THE OLD FEATHERED
BOY MUST VAMOOSE
Indian Cigar Signs Are Becoming a
Rarity Nowadays, Though They
Were Once Costly.

The older residents of the city can
remember when every cigar and to-
bacco store had its wooden Indian
out in front Some of them were In
dian maidens, but they were all doing
the same-holding aloft in one hand a
bundle of cigars or bunch of to-
hacco and in the other a tomahawk.
They all occupied the same positions,
one foot resting on stone and eyes
turned toward the skies. Every year
they would be given a coat of paint
Where are they now? No one
knows, except that they have gone
the way of all earthly things. Some
drunken roysterer would reel against
them and knock them to the side
walk, breaking off an arm or a nose.
1t would be glued back in its proper
place, only to be broken off again by
the next imbiber of nose paint, and
finally Pocahontas or Modoc would
be spit up into kindling wood
In years gone by the wooden In
dian was the recognized sign of the
cigar store, just the same as the
striped pole Is today the insignia of
the barber shop and the wooden clock
proclaims the fact that there is a
jeweler in the immediate neighbor-
hood. In olden times when man
started tobacco store one of his
first purchases was a wooden Indian,

PEORIA HAD
"A BAD BLAZE
Fire Caused Loss of 100000 or More
to Several Different
Firms.

PEORIA, H., Nov. 1O.-Firc start
ing from an unexplained cause, en-
tailed loss variously estimated from
$4,000 to $130,Ou0 and for time
threatened the destruction of an en-
tire block. For several hours the fire
men battled against the spreading
flames, and 1t was not until general
alarm had been sounded and every
piece of fire-hghting apparatus In the
city had been called to the scene,
that the flames were checked.
The fire started in the rear portion
of the first story Of the two-story
double building. With the front of the
south half of the building given over
to brokers' offices, the rear Is occupied
by the Mccoy & Co. wholesale groc-
ers, as warehouse. 1t was in this
part OF the building that the fire orig
mated The Mccoy people are the
heaviest losers. Their stock was
more complete than at any other
time of the year, November being a
month when wholesale grocers stock
up. The dry food stuff and other mer
chandise made great fuel for the fire
and when discovered, the flames had
a good Roadway. Officers Of the com
pany were unable to say this morning
Just how much their warehouse stock
was worth. but it probably will go to
100000. The property is insured.
Other firms who lost Were:
Nixon Printing Co., occupants OF en-
tire second floor of the south half OF
the building. Loss $4,000, covered by
insurance.
Jones Bros, merchandise brokers,
loss $1,000, insured.
Boyd & Ryan, plumbers, occupants
of the basement of the building. Loss
$4,000 Insured.

To fight the forest fires OF 1910 cost
not less than $1,5o0,ooo, and probably
more. American Forestry also figures
loss Of 100000 to Industry in
wages that would have been spent on
the timber destroyed, since the pro.
duction of every 1000 feet OF lumber
represents $40 in wages This loss is
said to apply even If an equivalent
amount is spent for labor in salvage
or in converting other forests into
manufactured products; for in the
long run the reduction Of the forest
stock below the minimum required to
meet the current demand means de-
preston Of the lumber Industry, cur.
taliment OF the cut, and consequently
diminished outlay for LABOR, with
corresponding loss In wages.

All Over the Color Scheme.

From Iowa City, the state U. comes
the following tale of wrangle be-
tween the goods and the gentlemen
students because of the combination
of colors the latter wished to use
at a social function:
An incident which will claim pres
tige in the history of sae university
of Iowa for its uniqueness took place
this week when some two hundred
sorority girls entered a strenuous
protest against the determination of
the sophomore cotillioh company OF
ten young men to carry out color
scheme of red and green for the class
party at the university armory on
the evening Of December 16. For
several weeks previous to the an
nouncement of the plans of the young
men, the color scheme for the part
had been a much mooted question
and when the chairman of the com
mittee, Carl Strickler of Sibley, Iowa,
announced the decision of his com
mittee feminine Iowa rose UP in
arms.
The girls declare that they will be
unable to show off the pretty pink,
old rose. yellow and other hobby col
ored dresses that their dressmakers
have been planning for them for the
past month, and all because the col,
ors are so horrid If it had been any
thing but green and red, they say
1t would have been all right, but as
it is they will have to rear white.
Scores of them are not prepared
for this. Not contemplating antago
nistic colors they did not take the
trouble to order white party dresses
and now will have to rush work
through in time to fill their engage
ments for the party and be attiret
in white creation.
I On the other hand the ten young
men who compose the cotillion com
! mittee remain obstinate and declare
they will not change the color
scheme.

Private Losses Heaviest.

A comparison Of the public losses
with the private losses for the whole
country indicates that private losses
were seven times greater than public.
in spite of the fact that privately own.
ed forests are not more than five
times greater in extent and are more
accessible than those publicly owned.
in the fires of the Northwest and lake
states 1t is probable that state and
private owners of timber suffered
more nearly three times than twice
as heavily as the nation by these fires.

LOSS IN FOREST
FIRES $2O0,00o,OOo
Destruction This Year Equivalent TO
Six Years Growth Of All Forests
and Is Double Annual Cut.

Forest fires cost the United States
between s175,000,0oO and 5000 600 900
in 1910, according to American For
estry. Before the severe fires of Aug.
ust were more than probability the
magazine placed the loss to property
from fires in the United States and
Canada at about S1oo000,00O. The
great fires in the Northwest since
have caused losses of probably not
less than s2500o,000 in the national
forests, and those of the Northwest
and the lake states together have des-
troyed not less than s50,OOO,v0O worth
OF timber owned by states and persons
The startling statement is made In
the analysis Of the damage cone by
fire, that to replace the supply des
troyed this season would take SIX
years growth of all the forests of the
country, since not more than one-third
as much timber is grown as it takes
