Mr.. job has done a most valuable work
during the last few years in cultivating
a greater respect for bird life than pre-
vailed before, by showing that there is
more sport in shooting the feathered crea-
lures with a camera than in killing them

These two Americans went 10 the right

wilder parts of the world. 4 well worked

of tho teachers of the normal school to
accomplish the dual object OF keeping
the children interested In something De-
yond their books and cultivating in them
a respect for growing things. The deco

ondary consideration. AS result OF the
small beginnings Washington is now con-
ducting an official school garden enter

features of the public education system,
making better citizens and giving all the
children a sense of proprietorshlp Wh1ch

More than forty working girls are
reported killed In the fire which
started shortly before noon today in
the four-story Ellis building, oecu-
pied by c. Schedaker & Son as a
shirt waist factory. The cause of the
fire was the workings of a poor fur

great difficulty combating the
flames.
Four other firms employing girls
also occupied the same building. Five
bodies have thus far been recovered.
Between fifty and one hundred girls
are reported caught in the disaster.

Two-thirds of a block OF buildings

escapes from death were made, and
that no one was injured outside those
burned Is regarded as miraculous.

IDAHO MINES PRO-
DUCE $l5,66O,OOO
OUTPUT OF MINERAL WEALTH
FOR 1909 is GREATER THAN
EVER BEFORE.
Death Rate From Accidents i'm Indus
try Is Low.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 19.-Idaho's
mineral production for the year 1909
amounted to $l5,660,O00, and in
\ spite of the depressed conditions of
mining industry throughout the
United States during the early part
Of the year, was sligrtly in excess
Of that of 1908, according to the an
nual report by State Mine Inspector
F. Cushing Moore, which will be is
sued during the next few days.
The inspectors figures are based
on actual production reported and do
not include many of the smaller
properties. especially placers, whicr
fact has a tendency to make tire
showing less than it would be il the
miners operating on "a small scale
would properly report their actual
productions.
Mineral Productions increased.
) For the year mineral production,
according to the figures of Inspect
or Moore report, has increased less
than $3.50, 900, which, in view of the
fact that two of the big properties
in the Occur d'Alenes were closed
down during the early part of the
year, and that the Hercules mill was
burned down in September, so that
the mine was worked only from that
time until the close of the year, is
considered to be a very good show
ing.
The depressed condition in the
mining industry during the early
part of the year the inspector attrib-
utes to a financial distrust in mines
and the tendency by capital to seek
Investment in other classes of prop
erty. During the last six months, he
stated. conditions have greatly i'm
proved and says the coming year
promises to be one of the most sue
cessful in the history of the state.
Big Mines Operated.
The producing mines of the state
have been able to operate regardless
pf financial conditions. he states
aside from a few which could moi
produce at a profit on the existing
low merit prices, but the mines II
the embryo state are the ones thai
have suffered to the greatest extent
many of which have been compelled
to close down, and in other cases OPP
tions on valuable properties have
been lost. This condition of inactiv
ity in this state Is directly due Il
the financial depression of 1907, ant
the subsequent popularity of irriga

Of capital toward manufacturing en-
