
it was mere curiosity to- survey the
remains that led them to that part of

not have furnished half the surprise
than did the sight of that oil-soaked

over the ashes of its ..fireproof' neigh
