Our Losses by Fire.

II one could imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire in the United
States in a year arranged along n
highway, each building occupying a
lot siXty-five feet wide. the highway
would extend from New York to Chi
ago and the buildings would line 1t
Oh each side. Such is the calculation
of the department of the interior. Fur
thermore, Il person travelling this scene
of desolatiOn would pass in every thou
sand feet a ruin from which an injared
person has been taken. At every three
quarters Of a mile he would encounter
the remains of a human being who
had been burned to death.
For years, it is estimated, the amount
of actual property annually consumed
by fire In this country reaches $780,
100000. and another sun of about like
proportions is spent for the mainte-
nance of fire departments. waterworks.

Care Of Silk Stockings.

OF course you know that nothing,
however durable, will wear either well
or long if not cared for properly.
Silk stockings are no exception to this
rule. They demand proper care. First
and foremost, washing every time the
stocking is worn is almost imperative.
Precipitation tends to rot the fiber. con-
~sequently the little holes that pop
out so Unexpectedly. Make a lather
from a mild white soap, swish the
stockings about in it, rinse and iron
when quite damp. If the stocking is
only mercerized and you desire the
silky sheen, then rinse in water that
is a bit soapy and press damp. And a
word about mending: Silk on cotton
and cotton on silk is easy to remember
and a deal more satisfactory in the
long run.

Heavy Damages Asked

In an action filed in the district
court at Reno by Mark Walser
against r.. S. Page, Olive Page
and various members of the Doe
and Roe families, representing per-
sons unknown to the plaintiff, a
judgment for $35,0S6 is asked
against the defendants and appli-
cation is made for a receiver to
take change of property owned by
Page and his wife. The complaint
alleges that through a trumped-up
suit, filed by the Pages against
Walser and his partner, Frank Mar
grave, the price of Nevada Packard
stock was beaten from so to 35
cents per share and that as a re-
suit of this and other acts the
plaintiffs were damaged in the
amount asked.

DESCENDANT OF HERO
ENLISTS FOR THE M.AE
indicated Champion.

BUTTE, Mont, July 21.--Ethan
Allen, a direct descendant of the
original Ethan Allen of Fort Tt
conderoga fame, was accepted for
enlistment in the United States
Marine Corps here, today. He has
been principal of a school in this
state for the last three years. and(
has also taught in Ohio and North
Dakota.
Aliens enlistment recalls the
early days of American history
when Fort Ticonderoga was held
in turn by the French and British
until finally captured by his illus
trious grandsire in 1875. 1t is an
other reminder of the wiping out
of old differences between nations,
happily now serving together
against a common enemy.

The First Iron Bridge.

The first iron bridge ever erected in
the world and which is in constant use
at the present time spans a little river
in the county of Salop on the railroad
leading from Shrewsbury to Worcester,
England. 1t was built in the year 1I1S
and is exactly ninety-six feet in length.
The total amount of iron used in its
construction was 3IS tons. Stephenson,
the great engineer, in writing concern
ing it said, when We consider the fact
that the casting of iron was at that
time in its infancy we are convinced
that unblushing audacity alone could
conceive and carry into execution such
an undertaking."
