COMPARED WITH PAST YEARS

Optimistic predictions of the building
department that the total valuation OF
all improvements in the city of Los
Angeles for the full month of June
would reach close to S2000,000, made
last week may fall short of the amount
by $4,000 or S5000 judging by the figures
tabulated Saturday by Chief Clerk
Mark Cohn. However. the total for the
twenty-four business days of June are
decidedly gratifying and~ipdicate that
there is no cessation in building actiV-
ity, except in the beginning of the erec-
tion of large business blocks; but as a.
large number of big structures in the
commercial center are now rising any
where from six to ten and twelve
stories there is no good cause to worry
along this line,
The tabulationg up to June "a gives
total OF 694 permits issued, authorizing
improvements valued at $l,307 $50 an
increase of 101 permits over the same
period last year, and valuation OF I'M

1909. Total valuation of buildings com
pleted for the full month of June, 1909,

BELGIAN v OR Id 5
FAIR IN ASHES
While 100000 People Are On
Grounds lnflamable Buildings
Catch loss $lOO,OOO,OOO

Brussels, Aug. IA. The
white city of the worlds fair as
the Belgians have called their
1910 exposition, is tonight a
mass of flames and smouldering
ruins.
A spark falling into inhama-
BILE material in the telegraph
building, burst up in flames
which, driven by a high wind,
swept rapidly in all directions.
Soon the Belgian. English and
French sections were destroyed.
The firemen and detachments
of soldiers called quickly to the
scene found themselves baffled
by the veritabie gale. which
carried the burning embers to
all parts of the grounds.
To the left of the main build
ing arose the picturesque roofs
and spires of "BrueXelles Ker-
mesz," a Belgian Coney Island,
with water chutes. tobogans,
slides, etc. This place was alive
with Sunday crowds and before
they could be got out with any
semblance of order, the Kermesz
was afre. The crowds became
panic-stricken and men, women
and children fought madly to es-
cape. The exits became checked
with the struggling Masses and
men used their fists to clear the
pathway. Many were trampled
under foot and badly injured.
100000 Persons on Ground
An engine corps from Ant
werp attempted to dynamite the
bridge of the French section, in
the hope of checking the fire,
but the flames leaped across and
engulfed the Italian, Russian,
Austrian, Japanese Chinese and
Norwegian buildings. Forty
houses on the Avenue Solbosch,
adjoining the exposition were
destroyed.
At the time of the outbreak
not less than 100000 persons
We're circulating in the ground
and the Kermesz. Troops were
ordered out and came at double
quick time to aid the police in
clearing the great grounds. This
was accomplished in fair order,
EXCEPT within the limits of the
Keremesz, where the vast
crowds became entangled in an
almost inextr;cable mass.
Soon the enormous facade
Crittenden record-press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1909-191?, 1910-08-18

tumbled in ruins. Considering
the rapidity of the conflagatlon
the small loss Of life is marvel
Gus. So far as is known. up to
late hour tonight, only two are
dead. The injured, as officially
announced. number thirty, but
probably many hundred re-
ceived minor hurts.
Animals Left To Fate
AS the flames reached the me-
nagerie, it was decided to shoot
the beasts, but the heat drove
back the soldiers and the ami
mails were left to their fate.
The multitude of people were
driven back to a safe distance
and watched the thrilling spec
tacle of the destruction of the
white city. Tongues of fire
mounted high into the heavens
and flaming embers were carried
off by the wind and fell upon
the residences beyond setting
them on fire.
The fire was finally got under
control, but the Belgian and
English sections are in ruins,
while all the other sections, in
Guiding the American, were
partly destroyed.
Bands of thieves engaged in
pillage and a soldier was stabbed
while attempting to arrest men
whom he found ritiing a jewelry
exhibit.
The aggregate loss is esti-
mated at S10C, COO, 600.
Belgium's white city stood
near the end of the Avenue
Louise, the fashionable park
drive, which on the west side of
Brussels leads out to the beauti-
full Bots de la Cambre. TIE
national building, that of tie
Belgium section, rose majestic
ally on a slight elevation facing
the main entrance. To the left
of the main building was the
Kermesz. A magnifice n t
quadrilateral of gardnens was
surrounded by the concession of
Germany, England, France, Hol-
land, Italy and Russia.

Since Vending has been
caught why is it that his capt
ors want to close his mouth to
the world and why try to elude
his lawyers by leaving the train
at Olnev. Ill.,, and go through to
Evansville in an auto? Why re-
fuse newspaper men a chance to
see him? And a great many
other why's. Is it because they
know the real perpetrator Of the
fearful crime has been in Louis
vile all the time and for fear OF
their incapaclty or unwilllngnesS
to try to bring to justice, on ac-
count of the sensation it would
create. the real culprit, they
want to saddle the crime on a

On our trip to st. Louis last

passing through fifty miles OF as
fine corn belt as we ever saw.
In fact the corn fields were the
largest. richest and most hatter-
ng fer a big yield we ever saw

or CrlttCnden. Our good friend

AT Vincennes we separated,
Nc Cornell going further into
Indiana while | took the first
vestibuled train over the Balti-
more and Ohio for St. Louis in
quest OF some money we we've
about to lose. This train
made but four stops in the
$50 miles making the distance
in little more than three hours.
We passed through the heart of
the great oil fields of Illinois
where the derricks are thick as
far as the eve could see on either
side of the track and for miles
and miles the large tanks simply
covered the earth. The wheat
crops looked poor for so rich a
wheat country. and strange to
Us the crop was all stacked, not
exceeding twenty straw piles in
evidence the entire way.
A very strange sight was the
vast number of fine orchards,
that were as barren as the fig
tree that was uSeed by the
blessed Saviour. Out of the
thousand and thousand of acres
of fruit trees we saw on the
round trip not a vestige of fruit
OF any kind.
On our return trip we were
routed over the l.. N n. to
Evansville over which route we
failed to see as rich country in
any product, corn being exceed
ingly poor, not one good field
did we see over this route.
Strange to us on this last route,
was several large fields of sun
flowers, but as we had no one to
tell us what they were raising
the product for we paid little a t.
tention to it.
In all the rich corn belt from
Henderson through Indiana and
Illionis on our trip going, it was
very weedy. But on our arrival
home in time to get the old
Record-Press to the people we
said, God bless old Kentucky and
especially Crittenden county. 1t
is the best country to day for a
diversity of crops in the world
and where her people, though
perhaps not rolling in wealth
are good livers, cheerful givers
and among the favored of God.
