CAUSE
heavy
10 s.

With loss estimated at $780,
900, the monster packing depart
ment of the Carstens Packing
company, located on the tide
flats, near the middle waterway,
was totally destroyed by fire
early this morning.
Firemen with seven engines,
pumping 20 streams of water,
were able to gain control of the
flames after several hours des-
perate fighting, and confined
them to the main building of the
plant, saving the offices and aux
Hilary structures.
Night Waterman T. II. Magnus-
sen discovered the fire ON the
roof of the lard refinery at 1880
o'clock.
Nine Companies Respond.
Nine companies of fire appara-
tus responded. Six steam pumps,
with the big gasoline pump,
fought the flames from 1880
O'Clock until a late hour this
morning the fire continued to
burn.
Property of the st. Paul mill
and of the Standard Oil COM
pany, adjoining the packing
plant, was not damaged by the
fire. Several head of cattle in
pens across the street from the
packing plant we're stampeded.
Two Big Fires.
This mornings fire is the sec
ond disastrous tfdeflats fire in
four days. The long dock and
trestle of the st. Paul mill was
destroyed by fire Saturday morn
ing, with a loss of $4,000.
Little Insurance.
Practically none of the loss is
covered by insurance. There was
a 81, 600 policy on part of the
building that would have expired
at noon today. This is all that
Thomas Carstens, president of the
company, will be able TO collect.
May Not Rebuild.
Carstens has been anxious to
remove his plant to an Eastern
Washington location, and it is
doubtful whether he will rebuild
in Tacoma. Among the losses
were 5000 worth of beef, killed
yesterday.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The state department late this afternoon receiv- ed wire from American consul Letcher, who has been making the most strenuous efforts to come up with Villa and to arrange for a peace able settlement of the question of the eXhuming of the body of the English nan Benton. in order that the United States could satisfy the demands of the British government that an autop- sy be made at once.
 The message from the American consul stated that he had had an in- terview with General Villa and that tho general had consented to the dis interment of Bentons body, but thai he made it condition that only two Americans, two members of Benton's femily and two physicians be permit ted to view the remains.

FAMOUS LADY
 DRIVERS RACE

While all of the race followers of Nome were waiting for the great race tomorrow which seems to depend on the condition of the trails there was another race. equally as great, which was pulled off in spite of soft trail and overflows and the dangers of the course.
 This was a race which has hitherto not been down on the list of regular sporting events of the winter sen son. but from now on 1t should become one of the events of the year and next time it is eXpectedf that the exciting contest will not be slipped over on an ursusnecting public without due mo- tice
 The race today was between teams driven by Mrs. George I.omen Mrs Robbie Brown. Mrs. Russ Downing and Mrs. J. IT. Scott
 The course was laid from the Brew cry to Little creek roadhouse and back and considering the conditions of the trails it was quite a run being fully six miles over the Little creek trail each lady driving three dogs.
 The teams got off in a bunch at 12:45 to the dot and whrled down the trail like the chariots of ancient Rome tore over the course at the great cir GUS in the imperial city.
 At Dry creek Mrs. Lomen lead by q small margin with Mrs. Brown rum ming Il close second. Mrs. Downing and Mrs. Scott were punched at the creek but in the overflow they both had q little trouble and Mrs. Down. ing pulled ahead of Mrs. Brown on the hill.
 The leaders were running neck and neck with Mrs. Lomcns' Rex-dog and Mrs. Browns Mick digging in like the leaders of an "AIl Alaska" J. Rufus Wallingford;. Mrs Downings' leader. had get rich quick scheme which he imparted to Mrs. Scotts Patsy as they tore up the hill, so close were these two teams running.

NOME SCHOOLS ARE
 THE EQUAL OF ANY

That the public schools of Nome are considered to he as we'll equipped and hs capable of providing an education for the pupils as any schools in the country is conclusivcly proved by let trrs recently received by Superintend- ent karrer
 The people of the town of Nome. no matter what other conditions may be. may well be proud of their schools when such institutions as the Univer- s:ty of Minnesota and the University of Michigan. the latter one of the greatest educational institutions in the country, are willing to admit gra adu- ates of the Nome high school to their departments of literature art and the sciences without examination
 The Nome schools have heretofore been recognized in this manner by the leading universities of the Pacifc| coast but this is the first time that the fame of our local institutions has gone so far afield. The next step will be the same recognition by the great eastern universities, Princeton. Yale 'rd Harvard and when that comes there will be no public schools in the United States that stand higher in the educational world than do the schools of Nome. Alaska.
 That is a record that the town may we'll be proud of for this is q time when education is one ct the things that the world lays great stress upon and the progress and civilization of a country is shown by the excellence If it's public schools.

 That seemed to have quieted the clamor from England and 1t was no H"' n"r arranged than the state ds- r rtm"nt discovered that to send an q med escort into Mexico with the English consul might be construed by ih, MeNiCans as an act of war Then the arrangements was hastily called of and England was told that the United States would investigate at scmr future time.
 According to the English press that has been the great trouble all along. The United States is just about to do something at some future time and tn" English press and people are de- manding that something he done at orce.
