SawmiIls, and Ties Up Railroads.

iginating from an unknown cause in
the yards of the Rock Island Lumber
company at 7:30 last evening, de-
stroyed 2O,000,O00 feet Of rough lum-
ber, burned two sawmills with a loss Of
nearly $1,000,0O0. and tied up the main
line of the Rock Island road, the
southwest line Of the st. Paul road,
and the ST Louis-St. Paul line of the
Burlington. An area Of ten acres was
laid waste in two hours.
The flames started in the southeast
corner of the lumber district and, driv-
en- by south gale, swept everything
to the Mississippi river, three blocks
away. Had the wind been from the
north the whole east end Of the city
would have been doomed.
The Moline and Davenport fire de-
partments came to the aid Of the Rock
Island department but the combined
force was powerless. The Burlington
and Milwaukee tracks running thru the
burned area were rendered useless and
number of cars destroyed. The Rock
Island tracks at the east likewise were
put out of commission. The ties were
burned off the south bridge across the
Mississippi, the wind driving the flames
the full length of it. The telegraph
service Of the three railroad companies
was Frustrated.

That the new state certificate law
has done much for the state of Iowa
was pointed out by State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction John T..
Riggs.
1t has resulted. he said, in increas-
ing the aggregate wages for Iowa
school teachers for the year ending
July 1. 1907, in the sum of $685. 50.
1t has increased the aggregate wages
for the two years ending last July
$7S0,316.S5.
This new state law is the one which
abolished the custom of county super
intendents granting second and third
grade certificates Now the teachers
are given examinations in the various
counties by the superintendent from
questions furnished from the office of
the state superintendent. The papers
are then examined by board of ex-
aminers appointed by the state super
intendent and certificates issued from
the state department.
Superintendent Riggs urges that
this raising the standard of efficiency
among teachers has had the effect to
raise the aggregate salary of teachers.
He reports that now county districts
that formerly paid but $50 per month
for teachers are paying $50 and even
more, with prospects for other in
creaSeS.

the people of the state must speedily
take steps to protect themselves, was
agreed by the health officers of the

chief objects of investigation by the
next legislature.

A law looking toward the eradication
Of bovine tuberculosis in Iowa.
A law providing sanitary municipal
abattoirs. operated under the supervi-
sion of state authorities.
More stringent rules governing the
granting of milk and dairy licenses in
the cities and towns.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the medical men hold to the opin-
ion that many Of the diseases with
which mankind are afflicted are trans
mitted thru cattle and thru the milk
and other dairy supplies This idea
was strongly adhered to at the general
conference yesterday and was one Of
the chief objects Of discussion.
Dr. G. A. Johnson, inspector in the
bureau of animal industry, gave an ad-
dress on the inspection of meats and
construction of slaughter houses, and it
was agreed by the association that
municipal slaughter houses would be
the most practical solution Of the prob

THE situation between Bulgaria and
Turkey is regarded here today as
