One Thousand Buildings Are
Destroyed and 10000 of
$4,000 Residents
Homeless
PATH OF FIRE TWO
MILES LONG AND
HALF MILE WIDE
Historic and Literary Landmarks
Wiped Out by Terrific Blaze.
Thousands Homless Camp on
Commons-Many Injured
But None Killed

Salem, Mass, June 25.--Nearly
half of the "0ld Witch City" of
Salem, rich in historic buildings and
tradition. was devastated today and
tonight by fire that caused an esti-
mated loss of $20,000,0OO; destroyed
one thousand buildings, including
score of manufacturing plants, and
made ten thousand of the forty-fiye
thousand residents Homeless.
The fire originated in the Korn
leather factory on the west side of the
city about 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
and swept through the shoe and
leather manufacturing district, ruin
ing every building in a curving path
two miles long and more than a half
mile wide.
Burning embers. carried by a strong
northwest wind. started fires in two
other sections, the fashionable residen-
tial district adjacent to Lafayette
street, aud manufacturing and tene-
ment house district on the peninsula,
bounded by Palmers Cove, South River
and the water front.
Fourth Fire Set
Late In the evening brands lSindled
a fourth fire In the plant OF the Salem
oil company in Mason street The oil
tanks blew up with n terrific report
and showers of sparks fell threatening
ly on part of the town that before
had not been in imminent danger This
fire, however, was checked after IL had
destroyed the oil companys $ plant and
13 houses
When the flames were believed TO
be under control at II o'clock tonight
all the historic and literary landmarks
had escaped destruction. These included
the Peabody museum. Essex institute,
Old Custom House. where Nathaniel
Hawthorne did much of his literary
work and '"rhe House of Seven Cables
made famous by the novelist.
Burning at Midnight
Al midnight the fire was burning on
Derby street, not far from the Peabody
museum, but 1t was thought the build
ing and It's valuable collection of curios
would be saved.
"rhe House of Seven Cables also
was In the danger zone.
Several buildings were dynamited
and late tonight 1t looked as though
the fire had been checked. No fatalities
had been reported up to midnight but
In the confusion 1t was impossible to
determine the casualties. Some so in
jured persons were received at hos
pitals.
Thousands of homeless were camped
on Salem common tonight and the city
was polced by militiamen
The great destruction was due to
poor water pressure.

privatest kind, he would probably to-
day be the most powerful political
force in tho country instead of the
discredlted leader of O. serio'comic

Ho could have done what Jefferson
did, and for sixteen years after Jeffer-
son retired from the Presidency, his
principles, politics, and personalities
governed the United States. Yet JEFF
ferson sought no third term. He
wrecked no party except the party of
his opponents. He was a candidate
for no office He made no speeches.
He wore none OF the trappings Of COM
mand, but his influence as o private
was hardly less than his influence as
President, because oil men knew that

SAVE THE HORSES.

&; United States army officers have

Wilson and ask for an order prohibit
ing the expectation of mares for army
purposes: 49,
The Officers supplement- their rec
ommendaton withithe information that
the average life OF a horse in battle Is
only two days.
Agents of foreign nations are scour'
ing this country for horses for army
use and the warning given by the
army Officers should be needed. With
4 1e great loss OF horses in battle If the
deportation continues from this coun'
try the farmers will soon be facing dit
foulty. They cannot tend their crops
without horses and mules. Even If the
warts soon ended, the farmers OF TINS

A great deal OF the farm produce fos

tiiral pursuits, along with other busi'
ness will be seriously curtailed. Tho
crop acreage for this country next
year should be very much larger than
4 last year to keep pace with the foreign
demand, although last year was a rec
ord breaking crop year.
Meat packers are exporting a great
deal of canned meats from this coun'
TRY; Tor army use, which will no doubt
gadd very materially to tho high cost

price for ,breadstuffs caused by lack OF

Spiainiys seen that the situation the far
mer i'll facing may become quite

The farmers should hold on to their
4 horses and not be tempted by the
good prices that are being offered.
The American farmer is facing the
greatest opportunity he has had IN
years. He can buy land at reasona,
sble, prices and by keeping few head
sof horses with which to cultivate It
and with his cattle and hogs and poul'
trys coming along to help him out the
farmer should be the most independ'
entS ofS all our citizens.
Now; is the time for the farmer to
take courage and begin laying his
plans Is produce large crop next

action OF the Consolidation Coal

ing on the amount of its business Or
any thing else connected with that

surprise to all. None seemed to
know except the company that there
was such scarcity Of orders, as the
