few persons were in the Vicinity and

GUESTS FLEE sCANTILY CLAD
AT least 80 are known to have escaped
from the structure. Many OF them
We're scantily clad. They ran to nearby
restaurants and drug stores, where
they were cared for until taken either
to the emergency hospital or to other
hotels.
Owing to the inf1ammable nature of
the interior the fire was so intense
that firemen did not get the flames
under control for several hours after
It started. When they finally were
able to enter the structure 1t had been
Quilted and the entire Interior had col
lapsed and fallen into the basement.
Here, beneath hundreds of tons of
debris. lie the dead bodies OF the VIC
Tins and it may require two days to
remove them from the death cellar
The suddenness with which the fire
obtained headway. due probably to es-
Gaping gas, gave the inmates little
time to escape, and many OF them were
caught like rats in a trap.

Sweet Clover Better Than Alfalfa.

!. Everybody knows, and II ne don't
he should, that nature would not pro-
duce sweet clover so abundantly II II
was not designed for some useful pur-
pose. We always had an idea that
once this plant was understood that
It would be more generally appreciat-
ed. Having carried this idea tor
number OF years, we are grateful to
learn that we were right all the time.
According to the Nez Perez Herald,
Judge W. G. Quarton Of Algona, la,
mas made a study OF sweet clover, and
he has proved conclusiveiy that sweet
clover has alfalfa, timothy and ordi-
nary clover, licked to trazzle as Sol.
Roosevelt would say. Judge Quarton
has established the following facts IN
regard to the plant: the cattle will
eat 1t, once they have acquired taste
Tor it; it will grow on any SOIL IN
Iowa except water soaked soil, which
means that it would grow anywhere
in Idaho; it can be sown in any month
of the year; it has high food value
for hogs, cattle and horses, a higher
food value than alfalfa; and IN COM
parison with timothy the Judge says
that the only reason cattle do not
starve to death on timothy is because
he winters are not long enough; 1t Is
the best fertilizer in the world. These
are the fundamental qualities OF the
plant. The farmer will become &C
uuainted with other virtues as he be-
comes more familiar with the plant
Judge Quarton has 80 acres in sweet
clover which he cultivates.
The best hay from sweet clover is
secured from the first years crop
Sweet clover will not go to seed until
the second year. 1t will give two
crops the second season and the third
season the crop can be cut for

Discourages Settlement

Nov, my dear governor, the best
way in the world to get settlers to

to mollify conditions We should first
extend the period of payments to a
period OF from q to 81 years and pro-
coed upon the theory that the settler
is honest and the government tar.

hundred thousand settlers every year,
who 90 into Canada. there is no rea-
SON why they should take Canadian
lands III preference to ours. They are
no better, no more fertile and the eli
mate is not SO desirable. But our pub
lie land laws have been SO executed
IN such technical, procrastnatlng,
parslmonious way that thousands OF
people who would like to have lands
are discouraged. Now the remedy tor
this is not to encourage cheap railroad
rates and cheap transportation alone,
but to create a pubic sentiment IN
favor of a tair adjustment and revl-
sion and execution of these laws.
