Mr.. Davis has been investigating
some of the few objections suggested
against the bill, and particularly
those wherein ii is claimed Federal
appropriations would lend to national
ownership of the e m p a e d
schools, and also that Inese %appropria.
tons would relieve the States from
the sense of responsibility. In answer
thereto he quotes from a letter written
by the Hon. +. f.. Brown, u. S. Com.
missioner of Education, as follows:
THE recent effect of the national
appropriations under that act u662)

States in which they are situated.
Ten years ago, the amount which
these institutions received from their
several States was $2,21S, 100, while
In 1906 this amount was 1881, SOP,
showing an increase of about 240 per
cent. In 1896 these institutions re.
ceived, the country over, 20 per cent
of their support from the National
government. Ten years later, in 1906,
owing 10 the increase of State appro.
priations, the grants from the nation.
al treasury covered only 1874 per cent
OF their total support"
These figures Mr.. Davis contends
are altogether encouraging as showing
that national appropriations has not
tended to relieve the States OF the
sense OF responsibility but have in fact

NEW MOHICiN BRANCH.
Amsterdam Sees Opening of n Fine
 New Store.

Tho Mohican company has opened q branch in Amsterdam. The new store was thrown open to tho public last Saturday, and never in the history of Amsterdam were so many people inside a store in one day.
 Throngs surrounded tho meat, groc- cries. butter. fruit and baked goods de- partments throughout the day. Tho high quality of the goods, and the low prices charged were a source of won der to the shoppers who were not aware that the Mollcan company has a. largo number of stores throughout tho country. and that It's policy of selling only for cash, means a material saving to tho consumer.
 IT Is matetr of record that tho , Mohican company has done more than any other concern to lower prices. This fact is duo to its tremendous trade and the enormous buying power which such large business commands. The elimination of free delivery sys- tenn. and tho practice of the company to base it's selling prices on q small, fixed margin of profit arc factors which exert much influence in attract ing trade.

SOME HISTORIC FIRES

IN THE MIDDLE WEST
About Four Billion Feet of Timber Was Burned in lS7t--
 Other Fires.

The terrible work of the flames which have burned over and destroyed hun dreds of thousands of acres of timber and property to the value of millions in tho lake states recalls to memory other great forest fires which haNc at tainod Historic Importance, says the Bulletin of Tho National Forest Ser vice,
 one of the earliest of these was tho great Miramchi fire of 1895, | began It's greatest destruction about o'clock in the afternoon of october [ of that year, at place about 60 miles above the town or Newcastle, on the Miraui chi river, in New Brunswick Before 10 o'clock at night 1t was 20 miles bc' low Newcastle In nine hours II had destroyed belt of forest SO miles long and 2J miles Nlde. over more than ., 800, coo acres almost every living thing was killed Even the fish were after ward found dead in heaps on the river banks. Five hundred and ninety build Ings were burned and a number or towns, including Newcastle, Chatham and Douglastown. were destroyed. One hundred and sixty persons perIshed and nearly O0O head of stock. The loss from the Miramichl fire Is estimated at $500 900. not including tho value ot the timber
 In tho majority of such forest fires as this the destruction of the timber is moro serious loss. hy far than that of the cattle and buildings, for it carries with it the impovershment of a whole region for tens or even hun drcds of years aftcrward The loss ot thc stumpagc value of the timber at the time of the year is but a small part of the damage to the neighbor- hod The wages that would have been earned In numbering, added to tho value of the produce that would have been purchased to supply the lumber camps and the taxes that would have been devoted to roads and other public inn proyements. furnish q much truer measure of how much, sooner or later, it costs a region when its forests arc | destroyed by fire.
 The Pcshtigo fire Of October. tS11, was still more severe than tho Miriam
 chi, It covered an area of more than 2,000 square miles in Wisconsin Gad involved loss in timber and other property of many millions Of dollars. Between l,200 and f,600 persons per ished, including nearly half tho popu- latlon of Peshtgo at that time town of 2.000 inhabitants, other fires of about the same time were most destructive in Michigan. A strip about 40 miles wide and iSo miles long, eN- tending across the central part of the state, from Lake Michigan to Lako 1 Hurn, was devastated. Tho estimated loss in timber was about 4,O00, 100000 foot, board measure. and in money over SlO.00O,0OO. Several hundred persons pershed
