Millions of dollars worth Of agricul-
tural wealth--much of 1t foods de-
stroyed by fire in the United States
every year. At normal prices and
with an average crop it would take the
value Of the greater part Of the potato
crop Of the country to offset all that
is lost annually through the fires on
farms.
This is a dead loss to the nation
for the fact that most individual losers
are partially reimbursed through In
sHrance does not in the least reduce
the drain on our national resources
and 1t is a loss that is largely pre-
ventabIe. Simple ways to reduce this
great waste are suggested In Farmers
Bulletin 9O4, "Fire Prevention and
Fire Fighting on the Farm" issued
for free distribution by the United
State department Of agriculture.
The FIRE bucket, according to the.
writer's Of the bulletin, Is the Oldest,
simplest and cheapest fire extinguish-
er, and should be in every farm build
ing and home not equipped with more
elaborate fire-fghting equipment.
Round Bottom Buckets Best.
Any kind of bucket filled with water
and placed handily is good, but spe-
cial fire buckets with rounded bottoms
like kettle are best. There Is no
temptation to use such buckets for
ordinary purposes and they are much
more likely to be left hung on the
brackets or In the round holes cut for
them in shelves. Any kind Of fire
buckets should be specially painted or
labeled and never used for any pur
pose other than fire fighting. They
should be placed near entrances and
near the top of stairways or ladders
where they can easily be reached on
entering the building or loft. Several
buckets nestled In barrel Of water
are an effective device.
Needless to say, the fire buckets
should always be kept filed By replac-
ing the water lost by evaporation.
If the buckets are covered, water
win not evaporate so rapidly nor get

Washington. Much interest has
been shown by the public in the United
States shipping boards program of
building many fast vessels for carry
ing supplies to France during the war,
and to transport freights, mail and
passengers as the vanguard Of the
great merchant marine that is to be
maintained when peace returns.
National pride, say shipping experts
here, has always found strong express
sion over the ability Of the United
States to produce fast ships. 1t Is
therefore nothing new for Americans
to watch the products Of their ship
yards with swelling breasts.
Half century and more ago the
whole country took pride in the rec
ords of American clipper sailing ships,
which led the merchant fleets of the
world.
American shipyards then produced
vessels which made long voyages at an
average speed equal to that of the
steamships of their time. The sailing
records they established were never
equaled by the ships Of other nations.
These vessels were the direct prod
uct of daring experiments by Yankee
builders, who were never content to
rest on their laurels, which were many.
Each year they excelled their previ-
GUS efforts, turning out flyers that
challenged the attention Of the mari
time world.
The Flying Cloud.
One Of the mos notable American
vessels in the heyday Of the clipper
ships was the Flying Cloud Of Boston,
which In. 1851 made the run from New
York to San Francisco, around Cape
Horn, in 80 days, 81 hours, establish
ing a record that has stood since. On
its voyage the ship sailed 374 miles

PASSING OF PIONEER.
John II. Davey Ends Long, Active
and Useful Life.


Last week, John H. Davey. father
of Frank j. Davey, of this city, passed
peacefully away at the advanced age
of 81 years. Mr., Davey was one of
the pioneers of the west and for many
years was an active figure in the de-
velopment of resources which paved
the way for the civilization of today
He engaged in mining in the Black
the far west" He came to the
Occur d'Alene district thirty years ago
and for many years gave his atten-
ton to mining. Subsequently he made
his home in Baker, oregon. About a
year ago he joined his son in this city
where he lived until his death, He
was a man of remarkable energy and
vitality. Like many other successful
men, the fruits of his efforts slipped
from him in later life, but he left a
legacy in the form of an honest ach-
ievement, generous regard for his fell
low man, and liberal charities which
time could not take away. The fun
eral services were conducted Saturday
afternoon by Rev. d. M. Helmick.
The pail bearers were men who had
known Mr.. Davey since his arrival In
this district thirty years ago. They
were Angus Sutherland, d. c. Nc
Kissick, J. w. Tabor, S. P. Fairweath-
err, C. r. Rudy and A. J. Dunn.

WILL DEVELOP MAMMOTH
HAS FINE ORE SHOWING
SPIRIT LAKE PEOPLE CONSIDER
MAKING INVESTMENT
IN STOCK.

George Austin, for many years a
resident of this city, but now living in
Spokane, was here Monday and Tues
day, being on his way home from the
property of the Mammoth Mining COM
pany, near Bonita, Montana. He was
accompanied by NJ Mailman, manager
of the Spirit Lake hotel and who was
formerly manager of the Hotel Idaho
at Occur d'Alene Mr.. Mailman visit
ed the Mammoth as the representative
Of a group of Spirit Lake people who,
If his report is favorable, will make
an extensive investment in the stock
OF the company. The stock that is
being offered is a block of 100000
shares owned by d. J, Hefron, of Mis-
soula, original owner of the Mammoth
and which Is under option to Mr.. Aus
tin until August Is. Some two years
ago the Mammoth company was or
ganized by Mr. Austin and Wallace
associates when 100000 shares were
subscribed in this district, Mr.. Hefron
retaining 100000, leaving 100000 in the
treasury, the total capitalization being
1850 900 shares. When the Hefron
stock now on the market is sold,
which now seems practically assured,
the treasury stock will be placed on
the market to create a fund for the
development of the property.
Likes the Property. !.
Mr.. Mailman expressed himself as
being well pleased with the showing
on the Mammoth, but in order to YER
ify his opinion he came to Wallace to
meet practical mining men who have
examined the Mammoth, Among
these were Rush ]. White and S. l.,
Shonts, mining engineers, who have
examined the property and who fully
confirmed his opinion. He and Mr..
Austin left for Spokane Tuesday af
ternoon.
The Mammoth is about seven miles
from Bonita, Montana, station on
the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee
railroads, in Missoula county The
group consists of six claims and a
fraction. The ledge has been definite
ly located by a series of shafts for
$500 feet, all of the shafts in ore. The
deepest shaft is about so feet and in
sinking 1t four carloads of ore were
taken out and shipped. Altogether
six carloads of ore have been shipped
the returns running from 2S to 36.5
per cent lead and from to 6 ounces
silver. 1t is probable that when work
is started on the property this shaft
will be continued to depth of 200
feet and if the showing Is satisfactory
a crosscut will be run which. in a
distance of 1900 feet, should cut the
vein at depth of 500 feet.
