Costly Fire at MapletOn.

Mankato Free Press: Mapleton
was visited by a disastrous fire
early this morning, that destroyed
the commander mill and elevator
and a small barn near by. The en-
tire village was placed in the great
est jeopardy for two hours or more
and only the greatest effort on the
part of every man and many Of the
women saved the village from being
wiped off the map. Sparks fell IN
perfect RAIN storm over the entire
village, driven before the tiercest
gale of the winter, and every roof
had to be constantly watched and
the sparks Immediately put out be-
fore the wind famed them into
flames. AS it was, number OF
buildings caught fire, but none were
damaged to any extent.
The fire was discovered at about
four o'clock this morning, in the
roof Of the elevator owned by the
Commander Mill company Of Min
neapolis. 1t is thought TO have been
started by sparks from the smoke

Champaane Corks.

Champagne corks cost 10 cents
apiece because, for one reason, they
are handmade. Cork bark, before
entering the cork machines, must be
steamed. Steaming softens it.
Were it not softened it would dull
and ruin the machines circular
knives. But steamed cork has no
elasticity, no life. Inserted in a
bottle, it tends to shrink and per-
nit leakage A leaky cork would
ruin champagne, and therefore this

Uncle Sam and His Gold.

Uncle Sam has more gold in his
possession today than he has ever
had before in his life. Treasurer
Lee McClung looked over his balance
sheet and found the government had
over 81, 600, 100000 in gold coin, to
say nothing of S126,OOO,00O in bull.
lion. Never before in the history
of the government, according to the
New York Globe, has it had so much
gold piled up in it's Golfers. Not
only is this a record-breaklng
amount for the government to have,
but there is more gold in the trea-
sury now than in the vaults of Great
Britain and France combined, or of
Great Britain and Germany COM
bined, or of Great Britain and Rus
STA combined In other words, this
government has more gold in gold
coin and bullion than any other two
nations.
This vast golden hoard represents
the accumulation of long series of
years. 1t is not ascribed to any par
ticular financial development of re-
recent occurrence. By no means all
of this gold and bullion is stored in
| Washington. Any burglarious gen
tleman who thinks he can tunnel
under the treasury and find all this
gold in that institution some dark
night is in error. The gold is partly
in the vaults Of the treasury at
Washington, some of it is in the
vaults of the subtreasuries, and
some of it in the minis of Philadel-
phia and Denver. AS a matter of
of fact, the greater part of it is at
the two minis named. About 1895,
0O0, 900 of the total coin is held in
trust to redeem outstanding gold
certificates. 1t is expected that
congress will put through ieglsla-
tion this session to enable the trea-
sury to issue gold certificates against
the gold bullion in the proportion Of
three to two. That is, for 5000 il
bullion it would be possible to issue
/ $500 in gold certificates against tbs
bullion. This would lessen The
amount Of mintage necessary. Three
years ago the government trans
ferred S275, 100000 in gold coin from
San Francisco to Denver. The tasl
was accomplished at cost Of $275,
900.

The Teacher and the Schools.
Duluth News Tribune.

There is not only justice. but a
vast deal of pathos in the appeal OF
the teachers of Duluth for an In
crease of salary. But as employers
of labor seldom consider the pathos
of labor condition, probably that
element in the situation may as well
be disregarded.
In any event, it is not essential to
the argument. 1t is conceded by
every economist that every worker
is entitled to a wage sufficient to
provide for his needs, according to
his social class. Certainly, any vo-
cation which demands special edu-
cational qualifications. with the at
tendant expenditure of years and
money, is entitled to a wage that
will return a comfortable living and
the maintenance of respectable ap-
pearance.
Do the Duluth teachers get this
wage? Few will contend that they
do. To live comfortably; to have a
moderate-sized room and good board
in the average private home, or
boarding house. starts the living ex-
pense of any teacher at $50 to S35
per month. The former price IS
rather the exception.
Again, it is recognized fact that,
with this as basis, the incidentals
of the cost of living, merely the
necessities according to social class,
will be as much more. and this does
not include clothes. The cost figures
submitted by many teachers as to
their own expenses confirm this.
There, then, you have it. The
teacher who is getting less than $50
to $40 month is below the comfort
line, and on the wrong side of the
ledger, in securing that grade of
living cost that is generally nominat-
ed respectable" Nor does this al
low her anything for clothes, for
savings or for the other months of
the year that she is unemployed and
so unpaid.
The usual wage Of the household
maids in Duluth is $40 to S25 a
month. Add to this room, board
and laundry, and the average is $50.
without the demands or needs for
dozens of incidentaIs which fall to
the teachers lot. So, again, it is a
fact, as frequently stated, that the
maids of the household, on the
average, are better paid than are
the teachers. while those maids who
have fitted themselves for theiat vo-
cation as all teachers must, are ac-
tually better paid, better houses and
have vastly more of leisure than any
save the exceptional teachers.

Avalanche BaffIed at Last.

In the winter of 1909-10 an ava
lanche swept down the precipitous
sides Of the Cascade mountains at
the little town of Wellington, Wash
ington. and carried a Great North
ern passenger train with almost one
hundred passengers aboard. to a ter
ribIe fate in the depths of the canyon
below. To prevent the recurrence
of such catastrophe was the prob
lem that confronted the Great
Northern's engineers, and spurred
ON by James J. Hill. who declared
that the tracks must be rendered
absolutely safe no matter what the
cost, they finally determined upon
the erection of reinforced concrete
snowsheds, protecting all the Wei
lington danger zone. These have
Just been finished at cost OF $780,
900.
Construction of these solid mason
ry structures for distance of $500
feet is regarded a great accomplish
ment in the engineering world, for
they are not merely coverings built
over the tracks-they are indestruc-
tible hoods set into the mountain
side. Future avalanches may thun-
der into the canyon, far below, all
they please, but they will slide right
over the concrete tubes. and trains
may pass back and forth within
them as safely as passenger traffic IS
carried on beneath the HUI 1son river
in the McAdoo tunnels, or beneath
the Detroit river.
I'VE must make the mountain dis
trict impregnable against snowslides
even if an outlay Of millions of dol
lars is necessary" declared Mr.. Hill
emphatically, and aside from the
concrete sheds the railway magnate
ordered more than 81, 100000 spent
in an effort to prevent blockades and
delays to through trains during the
winter months. Two miles of the
main line near Berne, east Of Well
ington, are in process Of rebuilding,
new buildings were erected at Well
ington, a water supply system IS be-
ing installed between Wellington
and Scenic, and at Wellington a
rendezvou has been made for the
scores of men that each winter are
used to fight the snow king in the
Cascades. From this central point
men may be rushed down the west
side of the mountains or through
the Cascade tunnel to the eastern
slope. From Guarding Against the

The forests of Virgin pine, which
one time covered all the Northern
half of Minnesota, are very rapidly
melting-away before the demands OF
the civilized world for lumber. Our
grandchildren will haye to make
quite pilgrimage to see little of
the forest which not long ago sur
rounded us on all sides. Indeed,
were it not for the State and Nation
al Forests, government-owned and
protected by law, they might look
for real lumber forests in vain.
Minnesota has four of these State
Forests, or Forest Reserves" as
they are sometimes called, and the
people should be better acquainted
with them. for they are full of in
terest.
Probably the most accessible, and
at the present time the most interest
ing of these, is the Itasca State Park.
Within it's thirty-five square miles
are the sources of the Great Father
of Waters, in themselves of absorb
ing interest, especially to those liv-
ing on the lower reaches of the river.
At the south end of Lake Itasca is a
log hotel, fully equipped to comfort
ably house a limited number of
guests. Near the north end of the
lake is the summer home of the
Minnesota college of Forestry. de-
partment of the State University.
Here from fifteen to twenty stu
dents are at work, from the first of
May to the first of September. Here
also are the nurseries where pine
seedlings are being grown with
which to restock the cut-over and
burned-over portions Of the forest.
The surrounding forests contain
all the types and all the animals of
the north woods. The lover of ma
ture can imagine himself within the
untamed forest Of the early days of
the country, if he does not wander
too far and come upon the desolated
regions without the boundaries.

Gently acquired, through gift, a
