Is having great trouble in the noun
tains. The best snow fighters In the
Canadian Pacific railway service are
on the ground seeking to start traffic

A BIG BLAZE
rhe Yellow Pine Lumber Company
Plant Suffers a Heavy Loss.

. Friday night from cause unknown
The Yellow Pine Lumber COmpany's
plant suffered heavy loss from fire
which is partly insured.
The fire burned rapidly but was
held in check by the firemen. It was
q gallant fight against many disad-
Nantages and a low pressure Of
water.
Four small houses occupied by
negroes and two small shacks, be-
ing in the path of the fire, were in
cinerated.
A number of mules owned by the
company were cremated.
The Louisiana Compress and 9TH
er buildings nearby received the
close attention of the firemen. A
freight car was partially burned.
During the fire, owing to d num-
Der of electric light poles having
been burned and the wires were
.sagging on the telephone and other
wires, it was deemed wise to cut off
that section of the city from elec-
tric lights. The lights were re-
stored as speedily as possible after
the fire.

Center of Population Is
Shifted Farther West

Development of the west and the re-
movaI of many thousands of Eastern
people to the great plains regions of
the West and Southwest have resulted
in the shifting of the center of popu-
lation in the United States to a point
thirty-one miles farther west than 1t
was ten years ago.
This is the information given out by
the Census Bureau in announcing that
the center of population is now near
Unionville, Monroe county, Indiana.
Ten years ago it was in Bartholomew
county, Indiana, six miles southeast of
Columbus. Although shifting thirty-one
miles westward, the northern move
ment during the last decade has been
seven-tenths of a mile. The shift in
the center Of population during the last
decade has been more than double that
Of the ten years previous when the
Westward movement was fourteen
miles.
The center OF population marks the
place from which there is an equal
distribution of population in all direc-
tions. considering only the continental
United States.

PILE Of ICE CREAM
HIGH AS MONUMENT
IS EATEN MONTHLY
Washingtonians Are Fond
of Cooling Dainty in
Summer Months.

Enough ice cream to I'LL the Washing
ton Monument to its aluminum-capped
peak is eaten by Washingtonians every
month during the hot weather. II all
the ice-cream eaters of the city confined
their efforts for a time to a giant cone.
just the size of the Monument the cone
would be demolished in just about one
month.
Twenty-Five thousand gallons Of ice
cream are eaten every day in this city.
according to the figures of leading ice
cream manufacturers.
If one weeks output Of the local fac
tories were placed in one gallon tins, 1t
would make pipe line from the Union
Station to Baltimore.
City's Consumption.
1t is figured out by one statistician
that II the ice cream consumed in a day
were placed in one huge cone, it would
make a pile ten feet across at the base,
tapering to a point fifty feet in the air.
Ice cream consumption in Washington
has show an enormous increase in the
last three or four years. Previous to
that time, ice cream was a sort of lux
urious treat, to be served after supper
OI dl pdIlyI1 anu leosp was
sign of affluence. Nowadays, We get
our cone or our helping without think
ing twice.
This condition Of affairs is due to the
enterprise OF the local dealers who first
placed ice cream at the disposal Of the
people in every walk Of life.
Bought Cheaply.
When ice cream was to be ordered
from the caterer by the gallon, 1t was
a luxury that the poorer folk could not
indulge in. Five-cent cones and Decent
boxes at the little store around the cor
ner were a great stimulus to the general
ice-cream appetite.
But then, on the other hand, this Is
one of the things that Secretary ''Tama |
Jim Wilson gravely points to as the
cost of high living. And there Is no de- |
nying the fact that there were many |
people a few years ago whose palates
were not overfamiliar with chocolate !
and vanilla and other variegated fiavors. |
but who now use great quantities of |
cream. When ice cream was dear the |
poor people did not buy. When they |
can get II for cents a serving, Ice |
cream bills make fair size dent in the |
weekly stipend.

UNION RECOGNITION
QUESTION TIES UP
JERSEY CAR LINE
Refusal to Discharge Twelve
Nonunion Men Leads
to Strike.

TRENTON. n. J.. July 1S.-As a re-
suit Of the refusal of c. NJ. Bates,
president 0f the Pennsylvania and New
Jersey Traction Company. to discharge
dozen conductors and motormen who
will not join a new union, the lines of
the company running between Trenton
and Princeton, and Trenton and LAM
bertville and Newton are tied up today
by strike.
Bates, himself, took out one car this
morning and a crew Of old employees
an another one or two, but very little
traffic was handled.
There was no violence today, but last
night strike sympathizers went out into
the country and tore up the track and
cut the overhead wires. Today police
are on guard here in the city, and the
company has watchmcn on guard over
its country lines. President Bates de-
clares that he has sixteen men at work,
while Fitzferald. the union organizer,
declares only ten have refused to Join
the strikers. About fifty men are out.
Bates says it Is merely a matter of
recognition of the union, as there is
no DISAGREEMENT over wages or hours.
He refuses to recognize the closed shop
to the extent of dismissing the old men
who will not join the union.
