Fire entirely. destroyed the school
house at Hanska, in Brown county,
last night, after the. building was
struck by lightning. The town had
retired when the fire occurred, about
11:15, and the blaze was not discoy-
cred until fifteen minutes later. The
bolt struck the chimney, setting fire
to the roof, and by the time the fire
department arrived all hope of saving
the building was lost. The firemen
turned their attention to the Nor
wegian Lutheran church near by, and
had a hard fight to keep the fire from
destroying this also. The residence
of Gilbert Wee was also threatened.
The school building was located on
Summit avenue.
Large Frame Building.
The Hanska school house was a
large frame building with three
rooms, two upstairs and one down

insurance on the building and $1,000
on the contents. The directors will
begin the erection of new building
at once but it will not be finished in
time to open for the coming term OF
school. Another building will be used
temporarily in which the term will
be commenced.
A very heavy electrical storm burst
over Hanska last night, striking sew
eral telephone poles, but no other
fires occurred.

Ernest Skoog, the young man who
was buried in the wreck of the Pat
terson building Tuesday afternoon, is
resting easy today, and spent good
night last night His condition is
very favorable His limbs were set
yesterday afternoon, and an appli-
ance to keep the legs stretched long
enough for the bones to grow to-
gether is being used. His brother,
William, arrived from Sioux City, Ia,
last night.
The work of clearing away the
wreck at the Patterson building is
still going on, and shipments to Gus
toners were commenced today. The
rain last night did little damage, as
most of the perishable stock which
was mixed in the debris when the
big water tank crashed through the
roof, had been picked up. A large
part of the stock will be saved.
No adjustments with the insurance
companies have so far been com
menced, but they have been notified
of the accident.
The stock Nof Conner Jones music

building across the street from the

this morning Mr.. and Mrs. Jones are
beginning to be able to tell how
much of their stock was damaged
by the collapse of the water tank
on the Patterson building. A number
of pianos and sewing machines which
were on the second floor of their
building were damaged by water and
large number of yictrolas were wa
ter soaked. The victrolas were on
the first floor of the building. Mr.
Jones said this morning that the wa
ter on the first floor of his building
was two feet deep before he could
! get the front door of the building
open to let the deluge out.

Richie Names Foley
As His New Manager

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 25.-Willie
Richie having finally tired of hand
ling his own business affairs, yester-
day appointed Harry Foley as his
manager.
Foley entered upon his duties al
once and during the day got through
quite a lot Of business.
He interviewed James W. Coffroth,
who wants to match Richie with
Harlem Tommy Murphy for date in
November, and ascertained that Cof~
froth's offer Of $4,000 for Richie,
made when the promoter wanted the
champion to box Murphy in Septem-
Der. still held good.
Then the newly appointed manager
called on Eddie Graney. who has the
city professional permit for Novem-
Der, and found that he also would
like to stage a lightweight champion
ship match on Thanksgiving Day. But
Graney was not prepared to make an
offer and asked for a few DAYS in
which to consider the matter.

And here the big fellows are so

the rival dopesteTs will have to shake

square on one point. at least.
As in hitting, the National has the
shade, but it is ~ small as to be neg
ligible. The record includes 2g,112
put-outs, 1881 assists, and ! .92S err
rors for an average of .957. The
American League shows 2S.793 put
outs 14,04S assists. and 1927 errors.
A casual consideration of the fig
ures would favor the American
League, in spite Of the margin on the
SIDE of the Nationals. An assist COM
monty is fraught with more exertion
and liability to error than a put
out; and the American Lea que has
more assists on fewer put-outs. with
fewer errors all around.

THE FORESTS WILL ASSURE
PURE WATER SUPPLY

Secretary Houston has just approx
men of agriculture and the town OF
Stafford, Ariz., by which the forest
service and the town will cooperate
to conserve Saffords water supply,
which comes principally from the
Crook National forest.
This is the latest one of many fig.
ures of the forest service. There are
nearly 1900 cities and towns in the
west which derive their water supply
from lands within the national forest.
Where these cities desire it the gov
eminent joins hands with the citizens
for the purpose of maintaining a per-
manent and pure water supply.
Stock raising, for example, or any
other occupancy of the land, which
ordinarily would be encouraged, would
be inadvisable on watershed which
forms a source of drinking water. The
forest service recognizes that water
is as necessary commodity for wood
ed hillsides to supply as are sawlogs
may offer an opportunity to furnish
the greatest benefit to the largest
number through supplying an unpol-
luted source of water for domestic
purposes.
Contracts like that just made with
Stafford are now in force with Cascade,
Colorado Springs, Salt Lake in Utah;
and Baker City and The Dalles, Ore
gon. The famous Bull Run watershed,
which supplies Portland, Ore, is on
the Oregon National forest.
The cooperative agreement in each
case provides that the land may not
be used withoutapproval by the town,
except for the protection and care Of
the forests. The government agrees
to extend and improve the forests by
seeding, planting and forest manage
ment, so far as the funds for that pur-
pose are available. The city for its
part assists by paying the salaries of
the additional guards necessary to
carry out the agreement, and contracts
to bear the greater part of the cost
of any improvement work which it
considers Immediately desirable.

Would End Sugar Industry.

The feature that we dislike about
this sugar schedule is that 1t proposes
to make sugar free in three years.
This would certainly put stop to any
further building of sugar factories and
would no doubt result in the closing
up in three years of most of those
now in existence. Does congress think
that this would be to the interest of
the American farmer or the Ameri-
can people? Certainly business that
has been built up largely through the
efforts of the late secretary of agricul-
ture should not be wiped out in this
