bIC FIRE IN
 LITTLE ROCK Plant of the Minnequa Coop craze Go. Destroyed in That City Yesterday
S75,00O LOSS SUSTAINED
Cause of the Fire Not kn0wn-Largc Amount of Stock Destroyed
 With Plant.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. Fire which started in the cupalo of one of the dry Filns at the plant of the Min neQua Cooperage CemRoAy. in East Little Rock, destroyed the plant and a large amount of stock. entailing an estimated loss of $75,0 ,00o and putting between = and loo men cut of em- plovment.
 The cause of the fire has not been determined. When the night watch man went eff duty at 6:20 there was not intimation that within a very short time the large plant would be in ruins. The Nant had started LID and was well under way for the days work, when ono of the employees not ed smoke issuing from one of the dry kilns. He called attention to the fact, and with other employees. the matter was discussed for some few minutes, according to the best infor- nation obtainable. When an investi- gation was made it was seen that the top of the kiln was on fire, and after an alarm had been turned in by tele-' phone the employees began work to put out the blaze
 Was Quenched Once.
 At one time they had apparently been successful and the flames were quenched, but the heat was too great and in a second vast area burst in- to flame. Before the fire department reached the scene the plant was doomed, and but little could be done except to save some of the stock both manufactured product and the rough logs.
 Edward Price, who resides at 23O9 Gaines street, is treasurer and mana cated on the river bank east of the city dump in East Little Rock for number of years. The value of the stock which was burned could not be ascertained exactly this morning, but it is known to be immense The pro- duct of the plant principally, is nail turned out
 A loss of s2000 is sustained through the fire, which may be counted as aj- ditional to that which would have been occasioned had the fire come a short time before, in that a large boiler was installed last week by completed on Friday, and the boiler was fired up yesterday in order to get the plant ready to work this morn ing.
 The falling of large water tank near the boiler house. which occurred at 9:30, came near resulting seriously fer many spectators who insisted in getting nearer to the fire than was safe Burning timbers were thrown high into the air, and several narrow escapes were noted
 The fire department did excellent 1 work, taking into consideration the | fact that the run was such dis tance that when the apparatus arrived the plant was too far gone to save. | Large quantities of stock were saved, however, and under the direction of Chief Hafer, water was kept off the boilers in the hope that when the de- bris is removed it will be found that

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1910.
BRYAN NEEDS AN INsuReEN7
MOVEMENT.

Nine-tenths or more Of the business
in Bryan is done on Main street, with
in the length of four blocks. Partly
owing to a favorable strategic position
but more because of the enterprise and
liberality of the business men, Bryan's
business has outgrow the narrow linn
its In which 1t is crowded, with the
result that the prices Of business prop
erty and rents are abnormally high.
This congestion makes it easy for
owners to squeeze renters, forcing
them to pay an excessively large share
Of their profits for rent, and If BUSH
ness man wishes to buy he is con-
fronted with prices that are out of all
reason.
Most of the owners of business
property are not in business and some
of them are nonresidents. They are,
of course, delighted with situation
that gives them such an enormous ad-
vantage. They are standpatters. They
are opposed to any change. With ref
erence to Bryan and its interests they
occupy position analogous to that of
the "oId guard" republicans to the
country at large. Let well enough
alone is their policy. Hence they re-
fuse to contribute to any enterprise
or movement that will result in reliev-
ing the congestion.
How long will this state of affairs
continue? How long will Bryan re-
main hidebound? Is its growth to be
stunted forever by this abnormal con-
dition? Where is the physician wise
enough and brave enough to admins
ter the heroic treatment or perform
the surgical operation that will give
relief? Reverting to the political
metaphor, how long before there will
be an insurgent movement-a rebel
lion against these unnatural and un-
just conditions? Where are Bryan's
LaFollettes. Cummingses and Victor
Murdochs who will GUST the Aldriches,
the Joe Cannons and the Jim Sher-
mans?
Let it be borne in mind that The
Eagle does not include all the owners
OF business property in these strict
ures, and has no reference to any par

The next day after he Toys dormi-
tory of the Baptist academy was
burned the Baptist education board
met in Waco and promptly voted an
appropriation of $4,000, on condition
that Bryan raise $4,000 for rebuilding.
Now. wouldn't it be pretty story to
tell that Bryan had failed to make
good on this generous proposition?
Such a report circulated abroad would
neutralize all the good effect of the
advertising done by the Commercial
Club. A failure under existing condi-
lions would be nothing less than dis
astrous. The money must be raised.
