The Nations Fire Losses,

The fire loss in this country ami
Canada for the first four months OF
the year aggregate $S6436.3 300 as
compared with $GS,621.S5O in 1905.
The San Francisco disaster in April
last year spoils the value of the 1906
figures for purposes of comparison .
but the increase in the losses the first
three months this year compared with
the same months last year was about
SlO,OOO,000. These losses represent
waste, property wiped out of eXis--
ence. The resources of the country
are reduced, its energies handicapped
by this destruction. This loss has beel
going on year after year, varying IN
different seasons, but each year noun
ing high into the millions Of dollars IL
value. How long can or will we STAN
this drain? The only remedy is in the
use of building materials that will not
burn. Even this would not entirely
eliminate losses. for the buildings may
be full of combustible materials, sub
ject to accident but a more general
adoption of tire-prOf construction would
prevent whole districts being fire
swept
With the advance in the prices oe
lumber, the difference in cost betwean
tire-prOof and fire trap construction is
not so great and this will have a tel
denCy to make us safer from the
flames, but there is still too little a.
tention paid to security of life and prop,
erty from fire.

Walter A. Powell, judge of the Gil
cult court at independence, Mo, has
just fined the Peoples Ice Storage AMI
Fuel company, $4,000, ordered that it,
charter be forfeited and that the con-
Germ be ousted from the state on the
ground that it is a trust. Two other
ice companies were heavily fined 01
the same ground. All three companies
were enjoined from doing further bust
ness with one another. They have
been in a combine, as alleged to manip-
ulate the price of ice.
Judge Powell has established time
ly and valuable precedent. Of course
no one is worrying about the ice or the
price of ice just now during the pres
ent May blizzard, but it will not b.
long until we will be getting up a
blood sweat while paying tribute +
the ice combine which fix prices to suit
themselves.
Now is the time TO begin taking
steps preliminary to busting the
combine.

DROWNS IN MOLASSES CAN
Baby ot MT. and Mrs. Snead Meets Horri-
 ole Death Near Cabot

r Cabot, June I7.-The II-month- old baby of MT. and Mrs. Henry Snead, who live about five miles north of here, drowned yesterday in a ten-gallon lard can which contained five gallons of molasses.
 Ike snolasses was bought few days since and was put in the lard can and placed in the kitchen of the Snead home. Yesterday Mrs. Snead was preparing dinner and had her baby in the kitchen with her. She went to the we'll to draw a bucket of water, and before re- turning to the house stopped in the garden to gather some vegetables. When she returned to the house about ten minutes after she had left it she was mortified to see the feet of her baby sticking out of the molasses in the lard can. She hastily grabbed the child from the can, but the little one was dead.
 The baby could hardly toddle. It cTawled across the floor, pulled itself up by placing its hands on the edge of the can, and then top pied over into the molasses.

Crop Conditions in North Texas.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat;
 Our country is up against the hardest proposition in its history as farming country on account of so much rain. We have only been able to blow eight days on the black land since the 27th of April and the most of that time has been devoted to re-plauting, the last of which was last Friday and Saturday, the 7th and Sth of June, on which days we could see from our home forty planters rum ming, most of which were planting cotton, some planting corn. We have not chopped any cotton yet and a heavy rain last night will give us another rest. Our corn and hay crop is seriously damaged.
 Respectfully,
