sAoDLlNG THE PROFESSOR.
Gift to Dean Carlyle of the Asrieul
tural College.


A Republican special from Fort Col
Inns says: The students and faculty of
the Agricultural college were treated
to an unusual sight Friday morning
when Dean w. j. Carlyle's saddle
horse was led into the college chapel
with a silver-mounted English riding
saddle on its back. Glenn Bishopp pre-
sented the saddle to Dean CARLYLE in
behalf of the Agricultural college
students as an appreciation of his
faithful services to the college and as
a token of the best wishes of faculty
and students for successful European
trip.
Students often play horse" but this
was the first visit of real horse TO
chapel ard the incident was the occa-
sion of wild applause from the assem-
bled students. ...
Professor Carlyle thanked the stud
ents for their gift and then outlined
the itinerary of his trip. He is the ex-
pert in charge of the United States
government horse-breeding expert
ment at Fort Collins and goes to Eu-
rope as the special agent of the Depart
ment of Agriculture to study the meth
ots and principles of horse breeding
practiced in the old world. The OBJ
ject of the trip is to acquire informa-
ton that will be of benefit to the en-
nneriments being carried on at Fort
Collins.
Professor Carlyle will leave Denver
Saturday and expects to reach faris
June 9th, where he will visit the Inter
national horse show of France. Thence
he will visit the National show of Bel
gium and reach London in time for the
famous Royal show of England. The
trip will cover four months. The last
portion of ii will take in the horse
breeding sections of Austria and Rus

the new mortgage loan corporation

MICHIGAN FOREST FIRE.
Millions of Dollars Worth Of Property
Destroyed.

Milwaukee-A dispatch TO the Sen
tinel from Escanaba, Michigan, by a
staff correspondent, says:
Four known dead, score or more
persons missing, hundreds OF families
homeless, several millions of dollars
of property burned. four towns wiped
out entirely and a dozen more parti-
ally destroyed: five counties devas-
tated and 100 square miles of territory
fire swept. This is the dreadful pic.
ture that the northern Michigan PENN
sua presents today after the worst
forest fire since the Peshtigo disaster
in 1871 has spent itself.
General Superintendent Wells of the
Escanaba & Lake Superior railroad,
along whose right of way the greatest
loss occurred. returned tonight from
a trip of inspection over the fire
stricken area, and says the flames
have gone down and for the time be-
ing the danger is over, unless a new
gale arises to again fan the embers
into flames
The following summary briefly tells
the story:
Peter LaFond, cook. was smoth-
cred in lumber camp and his body
found tonight.
Three unknown children, all dead al
Quinnesec, Michigan. They were sep.
arated from their parents while the vii
lage was burning and perished.
Scores of homesteaders and woods
men are missing and many have prob
ably perished in the flames.
Territory devastated. five counties,
Marquette, Menominee, Delta, AlSer
and Dickinson.
The territory fire swept is 100 miles
square.
Towns totally burned, Talbot, Michi-
gan, 100 population, only few houses
left standing.
Quinnesec, Michigan, 400 population,
only one house remains.
Saunders, $50 population, all wiped
out.
Niagara. Wisconsin, 300 population,
all wiped out
Towns partially destroyed: North
land, Cornell. Antoine. Spring Valley,
Kingsley. Woodland, Foster City, Sala,
Metropolitan.
The fire ragged for distance of sixty
four miles along the line of the Escah
aba & Lake Superior railroads and for
thirty miles beyond Claiming, the
terminus of the road. 1t seems certain
now that 1000 persons are homeless in
that district and that 1000 are left
desolate at Quinnesec.

,arcical Meat Inspection.


A constant menace to public life
and health in the stockyards of Chi
cago is shown up by DR.. w. X.
Jaques, formerly director of the Chi
rago Laboratory, and in charge of the
meat inspection at the stockyards, who
tells In Worlds Work of the inefi-
cheney and corruption OF the local in
spection. Among other things. he
says: During the first month in
which was city director. one meat
Inspector made only one condemna-
tion for that month, and that of an
immature calf. Another inspector
made no report to me of any work
done during my entire term OF ONCE
and l was powerless to compel him
to do so because of his political back
ing. 1t is needless to say that he
drew his salary regularly. Still an
other meat inspector was engaged In
a profitable side line of buying quar-
antined beef for packers. The ac
curacy and thoroughness of the work
of government inspectors can be
judged when 1t is estimated that from
1000 to 1900 cattle are often killed
