it was learned that on the previous

remote part of the city the young
lady who writes the society news
was sent to bring in a report of it for
the paper She came into the office
an hour later with the following very
interesting account:
gu tie a number of people in this
night at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
Blank in Thirteenth street. Some went
in carriages and buggies, but ma
jority walked The alarm was sounded
about $50 and many who attended the
fire had just returned from church,
ed for the occasion.
Mr.. Blank was not at home, be ng
ont OF the city on business; hence the
affair will be quite surprise to him
when he returns. Mrs. Blank wore a
light percale kimono and had her hair
done ID kid curriers'.
The fremen responded readily and
worked heroically to subdue the seeth-
ing flames. Most of them were young

When the flames broke out through

things that he is afterward sorry for.
One day not long ago, when the

from the Blue Ridge mountains. it
seemed that everybody who came into
the little hostelry left the door open
and as there were quite a number of
folks coming in from the country on
that particular occasion the hotel man
got tired of jumping up and closing
the door
AT last there came in little dried
Iup, weazen-faced old fellow, who
seemed half frozen. He went up to
the desk to register, blowing his fin
gers to get them warm enough to
write his name and, like all the
others, he neglected to shut the door
This made the proprietor of the

WATER CHARGE RUMoRs FALSE.
Government Corrects Wrong Report
That Is Floating About

Washington, June 1.-THE farmers
in the west have been greatly alarmed
n the last few weeks by the persist
ent circulation of a report to the effect
that the administration was preparin g
to take a charge for water derived
from the national forests and used for
irrigation and other general purposes.
The report, it appears, has not the
slightest basis Of fact, and has been
ice.
People of the sections of the west
where irrigation has been an import
ant factor in development were natur-
ally much concerned n the rumOred
charge for water coming from the
National Forests. The interests of
people concerned, with forestry and
irriga ion are much the same, as the
steady flow of most of the irrigating
streams is absolutely dependent on
the preservat on Of the forest water
sheds.
In a letter to Edward T Taylor of
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, concern
ing the TumOred charge for water for
irrigation, Forester PinchOt says that
he does not believe that there ever
should be, or ever will be. a charge
for water for irrigation The errone-
Gus report was founded IN m srepre-
sensations regarding the charges
which electric power companies are
required to pay for use and occupancy
Of lands in the national forests for
reservoir sites, conduit rights of way,
and power stations. This charge is
solely for the use of the lands. based
on their value fer such purposes, and
is not in any sense a charge for
water. The appropriation and use of
water is regulated solely by the state
and the forest service has no juris-
diction in the matter
II the case of irrigation projects.
the forest service does not even
charge for the use of lands for reser-
VOirs and canals. Hundreds Of per-
mits have been issued by the forester
to occupy and use national forest
lands for irrigation reservoirs and
coHduits, and such permits are always
granted free.
