DINING HALL FELL
Church Workers Caught In Collapse
of Building


Not less than a half dozen men and
boys were injured Wednesday night
when dining hall under construction
at the state fair grounds collapsed.
Fifteen men were working on the
building, which was to be owned by
the Walnut Grove NJ. e. church. DIR.
c. e. Brown, who was on the grounds
at the time of the accident, attended a
number of the more painfully injured.
None of the injuries were of a serious
character.
The church had arranged to install
dining room at the fair grounds and
volunteer workmen from the church
membership offered to do the car
penter work. The roof OF the build
ing was practically completed when
the structure collapsed, catching sew
erai of the men under the debris.
Several other men working on the
building suffered painful bruises and
minor cuts. None of the workmen
| were taken to the hospital.
Members of the church in a number
! of instances were today reluctant to
discuss the accident, and several mem
bers refused to give details or names
| of persons injured.
All of the fair contract work has
| been done on the grounds this year by
union labor. The church building was
under construction by a mixture of
union printers. union plumbers and
| non-union clerks and office men. No
| mention has been made of whether
| there were any carpenters on the job
| or not.
Among the persons more painfully
| hurt were:
Thomas Potts, 1925 Harrison street,
right ankle wrenched and bruised.
E. K. Gleason, HOP Kansas avenue
hgaments of right arm torn and body
| bruised.
Fred c. Clark, 2017 Van Buren,
| street. face cut and several teeth
knocked out.
Walter Winters. Fifteenth and Har-
| rison. head and shoulders bruised and
neck wrenched by falling timbers.

Some measure of the remarkable
response of the agricultural sections
of the United States to the demand for
increased food production for this
country and our allies is reflected in a
report showing that one source alone
the life insurance companies
loared a net increase of nearly Two
hundred million dollars to the farm
ers during 1915 and 1916. Besides
this. new loans totaling two hundred
million dollars were made by the
same companies during the fest nine
months of 1917. When to this huge
sun is added the amount put cut by
the government land loan banks, other
banks and private individuals. it viii
be seen that the farmer has been
rallying to the call of the world for

IRELAND REFORMS
 FARMING METHOD

DUBLIN.-The Irish farmer in the past has been in the habit of growing excellent oats. The oats are then exported to Scotland and imported back again to Ireland in the form of oatmeal for his food and of by-prducts as food for his catle The thrifty Scotchman makes handsome profit out of it.
 The war promises to change this very uneconomic Irish method and induce the Irish farmer to do better for himself. In many districts grain mills are being erected in Ireland. About seventy cooperative societies have now oat mills and flour mills of their own. One society of Sir Horace Plunkett's organization in Kerry borrowed two thousand pounds from the bank and started a mill and worked the grain to the utmost extent so that the members obtained excellent flour for their families and feeding stuff for their cattle and pigs. The result is un- precedented prosperity in the dis trict.
 The old grain milling business of Ireland was lost to the country be- cause the millers would not change their methods and use up-to-date machinery and plants. Now there is healthy change of feeling, stimulated by the needs of the war.

MARSHAL ERWIN
 SAYS ALASKANS
 ARE IN CLOVER
U. s. Marshal L. T. Erwin Tells of Conditions In the States;
 High Prices Rule.

United States Marshal L. T. Erwin was passenger on the steamer Panama bound for Fairbanks, whith- CT he is returning after a business trip to the States. For part of the time he spent on the Outside the marshal was under the care of the doctor. During the stay of the boat he was seen around town look ing up old friends. He resumed the voyage this afternoon.
 In an interview accorded a News representative, Marshal Erwin said that everything is booming out in the States, due to the extraordinary activities which the war has brought about, activities which are only of temporary nature and will last only for the duration of the war.
 Every line of endeavor, he said, was working full blast and there were many industries that were short handed and could use many more men.
 But, although work of almost any kind at a good rate of wages could be easily obtained, the living cost is very high and the men employed in these war industries are hard put to make ends meet. The price of the necessaries of life have scared to almost prohibitive rates and the house rents have also taken a tremendous upward flight and con- sequently even the highest paid artizan, mechanic, laborer and clerk finds it difficult task to lay aside any of his earnings.
 These conditions prevail all over the States, and the marshal sounds warning to those Alaskans who contemplate leaving the country and urges them to count the cost before making the plunge. The war may end sooner than anybody expects, which will immediately result in many millions being thrown out of employment. Alaskans, he says, are whole lot better off here, and gives it as his honest conviction that they are making a great mis- take in leaving the country. At the conclusion of peace, the preference will be given to those who have served at the front in appointments to positions that they may be able to fill, and a vast num- Der of men will be forced to seek jobs elsewhere
 Regarding living conditions, the marshal said that a meal such as is served in the restaurants in Alaska for dollar cannot be duplicated for that price anywhere in the States, owing to the exhorbitant cost of the provisions.
 He expects that there will be large influx of people to the North as soon as peace has been declared and predicts an era of prosperity for Alaska when that desirable end has been attained.
