five BLOCKS BURN
AT VICTORIA, B. c.

Victoria, B. g. July "a The great
est fire in Victoria's history occurred
Tuesday afternoon, destroying five
blocks and many detached buildings,
involving loss of quarter of million
dollars. Starting in the usused boiler
shop of the defunct Albion works, the
fire wiped out the shacks of the of ten
rloin. From Store street to Quadra,
four blocks eastward, and between
Herald and Chatham and Pioneer
streets, scarcely anything escaped.
The poor pressure Of water greatly
handicapped the firemen, who, aided
by the soldiers of the garrison and a
host of volunteers, fought desperately,
pulling down many buildings in the
path of the fire, which was brought
under control at p. III.
In many Instances the furniture
brought to the street was burned before
conveyances could be secured to carry
it away.
Several narrow escapes took place.
The women who wanted to get back
into burning buildings to save their
valuables We're dragged out by fremen
as the root fell In
One woman ON Green street became
cra2ed and tried to rush back into a
burning building, being prevented by
a policeman, who grabbed her and hur-
ried her struggling from the scene.
The number of houses destroyed is
placed at 70, and the insurance at
about $135, 600 The total loss is esti-
mated at $3.50, 900. No casualties are
reported.

BROWNS AFTER RESCUE.
ST. Louis Youth Puts Victim on Boat

St Louis, July 22.--After being

British Labor to Pension.

Old age pensions from one of the
British labor organizations to its
needy members have just been inaug,
urated, to a chorus Of comment from
all over England. For years the age
pension plan has been under discus
sion by the government, but no minis
ter has had the hardihood to present
definite scheme. The Nottingham
shire miners organization, which is
making the venture, has a member
ship Of $4,000 and 100000 in its treas

the Nottinghamshire experiment is
proven a success it is certain that agi.
tation will become so strong the prop
osition must be taken up by one OF
the great parties.

The Soils Outpoot.

The farm products of the country
this year are valued at 81, 600, 600, 600.
But the soils greatest and most yalu-
able output consists of its minerals.
The geological survey reports that
the mineral output Of this country
increased from 1864, 600, 600 in 1880 to
Sl,623, 900, 600 in 1905. In eighteen
years preceding 1898 the mineral pro
duction OF the United States more
than doubled. In the last seven years
it more than doubled again. We have
passed Great Britain and all other
nations in iron and coal. The Trans
vaal is ahead in gold, but far behind
in gold and silver combined, Our gold
production grew from $50, 1000, 900 in
1896 TO $SS, 200, 600 in 1905. Copper
in the United States in 1896 yielded
$4,000, 600 and in 1905 its value wac
Sl39, 900, 600 In the same ten years
pig iron went up from 500, 900, 900 to
1892, 900, 900 and coal from S95, 600, 600
TO $475, 1000, 900.
Other striking figures in the official
mineral summary for 1905 are Sal, :
600, 900 natural gas; S84 900, 900 pc
1roleum, Sl49, 600, 600 clay products
$35, 600, 600 cement, 500, 900. 600 stone,
SO, 900, 900 lime and $4,000, 600 salt
In every working day of last year over
$5,000,00 worth Of minerals was pro
daced in this country.
1t is believed that no other nation
approaches our indurtrieS of this kind,
and that none could equal them unless
China opened its vast domain. But
China has been a sealed country in
this as in many other respects, and SO
far has lacked the organizing and in
ventive faculties in developing the
eartn S mineral treasures. Ole Of the
reasons given for freight congestion on
the American railroads is the immense
growth of mineral industries, and the
fact points also to the abS0luSe neceS-
sity of waterway improvement

HOW Is YOUR SCHOOL?

Your school Of course, is progressing,
but we fear with many it is only Il
matter "of course" You hear the
bell ring at nine in the morning, you
know your children are not on the
rampage at home turning things
topsy-turvy all the day but outside OF
this we fear your personal knowledge
is very lame. Now there should be
daily watchfulness and care on the
part of the parents. Inquiries should
be made of scholars, of their progress,
and an active interest taken in their
advancement. Occasional visits should
be made to the school room by every
parent. Communication SHOULD be
frequent With the teacher in regard to
the child. In every possible avenne
the parent should exhibit a real inter
est in the school, standing and progress
of the child The knowledge Of such
interest will put the child on bis
guard, and mcttle and spur him on to
greater exertion. The gist of the
matter is, if you would have your
schools what they ought to be and
what you desire they should be, you
should have no less interest than the
teacher or scholar, nor no more think
of losing this interest than they, from
the time the school opens in the fall
until it closes in the spring or summer.

Cotton and the Negro.

Our statesmen tell us in one breath
that the salvation of the South is in
the planting of less cotton and e t.
ting more for it and, in the very next
breath, they say that immigration
will save us. They invite the yankee
to come, and the German, and the
Irish, and the Scandinavian and even
the Italian.
If it be true that we are planting
enough cotton, even too much, and it
is true, wherein will the South be
benefited by having thousands of the
foreigners settle here to raise more
cotton? There is but one. answer
We don't need any more cotton plant
erS.
But it is contended that foreign
immigration will settle the race ques-
tion. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't.
The cotton patch negro hasn't given
us any trouble, nor will he, and he ism It
going to leave either He is satisfied,
his landlord is satisfied, and a German
or Scandinavian upon the scene will
mean two cotton patches instead Of
one, one for him and one for the negro.
True, there are many of our ambit-
Gus farmers who can't secure enough
laborers to make enough cotton to get
rich as fast as they would, but they II
get rich quick enough in using our
present available labor, thereby rails
ing less cotton, getting more for it,
and, at the same time, either resting
their lands or sowing it in small grain
And when these wealthy farmers plant
less cotton, they benefit evey poor
fellow, standing between the plow
handles, in the entire South.
And this one or two horse farmer is
the ideal citizen, anyway. The best
communities are those made up of
small farmers. The churches, schools
and social conditions in community.
in which one man owns all the land
and runs forty plowS, are not as good
as one with forty land owners. Ogle-
thorpe county would, no doubt, be a
better county today, if Jim Smith had
never been born, and this is not said
with the spirit Of criticising single
act of his life, either.
It's all right for immigrants to build
our cities, our railroads, our manu-
featuring enterprises or to labor in the
cities, on the railroads, in the factor
les or even take servants places, but
the South doesn't need any more cot
ton raisers. s.-Gwinnett (Ga.) Journal.

CHEERFULNESS.

Much depends upon cheerful start
for the day. The man who leaves
home with a Scowl on his brow, and a
snap at his children, and tart speech
to his wife instead of kiss, is not
likely to be pleasant company for
anybody during the day: he will prob
ably come home with the temper of a
porcupine. Wise plans should be laid
for every day, that it be not an idle
saunter, or an aimless hustling to and
fro. Yet to make good speed on the
right track we must not start over
loaded; not too many things to be
undertaken, lest they prove a baSty
botch-work. The journey is not made
in cushioned car but on foot and the
most CALLING is vexations and worrying
care. Steady walking ought not to
tire any healthy body or soul. 1t is
the overstrained rush whether in busi-
ness or study, that breaks people
down; especially the insane greed for
wealth, or the mad ambition, goading
brain and nerves to fury. The shat
tered nerves and sudden deaths in all
our large business centerS tell q sad
story. A good rule is to take short
views. Sufficient to the day is the
toll thereof; no man is strong enough
to bear today's load, with tomorrow S
load piled on top of it.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
All Right In Theory, but Breaks Down
In Practice.

=
In Practice.
Theoretically there is SO much in
municipal ownership of public utilities
that the practical carrying out Of It's
attractive features appears simple and
of no serious moment, and for mu-
nicipality to take over and run water,
lights, sewerage and even Transports
ton appeals to taxpayers, and the
trade is made without the first assur-
ance that the conduct of these proper
ties will be along practical and busi-
ness lines.
1t is the failure to assure the prac-
tical that works the evil, for municipal
ownership is general ownership, and
general ownership results too easily
in its being no special business OF any
citizen or taxpayer to look into or in
quire after the conduct of the proper
ties under control This leaves the
management to a few, who soon find
that they have only themselves to ac-
count to, that people are too busy to
demand accountings and taxpayers
accept any kind of report, just
SO there is the appearance of all being
right and light, water. sewerage, etc.,
are given
1t is this Indifference and neglect on
the part OF taxpayers to take note OF
municipal affairs which make munic7
ipal ownership of public utilities q
hazardous ant; expensive matter. The
theory of municipal ownership, with
its great saving to each taxpayer, the
extra service given and the great prof
its resulting can all be placed in hg-
ures beforehand, but it Is a failure un-
less the taxpayers shall give earnest
and serious heed to the conduct. of
these public utilities, for unless this is
done they will wake up some day-AYlth

A DAY OF RECKONING.
You Cannot Fool All of the People All
of the Time.


The recent condemnation as unfit for
further service of a number Of gas and
electric light plants and the closing
down of some of them at a dead loss
to the taxpayers should serve as
warning to other cities, for this is the
fate that is likely to Overtake all such
plants in the long run. For the first
year or two, when no expensive re-
pairs are needed and the plant is thor
oughly up to date, it ought not to be
difficult to make good showing. For
a few years longer the bad bookkeep-
ing and inadequate reports, that are
unfortunately the rule rather than the
exception, may blind the citizens to
the deterioration Of the plant and to
it's increasing losses. But the day OF
reckoning inevitably comes when
breakdown, bad service or demand for
new equipment that cannot masquer-
ade as extensions" causes an inyesti-
CATION, and then 1t becomes evident
that the plant has been losing prop
osition almost from the start. No plant
should be accepted as evidence Of sue
cessful municipal management until 1t
has been operated for several yeatr
and then examined by expert engineers
and accountants.
