RUNAWAY DASHES INTO AUTO
Frank Hughes Slightly Injured and
Automobile is Badly Damaged

Frank Hughes was slightly injured
and the Ford automobile he was
driving was badly damaged last Fri
day, when a runaway team, belong
ing to Mrs Charlotte Copas, collided
with the auto about mile north OF
the city on the Shaw dam road. The
team was pulling a light wagon and
dashed into the automobile just as it
turned a corner, there being no time
to turn out in an endeavor to avoid
the accident. The autoe belonged to
MiclMelsOn e Hughes.
One side of the automobile was
badly smashed up and the damage
will probably run up to at least
SIS. The windshield was demolished
and two of the fingers on Mr..
Hughes left hand w-re cut by the
glass. The nail was cut off of one
finger
The accident might easily have re-
suited more seriously.

REPORT OF STATE
FIRE MARSHAL

The sixth annual report OF the
State Fire Marshal Department has
just been filed with the governor. 1t
has been deemed not altogethf
wanting in interest, as well as i'm
portance, to call the attention OF the
public to some of the salient fea-
lures of this report Starting out with
a rather full discussion of the fire
waste of the state and nation, CIV
ing detailed information as to rem
edies for it's reduction, the letter OF
transmittal explains the reason for
this extensive detail as follows:
Many OF the teachers of our pub
lie schools have grown into the haD-
it of applying for onr annual reports,
to be used by them in connection
with Fire Prevention Day pro-
grams as we'll as the general edu-
cation of the young regarding our
scandalous fire waste and as to rem
edial methods for conserving our ar
tificial" as distinguished from oA
natural" resources"
In discussing the magnitude OF the
national fire waste. it asys: In the
United States we burn up nearly
three hundred millions of dollars
worth of property annually. That is
equal to the value of one-half of the
nations annual production of gold
silver, copper and petroleum com
bined. Or, looking at it from another
viewpoint, we burn up each year
the equivalent in value of one-half OF
the new buildings erected each year
Some one has pictured it in this way
that if the buildings we burn eacE
year were placed side by side or
both sides Of a street, they woulC
form an avenue of burning buildings
from Chicago to New York City
That, If we were to proceed up thai
avenue, every one thousand feet We
would find man, woman or child
seriously burned or injured by fire
and each quarter Of mile We Woul(
find the charred remains of a human
being. who had lost his life by fire"
In speaking of the states fir
waste, it goes to say, in part: 9TH
state Of Wisconsin has been bearin
its share of this shameful and Grim
tnaI loss Of "man-made" wealth an
human life. We burned up in Wiscor
sin last year by accident, careles:
ness and design, very nearly fou
million dollars worth of property, nc
including losses from forest fire.
And this is not the most serlou

THE SOO'S NEW TERMINAL
Big Freight Depot in Chicago Will
be Ready December

According to a forecast made re-
Gently by engineers in charge, the
new Chicago freight terminal of the
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie railway will be ready for use
December /.
Including the cost of the site, it
will represent an expenditure OF
more than $10,0O0,000. A force Of
|, 200 men is now employed in erect
ing the buildings and laying tracks.
The site covers eleven city blocks
and extends south from Twelfth
street, between Canal and Clinton
streets, to Fifteenth street, where it
extends west to Halsted street.
To avoid grade crossings, the
tracks are being built on deck
structure and the space beneath will
be used for storage purposes. From
the street the track deck will be
reached by two incline driveways,
one beginning at Twelfth street and
the other at Fourteenth place. Ar
rangements have been made with the
Chicago Tunnel company to provide
connexions with freight carrying
conduits, so that service can be fur
ished to skyscrapers in the loop.
The in-freight house will be served
by five tracks and will have floor
space of 100000 square feet. 1t is ex-
pected this capacity will be doubled
within the next few years. Eight
tracks will furnish service to the
OUTRIGHT house, which will have a
floor area of $4,000 square feet. The
company will have an area of work

Mr.. FarIey's Letter
Thompson Mercantile Compal

Thompson Mercantile Company
Dear Sirs:
Il fail to see how it is possible to
mention the many good things Of
which | know and talk about Lady
smith, and confine ours Ives to two
hundred words. In fact it would take
columns to enumerate all the good
things We know about the city and
it's citizens.
The city is blessed with a class
1f business and professional men
that are second to none of any city
which we know Of I know them not
only as business men, but as a class
of men who will make the newcomer
feel that he is among friends in a
very short time.
AS to the public buildings and pri-
vate homes with well kept lawns
they are not surpassed by cities ten
times older. The business houses are
the most substantial kind. The
streets are wide and graded to suit
the most exacting.
The professional men are all that
could be desired. We have saw mills,
paper mills and canning factory.
We have two weekly papers that
would be credit to many larger cit
les. We have one of the grandest riv-
ers of the state, upon which may be
used the row boat, sail boat or mo-
tor boat. The highways leading out
to the grandest farming country on
earth are not surpassed
Taking all the surroundings into
consideration, Ladysmith being sur
rounded by the best farming soil on
earth, it must eventually be among
the most important cities of the
state.
