IT. Worth. Texas, was visited
by a disastrous fire a few DAYS
ago, the loss OF property aggrega-
ting between three 'and five mil
lions. The loss OF human lite was
at least six persons. The FIRE de-
partments OF Dallas and other
nearby towns were on the scene in
a little while after the coniagration
started. but the wind was high and
to extinguish the flames was impos-
sible until great damage was done.
The Texas * Pacific lost 81. 900, 900
in coal, cars and equipment, the
total lost in the CITY being $4,000,
900. There was a s25o,ooo fire
followed this in Dallas, and small
er mes in other towns Of the state.
This aggregate OF losses by nre
takes a prominent position in com.
parison to the net gain OF the mer.
contile business in ten of the larg-
est cities OF the state in "a months.
There is some argument in favor
OF insurance against loss by fire
in these figures. A business that
is not worth insuring is hardly
worth maintaining. The News is
not getting paid for this paragraph
either. But we have in mind the
vivid recollection OF a friend who
lost all he had earned for ten years
in ten minutes, the loss totaling
nearly ten thousand dollars, and
all because he had neglected to Ill
out insurance papers that were al
already in the house two or three
days before the disaster. The
same is true in a greater degree
with the man who has no lite in
surance and little property to leave
his wife and children. The most
sorrowful thing Witnessed in this
life is the death OF the bread win.

who has just returned from the Far West.
The outlook Sor business for the railroads in
the Far West is excellent said Judge Prouty
The way the railroads extending their lines
in that part Of the country IS evidence OF that
The Western Pacific IS just opening up its line to
San Francisco the Milwaukee is just completing its

rapidly through to Port Simpson on the Pacific,
and while l out there the Canadian Northern

Judge Prouty said he had not heard much de-
mand from shippers in the Pacific Coast country
for changes in the interstate commerce law. They
were anxious. he found. to have the commission
empowered to pass on a proposed increase of rates
before il goes into effect.
