The fire record for last year was
terrific. It Is estimated the fire loss
in tho United States and Canada in
1905 amounted to s459,71p00O, of which
over s2s0,ooo.OoO was in San Fran

in tho country at large was over ST.
100000 greater than the total loss Of
1905, and was the heaviest annual loss
in any year except those In which the
Chicago, Boston and Baltimore fires
occurred.
Thus far Richmond has escaped a

Virginia's ReaWakening.

500 an acre lands to realize that they

that would be q wonder and an at

farmers could be made to understand.

will see a great Virginia revival that
will make the tercentennial home
coming to old Jamestown scarcely less
notable than was its first settle
