There was a drop of six per cent in
1915. but in 1916 prices advanced IA
per cent and during this year they
have jumped 33 per cent. Flour prices
in August were two and one-quarter
times what they were in August, 1918.
The increase was 100 per cent. Corn
meal advanced 80 per cent, potatoes
81 per cent, sugar II per cent, lard
~ per cent, and pork chops So per
cent.
During the year ending August Is,

Tulsa. Oct. 24.-Ross Shepherd and
Ben Hanes two members of the Tulsa
fire department, lost their lives in a
fire that last night destroyed a half
block of business houses on South
Main street entailing a loss estimated
early today at $475,OO0 Both men
were killed when a stairway in the
Mayo building fell pinning them un-
der the ruins. Neither of the bodies
has so far been recovered. The Ohio
building is a complete loss while the
Mayo building is damaged to the ex-
tent of 100000
The fire was the most disastrous in
Tulsa history and low water pressure
caused by a scarcity of gas made the
fire fighting a strenuous undertaking.

Contrary to a general impression,

are paid. Payments will be made to
the federal treasury department by
the railroads, the taxes being collect

states where other railroads maintain
their principal offices. While no an

be made thru the Topeka offices.
