Fire broke out in the crusher build
ing Of the Empire Zinc company's
plant about $3.50 o'clock Sunday after.
noon and did considerable damage be-
fore il could be extinguished, but was
not sufficiently disastrous to long in
terfere with the regular business Oh
erations OF the company The fire was
very stubborn one TO combat and
lasted couple of hours or more in
spite of the st,ong efforts made ta
bring 1t under control. A large crowd
of people was attracted to the plant
by the threatened confiagration and
valuable assistance was extended by
il in the suppression of the flames.
The company appreciates very much
the work of the members of the vol
unteer fire departments OF Canon City
and South Canon and the regular paid
department of Canon City. 1t is also
grateful 10 all others who helped in
any way TO prevent the spread OF the
flames and in the salvaging OF prop
erty. Mr. Beall. superintendent of the
plant, stated this morning that people
CO operated in the most generous man
ner in an ehdeavor to reduce the
company's losses to a minimum.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
but il undoubtedly is to be accounted
FOR by natural causes In speaking of
that feature Mr.. Beall said. 1T was
one of those unavoidable accidents
that could not be foreseen. lncend.a
ism is not at al suspected"
The loss resulting from the fire will
be several hundred dollars, but any
thing like an accurate estimate is i'm
possible a. the present time. The
crusher building. where the trouble
was. is the most westerly Of the
group of structures at the Empire Zinc
company's plant
The fire department received per
mission over the telephone line from
Mayor Cooper to make the trip out
side the city limits and was on the
scene in n remarkably short time. 1t
was the longest run the department
ever made. The water coming into
contac, with the hot mineral concer.
t-ated in the ore bins developed gases
which produced an explosion that sent
tbe fumes of sulphur in every direc-
'iop. but withou, injury to anybody

noticeable. however. that this does
not detract from their full allegiance
to the government that has received
and nurtured them.
There must be more than this to
make up the true American type.
There must be first Knowledge full
realization OF the superiority of our
institutions: full appreciation of the
great benefits that we as INDIvIDU-
AIS have received and are continual
Iy receiving from them. Add to this a
carefully cultivated sense of gratitude,
and the country will be safe in the
hands of its citizens.
In past years much as been said of

has come when we must emphasize
the DUTIES of the people to the gov

great privileges.

tion for factory but 1t win be neces

There should be no difficulty in se-
curing this amount of land undor con.

YOU WILL HAVE TO GET YOUR
CHRISTMAS PACKAGES MAILED
EARLY IF THEY GET THERE

Washington. Nov. 5.-After a con
ference with railway superintendents
Mr.. Otto Praeger. second assistant
postmaster general issued this state
ment 10 the public:
THE Christmas season his year
will have an added interest for the
American people There will be the
usual seasonal greetings and remem-
brances a, home: aE in addition
there will be messages and remem-
brances TO perhaps 2.ooo 600 men in
the Army abroad and in the canton
mcnts in this country. The postoffice
department viii be called upon to
handle practically two Christmas mail
ings-one on November 18th. for the
troops IN France and the sailors with
the 6eet in European waters The
second viii be the usual heavy Christ
mas movements for the homes. and
this year. in addition. for the canton
ments.
This double Christmas will dcyolve
a great burden on the transportation
systems Of the country: and consid
ering the heavy demands imposed up
on the railroads by these conditions
II becomes the patriotic duty of every
citizen to ease the burden of iranspor-
;stion By mailing Christmas packages
early. A weeks ieeway for the reg
uiar Christmas mailing Is not too
great. in view Of tho heavy pressure
on all transportation lines. The rail
roads of the country are making sac
rifiees and have announced the fullest
cooperation with the postofice de
partment in handling this years mail.
