NEW SCOUT CRUISEF,
SURPRISES BUILDERS
to San Francisco Without coaing
En- Route.

Portland, Me-, March The scout
cruiser Chester on her twenty.foul
hours endurance and coal consump
tion run maintained an aver
age speed of % 1-2 knots, steamins
2.75 knots per ton of coal consumed
as against 1.S0 knots named in her
contract. From the showing made on
this run 1t Is computed that the cruis.
er has a steaming radius of 1000 miles
at an average speed of % knots and
$4,000 miles at II knots, or half sped
without coaling. This would enable
her, 1t is asserted, to make the trip to
the Pacific ocean, without coaling en-
route, at the rate of two knots in ex
cess of the average speed maintained
by Admiral Evans battleship fleet.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March s..
Grand Rapids today narrowly escaped
being the scene of repetition of the
Cleveland tragedy of yesterday on ev
en- larger scale. Fire broke out In
the labratory of the Central High
School while 1900 pupils were at tleil
studies. The fire signal was given and
the pupils marched out in perfect or
der. The building was emptied in hall
a minute. The school is overcrowded
and the stairways inadequate but the
fire drill proved effective. The fire did
comparatively little damage.
Photographer Prevented Panic.
That there was no panic was prob
ably due to the fact that a profession
al photographer had been taking fash
light pictures in the corridor of the
high school building few minutes
before the fire broke out and the chill
|dren had been warned not to be alarm
ed. When the fremen came and the
fire drill began they thought It was
another picture and all marched out
quietly.

February Record Breaking Month al
Santa Fe Land Office.

Santa Fe Land Office.
Three hundred and eighty-two orig
inal homestead entries were filed dur
ing the month of February just past in
the district embraced by the local U.
S. land Office. This is the largest mum.
Der of homestead entries made during
any one month in the history Of the
Santa Fe land office and exclusive Of
Sundays, represents an average Of a
fraction over Is per day The total
area involved is about $1,000 acres.
January Of this year held the .previ.
GUS record but the chances are that
even the February record will be com.
pletely smashed by the month of
March. A large number Of homestead
entries have been filed already this
month and 1t Is expected the total
number will be close to the 400 mark.
Guadalupe, Santa Fe and Torrance
counties are vieing with one another
in reaching out for immigration and
during the two months that have elaps.
ed this year thousands Of acres Of the
public domain within their borders
have been settled.
During February 139 of the home.
stead entries were made In Guadalupe
county: 102 in Torrance county, and
6S in Santa Fe county The homestead
entries during the month In the other
counties Of the district were as fol-
lows: Mora county, 81; San Miguel
county, 10; San Juan county, 10; Val
encia county, Z; Bernalillo county, Q;
Sandoval county, 2; Colfax county, /;
Mckinley county, /.
New Land District Will Not Interfere
With Local Office.
The proposed creation Of new land
district In the eastern part of New
Mexico will not interfere with the ter
ritory comprised within the Santa Fe
district. The Tucumcari district If
created, will take in all Of Quay, part
OF Guadalupe, San Miguel and Union
counties which are now included in
the Clayton district. Three tiers of
counties in the northern part Of Roose-
welt county which have formerly been
connected with the Clayton district
will be cut off and annexed to the Ros.
well district.
Over 700 homestead entries have
been filed in the Santa Fe district
since the first of January, and 1t is
roughly estimated that the total num-
ber Of entries In the four land Offices
during the two months was about g.
900. AS most Of the homestead set.
tiers have immigrated here from
nelghboring states and as general
rule are heads Of families who accom-.
pany them, this indicates a growth in
population so far this year of upwards
of 5000 people.

that practically none will ever be dis

Rigid investigation Begun.
Coroner Burke today began thor
ough investigation He is assisted by
various Colinwood officials. SO far
they have arrived at no definite con
clusion as to the cause of the fire or
where to place the blame. 1t is gener.
ally admitted that the building was of
approved fire proof construction and
the calamity could not have been
averted from that standpoint. It Is al.
so believed the fire did not start from
the furnace but from the latest facts
at hand it is believed the fire started
under the stairway leading to the base
ment, although Janitor Herter main.
tains that there was no waste or rub.

Life Of Jantor Attempted.
The officials are trying to ascertain
the names of the three girls who are
reported today to have been in the
basement and who the janitor claims
first notified him of the fire. Much de.

girls are able to tell. While the janitor

Land Must Show Results,

Pendleton-Three matters of i'm
portance to present and future land
owners under the Umatilla project
were decided upon as result of the
visit here last week of James A. Gar
field, secretary of the interior. They
are:
First-There will be no more land
thrown open to entry and no more
land put under water until the 1000
acres now under water and included
In the "Hermiston unit" are reduced
to an actual proflt-producing state.
or to that state where there Is no
longer any question of the success
and profitableness of the undertake
ing.
Second-The first acre charge for
construction will come due one year
from next December, instead of next
March, with six or IL months OF
grace, giving the landowners and
water-users two seasons of irrigation
before calling upon them to return
one-tenth of the cost per acre of con-
structing the work But the main
tenance fee of 81 per acre must be
paid in advance or there will be no
water.
Third-That no person can live
in Pendleton and own land in the
Hermiston project, at least that he
cannot get any water for the land.
