berjacks, who, for a time, threatened
to strike when orders were issued at
the camp of the Park Falls Lumber
company that all employees must take

light their pipes from flames of an
oil lamp.
Next the company installed steam

this. II eliminated the old stove they
had been accustomed to collect
around and expectorate against.
AS a climax the company erected a
steamroom and ordered all camp
hands to visit it once a week. The
Jacks protested vigorously. and for
a time threatened to strike. The in
dustrial commission advised the men
to try II a while and they consented.
Experiment convinced the men they
could survive the ordeal.

BIG FIRE AT
FORT MADISON
AtIee Apartments Completely Destroy
ed and Many People are Home

FORT MADISON, Dec. 23.-One Of
the worst fires in the history of this
city occurred Thursday evening when
the Atlee flats at the corner OF Fourth,
and Market were completely destroy
ed by flames. Early in the evening
the entire frame top of the building
was mass of flames and the result
from the start was inevitable in spite
of a most valiant fight by the central
fire department, the volunteer flremen
and a number of citizens who volun-
tered their services in the hopes of
checking the consuming flames.
\ The 'firemen worked under many
difficulties: The cold weather froze
the clothes on their bodies the in
tense smoke and smothering gas
drove them back time and again just
when they had the hose lines where
they could do the most good. 1t was
a losing fight from the first, but the
fire ladies put up the fight of their
lives and battled hard to the last.
The loss tell most heavily on the
residents OF the large apartment build
ing, as much personal property was
destroyed by fire and water. and still
great deal Of furniture was smashed
in removing from the building, and
seek shelter under the roofs Of friends
and nefghbors.
The fire started from an overheated
furnace. and when the alarm was
sounded at about Ais it was thoeghI
that the blaze was confined to the
basement. -Fhe firemen. after SOME
difficulty in locating the blaze In the
basement through the dense volumes
of smoke, succeeded in extinguishing
the fire in the basement. only to dis
cover that it had broken out in the
second story in the apartment in the
center of the building occupied by
Barney Hunter. How the flames got
from the basement to the second floor
is matter of considerable doubt.
but it is thought that there must have
been sort OF air passage between the
walls. or that the flames went
through the air pipe.

PRICES BOOSTED
OVER IN JAPAN
Increase Is Average Of Thirty Percent
Since Some Of the People
Have Become Rich.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
TOXIC, Dec. 8.-(By mail. 1.-THE
high cost of living has invaded Japan
la country long famed for feeding
and clothing its people on mere
pittance.
Estimates made today by econom-
lists were that prices ofsall kinds Of
goods had made increases on an
average of 80 percent Staple COM
modities, daily necessities which the
people demand, are included in the
general cost. The rise in the market
price of rice was not unexpected at
this time OF the year. but agitators
against the new order of things point
out that sugar has increased nearly
30 percent; salmon, SO. to 100 per-
cent; grain and canned goods, 10 to
20 percent; and fuel, 20 percent The
cost of wearing apparel has also
risen.
The war is declared by economists
to be the cause of the increases. As
japanese industry is fully engaged
and workmen's wages have risen, the
high prices have not the disastrous
effect they would work in normal
times.

we give is satisfying for longer period.
Christmas has become prominently the festi-

the battle torn fields and in the SCARED cities
