TOTAL LOSS $4,000.
Operating Plant and Box Cars at Will
mansett, Mass, Burned.

Willimansett, Mass, Aug. 2l.--The
entire operating plant of the Holyoke
Box and Lumber company, five freight
cars loaded with lumber and consigned
to the company, and dwelling house
owned by Mary Burke close to the plant
were burned to the ground early last
night, with loss of $4,000 to $4,000
The blaze was most spectacular and
attracted crowd OF more than 10000
people. 1t started from an explosion in
the boiler room, in which fireman was
slightly scalded. Live Goals were scat
tered around and fire started at half
a dozen places.
On request OF the Chicopee fire depart
ment. the Holyoke department sent over
assistants, which saved two houses
threatened by the flames.
The barn and five horses were saved,
as well as the lumber in the yard some
100000 feet.
About 80 men were employed at the

war Affects Radium Production.

The European war has for the present,
at least, totally closed the European
market TO American radium ores As is
well known, the uranium ores OF Col
orado and Utah are sold exclusively for
their radium content, so little use being
known for the uranium that the ores
can not be sold for their content of that
element. The closure of the European
market leaves but one known buyer, so
that while the war lasts and probably
for some time afterwards the market
will be restricted and without the bene
tit Of competition.
Had the bills introduced in Congress
been passed, the United States govern
ment would probably also have been in
the market as buyer, and the miner
hight have had at least the choice be-
tween two purchasers.

The ancestors Of most of the Ameri-

to this country, not to seek their for
tunes, but to escape the expressions of
the House Of HohenzoIlern. Unlike
the latter immigrants from southern
and eastern Europe, the lure for en-
ployment at high wages and the lack
of it at home, was not the force that
brought them across the ocean, but it
was the love of liberty. They knew
they could find freedom in America the
freedom that was being stolen from
them by the Prussian crown. Hence

Portage Bay Route
 Receives Support

The Mining and Engineering World published in Chicago, has this to say concerning the new route from tide water to Portage Bay.
 Some excitement was caused by the discovery of a feasible railway route from Portage or Passage bay, on the west side of Prince William sound, to Turnagain arm. Here q rou.e was found which by use of a tunnel about 2 miles in length, will avoid the glaciers and yield To" grades for both in and out bound raffic. The distance from tidewater on Prince William sound to tideHa- ter on Turnagain arm is about F miles, and the proposed line will join the Alaska Northern railway at about mile 63. Official information regarding the availability of Portage bay as a terminal is still lacking, but private advices are favorable. By use of this route the distance from
 i1ewater to the Matanuska ccal fields is reduced to about 136 miles pith only one adverse grade and hat low one. The information a Nand indicates that this route is certainly worthy of careful considera tion."

 unciation of the trail and some de clared that they would not tempt to go in over the Seward trail un- less it was put in better condition.
 Al Wolf who has opened a road house at Mile 59, has been doing good work at the tunnels recently without compensation, and has no, lsked for any, being anxious t have he trail in good condition.
 movement is now on foo among some of the business men of Seward e raise a fund to be used in keep ing the trail in better condition
 The proposition is to use this money between the tunnels and Mile 71. It will not require a large amount, as all the men ask is sui ficient to keep them in grub and they will give their services gratis. Let every business man in Seward get in an subscribe to this fund, if hey hope to benefit by the travel over the SeWardIditarod trail.

Time Extended For
 Income ax Returns

Time allowed by the government for filing income tax returns has cen extended 30 days by order of David J. Williams, collector of In arnal revenue for this district. The raina limit for filing the returns was for March 1.
 1 he income tax laws provide fine of from $2O to $1 900 for failure to le the returns in time. Owing to delay in receiving the blanks here it would be a physical impossibilitN to get the returns to Seattle by March 1, and thus many people here would technically be subject to fines. Accordingly Attorney John A. Clark telegraphed Collector Williams con corning the situation, and the latter in turn sent the following wire to his deputy here. George Hutchinson:
 Hereby authorized to grant ex- ensions of 30 days from March in which to make income tax returns to all requesting same. Advise tax pavers make returns to your office, Give publicity and keep record of ote received and extensions grant cd, WILLIAMS,
