Coal Creek Burned to Ground.

Florence. Colo.-In the most disas
trous conflagration in the history of
Fremont county, Coal Creek, flour
lshlng village three miles south of
here, which owes its existence to the
ccal mines of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company located there, has been
practically wiped out by fire. A CON
servative estimate of the loss is from
100000 to S25O.OOO. No lives were
lost. and no one was injured. al
though the entire poulation of the
town. summoned from the mines by
the catastrophe. united in fighting the
flames
All the town reaching from the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad to the
schoolhouse, a quarter of mile south
and half mile wide. is heap of
smoking embers. Three hundred fam!-
lies lost their all, and are homeless.
Relief in the way of food and cloth
ing has been sent from Florence, and
as the nights are warm the homeless
ones will not be forced to endure
much hardship.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron colony
houses are located on a hill above the
town, and escaped destruction. Their
negro tenants performed yeoman serv-
ice in aiding the white families in the
attempt to save their homes. and two
colored women, Maria Black and SUI
sannah Jones. were overcome to the
point of exhaustion and had to be car
ried away to place of safety.
Dynamite was used toward the last
in blowing up houses in the path of
the flames. and the schoolhouse WAS
saved. standing alone on smoke
blacl:ened plain.

Spartan law of exposing weakly chill
iren, but. says Judge e. r. Stevens in
che Outlook, we ought to protect our
selves by preventing improper mar
riages and by putting an end to such
improper marriages as become
menace to society. The success of the
Jews as a race is largely due to their
regulation of marriage. Some of the
higher class in Brazil, by self-imposed
rule, require the proposed spouse to
present the certificate of a physician
that he is not afflicted with certain
diseases. Recently women's congress
at Paris voted to require such certifi-
Gates as protection to their daugh-
tiers. In America we need more of
the English idea that marriage is n
life settlement, in which parents and
guardians should play larger part.

fewer homes in which such scenes are

Campaign of Publicity Inausurate5
That Will Boost the State.

Denver.-Colorado's great campaign
of publicity inaugurated by the Colo
RADIO State Commercial Association
will be given a decided impetus in the
coming summer and fall months by the
sending out of big exhibit of the
products of the Centennial state to all
the larger state and county fairs of
.he Middle West. This will be done
.inder the auspices of the State Com
nercial Association. Walter G. Bran
,.cnburg. the well-known lecturer on all
Iaings Coloradan, will have charge of
the exhibit.
In this movement to advertise Colo
RADIO and put her advantages before
the people of states less favored natur-
ally than Colorado. the State CONNER
cial Association is but following out
the plan inaugurated several years ago,
and which has been SO eminenuy sue
cessful since that time. The only diff
ference in the plans this year will be
IN the size of the exhibit sent out and
the number of fairs at which it will be
shown.
Agriculturists and horticulturists all
over the state, both in the irrigation
and dry farming belts, have been, or
are to be, given an opportunity to place
ramples of their products in the eX-
bibit. All have been called upon for
assistance in gathering this great dis
play for Colorado and much interest is
being taken in the movement.
Mr.. Brandenburg, who has devoted
many years of his life to studying the
conditions, the crops and the products
of Colorado is at present making a
tour of the state. personally calling
upon those interested that he may Sc
cure as excellent a showing of prod
ucts from each district as possible.
Hays. grasses. grains. fruits and
roots will be well represented in their
great varieties. Alfalfa and ordinary
1atural grasses will be gathered from
districts where land is under irrisa-
lion and where dry farming is carried
on alike.
Fruits of all kinds, sugar beets. bar
ley, wheat, field peas and all sorts of
grains and roots will be shown in all
their varieties and perfection to the
people of the Middle West.
This plan of interesting homeseek-
ers in a state by sending out samples
of the product of that state has been
found by experience to be one of the
best methods of giving publicity to the
CLANS of the state. In past years the
settlement of many homeseekers in the
Centennial state can be traced directly
to the impression given b. the showing
of the exhibit of the Colorado State
Commercial Association and the at
tending lectures at some fair. The dis
play of products naturally arouses in
terest in the mind of the spectator,
especially if he has any desire to go
homeseeking.

utmost importance in regulating the flow
OF streams. Again, forests, by checking
the velocity OF the wind and covering the
mineral soil with thick layer OF dead
leaves and other forest litter, effectively
prevent soil transportation by both wind
and water. On high elevations, where
streams generally have their birth, the
influence Of the forest in this respect is OF
the utmost Importance.
So great is this influence that it exerts q
marked effect upon topography. In
mountainous regions particularly, the re-
pested destruction OF forests permits the
soil formed by the decomposition OF the
rocks at the sources of streams to be trans
ported to lower elevations, with q conse-
ouent slow change in the details OF the
landscape. Such regions, il interested,
are apt to have precipitous slopes and
scanty soil on the higher elevations.
In that case there is inadequate mediun
to absorb the rain, and it flows over the
surface. On the other hand, II such
regions are well wooded, the slopes are less
precipitous, and considerable depth OF
soil usually covers the broad submits.
As result, the rain water is absorbed, the
surface flow is reduced to minimum, and
q steady supply Of water is furnished to
the streams.
Ten years ago Professor Shaler estimated
that in the upland regions Of the states
south of Pennsylvania three thousand
