FIRE DESTROYS BUILDING
Flames Eat Up Residence of Raymond
c. Naylor on Tenth
East,

Fire yesterday afternoon, shortly after
4 o'clock, caused the complete destruc-
ton of the home of Raymond c. Naylor,
South Tenth East street
The origin of the fire is supposed TO
have been in an overheated stove. Mrs.
Naylor had built the fire. and then left
the home for a short while When she
returned. she noticed smoke emerging
from the kitchen, and her hurried open
ing of the door simply famed the blaze
In almost an instant the rear of the
house was sheathed In flames, and by
the time she had turned in the alarm
the house was practically destroyed. Com
pany No responded to the alarm.
The value of the building, which was
frame structure, was estimated at 81
600. and the contents at $1,000. Some lit
tie insurance was carried.
Fire in the basement of the boarding
house conducted by Miss Rian at las
North Main street called out the depart
ment yesterday forenoon. The cause of
the blaze was the contact of an over
heated steam pipe with the lath and plas-
ter partition, but the prompt arrival of
Assistant Chief Fitzgerald and a chem
ical prevented any serious damage.

MINES FAIL TO PAY THE TAX
Nevada District Attorneys Ordered to
Begin Suit-Lotteries to Be
Stopped at Once.

Carson City, New, Oct. I7.-Governor D.
S. Dickerson this afternoon ordered At
torney General Richard K. StoddaTd 10
notify the district attorneys of the vari-
Gus counties to begin proceedings at once
against every dividend-paying mine in the
state which has not paid its bullion tax.
1t is probable that many Of the mines
that have filed sworn statements showing
they are operating at a loss and yet have
been paying dividends will be indicted for
perjury in classifying their reports. These
prosecutions will follow the lines suggest
ed by State Bullion Tax Collector Haley
which shows that while the output OF tho
states mines is a million a month. only
$4,000 has been paid in for taxes in the
last six months. A feature of the report
is that many lotteries have been operated
openly in the state in violation Of both
federal and state laws.
The lotteries must stop at once" said
Governor Dickerson. LAS for the mine
owners, their cases may take little more
time"
The report also showed that the rev
enue of the state from gambling was in
excess of $4,000 a year. The 81 games
pay s75 a month each.

TEXAS OIL OPERATOR PROMISES TO
FIGHT STANDARD OIL co. In UTAH

The grip of the Standard Oil COM
pany on the oil trade of Utah, which
has been absolute and uncontested for
years Fast, IS soon to be fought by an
independent Texas oil concern which
has been secretly making arrange
ments for ten days past to come into
Utah and battle with the octopus.
Fisher G. Jones of San Angelo, Tex,
one Of the officials of the Texas COM
pany, is the representative who has
been interviewing the merchants and
railroad officials here in regard to en-
tering the field in competition with the
Standard Oil company. He has re-
ceived all kinds of encouragement and
promises of support here, he states.
and it is his prediction that the big
trust will no longer have the monopoly
Of Utah's oil trade.
Mr.. Jones told the plans of the
Texas oil capitalists to fight the
Standard Oil trust in an interview
with a Herald reporter last evening.
He said:
''I have been here in Salt Lake for
the past ten days in the interest of
big Texas oil company. which does an
extensive oil business in several states
in the southwest. We have been
planning to enter Utah and fight the
Standard Oil trust for share of the
oil trade here, and I have been look
ing the ground and prospects over.
1T have been treated with the utmost
courtesy and given the greatest en-
coura cement everywhere. Merchants,
not alone in Salt Lake, but in Utah's
other cities and towns, want us TO get
in the field here. They want competi-
tor
'The Standard Oil trust now holds
sway in Utah. 1t may
charge whatever price bests suits the
trust magnates and furnish whatever
quality of oil it wishes.
Il am convinced, from my inquiries
and examinations, that Utah is ripe
for competition in the oil business :
believe that an independent oil CON-
pany, entirely free from trust control,
could do a tremendous business. 1t Is
practically all decided that we shall
come into Utah.
Just now I do not desire to give out
the name of the company, its officials,
hackers, or any information in regard
to it. That would only benefit the
standard people. who might want to
Ihwart us in our plans All 1nforma-
ton will be given out to the public n
due time.
"I have made arrangements with
wholesale oil dealers to take our oil,
and I have made arrangements for
tank freight cars to snip it here. !
have made arrangements with the Rio
Erande and other railroads to lease
sites near their tracks in Utah's prin-
eipal canters of population so that we
can put up stations there,
I'VE have refineries in Texas and |
California and will have stations all |
over Utah. Once we get firm foot /

the city of Alpena tonight the fires were
so threatening that Mayor Mcknight

Old Couple Perish.
An old couple named Pachinski were
burned TO death in their home near Posen.
Their charred bodies were found in the
ruins of their home today.
1t is now estimated that twenty-six per-
sons lost their lives in the destruction of
the Inflated Metz relief train. 1t is doubt
full, however, if the names of all will ever
be known
With the certainty that a sudden drop
in the temperature would bring untold
distress upon the half-clothed victims
huddled in temporary shelter in the open
fields, every effort is being made TO
organize a comprehensive system of relief
measures
So many farm houses were burned In
Alpena, Pressure Isle and MOntmorency
counties that it is impossible to gather
any satisfactory estimate OF the aggre-
gate loss.
An unconfirmed rumor from Sault Ste.
Marie says that the town of Gore Bay,
on Manitoulin island, was destroyed to-
day. Gore Bay is a town of LOCO people.
