Without losing a patient in the fire the main building of the Sisters hos pital burned yesterday afternoon at 3:S0 o'clock. Loss between s35,0O0 and S50,000 covered by about tWo- thirds in- surance.
 Plans will be formulated at meet ing to be held this morning at o'clock for the construction of a new building at a cost of $101.000. It is to be strictly fireproof. A $6,000 operating room will be installed in the Annex. which was entirely undamaged. at once In fact, the greatest loss in the fire is the old operating room with its collection of valuable instruments.
 The fire probably started from cleo tric wiring under the roof over the Operating room at the west end of the wing. There being no fire walls to stop it, the flames had run along under the roof clear around the big L. of the building and came out on Polk street. It was matter of minutes before the building was on fire from end to end
 Among the first to arrive were the high school boys, headed by the foot ball teams. Clad as they were, the play CTS rushed into the building and in real team play rescued a score of more of patients in the most seriously burning part of the structure.

Ambulances came from several places, the Moore and McLeiian machine being among the first to arrive.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Govern- ment supervision of oil and gasoline prices appeared as an early possibility tonight after the federal trade com mission had received cost of produc- tion figures from the larger producing and distributing concerns. The trade commission already has made a pre- liminary estimate of costs. but desired 10 give the oil men an opportunity to present their own statistics.
 The government can pursue two courses, either of which, officials be- ieve, will result in reduced prices not only to the governmenesbut to the pub lie. It can enter into voluntary agreement with the industry fixing prices, or under the food bill it can place the trade under control of the fuel administration, instituting a licensing system.
 The trade commissions investiga tion was undertaken at the direction of President Wilson along with in ,uiries into production cost of many other materials necessary in the con- luct of the war.

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 5.-Confirma- tion was received here tonight that Count Karl von LuXburg, former Ger man minister to Argentina, who re- gently was given his passports for his connection with dispatches sent through the Swedish legation to Germany, was spirited out of Argentina this morning in a police automobile in charge of a police captain, and rushed to Tigre, a suburb, where the former minister took a tug to Colonia, Uruguay. From there he proceeded by train to Montevideo, where he boarded a Spanish steamer
 He is said to have Spanish safe conduct which, according to diplomats, is sufficient to protect his person but not his papers, from capture. The stea1eer sailed later for Spain.
 F light was the only alternative for von LuXburg, as Argentina had de- hemaded yesterday that he depart from the republic immediately. Uruguay Chile and Paraguay had informed the Argentina government that the count was persona non grata to those coun- tries

More keen business men in Phoenix have a better idea of cotton in gen. eral and Pima cotton, in particular, to- day than they ever had before. They know more of it's history in the valley but most important, they know what it should bring on the market. They also know that there are millions in it."
 All this they know because mum Der of prominent local men, versed in cotton and its handling. and George Butterworth, pupil of Robert Street of the famous Manchester Spinners and a foremost authority, told them so at an extraordinary weekly luncheon of the Rotary club. MT. Butterworths paper is printed in full in The Repub lican this morning as worthy the read ing and study of every man in the valley
 President Christy of the club intro duced Dwight B. Heard as chairman of the meeting and MT. Heard stated that he would at once Init the balF' by giving some facts and presenting some speakers who would touch upon the Liberty Loan bond issue. He presented Lin B. Orme as the first to address the meeting and MT. Orme urged all to stand back of the Liberty Loan be- cause with boys giving their lives it is very little to expect those at home to give their money.
 Rossiter Mikel, sent here by the Twelfth Federal Reserve bank for work in the Liberty Loan drive, praised the spirit of the valley and city in the way it is taking hold of the Liberty bond problem.
 MT. Heard then told of the work Harry Tritle, as campaign manager for the Liberty Loan, is doing and present. ed Dr. Ancil Martin. as active manager of distribution of the bonds.
 Dr. Martin said that with $7,000,000 to be subscribed for in this state help is needed to do the work and every one present should state what day or

Concentrate on Sector
 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. ,, tBy the Associated Press) )-The southern extremity of the new battle front-the section eXtend- ing from the Ypres Menin highway northward by Polderhoek, Cameron Co., vert and Reutel-today continued to be the position to which the Germans were devoting most attention.
 This sector has been under an ex- tremely heavy enemy artillery fire since the British push started yesterday ana it seemed certain that the Germans would not let the last word rest with the series of counter attacks they de- livered or attempted to deliver, against this front yesterday ialte1noon and evening.
 Today the British were holding strongly to all the positions secured yesterday with the exception of a few advanced posts in a very small area of the Reutel region, where they drew back slightly after a third German counter thrust The Germans massed for several other attacks but all these were nipped in the bud by artillery and machine gun fire.
 The entire British line was remark ably well dug in by morning.
 Late details confirm earlier reports that the Germans did not fight well in most sections. In many places they ran. The total prisoners who surren- dered is great. On one sector of the Anzac front alone they amounted to more than 2,000. At a point not far from the Ypres-Roulers railway an Australian officer. single handed, took thirty -one Germans from block house.
 The tanks" again did we'll during the fight at various points. One of these monsters was the first arrival in the village of Reutel. When it was followed in by some infantry it trun- died back to other work. The British later withdrew their posts from the ruined hamlet to more favorable ground just behind. On the extreme left of the British attack tanks as- sisted in taking several redoubts which had been giving trouble with their machine guns.
 The scarcity of towns in the zone of yesterdays offensive robbed the fight ing of those spectacular features at tendant upon hand to hand work among shattered buildings.
 In the battle around Poelcapelle, how ever there was considerable sharp work. Six enemy battalions in the front line here all were killed with the rifle and machine gun fire or made prisoner.

KING COTTON FOUND W VALLEY BEST N
 WORLD, SAYS EXPERT

Pima cotton is king of them all. So said George Butterworth, the noted government expert, here in the valley to classify cotton for the Bureau of Markets. He said it to the Rotarians at the big meeting yesterday when King Cotton ruled and every phase of this big question was studied. MT. Butterworth has already classified 100 bales of cot ton. Seventy Of these he has called No. Pima. He has found fibre one and eleven sixteenth inches long, record, and since cotton is valued largely by the length of it's fibre, his finding is of the utmost importance. He showed samples of the best i'm ported Egyptian and Pima. The home cotton had the call by far in length and quality. He also showed that this cotton has 5.73 per cent less waste in it than Fancy Sea Island cotton even when the sample was merely of the Yuma variety, not so good at Pima. As to prices he said:
 "Last week Standard 3rd grade Egyptian, which l do not consider as good as fancy or Extra No. Pima. was quoted in New York markets at 65 to 70 cents, landed east. This shows what Pima should sell for in the valley.
