Flames, Believed to Have Been Started
By Person of Maliciou. Intent,
Consume. Much Cedar.
THREE CARS OF POLES BURN
Yards, Among Largest in World, Saved
By Explosives After Bucket
Brigade Fails.

Fire, believed to have been
started by person with malici-
Gus desire for the destruction of
property, consumed $40, 900 worth
of cedar in the Ross & Ross cedar
yards at Kelliher. These yards
are among the largest in the
world.
The fire was discovered at 1890
Sunday night and had gained
such Roadway that efforts to
combat it with water failed and
the complete destruction of the
yard was only averted by the use
of 100 pounds of dynamite. The
dynamite was exploded in four
charges of IS pounds each and
while it resulted in the destruction
of considerable timber, it created
an open lane 40 feet wide, across
which the flames were unable to
jump.
Three loaded cars of cedar poles
valued at $4,000 were consumed and
$4,000 worth of cedar posts and
poles were likewise reduced to ashes.
The Ross & Ross yards are located
on the southeast edge of the Kelllher
city limits and are just beyond the
reach of the city fire hose. When
alarm was given, a bucket brigade
of men, women and boys did their
best to prevent a spread of the fire
and succeeded in keeping the flames
out of the village. On different
occasions during the past few months
the cedar yards have been in danger.
There had been no fires near
the yards for several days and the
only explanation of the mysterious
origin of the fire is that some one
deliberately planned to burn up the
cedar yards. The fire was under.
control by midnight.
The loss is nearly complete as
there was but small insurance on
the property consumed.

week, leaving behind them as friends

STONER'S RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
Engineers Insistent Desire to Sever His
Connection With City Granted
After Weeks Delay.

In written opinion, City Attor-
'ney Torrance informed the city
council at its regular meeting last
night, that it has not the power to
collect a liquor license from the
Metropolitan Club. Mr.. Torrance
based his opinion on a ruling made
by the attorney general and sus.
tanned by the supreme court.
At the meeting of the council a
week ago, Mayor Parker raised the
point that the Metropolitan Club
was selling liquor and that if this
was so it should be made to pay a
license and the city attorney was
instructed to ascertain the power of
;the city along that line.
The resignation of City Engineer
eStoner was accepted. Mr.. Stoner
gtendered his resignation week ago.
at which time he censured the coun-
scil for accepting contracts for city
work on which he had reported ad-
,versely. Alderman Tom Smart said
mr.. Stoner had no right to resign as
The had not finished his work. At
1.-THE meeting last night, however, the
council was unanimous that it should
|be unadvisable to attempt to retain
.Mr. Stoner's services.
The council voted to instruct the
Minnesota & International railroad
company to place Waterman at its
railroad crossing.

LOSS IN FARMING POPULATION

The cry of back to the farm"
has so far resulted in nothing, and
additional census reports as they
are given out show that not only
has there been no exodus to the
agricultural districts from cities,
but that the farm population is act
ually decreasing. Thus in Missou-
ii the total increase in population
for the last decade is a little over
FIVE per cent, and as the cities Of
that state show a greater Increase
than the whole state, it is clear
that the country districts haee act

Of the census of agriculture in To-

had the effect Of increasing The val

For the second time since it has

was discovered at the very first by
one of the young lady students and
she at once ran to the telephone to

and called for the central fire sta

was busy She tried agan and
again, and finally succeeded in ad-

it was fully twenty minutes before
the fire department reached ihe
scene of the conflagration. Then
the water pressure was found who'll

the burning building, which by this
time was all aflame. The building
and contents were valued al S25,-

THE EFFECT OF THE RECENT
FREEZE ON THE COTTON
CROP
Stopped Any Further Addition to
the Yield of This Years Crop
Editorial in New Orleans Pica-
yune.

The cold spell that has spread
over the country for the past Few
days has undoubtedly produced a
killing frost in the creates. portion
of the cotton belt. In fact it is
likely that only the southern por--
ton of Texas mad the is,niediate
Gulf coast escaped the severely of
the weather. 1t must be admitted,
however, that as the c0All Was un-
accompanied by rain, or ever mols-
ture it has probably done less harm
to vegetation than might otherwise
have been the case. THAI the fur
the rgrOwth Of the COTTON has been
arrested there can be no doubt, but
that mature or nearly mature bolls
has been damaged is mot only prob
able.
The killing frost has come several
weeks later than last year and much
later than is usually fhe ease 1t
is therefore probable hat the crop
las been pretty we'll made m the
greater part of the belt. NeN trthe-
less the frost has undoubdIy put a
stop to further additions to the
yield and the sO-called crop au-
horities can now safely prsElulgate
their estimates Of the yield. These
estimates are not Of any great val
ue, however, as they are guesses
pure and simple, but still they add
to the gayety of the situation and
afford spectators. material for in
tluencing the market.
The crop was probably la,er in
Oklahoma and north Texas than in
any other part Of Tire bell yet re-
ports from that section Indicate that
no very serious damage ha- been
done, as the crop was pra tically
made. IF that is the case ailh re-
spect to Oklahoma the Gainage to
ohe eastern belt cannot Gavc been
very extensive as the croo there,
though backward. was not IS late
as ii The northwest.
OF much more Importance at the
present time is the probable con-
sumption Of cotton. IF the world
takes q normal amount Of cotton
the crop no matter how large, will
not prove excessive. Thle is
therefore some risk in pushing The
prices so high as to restrict Inc de-
mand front he mills because Of
their inability TO dispose 0. their
output at figures hish enough to
warrant paying big prices Tor the
raw material. At This cal'y late it
is difficult to forecast consumption.
Just as it is almost impossible TO
predict production wi thalmost like
reasonable accuracy. Crop esti-
mates differ materially, ranging
from very low figures to khat might
be considered full crop. This
wide divergence of estimates proves
clearly that they are ALL guesses
pure and simple based upon mere
opinions rather than upor pains
taking investigation. It is equally
difficult to make any reasonable
forecast as to consumption On the
basis Of present weekly takings by
the mills so that the estimates Of
consumption are just as unreliable
as estimates Of production.
