GOLDFIELD, April 15.-For a
short space of time last evening
Goldfield seemed doomed to destruc.
tion as fire in the heart of the
business section burned with such
headway that it appeared impossible
to extinguish it.
The fire started from an unknown
source in the back room of Welch
and Tunes photograph store and in
an instant the entire room was a
mass of flames. The alarm was
sounded and the paid and volunteers
set towork in heroic manner to
conquer the confiagration which by
that time had spread to the adjoin-
ing buildings. Line after line of
hose was strung and inside of thirty
minutes the fire was confined to four
buildings which were completely gut

These buildings were the Welch

The news of the fire In Goldfleld
was given to the public of Tonopah
by the Bonanza and Immediately the
volunteer fire department made prep
arations to go to the aid of our sis
ter town. Acting Chief Ambrose
Murphy ordered the three hose carts
to be held In readiness to take the
special train. The carts were to
carry 1900 feet of hose. Picked men
from the volunteers were also in
readiness to accompany the appar-
atus Had our sister city so desired
the entire population would have an
swered the call of distress, for the
brotherly love existing between the
towns of southern Nevada is such
that a call for aid is always respond
ed to.
The volunteers also remembered
the time Tonopah was visited by the
serious fire last May, when the Cold
field apparatus was loaded on spec
ial train, but before they could start
received word that the flames were
under control.

WESTERN CARADA'S SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1903.
AMERICANS PRoFITED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK SATISFAc-
TORY REPORTS.

The census branch OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada,
has completed its returns of the show
ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield of about 107 900, 600
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$S5,000,000; in addition to this the oat,
barley and fax crops were worth an
other S35,000,0O0. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these,
that of Rev. Oscar L. King has been
selected. He lives in the vicinity of
Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest to those who con-
template moving to Central Canada.
Every line of the letter is interesting
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
"Mr. NJ. V. McInnnes, Detroit, Mich
igan: 1 am well satisfied with AL
opportunities for anyone to make
good home for himself and family
if he is willing to put up with few
hard knocks for the first two or three
years. But it is worth a few hard
knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich,
productive land with no mortgage on
it. This province is well fitted for
grains, stock raising and dairying. We
have found the climate generally
healthful, more healthfu1 than Mich
igan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
zero in winter, yet we do not seem to
feel that temperature any more than
we did or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.
1.-The Government takes great inter
est in the education of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establish
ing schools where they are called for.
The schools, though graded differently
than those in the States, are efficient
and advancing. Our great drawback
has been the limited and inadequate
railway facilities, but new roads are
being rapidly built and many more
are projected through various parts
Of the province. The new policy of
the Alberta government to construct
a great many branch lines throughout
the province will greatly help all parts
Of the country. If those new settlers
who have to go back a considerable
distance from existing railroads and
towns to find free homesteads will
but locate along the line of a project
ed railroad they will in two or three
years be near both town and railroad.
When I first came to this country
three and half years ago the home
stead took was rs miles from a rail-
road town; now there is a railroad %
miles north, another 25 miles south,
and third is being built through my
neighborhood.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

every way to persuade her mother to
buy them for her and let her wear
them to a children's party that was to

success. Finally when both she and

mamma, you needn't get them now;
but maybe I'll be dead by Sunday and
If am you'll be sorry for disappoint-
