of the residents of Saxon were on
scene. The building was doomed
and burned to the ground and the
efforts of the fre-6ghters was
directed at saving nearby building.
Pat Auger's large general store is
on the same street with a space of
two lots between the store and the
building which burned. The store,
however, was not damaged, the
fire being confined to the one
building.

Shewas a most accomplished Young
lady, was reared in Saxon and had

The remains will be inferred at

George Newman had been a re-
sident Of Saxon since last fall. He
followed the work OF a camp cook
and came to Saxon from Wood
ruff. The names of the other two
men who lost their lives could not
be learned. They had been there
only for short time and no one
seemed to know anything about
them other than they were lumber
jacks.
Coroner Gutekunst and a jury

Pat Auger'S Saloon and Board
ing House Burned to
the Ground.
TWO unknown AMONG DEAD
Young Girl Seriously Burned Jumps
Through Window. No Hopes
for Her Recovery.

on Thursday night when Pat
Augers 5 saloon and boarding house
was totally destroyed, and in addi-
ton to the property loss four lives
were lost, and probably a fifth,
people who were inmates of the
building at the time.
The dead are:
Delida Auger, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Pat Anger.
George Newman, a camp cook.
Two unknown lumberjacks.
Annie Bauer, the maid, jumped
from an upper story window. She
was seriously burned and also re-
ceived injuries in jumping from
the building and yesterday morn
ing was taken to the hospital at
Ashland Word was received at
Saxon yesterday afternoon from
the hospital that there was no hope
for her recovery.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but is thought to have started in the
hall on the second floor, for when
rescuers attempted to climb the
stairs leading to the upper floor
they were met with a wall of flame
and there was no possible chance
of gaining access to the rooms OH
the second floor. The building in
which these people lost their lives
was a corner building, two stories
and of frame construction. 1t was
owned by Pat Anger, who conduct
ed a saloon and boarding house
therein The saloon, dining room
and kitchen made up the ground
floor and on the second floor were
twelve rooms for the accommodation
of boarders There were eight oc-
cupants Of these rooms, four of
whom escaped by jumping from
the windows, barely having time to
I escape i'll their night clothes. The
two girls, Delida Anger and Annie
Batter, occupied a bed in a single
room. George Lang, the bartender,
was engaged at cleaning up after
the day S work and another man
was in the bar room. Mr.. Lang
heard a tapping on the ceiling and
thinking that some person was
trying to gain entrance to one of
the rooms upstairs went to the
stairs door with the intention of
going to the second floor and max
ing an investigation When he
opened the stairs door the flames
burst out and he was unable to
make any headway. He immediate
" gave an alarm of fire and under
took to arouse the occupants Of the
rooms. The building was aflame in
the twinkling ofan eye, the avenue
Of escape through the medium Of
the stairs was cut off to the occu
pants Of the rooms and the only
way Of exit was through the wind
ows. There We're windows in every
room, Oh all sides of the building
The maid stated that when she dis
covered the FIRE She opened the
door of her room, rushed through
the flames and plunged headlong
through the window in the front OF
the building. She did not know
whether her companion made any
effort at escape, but it is thought
that Miss Anger was unable to get
out of her room and perished there.
Her remains were fonnd lying on
the spring Of the bed which she
had occupied.

INCREASING POTATO CROP.
Growers Pay Too Little Attention &c
the Seed They Use.

Washington.-The American potato
grower is charged with paying too lit
tie attention TO the selection of seed
potatoes by the department of agricul-
ture In a statement declaring that by
the use Of high grade seed the returns
from the crop would be increased by
many millions OF dollars.
The increase that might be expected
from the use Of high grade seed is CON
servatively estimated at not less than
10 per cent. Such an increase, based
on the average production or the aver
age production of the last FIVE years,
says the statement, would AMOUNT to
over 100000 bushels, having an ap-
proximate value of $21, 000, 900.
OF the many causes which operate to
produce a low average potato yield In
the United States, 1t is pointed out, inn
pure seed Is an important one. Euro
pean potato growers, especially those
of Great Britain and Germany, pay the
s~trictest attention to the quality CT the
seed used.

OUTDOOR SCHOOLS
FOR CHILDREN BENEFICIAL TO
THOSE WHO ARE OF TUBER-
CULAR TENDENCY.

Washington, May 9.-That school
children who are taught in fresh air
class rooms advance more rapidly in
their studies and make greater i'm
provement in weight and strength
than children in regular class rooms.
is a conclusion demonstrated by
Frank II. Mann, of New York, be-
fore the sociological section of the
National association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis. The
speaker reported on a series of ex-
periments carried on Jointly by the
New York committee on the proven
ton of tuberculosis and the board
of education i'm which three groups
of children were studied to note the
effect of fresh air upon them. In
one group, the children were plac-
ed in fresh air classes and were fed
during school hours with milk and
crackers morning and afternoon: in
the second group, the children were
placed in fresh air classes but were
not fed; and in the third group, the
children were left in the primary
class room under regular conditions.
Every effort was made to eliminate
or equaliZe in the comparison such
variable factors as age, home condi-
tons, nativity, etc. The two groups
of children in the fresh air classes
were all undernourished and amaze
mic at admission.
The results of this experiment ex-
tending from September to June.
showed that all of the poorly our
ished and anaemic children in the
fresh air classes gained in weight.
red corpuscles in the blood, general
nutrition, and physical tone. The
gains were made for the most part
Independently of the home environ
ment and of the financial condition
oil the children's family, suggesting
that the association between poverty
and malnutrition in the school chill
dren is not so close as has been COM
monty assumed, and that the cases
of extreme poverty with lack of nee
essary food at hime are not nearly
so prevalent as has been frequently
stated. 1t was also demonstrated
that, even without school feeding.
fresh air classes can be run with ad-
vantage to the children of poor fam
lilies. although the greatest benefit
was obtained when extra feeding
was employed.
"All lines of tuberculosis activity
lead more or less directly back TO
the great truth that most of the i'm
plantations of this disease occur in
childhood" was the declaration of
DR.. William Charles White, of Pitts
Durg, another speaker, in arguing
that all movements for the better
ment of children should center in
the anti-tuberculosis organization.
DR.. White pointed out that anything
which anti-tuberculosis societies did
for the welfare of the child was a
direct contribution to the prevention
of tuberculosis. DR.. John b. Halves,
second secretary of the Massachus-
etts trustees of hospitals for con-
sumptiyes, Boston, declared that di-
rect infection of children by their
parents OF other members of the
family who have tuberculosis is very
largely responsible for the spread of
the disease.

RADIUM ORE VEINS
IN SILVER MINES
TO Supply the World"
Says Commissioner.

Denver.-"Colorado has enough radi-
um bearing ore to supply the world"
says Thomas II. Henahen, state com
missioner OF mines, in announcing that
carnotite has been found In considera-
BILE quantities in the silver ores of Eagle
county, In the western part Of the
state.
IF you had told me a month ago
that carnotite and silver could be
found together | probably would have
laughed at you" he said. But it Ger
tainly is mixed with the silver In the
Eagle ores. OF a shipment OF twenty
five tons Of ore recently made. five
tons were %carnotite.
"The shipment gave elght-tenths OF
/ per cent Of uranium, from which
radlum Is extracted. 1t is probable
that IL the c~arnotite ore had been ship
ped by itself without mixture, it would
have shown 4 per cent uranium"
The discovery Is the first of carno-
tite In veins underground. The car
hottie which has been located in Mon
trose and other counties composing
what is known as the "radium field
has all been on the surface. In Eagle
county the %carnotite is mixed with the
silver ore in the underground veins.
The pitchblende Of Gilpin and Clear
Greek counties has hitherto been the
only underground radium bearing ore
found in the state.
A report In regard to the number of
radlum claims located In Montrose
county states that ninety-seven have
been located in the county this year
in comparison with 105 In 1913. Up to
Dec. 81, 1913, there had been in all 196
claims filed In the county.

MINERS BLAME
ROCKEFELLER
Say BloodShed in Colorado
Was Unnecessary.
PEACE OFFERS REJECTED
Executive Committee, in Session at
at indianapolis, Denounces Brutal
ity IT Gunner and Pledges Support
of Organization to the Strikers.

indianapolis, Ind, May 9.-John ID.
Rockefeller. Jr., could have prevent.
ed the loss of life in Colorado by IA
yoring a settlement of the coal strike
through a meeting of the operators
and miners, according to a statement
issued by the international executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America, In session here.
The statement also declares that
there can be no turning back or
turning aside. The sacrifices already
made are too great"
The statement reviews the strike
and continues:
we deplore the loss of life, acts of
violence and destruction of property
which have taken place. We are for
peace and the establishment of right
relations between employers and en-
ployes. We have exercised our efforts
at all times toward righteous deal
ing3."
The miners asked for a conference
time after time, it is said, and quit
work only after they had been refused
a hearing repeatedly.
Brutality OF Gunner.
"A long list of prosecutions cul-
minated in the massacre of Ludlow
on April 90. The brutality of the
gunner seemed at that time to have
reached its climax. After the battle
was over eleven children, ranging in
age from six months to ten years,
and two women, whose bodies were
blackened and burned were taken
from the smoking ruins of their de-
stroyed homes.
This is an awful sacrifice, all of
which could have been avoided If
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., who oceu-
pies such a powerful position in the
financial world, would have spoken
one word, favoring a settlement
through a meeting between the rep
resentatives of the coal companies
and the representatives OF the strik-
ing employees.
With resolute purpose and firm
determination the United Mine Work
ers of America hereby pledge them
selves to support the mine workers
in Colorado and aid them as long as
this contest goes on, even though 1t
lasts for a period of ten years, until
their rights are recognized and an
honorable wage settlement brought
about"

Farmer Promised Johnny" All the
Money That Had His Name on It
Now His Name Appears on All Bank
notes-Thousands Printed Each Day
at Washington.
New York. John Burke, United
States treasurer, made a bargain near
ly fifty years ago by which he was to
be paid a bonus on his services for
work done at that time, when there
seemed little hope of its fulfillment.
When Chester Ferry has fulfilled his
part of the contract with Mr.. Burke
he will make the latter easily the rich
est man in the world, says the Tribune
of this city.
Burke hired III when a boy not yet
ten years old to husk corn for a neigh
boring farmer and received for his
pay the small sum OF so cents a day.
When the time came for his employer
to pay him for his seasons work Ferry
said:
Johnny, | want you to know that
what / can afford to give you now for
your work l regard as insufficient pay
! nm sure you will think that you have
earned more. for you have been dill
gent and p%ainstaking and have never
complained. So while j can pay you
only 80 cents a day for your time I'll
agree to hand over to you In the future
all the money you can show me with
your name on it."
II accepted his proposition" says
Mr.. Burke, "but | gave 1t little con
sideration during the intervening years
until the beginning of the present ad-
ministration, when | became treasurer
of the United States. Then the episode
came to mind. and | have written 10
Mr.. Ferry. reminding him of his obli-
cations"
This Is the letter In part:
When we lived neighbors on adjoining
EARNS I'm German township and I was a
little mite OF ten you frequently en-
ployed me In corn husking and corn plant
Ing times and on various other occasions.
for which services you paid me 50 cents a
day. You will remember, however. that
at the time of settlement you assured me
that you We're not certain that 80 cents
WIS Il sufflCieut remuneration Tor my SerN-
Ices and that In addition to the paymen
OF 80 cents a day you were TO turn over
TO me all the money that you got with my
name on II. which agreement was perfect
ly satisfactory to me and was duly ac-
cepted at the time.
Fearing that You may have forgotten
this obligation on account Of lapse OF
time. ] am calling your attention TO IL
now, for of course l know that all that Is
necessary for me to do Is simply TO call
your attention to IL. that your part OF the
agreement viii be faithfully Kept.
