Washington.-The Canadian reci-

this landmark should be preserved
and made one of the show places Of
Chicago
When Chicago began to burn, the
evening Of October 8. 1871. terror
stricken citizens fed north to the
tower In the belief that the fire would
be- confined to narrow district. The
following day the fire reached the
tower and roared about its base, de-
stroying the machine shop and ada
cent buildings. The pumping engines
were stopped and the walls OF the en-
CINE house began to crumble. The
roof and floors of the other buildings
gave way. but the tower stood firm
while the flames raced northward.
The great pile of masonry was pre-
served when repairs were made, and
since that day has been rich in tradi-
ton and romance.
Many stories of the tower deal with
the romances Of some of the richest
sons and daughters of Millionaires'
row. An clipping couple is said to
have been married at the top of the
tower. In the days OF old thousands
Of young men and maidens wandered
up the stairway to the summit to
plight their troth.
The doors of the tower were locked
long ago. The only magic key that
will unlock the door is In the keeping
Of the city authorities.
The city authorities hold now that
disintegration has begun and that the
tower must go. This theory is denied
by members of the Chicago Historical
society. who declare that the tower
was built to stand 10000 years and
that there Is no danger of its crum.

GIVES Ignite VALUE.
Cost of 5rlquets Reduced by Use of
Powerful Machine.


Powerful Machine.
Washington.-In briquets of Ignite
the government bureau OF mines be-
lleves it has developed a fuel supply
that will be of immense value to the
west where high-grade coal can be
obtained only at excessive cost.
A powerful machine brought from
Germany has solved the difficulty
which heretofore has limited the
manufacture of briquets to the cost
OF the pitch necessary to hold the
coal-dust together.
Ignite is a poor form of brown
colored coal found in great ahund-
ance In North and South Dakota,
Montana, Texas and other western
states. Its tendency to slack soon
after being mined makes it trouble
some to transport, and 1t does not
burn readily on account of the pres
ence of between 80 and 40 per cent
of moisture.

CAPTAIN FAILED IN HIS DUTY

California, Four Being Drowned
When Lifeboat capsized.

son and three seamen of the steamer
Santa Rosa. OF the Pacific Coast
Steamship company. which went
ashore at Point Arguello early Fri
day, were drowned when lifeboat
capsized while the passengers OF the
wrecked vessel were being taken
ashore by the crew.
There were 275 persons on board
when the accident occurred.
The Santa Rosa went ashore just
before dawn, at the bar ut the mouth
of Honda creek. 1t is supposed that
a powerful searchlight used by a
gang of railroad laborers working
near a wreck was the cause of the
vessel leaving it's course. the quar-
Lermaster mistaking it for the light
pf the Arguello lighthouse. The yes
sci lay about 200 yards from shore
near Saddle Rock, where the Yankee
Blade was wrecked several years

not appear to be serious and Captain

again to float the Santa Rosa, made
NO attempt to land the passengers
