Fairbanks-Advices received from San Francisco bring the information that the decision rendered by Judge Jennings of the First division. relating to the distribution of forest re- serve money, has been sus- tained by the circuit court of appeals. Following the action of the 1915 legislature, oppor- tioning the money equally a. mong the four divisions, suit was started in the First divis- ion in an effort to have the act declared invalid. Judge Jennings, however, ruled that the territorial lawmakers had not erred in that particular instance, and the case was then taken up on appeal.

Washington The depart ment of agriculture has issued a statement in which it esti- mated that the potato yield of the country this ear will be at least 467 100000 bushels. which is l00,000.000 bushels above the average for the past five years.

The enactment of the food control law also has had the effect of weakening prices in many lines throughout the entire country.

ARMOR PLANT BODY
Meets this WEEK
Congressman Russell Wires Com.
mericai Club TO Get
Busy Soon.

The commission authorized to select
the location for the Government armor
plate plant will meet on the second
or third day Of the coming year, Con-
gresham J. J. Russell has informed
the Commercial Club.
K. B. Oliver will go to Washington
the early part of next week, it was
said last night. He will appear before
the Supreme Court next week and then
depart for Washington to make the
preliminary arrangements to have the
commission consider Cape Girardeau.
The briefs in which the advantages
of the Cape are outlined have been
mailed to the two Senators of Mis-
souri, and also to all the members of
Congress from Missouri. They are
asked to help the Commercial Club
to land the project for the Cape.
The publication of the brief sent to
the commission by Cairo, which is con-
sidered the strongest competitor of
Cape Girardeau will have to overcome
in this industrial fight, caused con-
siderable comment among the business
men Of the Cape yesterday. Cairo's
brief is not considered quite so i'm
pressive as that prepared by the local
Commercial Club.
Two points only, the local mer-
chants say, have been emphasized in
Cairo's brief, that is its accessibility
by railroad and by steamer. Cairo
boasts of being situated on the mouth
of the Ohio and Mississippi river. 1t
places great stress on the fact that
it is the best railroad center of any
town asking for the 81 ,ooa, 900 armor
plant.
The merchants Of Cairo claim that
the Mississippi is not navigable north
of Cairo during the winter months.
They also point out that no other
town in the United States has such low
rates for freight shipments as Cairo.
The local business men who are
pressing this matter for Cape Girar-
deau are confident that the advantages
the Cape offers will offest the claims
of Cairo. The natural location of Cape
Girardeau is unsurpassed by any other
city.

CAPE COLORED Girl
BURNED TO DEATH
Body of Grace BOliingerW WIZ
Arrive From St. Louis
Today.

The body Of Grace Bollinger, a ne
gro girl, who was fatally burned in
st. Louis last Saturday afternoon
will arrive here today for burial. The
body will arrive on the noon train, and
will be taken to the home of the girls
uncle, George Bollinger, who lives on
South Frederick street. The funeral
will be arranged by Brinkopf Furni-
ture and Undertaking Co.
The dead girl was Is years old. She
was employed in st. Louis. Last Sat
urday afternoon she went to the base
ment of her home to look after the
furnace, and when she opened the
door, the flames shot directly into her
face and in a few seconds the girl was
a mass of flames.
She ran screaming into the kitchen,
where an occupant of the house threw
a blanket around her. She had suf-
fered such terrible burns that caused
her death few hours later.
The father of the girl was known
as Chap" Bollinger. He has been
dead for a number of years, ard since
his death the uncle provided for the
girl and her sisters and brothers.

fire HORSES Will
Be SHIPPED TODAY
Discarded Team viii Be Sold IN
ST. Louis-NO Bidders
Here.

The three horses OF tine old fire de
partmant outfit today will be shipped
to St. Louis where they will be placed
on the market. They are 4 part pay
ment for the new fire apparatus fur
nished by the Robinson Aanutactur-
ing Co. Owing to the fact that =
box car on the Frisco lines could not
be had. the horses viii be shipped
over the c. G. & y. and transferred
to the Iron Mountain.
An attempt had been made to sell
the horses IN the Cape IN order 20
save the shipping charges but bid
der could not be found.
The four firemen have advanced 30
rapidly in their lessons in operating
me two trucks, that they do not need
the assistance of the two expert dr.
vers longer. Clyde Terry will go To-
ST. Louis for New Years day. and wi.
most likely not return to the Cape.
Thomas LaughIin will remain here !
while longer.
The f-emen daily drive the two
trucks through the streets, sometimes
at topnotch speed, but they are not
familiar with the mechanical parts Of
the engine, and for that reason Laugh
lin vii! remain here for at least two
weeks more.
The old wagon probably will be left
here in the Cape. It was suggested
that the hose wagon he offered TO
South Cape. where 4 volunteer fire de-
partment has been organized. TEo
city has donated a line of hose to the
South Cape volunteers, and 1t was
thought that the old wagon will be
sent to South Cape.

COM'L CLUB CHIEFS
INSTALLED FRIDAY
New Secretary Will Be Elected
L. ". FIentge and j. F.
Seek Place.

Matters OF Importance VIII be Dis
cussed al the regular meeting OF the
Commercial Club Friday evening. The
giy-eicctcd officers Will be installed
nd = new secretary will be chosen.
Several candidates have been men
toned for the position, but it is now
thought that J. +. Martin, the present
secretary will be reelected.
Ex-Postmaster f. ". Flentge is q
candidate for the place. He has been
urged by friends to make the race,
and will be one Of the strong caDdi-
dates, it is said. The list Of appli-
cants for the secretaryahip will be
read at the meeting before any recon-
mcuda-ions are made.
The question Of securing the home
Tor the widows and orphans OF the
knights and Ladies' Of Security Will
he taken up by the CLUB.
Postmaster Judcn is making an eff
fort to have this institution brought
to the Cape. It IS said that il would
house more than 1900 children and
several hundred women. 4 meeting
of the committee which will decide the
location of this institution will be held
this week at Topeka, Hans. 4 dele
cation from the Cape will be sent
there to present this city's claims 10
the committee. 1t is said that two
OF the members of this committee,
which represents the national order,
are IN favor Of the Cape.
The improvement of the streets IS
another question to be discussed ut
the meeting Friday night. The proper
ty owners along Main street have had
several meetings in which the repay
ing OF several streets was a matter of
discussion, and the Commercial Club
will try to offer these property owners
assistance. 1t is thought that a con-
crete pavement will be adopted as the
rost suitable.
