Prairie fires are a rare thing today as
compared with thirty or forty years
ago. but when one does get started it
is accompanied by the same disastrous
results. even if on a smaller scale. One
of these fires got loose in Major coun-
ty, Okla, the other day. and a rancher,
his wife and son. who were en- route
by team to nearby town, were caught
by the fire and burned to death, their
charred bodies and those of their
horses being found a short time after
ward by the roadside where the fire
overlook them

dent pro TEN OF the Senate, and the

New York.-An early morning

aviation field
He kicked It out of the road, and
thought no more of the matter until
an old salt coming down the aviation
field stopped him.

hoof that looks mighty like amber

Let's go back and see where it
came from"
She sure is ambergris." said the
sailor when they reached the object
of Walling's kick. and later In the day
local chemist confirmed the state
ment.
Walling then took his precious bur-

OLD FLEET PATCHED UP
Windjammers OF All Kinds Arc Being
OverhauIed and Pressed Into
Grain Carrying on Pacific.

Vancouver, y. C.-With n bumper
crop of barley estimated at $780, 900
tons, California grain men stand to
lose immense sumo owing to the lack
OF tonnage for handling the crops. The
utmost carrying capacity OF all the
vessels in sight is between $4,000 to
10000 tons The ships of England and
other nations. which formerly had am
pie space for the grain. have all their
tonnage taken months ahead and most
or them are engaged elsewhere at
such high rates that they are not CON
sidering Pacific coast shipments.
The situation in California is
sample OF what pertains to the whole
coast. scarcity OF tonnage will be felt
more acutely toward the end OF the
year It is claimed.
Old sailing ships which had been
towed to the Oakland estuary as OBJ
solete In view OF the growth of ship
ments by steamers few years ago
are being overhauled and patched up
to handle the grain in the absence of
steamer tonnage. The estuary for
the last six years has become a land
mark because of the presence OF the
AhsihSHSe meet VI salllnB Bp1pB Wnicn
had been moored there to rot.
Among the boats are the Ferris g.
Thompson. Halcyon. Lurline. Reuce.
Charmer. California. Sonoma. Beulah
Little Bonne. Diamond Head. Balboa
and host of others. consisting OF
schooners. barks. brigantines and full
rigged ships.
Most OF the vessels have been strip
ped of their boats and gear. but many
or them have been kept up In a half
Interested manner. II was believed
that the days of the wlndjammer
were past and the whole fleet could
have been bought for a song.
Now even the worst of the old huIks
is being hauled out and patched up to
make voyage or two. and some OF
them will be unable to pass the in
spectors. The freight situation has
brought the windjammers to the fore
once more. and they are as much In
demand as they were before steam

CONS former governors, their wives
and widows. at the reception given
Wednesday night in their honor at the
capitol building by Governor and
Mrs. West. The receiving line was
formed in the executive chamber at
s o'clock, and It was after 10 o'clock
before the last person had gripped
the hands of aged and honored guests
and wished them peace and happiness
for the year which has just been
ushered in, and for the years to come.
The decorations were artistic in the
extreme. The rotunda had been con-
verted by skilled decorators into a
scene of beauty. and so had the ex-
ecutive offices, and an orchestra was
concealed behind mass of ferns and
foliage.
The reception was the first of its
kind where the people had been In
vited to attend and meet the states
former governors, and those near and
dear to them.
In the receiving line were Governor

But orders Petitions stuck In Holes
BE Burned.

Bombay.-The Amir of Afghanis-

had good links made in the neighbor-
hood of Kabul.
The natives have been much puz-
zled by the well-kept green's. but,
recognizing that the game is a royal
one, they have put the holes to prac-
tical purposes. They have got into
the habit of placing petitions into the
holes at night in the hope that they
will reach the amir when he Is putting
on the next day.
But his majesty's temper has appar.
emily not been improved by the royal
game. He resents this attempt to
take advantage of his recreations, and
has ordered that all such petitions are
to be burned unread.

This was shown by the active interest
