FARM MORE AND
CUT LIVING COST
Col. Mott Points Out Great Agri'
cultural Opportunity Here

The development of the agricultural !
possibilities of the copper country, so
that this district may produce more OF
it's own foodstufrs and so that the en-
ployes OF the mines may be able to live
more cheaply was the plea of Col G..
w. Mott. secretary of the Upper PEN
nsula Development Bureau, in an in
teresting address last evening. Col.
Mott stated this is the natural home Of
clover. that the country il uneXcelled
for live stock, and that it produces the
finest potatoes i'm the world. It's fruit
lands are of great value. All that is
necessary is for men of capital and en-
terprse to clear away the stumps and
prepare the land for the farmer.
Figures presented by Col. Mott
showed that the copper and iron in
dustries of Michigan have produced
SS, 900, ,00O,0 of wealth. This great re-
suit has been possible only through
putting men Of recognized skill at the
head of the various enterprises. If the
agricultural development of the upper
peninsula had been pushed as aggres-
sivcly, by men as well skilled, as has
the mining industry, there would have
been produced wealth amounting To
S11 ,000, 100000 in addition to the min
eral wealth, i'm the same length of
time. combined production amount
ing to $4,000, 100000. which would
have made this country the richest in
the world.
Col. Motifs address will be presented
in more complete form at a later date.

Salem, Mass, June ga connagra-
ton which laid waste more than
thousand buildings in historic Salem
is burning itself out today i'm levelled
ruins. City officials after a careful
compilation of values, figured the to-
tai loss at ten millions.
The burned district followed the
lines of a rough semi-circle. three
miles in length and varying in width
from half a mile to a mile and a half.
Although many were injured. only
two lives were lost Ten thousand, one
fourth of the population, are home
less, and before the fire was fairly
checked relief measures and plans for
rebuilding We're under way.
Governor Walsh spent the night here
and announced that five thousand tents
and ten thousand rations would be
shipped to the city at once.
Noted Buildings Spared.
The more noted buildings and mu-
seums, with priceless collections and
antiquities, were spared. The birth
place of Nathaniel Hawthorn, the
House of Seven Cables" was threat
ened for a time.
The fire was started by an explosion
of chemicals i'm the Kern Leather Co.'S
plant and the flames ragged for ten
hours. This factory stood near the
foot of Gallows hill. famous as the
hanging place of witches" in the ear.
ly Colonial days, i'm the western end
of the city a high wind carried the
flames through the manufacturing dis
trict and thence southeast to the city
and across a thickly populated tene-
ment district to the water front.
Fine Residences Destroyed.
A shift of the wind sent the fire
northward along Lafayette street,
where scores of the city's finest resi-
dences were burned. The fire spread
to another manufacturing district on
the shore of the harbor and destroyed
large factories. In the intervening
area, scores of business houses were
swept away. The Salem hospital was
burned but the patients were removed.
separate fire, which the police say
was incendiary, destroyed thirteen
buildings in North Salem. Militia is
maintaining order. Martial law has
not been declared, however.
