The big fire which visited Cam.
den Thursday morning Of last week
was exceedingly destructive. The
fire, it seems, originated in an old
shanty or stable that had been
permitted to stand near the splen-
did brick structure that was a vic.
tim to the flames. The bank,
pOstofice, telephone Office, S. j.
Peeler's law affice and fixtures,
books, ETC., and the Benton Coun-
tisn newspaper Office, were heav-
lest sufferers. Others sustained
losses. The loss is estimated at
$751; with but little insurance.

A COSTLY WAR

Many of our people are inclined
to believe that the war we arc now
in will be a war of short duration.
Some even 60 so far as to insist
that this appeal for preparedness
in the way Of providing foodStuffs
is only a scheme TO yet the far
mers to grow big crops so the non
producers will not have to pay so
high for the necessaries of life.
We believe both Of these opinions
are incorrect. Tho war will not
be one OF only q few months, and
the alarm with reference to food
shortage grows out of an actual
condition that confronts the coun-
try. Those best informed believe
it will be q costly war and that
three years may not see the end
Of it. President Wilson, Who has
. right TO be considered the best
informed man in the nation on the
situation, gave usterance. last Sat
urdsy, to the following statement:
Il believe that the American
people, perhaps. hardly yet realize
the sacrifices and suifeFings there
are before them. We thought the
scale OF the civil war was unprece-
dented, but 10 comparison with the
struggle into which we have now
entered, the civil war seems al
most insignificant ia its proper
tions and expenditures Of treasure
and of blOod.n
The president was speaking at
the dedication Of a Red Cross
building in Washington, when be
made use Of the above language.

Mr.. Wilson as tho nation leader
in the greatest war IN history,

alize.n

DENVER, August 26.-A crowd of
 between 50 and 100 soldiers, members of the Colorado National Guard late tonight wrecked the front of the store of the Colorado Candy company at Eighteenth and Curtis streets, near the heart of the downtown business dis trict, by hurling bricks through the plate glass windows. The Wrecking of
 the store front was a sequel to dis
 turbance at the same locality at mid
 night Saturday when a guardsman was evicted from the store.
 The soldiers had dispersed when police reserves arrived and no one was arrested.
 The attack on the candy shop to- night was apparently well organized. While the policeman on the beat was a block away reporting to headquar- ters by telephone. the soldiers, vari- ouslv estimated by spectators to num- Der between 30 and 100 men, marched
 at double time in columns of fours
 from a nearby alley where they had assembled and as they passed the store at a brisk trot each man hurled a brick through the plate glass win dow.

MYSTERY IN LETTER
 FROM EXPLORERS
 DYING IN JUNGLE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-Brad- ley Jones and Daniel NJ. Wise, noted scientists and explorers for the Car negie Institute who left this country last year for South America. were awaiting death in the heart of jungle near the head of the Amazon river on June 29, according to letter which reached here today. The message, mailed at Lima, Peru. gave no indica- tion of the destiny that met the two men.
 The letter written by Bradley Jones, was received by William B. Leahy, a business man here On it there was no indication of the identity of the person who mailed it: there was no message to tell what had been the fate of the two men; whether they had lived to mail the letters themselves. whether one of them had penetrated the thick growth that surrounded them, or whether both had perished, as they hinted in the letters, might prove to be the case
 In picturesque language the explorer described his condition. Opposite him sat his companion. Outside was the tangled jungle. Their supply and ann intuition had windled to nothing. Be- low them on the river were bad falls and worse Indians; to the east the country was impossible; a region in- fested with deadly poisons. The only way of egress was by canoe-theirs lay at the bottom of the Magdalena river.
 Three expeditions had preceded then 1 into the interior; two of them. the Page and Cromer party and the Sel- 1 jan industry never came back.

WASHINGTON, August 26. - An agreement by the country's beet sugar producers to limit the price of their product so as to effect a reduction or about 1 F cents a pound in the present price of sugar was announced tonight by the food administration with a notice to the public that this would mean a saving of s30,000,000 between now and January l, 1918. It also was announced that the wholesale grocers had agreed to limit distribution charges to prevent exorbitant charges.
 In the near future the administration will set the price at which wholesale sugar should be delivered at large con- suming centers The beet sugar price fixed is the equivalent of SIPS, cane sugar basis, f. O. b. seaport refining ports.
 Tn response to a request from the food administration said the admin istration statement, representatives Of 80 per cent of the domestic beet sugar industry of the United States have been in conference with the food ad- ministration in Washington during the past week. As a result of this confer ence the beet sugar producers reached the agreement to limit their price to basis that will make possible the s30, ,O00 900 saving to the public.
 "The representatives of these pro- ducers have pledged themselves to se- cure the active cooperation of the other twenty per cent of the beet in- dustry and have every reason to be- lieve that the action of the industry will be unanimous.
 This patriotic action of the domestic beet sugar industry in acting as 8 control over the price demand for i'm ported sugar, will contribute largely to
