UPPER FLOORS BURNED.

That this mornings fire was the most
disastrous Of the year for Salt Lake
City there can be no doubt. It was
to get any accurate infor-
nation as to the DANA &c done for the
reason that those who suffered losses
refused to make any statement what
ever or give an estimate of the dam
age done until the Insurance adjusters
have completed their work.
1t was 9:45 o'clock before the signal
was given to "cut Off the water and
the fire was officially declared out.
Tho greatest damage done by fire was
on the second and third floors of the
main building. The east and rear
rooms on the third floor and the eleva-
tor and elevator shaft We're reduced
to clnders. These roorns We're Quilted

they had promptly turned in an alarm
instead Of losing valuable time looking
for a policeman TO do what they should

easily gotten into the basement and

Water seeped through the third and
second floors and the ground floor into
the basement and did great damage.
All the floors are soaked and the
paintings in Hartwick's saloon and the
wall decorations are ruined while much
damage was done to the stock in the
basement and to papers In the stock
exchange and brokers' offices. In four
of the sleeping rooms on the third
floor the fire got In its work to the
extent of reducing the furniture to
ashes. The fire worked toward the
north and thus saved the front rooms
where people were sleeping. Had 1t
gone the other way there would have
been at least four or five fatalities, but
fortunately no one was hurt.

The Prescott Courier says: Prelim- mary work of harnessing the water falls of Fossil Creek, 50 miles east of here, will be started at once by tie Arizona Power company and prose- cuted with energy until electric power is ready for distribution to customers in the principal cities, towns and min- ing camps of the county, which will be, the management expects, in 1909.
 Officials of the company recently ar rived here from San Francisco. The undertaking is the largest of its kind in the United States and bears the dis. tinction of being the largest enter prise financed in New York in 1907 It involves an expenditure of 5000, OOOs in the installation of the generating machinery of the two plants and the building of transmission lines ane stations.

Rich Gold Strike Made Near Payson
 by Colcord Bros.

County Assessor R. E. Merritt, who has returned from a trip to the north- ern part of the county reports a gold strike in the vicinity of Payson which will probably prove to be one of the richest ever made in this section of the country. The strike was made on property belonging to Supervisor w. c. Colcord and his brother H. $. Col cord, in Round Valley about five miles southeast of Payson, the ore being en- countered in a tunnel on one of a group of three claims belonging to the Colcord brothers. A three and half foot ledge was struck, which carries high grade gold ore, Several assays were made, the lowest of which shows sos gold value and already fifteen tons of ore which average l,0O0$ a ton has been extracted from the tunnel. There were two and half feet o1 snow on the ground when MT. Merritt left, but it was not impeding the work to any great extent.
 The strike was made on a claim or which practically no work had been done, although for three years Mir. Colcord has worked surrounding claims. A ten stamp mill which wa' shipped into Payson by the Single Standard company, is being put into shape at the property of that company which is about three and one-hal miles from the Colcord property ant it's first run will be made on the or' taken from the latter property. Int Single Standard company, a Los An geles concern, has suspended operation and if work is not resumed by them MT. Colcord will enter into negotia tions for the mill.-Silver Belt.

Owing to the prevalence of smallpox in nearly all the towns along the rail- road east of Ash Fork, the county board of health this week, concluded that the safest plan for the town and county was to put on guards at King man and keep all hoboes and buns on the move. One case of smallpox in the town would cost the county far more than all the expense of proven tion.
 Miss Eva Cofer, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Cofer, was united in mar riage with Jesse c. Brite, of Tehach- api, California, at the home of the brides parents, at Blackberry, last Thursday, Rev. w. G. Blakely per forming the ceremony. The happy young couple will make their home in Tehachapi. Mrs. Brite is a native daughter of Mohave county and is one of the most popular young ladies in the Blackberry section.
 While there appears to be no inten' tion to complete the Arizona and Cali. fornia railroad from the Colorado riv' CT to Bengal this year, it is now quite probable that the Santa Fe will com. plete the bridge at Parker and secure it against the big rise of the river that is scheduled to take place next month Last week orders to stop work on the bridge were sent out from headquar ters, but owing to representations o1 those vitally interested in the project the directors of the Santa Fe were pre- vailed upon to rescind the order. Nov yardage will be graded out on the Cal ifornia side of the river and the bridge completed for traffic.

The Indian Dlll, Wnlcn recently passed the congress, carried an ap- propriation of 19,2OO$ for the support of one hundred pupils at the Truxton Canyon Indian school, salary of super intendent and general repairs. The same bill provides an appropriation of 43, ,OOO$ for Fort Mohave Indian school, where there are 200 pupils. This in- cludes repairs and Improvements amounting to 3,OOO$; repairs to water system, 3,OOOs; steam boiler, 2,0OO$; support of school and salary of super intendent, 35,OOOS. While the govern ment spends these large sums of money yearly for the education of the Indians so far as the casual observer can see there is no apparent benefit derived by the aborigine. He is the same Indian when educated that he would be if allowed to roam the desert wilds. In fact education deteriorates an Indian, unless he is taken away en- tirely from his tribal relation and made to live surrounded by all the conditions surrounding the average
 white man.
 J. M. Ross, popular lawyer of the Prescott bar, stopped over in King man Saturday last to invite the King man editors to the big feed at the
 Yavapai Club, Monday night, at which
 Fitz James Mccarthy was to be the
 guest of honor. Fitz-Mac is one of the
 best known newspaper characters of
 the Rocky mountain country and what
 he does not know about booms and
 booming is not worth knowing. He it was that gave to the world the first
 notice that Arizona had surpassed all
 other countries in the production of
 copper last year. At the banquet
 Monday last he told the Yavapaians
 what was necessary for them to do to
 boom their county and the towns there. of. Yavapai and all the other coun. ties of Arizona need such men as
 Fitz-Mac to put the people in the way
 of the proper advertising of the re- sources of their sections and we hope that he will be retained in Arizons , forevermore.

 That all starehy foods when not thor oughly cooked tend to cause indigestion
 That carrots and apples have a bene- ncial effect on gouty persons.
 That cereals and a fruit diet in gen eraI way tend to healthier alimentary tract with less engorgement of the DOT tai circulation.
 That eating between meals and exces- sive eating in general are the chief causes of indigestion.
 That coffee has a tendency to cause dyspepsia and other forms of indiges- ton.
 That fats and rich foods are harmful in all cases of skin disease.
 That red pepper has been known to act as an antldote to malaria
 That lemon juice is a preventive and helpful as cure for typhoid fever.
 That onions are helpful in the treat Inent of grip and pneumonia.
 That bakers bread made of white flour is the cause of no end of stomach troubles.
 That fresh meats and rich, nutritious foods, such as butter. olive oil, marrow, honey, fruit preserved in sugar and grapes are good for consumptives, who also may eat bountifully of fat bacon, fish, such as cells and salmon, and in acute stages finely minced raw meats are beneficial

as a day essentially American. from the very earliest times the harvest has had it's celebration. Our own particu- lar celebration is quite in keeping with the New England idea.
 In rhyme and fable Thanksgiving is closely allied with the sumptuous table, grooming beneath delicious viands of which the turkey and the pumpkin pie play a conspicuous part Instead or the proverbial table decoration of costly flowers, the overflowing bounty of rich fruits of the harvest is the bet ter choicei the purple and white of the palatable grape, the red of the apple and the yellow tints of the pear, all these repeat indoors the beauty of Mother Natures handiwork without
 But best of all is the company around the festal board. The college boy and his chum, the young Miss in her teens who is at home for the Thanksgi season, the proud father and doting mother how jealously the old time custom of the family reunion is guarded
 Spending in a strain of rational goodwill and cheerfulness. doing more to awaken the sympathies of every member of the party in behalf of his neighbor during the ensuing year than half the homilies that have ever been written by half the divines that ever lived"
 Truly, a beautiful celebration of the Thanksgiving Day.

As yet no fruit has been imported that quite takes the place of grapefruit, and although it is so frequently served when in season, it is one of the proven stand
 bys of which one never seems to tire. Many and delightful are the guises in which ones hostess offers this delecta- be dainty at luncheon and dinner but the acme of perfection seems reached when the fruit is served in the double glass arrangements. The outer glass is filled with crushed ice and the smaller cup is then filled with the skinned and chopped lobes of grapefruit, which has been chilled and saturated with sugar and marischino for hours. Around this cup on the ice are placed cherries. This is the simple mode of serving, but a deli
