FIRE LAST NIGHT

DOUGLAS, Oct. 27.-At 10:30 last night and about the time honest folk were donning the unstarched robes of slumber. fire alarm was sounded and inquiry revealed the fact that two-story building on the beach a short distance north of the 300 Mill at Treadwell was on fire Bremen from both Douglas and Treadwell were soon on the scene and the blaze was held in check by the beach chemical com pany until the water could be ob- tained which was in a short time. Water from the Douglas salt tank and from the Treadwell line was soon being thrown and all danger of the fire spreading was past. The fact that there was sawdust between the ceiling of the first story and floor of the second made the fir difficult to extinguish and it was not until 1 o'clock this morning that the last ember had been ex- tinguished The building was owned by w. J. Arthur and occupied by John Miller, who was at work in the Ready Bullion mine when the fire took place. A defective stove pipe is believed to have been the cause of the fire.

FOOD SAVING FOR
 FIGHTING SOLDIERS
 AND FOOD PLEDGES
(By Miss Margaret Green)

(By Miss Margaret Green)
 Food Pledge Week will begin in Juneau Nov. End.
 Americas place in the industrial competition of nations that will fol- low peace will be determined in large part by the response that the American people will make in the Food Pledge Week campaign. This is the belief of the United States the thoughts that is spurring on It's forces in preparation for enrolling the familities of the nation in the cause of Food Conservation
 The idea that the purpose of food saving is not alone the present one of feeding our army and the allies is further developed by the belief of the Food Administration that wars are paid for out of the savings of the people. It is pointed out that the decision is up to the Amer ican people right now, whether they are to help pay for the present con- flict out of the savings of today or after the war by mortgaging the fI ture of the people. A saving of cents day per person will amount to $2,000 100000 year.
 We are in the midst of a strange phenomenon, the like of which has never occurred before in the history of the world Each and every one of us will feel the new condition It is we'll to prepare for what is coming For what is upon us. Let us look facts in the face. The time has come when the home must be put on war basis. Rations for our soldiers at the front and in training, why not for those at home. It is easy to do it once the habit is formed. An athlete goes into train ing before his contest He cuts down on useless feeding. eats less and better food.

ARRANGEMENT MADE FOR NIGHT SCHOOL
 TO START TUESDAY

DOUGLAS, Oct. 27-Judge Rob ert W. Jennings, by legislative en- actment ex-officio superintendent of night schools throughout his judic- ial division, has signed an order au- thorizing night school at this place, which school will start next Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock in the public school building at which time all who contemplate attending are urged to be present.
 Mrs. Coombs of Juneau. where she is now engaged as teacher of Span ish in the public school, has been designated as teacher of English, English history and Spanish in the Douglas night school and, in addition to these branches, shorthand and typewriting will also be taught by a competent instructor.
 All foreigners desiring to study English and English history are en- rolled as pupils free of charge to them, but those taking shorthand and typewriting will be charged a tuition just sufficient to pay the in structor, the amount to be- deter mined largely by the number of pupils engaging in these studies.
 There will be three trustees of the night school of which board Mrs. Coombs will be one member ex-of- ficio; Mrs A. M. Walker has been named as another by Judge Jen- nings and the third will be chosen by those constituting the school and it is hoped to be able to make such selection next Tuesday night when the matter of tuition will also be adjusted.
 Although there is nothing in it for him, Prof. Greene of the Douglas public school. has worked persist ently in the matter of organizing the night school, and it is wholly due to his efforts that it is soon to become a reality.

FIRE LOSS FALLS.
Efficiency of Force Increased and
Loss is Being Rapidly Reduced.

Loss is Being Rapidly Reduced.
The Maryland Board Of Forestry has
just made public the States losses
from forest fires for the proceeding
year. 1t is a record Of accomplishment
and proof of services well done. 1t
still being the fire season in much of
the State, these figures are particuli rly
of interest.
1t was not unusual, few years back,
for Maryland's loss from forest fires to
be quarter-million dollars annually.
In fact, as late as 1911, it reached the
figure of S226,O00, and though being
steadily reduced as the State Forest
Fire Protective organization grew in
strength of members, it was still in
1914 as much as $130, 900. Then it be-
gan to go down. The next year it was
about $40, 600 less, but it remained for
1916 to shove this total down and reg
lister knock out punch in one of the
most expe nsiYe, unnecessary leaks the
State has ever had And the present
is no time for leaks.
Taking three widely separated
counties, as far apart in location as
in the makeup of their timber, yet all
OF them with heavy forests which are
of greatest value and necessity to each,
we find Garrett with a damage in 1915
of $1,000 For 1916 this shrinks to
81, 500, the cost of extinguishing such
fires as occurred dropping at the same
time from 1892 to 1925. Fire damage
in Charles decreased within one year
from 81, 900 to $500, cost of fire fight
ing from $104 to Sill In Worcester
these figures continue, for while forest
fires in 1915 cost this county in damaged
timber the sum of 81, 500, it was reduc-
ed in 1916 to only $500. Results so uni
form over a great area prove that real
work was accomplished in the forests
of the State, since showings are as
uniform throughout.
In the State of MARYLAND, as a whole,
number of forest fires went down AZ
per cent. from 247 in 1915 to 1T in 1916;
damage, from Sl09, 600 to S29, 900. 27
per cent. cost of eXtinguishing, So, 300
to 81, 600, 81 per cent. acres burned over,
81, $40 20 $780, lowering of SO per
cent.
The actual returns-in timber saved,
lands kept productive, watersheds pro-
tected, and local industries sustained
are hard to estimate. No one can
doubt but that such service has real
money value to the State For such
/ showing there is some explanation,
naturally, While the two fire seasons
Of Spring and Fall in 1916 were not alb
normally dry, they were not at the
same time more favorable for fire pro-
lection than many which have gone be-
fore, and which have failed to make
these showlngs. It's rather to be laid
at the door Of increased efficiency in the
/ State organizations of Forest Wardens.
personnel which through It's commend
able zeal, continued interest, and in
creasing effective service is saving the
| State vast sums each year.
/ Their services are not expensive,
about a hundredth part of what they
save, but they are valuable. With the
same efficient efforts, and the solid
backing Of the public, they will keep
on guarding for the State one of It's
chiefest resources at a period when
such resources were never more i'm
