FIRE LOSES were
LOWEST SINCE 1907

With fire losses for 1913 Of $3,42o, S41
Minnesota makes the lowest fire record
since 1907. according to figures tabulat-
ed by J. A. o. Preus, state insurance
commissioner. This table shows that
there has been a sharp decrease in fire
losses in the az two years as COM
pared with the previous two years.
These results are believed to be due
in a great measure to a campaign for
fire prevention conducted by the state
and local authorities in cooperation
with the insurance underwriters n
others interested in the reduction of
the great annual waste by fire.
Following are the official figures Of
the fire loss in Minnesota for the last

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb. '3.-Wheat: Lost
ground today closing 1-2c to 5-Sc low
or after a show of early strength. The
most important feature of the day was
the working of additional amounts Of
hard wheat to come to this market.
Nebraska sold this wheat freely and
even Kansas City made sales to come
to this market. Foreign markets fail
ed to follow our advance of yesterday
and Broomhall notes hat Russian Of
ferinGs increased with but one outlet
for surplus of winter wheat, it seems
inevitable that declines must be ex-
perienced to permit of the marketing
of this wheat.
Corn-Longs in corn become dis
couraged over the continued absence
OF cash demand n prospect of in
creasing receipts. The utter absence of
eastern and export demand is probably
responsible for lack of shipping call
here, and the holder of the large stocks
of cash corn in store is finding ex-
IRENE difficulty in marketing even a
small portion of his holding. 1t will
not do to become too enthusiastically
bearish on breaks but on all upturns
we would sell the deferred futures es-
pecial1y.
Oats-A little selling pressure found
buying power greatly restricted and
prices quickly scored Lee loss and clos
ed practically at the low point.

SILVER MAY BECOME MONEY
OF final REDEMPTION

Silver must ultimately be the
money of redemption, and probably
the world over, was a remark made
Monday by Layfette Holbrook, a
director of the Grand Central Min
ing Company, and one of the best
known mining operators Of the
State. 81 may be q little too opti-
misric, but / shall not be surprised
to see silver reach rs cents an
ounce in the worlds adjustment
which must come.
There is not enough gold in the
world and it is becoming carce
every year. There is ample silver
to answer the requirements of COM
merce of ALL nations, and the indi-
cations are that there always will
be. The great financiers of the
East complain of the useless trouble
and expense of forever carting gold
bars from one side of the ocean to
the other according to the way the
balance of trade trends. Silver
with the impress of any govern
ment upon it, will prove more sta
BILE. 1t will remain in the country ;
it. will be much less liable to be
carted from country to country by
the whims of trade.
Unquestionably there must come
q great readjustment Of our world
monetary system. With the in
creased demand for gold in the
jewelry and allied trades, that
metal will become scarcrr and
scarcer. This condition is at pres.
ent augmented by the decrease
every year in the worlds produc.
tion of the yellow metal. In time
] believe the world will be forced
to the silver standard. Silver would
require a little more space, but it
could be stored in the vaults for
emergencies the same as gold of
today. With its advance to the
old 6gures of rs cents to 81 an
ounce it would again assume its
rightful role of a real precious
metal.
Under such desirable conditions
anyone a see what the result
would be to mines in Utah and
the other great mineral producing
states. I expect in the very near
future to see silver advance to such
prices that our local mines will re-
ceive a forward impetus they have
not experienced in years."-Sslt

NOW A CoLLAPsIBLE BRIDGE
Ono Has Just Been Built In Philip
pines That Defies Floods So
Frequent There.

A so-called collapsible bridge has
been designed by the bureau of public
works for use in the Philippine
islands, where there are streams car
rying just enough water to be I'M
fordable. These same streams, ac-
cording to Engineering News, are sub
ject to floods Of extreme height and
force, which carry down large quanti-
ties of brush and trees. 1t is neces-
sary to provide some crossing, but
money Is not available in sufficient
sums to permit the construction of
bridges permanent enough to with
stand the extreme flood conditions.
The new "collapsible" bridge Is es-
sentially a series Of pile timber bents,
carrying short span timber Orders and
floor, which are attached to cables
reaching to "deadmen" on the shore.
In general the girder and floor sys-
TEN Is broken In the middle OF the
bridge, and the cables extend from
either side Of the river to a point mid
way. During a flood the floor and
girder are torn from their insecure
fastening to the bent and swing down.
stream, attached to the cables. After
the flood has passed the floor system
Is loated upstream and placed again
upon the timber bents.
One such bridge was recently built
at Gapan across the Penaranda river
In the Philippines, and 1t is giving
good service. The Penaranda river
has a flood width OF 1,64O feet, but it's
low-water width is somewhat under
300 feet. The bridge constructed for
this site Is 800 feet long and is made
up Of 16 20-foot spans.
