en- to Get Work.

Interests desires to call 70 the atten-
tion Of real estate brokers and owners

by the Vacation War Relief Committee.
The work of this committee is being
directed by Miss Anne Morgan, Miss
Maude Whetmore and Miss Gertrude
Robinson Smith. The advisory coun-
ell. appreciating the distress and des-
titution which prevail in New YORK
this winter. is endeavoring to coop
crate with the various associations that
/ have been alleviating cases OF prlva-
/ tion.
The Vacation War Relief Committee
/ is adopting a very practical programme
which should particularly appeal 70
/ business men who are anxious TO assist
/ in work of this character. 1t primarily
/ gives employment TO women VINO nave
/ lost their positions because Of war con-
/ ditions and to the wives OF reservlsts
/ in finding permanent positions Tor
these women. Temporary employment
| is given to women who are out of WORK,
/ by having them make garments and
| hospital supplies for the European war
area. In this manner the Vacation
/ Committee gives employment to people
/ here in New York and simultaneously
relieves the deplorable conditions IN
Europe.
The members Of the Vacatip Com
mittee are particularly anxious to be
| informed by the various real estate
| companies and financial institutions IN
/ terested in real estate as TO any vacan-
| cies that may periodically occur IN
their clerical statFs, so that they may
| have An opportunity to NIL these posi-
/ tions from the lists OF unemployed

Peter NNillett, aged G3 years. was found
dead about $50 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing in his basement tenement at Is
battery street, where he was living alone.
II is thought he fell to the floor shortly
before midnight Monday soon after he
arrived home, the cause Of death being
heart disease. the man having had other
attacks.
Mr. Niilett was heard in the house by
others OIL the first floor about twelve
o'clock. lie evidently went in, locked his
door removed his coat and lit n lamp
which he placed upon shelf above the
sink. He fell on the other side of the
room below a window where he was dis
covered by Ernest Mercier, n nephew OF
Mrs. J. J. Farrell, who occupies the tene-
mont on the first floor. Mr.. Mercier was
coming down tho stairs. which are out
side the house, and. looking into the
window, saw Mr. Willett lying upon the
floor He tried to arouse tho man from
outside of the house and when he could
not summoned tho chief Of police. DIR.
r. w. Courtney was called but the man
had been dead several hours. 1t being
considered the man died of natural causes
no autopsy will be performed. The body
was taken TO Dryers undertaking rooms.
| There was plenty of wood and coal
and provisions In the house. On the
stove, in which the fire had gone out,
was a kettle which contained Il chicken
with n small piece carved from tho breast.

FATE or THE BONNER PARTY.
The Bonner party was made IN OF So
persons, with caravan of "prairio
schooners," cattle, etc. They had been
delayed by mishaps along the road and
by dissensons among the members OF
the party. 1t was October 81, 1876. when
they started up the steep slope on the
eastern side of the Sierra. Their progress
was slow, and several days later they
reached what is now known as Bonner
lake, In the area of heavy snowfall; this
fact they did not know. and due to their
being unprepared for such storms most
of them were lost
Those who visit this beautiful Lake dur
ing the summer can still see stumps of
the trees cut by members of the party.
These trees were cut at tho level where
a man stood, but during the summer
they are 20 feet in the air A number of
them are cut at about the same distance
from the ground, and they furnish con-
elusive evidence of the great depth of
the snow.
stripped this region of its terrors, so that
now the traveller simply wonders idly at
the peculiar appearance of building UNI
der huge cap of snow and dsmisses
the matter from his mind, for to-day this
snow Is valuable asset and is no long,
er an impossible barrier
The value Of the snow is due to the
fact that 1t accumulates in great guam
titles on n watershed. from which il
flows gradually, during long period
to the valleys. Often the flow IS stored
80 that 1t can be used as needed. This
water Is of value to tho irrgationist
who uses it for his crops; to the hydrau.
lie miner, who also uses the flow.
The great mass of snow is a most i'm.
pressive sight, even to the casual cb
server. But to the irrigationist, and tc
others, 1t means a profitable season. FOL

A preliminary statement of the results
of The census of steam laundr!es III YER

The figures arc preliminary and subject

found necessary from a further eXamina-
ton OF the original reports.
Strictly speaking. laurdries are rot
r1anufa curing establishments. but the
laundry industry has grown 80 rapidly
and become so important in recent years
that an industrial census would not he
complete without statistics regarding It.
The statistics are confined to power laun-
dries ana do not include figures for hand
laundries using no power. AS rule,
establishments included We're operated by
steam power and are known steam
aundries. In Some. however. steam and
electric power are combined, and in
others electric power is employed eXclu-
svely. steam and hot water being used
only for washing purposes. Tho figures
therefore, comprise all kinds of power
laundries
Laundry statistics We're first collected
in 1909 and comparison is made between
the figures for 1909 and 1914.
There were Al power laundrcs in Ncr-
mont in 1914 of which II were in cities
having an estimated population of 1000
or more. as follows: Burlington, D. Rut-

The capital invested. as reported In
, Gl.s per cent, over sl44393 in 1909. The
average capital per establishment was
