Industry Of the Highlands.

Among the astonishing changes which
the whirligig OF time seems capable OF
bringing about. ii has been suggested by
more than one observer as just possible
that the Highlands OF Scotland may be-
come before long the manufacturing dis
trict of the country. Today the demand
Is for water power 10 generate electricity
the manufacturing force OF the future
and the home OF that water power is in
the highlands. Already the British Alu-
minimum Company has It's works at the
Falls Of Foyers. and great manufactur-
ing village Is on the point of completion
at kaiochleyen.

Gashouse Stokers for Navy.
A plan is under way to form a reserve
corps of stokers for the navy from the
firemen employed in gashouses. Adm raj
Dewey and Rear Admiral Evans have
expressed strong approval. Of the plan.
Gashouse firemen are declared to be the
best stokers in the world. They would
undoubtedly prove invaluable in war
time. when all of the ships Of the navy
might be placed In commission. The
need of competent men in the firerooms
is an urgent one and it is planned to
organize a corps of e,okers and coal
passers so that trained force may be
available. There are about 10000 gas
house firemen in the United States and
Admiral Evans says they would make a
valuable asset to the naval reserve. Sew

Interesting Naval Supplies.
Among the articles turned out last
week by the construction department at
the navy yard, New York, was a con-
signment of 900 base ball bats TO be
shipped to the Pacific coast for distribu-
ton among the ships which will start
in December for a trip along the western
coast Of Mexico and South America. The
yard shops make these bats at a cost Of
45 cents each, or 30 cents less than a
local contractor would furnish them for.
The naval supply bureau was caught
short of ''neckerchiefs' last week and a
hurry CALI for $4,000 caused the letting
of contracts for them TO outside con-

Childreh Brought Out Dead.

II was but few seconds before both
firemen returned to the street, Barker
with Clifford Hickman and Gates with
the little Armstrong child. They were
loudly cheered as they emerged through
the clouds of smoke. those on the outside
feeling that the lives of the children had
been saved But both children were dead
when the firemen got them from the
house. Returning to the house. Barker
found Clara Hickman. the oldest of the
three children. She had been on the bed
with her younger sister, the children hay
ing buried their faces in pillows to escape
being suffocated by the smoke.
Clara Hickman was still alive said
Sergt. DUNCAN. when she reached the
street.
The two dead bodies had been hurried to
the hospital the police thinking there
might have been n spark OF life lett III
them. When Clara Hickman was brought
out the patrol wagon had gone to the hos
ptal, and Sergt. DUNCAN stopped a gro
Gerry wagon and pressed it into service.
While the driver urged his horse toward
the hospital the police sergeant resorted
TO means of artificial respiration, but the
child died In his arms before the hospital
was reached.
Valuable Time Lost.
F'ireme.4 and policemen said they had
witnessed many fires but seldom had they
seen one where it was so utterly impossi-
bile to get inside the building because Of
the smoke and heat. when the fire was
practically confined to the cellar. 1t was
some little time after the firemen and
policemen reached the burning structure
before they were Informed that there were
children in the house. Tie two women
who were rescued from the upper floor
were so overcome by the smoke and so
thoroughly frightened that they were I'M
able TO make the rescuers understand
that the children were on the second floor
Mary Harris explained that the little
girl, MAYA Armstrong, two years of age.
had been in her apartment shortly before
the fire started. She cried to be taken to
her room and put In her crib, but did not
remain there very long.
Tot Tried to Escape.
The last she saw of the child. she said,
was when she was seated at the window
playing with doll. 1t is thought that
the two-year-old child had made an effort
to leave the room after the fire started.
tie fireman having found her near the
door leading into the hall.
The Armstrong and Hickman families
occupied the lower portion of the house.
Mary Harris and Florence Young occupy
ing only the third floor. The two occu-
pants of the third floor soon recovered
from the effects Of the smoke, although
they were exceedingly nervous last night.
Coroner hewitt saw the bodies at the hos
pital late yesterday afternoon. He heard
statements about the affair. and decided
that the deaths OF the children had re-
suited from accidental suffocation. Ger
tificates were given accordingly. and the
remains were turned over to an under
taker to be prepared for burial.

today, the locals taking both games Of tn 2
double-hesder, 5 to 0 and 9 to o, and going
into first place in the race for the flag.
Both teams fieided brilliantly. The Omaha

a worse drubblng by spectacular stops,
throws and catches. Furchner was the
hoodoo and pitched two wonderful games
The largest crow ever attending a game
in Sioux City was present. 500 paid ad-
missions entering the turnstlles. Ground
rules were necessary with a hit in the
crowd.

him. Raglan was sent TO the slab in the
eighth. The home team would not let mp
and went to Raglan tiercely. Granville got
a base on balls and Andreas sacrificed.
WEIGH doubled TO center and Granville
scored. Shea then hit out a two-bagger
to left and WEIGH scored the fifth and last
run Of the game.

the locals. Furchner was SO reliable Holmes
sent him to the slab again. HoIlenbeck
took the mound for the Rourke men.
Campbell, the first man up for the Sioux,
doubled over third. Holmes sacrificed.
Green hunted safely. Campbell scoring.
Green went to second on a passed ball.

In the second inning and was slammed for
three more runs Furchner singled and
Holmes and Green wore passed. Then
Weeds single. a passed ball and Granvills's
sacrifice fly scored three runs and cinched
the game. Three more runs came in after
this, Halls twirling being Of the yellow
kind.
The game was called at the end OF the
