Blazing Train. Rushed 70 Stretch OF

Northern d Pacific engine dashed
through Bellingham, Wash. and out
into the country. ahead Of q trainload
Of blazing cedar logs, narrowly miss
ing q north-bound passenger at Ana
cortes. II :,
The wild ride occurred about 3 p.m M.
and the fiery cars leaptng along the
rails made a brilliant spectacle. Hun.
dreds of persons ran into their homes
frightened lest comet was sweeping
the horizon. The train was stopped
ten miles south of town and the burn
ing cars Of logs left to destruction.
When about four miles from Rog-
ers' logging camp, where the cedar
logs were loaded, one carload became
ignited from spark out of the en-
CINE. The fire quickly spread by the
rush of the train. and the engineer,
seeing the futility of stopping in the
heavy timber and endangering other
property, put on full speed.
The heavy woods run almost to
Bellingham's northern edge and the
danger was not passed until after the
blazing train had traversed the forest
and cleared the city when the stretch
of prairie south Of the: city was
reached. -
The engineer, although seeking to
save the property Of others from fire.
did not think Of the cab0ose on. the
rear OF the train, and while the cara
were being pulled along at fifty miles
an hour the occupants OF the caboose
were vainly trying to leap to safety

than could be learned by him in any
other way" continued Mr.. Mckinley.
III l have any special information
which qualities ME to speak with some
authority upon the resources of the
United States and their development
and their chances of development. it
is due wholly to the fact that l have
made careful study of the tariff my
chief work, especially since I have
been a member of the ways and
means committee. I will illustrate
what am saying to you by asking
you question. 1t is this: What, do
you think, is the most valuable min
eral-valuable in the sense Of the
greatest possible development-to the
United States?"
DO you mean to include the prec-
ious metals, like gold or silver?" I
asked.
"No, because gold and silver are of
especial and exclusive Importance be-
cause they are the basis OF our
money"
We'll, then, of course, l should say
that iron is the most valuable"
II have my doubts about that" Mr..
Mckinley replied. "Of course, iron is
OF the utmost Importance for the de-
velopment of our industries, and for
our railroads; We have. however,
plenty of iron. On the other hand tho
metal which. In my opinion, is almost
as valuable and important as iron to
this country, is one of the few min.
erals which the United States does
not produce in any commercial guam
tfty. Can you guess now what 1t Isl"
shook my head.
1T is tin," said the man who was
to be the Trainer of tariff bill, who
was to write the tariff plank in two
national Republican platforms. and
who was to be elected president upon
protection tariff plank. 1.-THE world
now largely depends upon the use of
tin for no small part of its food. With
out tin food could not be put into
packages so that armies can be fed
wherever they are: without 1t pros.
pectors who are exploiting our re-
sources and explorers could not be
assured of their daily supply of food.
Without food, what is an army, what
the ability of the men who are build
Ing railroads across deserts. or
through the great forests and mountain
stretches of the west? Tin cans. tin
cases. humble tin receptacles OF all
sorts-what an important part they
play in every day life. In the average
kitchen of the Republic? Yes, my ex-
perience in the school Of tariff making
has led me to the belief that this hum
BILE metal, which nature has denied
the United States, may be compared
with iron itself so far as it's material
importance to this country is con-
cerned. and though l do not care to
say this publicly at this time, some
day shall do So"
Seven years later, as chairman Of
the ways and means committee of the
house, william Mckinley framed tho
tariff bill that bears his name in his
tory. Probably the most striking sim
gle schedule in it-and unquestiona-
bly, the schedule that caused tho
greatest popular discussion-was that
which placed duty upon tin plate.

Ride in Special Car

Five Sisseton young ladies had
the honor of being about the
only passengers brought up from
Milbank on Sunday in a pas=
senger coach. They are, Misses
Hannah Rask, Martha Morris,
Venette. Babcock, Hilda and
Cora Humphner. They were
enroute home Saturday from
different eastern points, and
their train was about an hour
late, Knowing this, they wired
to Milbank to hold the Sisseton
train, which is usually done, at
such a time; but for some reason
no attention was paid to the tele-
gram. At Milbank the girls let
the home folks know Of the pre-
dicament, and one Of the fathers
got busy with the powers that
be on this division of the Mil
waukee, with the result that the
girls were given a special car on
the Sunday freight train.

The First Arnored Ship.

According to the best authorities
on curiosities Of the navy and war;
fare in general, the first armored
vessel was launched in 1880. 1t
was one of the feet manned by
the knights of st. John and was
entirely covered with sheets Of
lead. The accounts of the times
leave us in darkness as to the thick
ness of this lead armor, but they
are very positive in the statement
that they were of sufficient strength
to successfully resist all the shots
of that day." At the siege of Gibral-
tar in 1882 the French and Span
iards used war vessels which were
armored with eight iron boom
proofing over their decks and to the
waters edge" The very first prac-
tical use of wrought iron plates as a
defense for the sides of vessels was
by the French in the Crimean war
in 1853.
