 an Hour Wndstorm.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Seventy-live thousand persons saw Arch Hoxsey of the Wright team of ayiators break the worlds record for altitude here.
 He scared more than two miles into the sky, his barograph registering H. i74 feet, or almost a thousand feet above the altitude of 10,499 feet. re- gently attained by Le Ganeux at Pau, France.
 This is the second time the existing worlds altitude record has been brok- en in Los Angeles, the first time be- ing last January. when Louis Paul. han rose a little more than 1000 feet.
 Hoxsey accomplished his feat in a ;0-mile gale that wrecked Hubert La tham's Antoinette monoplane and kept more cautious aviators on the ground
 Hoxsey sailed into the sky at o'clock At 2:45 his barograph showed the greatest height while he scared over Venice, seashore re- sort, more than 20 miles from the aviation field.
 Coming down he made a series of thrilling spiral glides while thousands of feet in the aid. Before he came lightly to earth the crowd was on it's feet cheering.
 "It blew so hard" said Hoxsey, that my machine hardly moved and l barely held it's own. IL was so cold .hat more than once I thought my carburetor was about to freeze.
 q made the record because I de- termined to keep on going up until passed Le Gagneuxs record, or until the carburetor froze"

Chicago, Ill.-Twenty-three tiremen are dead here and at least a score are seriously and several fatally in- jured through a fire which destroyed the big beef storage house of Nelson Morris & C. and far a time threat ened to wipe out the whole Chicago stock yards.
 Foremost among the victims of the fire was the head of the Chicago fire department, Chief James Horan, who, with his second assistant. William Burroughs, and more than score of men, were killed when terrific eX- plosion of ammonia tore off the roof of the burning structure. forcing out it's walls and trapping the fire chief and his party under an oyerhanging canopy and against a line of freight cars. where they roasted to death while rescuers vainly fought the flames.
 The structures totally destroyed were Nelson Morris X Co.'S beef house, where the fire started, and which. with it's contents, represented a loss of $500 900; warehouse No. 6, loss $5500 000 refrigerator shed, s5O,- coo. The flames spread to several other structures. and for time. when the water supply failed, Assistant Chief Seyferlich believed the stock yards were doomed.
 Mayor and Council to Act.

AppfoeIated Mention.

The Sunday ball games in this
city between the Virginia and Hib.
bling teams, in which the visitors
were given two shut-outs. were the
subject Of greatly appreciated men
ton in the Duluth dailies-ap-
precia,ed by the Hibbing bunch,
but not 80 greatly or so justly ap-
preciated by the local fans or by
the local people as whole, both
the Duluth dailies failing to record
the event under a Virginia date line.
In fact the News Tribune either
neglected or refused to record the
event in any manner whatsoever,
although we are informed that a
paid phone message was sent them
Monday evening, while the Herald
had a four-liner about the games
under an Eveleth date line.
The people of Virginia cannot
but feel that for some unknown rea-
con the Duluth papers are extreme
~ negligent of Virginia and Vir-
GINA happenings, either through
absolute cussedness on the part of
the men in charge of the range de.
partment or through the neglect of
their local correspondent. inasmuch
az this city receives but trifling
mention in any respect as compar-
ed with other range communities,
although men who are conversant
withsthe various cities of the range
are unanimou in the view that Vir-
ginia is the city of them all.
Of course, the matter for publica-
ton or rejection is subject to the
discrimination of the papers. but it
looks like poor billiards for the Du-
luth press to thus flagrantly obliter-
ate city of the size and importance
of Virginia from their range depart
ment.

have pointed out to him how ugly his
nails and fingers are getting. Show
him how to keep his nails clean and
well trimmed and try and induce him
to take a pride in them. A good plan
