Brussels, Feb. 25.-One of the most
appalling documents i have seen is a
map of Belgium indicating in red the
extent of war destruction in this coun-
try The map is shown in an office in
which the authorities are tabulating
details of wars havoc.
1t is not yet complete, for it has
been impossible to obtain accurate
records of enemy destruction in west
ern Flanders, which was the territory
most terribly ravaged. In that district
are places like Ypres. Dixmude and
Roulers.
In eight minor Belgian provinces
there was damage in rs communities.
No fewer than 35,353 houses were to-
tally destroyed and 1920 partially de-
stroyed. Churches, town halls, mu-
seums, communal buildings and libra
ries are not included in these totals.
When the Germans evacuated Ter
monde, 1852 buildings there had been
entirely destroyed, $50 partially de.
stroyed and only ninety eight re-
mained intact out of a previous total
of 2,329. Lierre had 6S2 buildings to-
tally destroyed and seventy-sx par
TALLY destroyed, and to all intents and
purposes it is wiped off the earth.
Louvain shows total destruction OF
116S houses and nine partially de-
stroyed; Loo and Kessel, SIS entirely
destroyed, and Malesnes has 307 en-
tirely destroyed and 1856 partially.

MINER CONSTRUCTS UNIQUE RESIDENCE WHOLLY FIREPROOF

The most unique residence in the district, both because of its constrpc- tion and the fact that it probably will take the lowest fire insurance rate in the entire Warren district. is the newly completed home of Lee Dean, q well-known Calumet & Arizona miner, on Navajo Trail in Warren. WOCd and inflammable materials of all character are almost entirely ab- sent from its construction. the entire residence, including the roof, being of poured concrete.
 Mir. Dean did all of the work on the house himself, building on the mission style and after the fashion he hal learned while an employe of the Southern Pacific de Mexico railroad a. Empalme, sonora.
 The new residence is attractive in appearance and handsomely fitted on the interior. One of its attractions to the home builder is that it will grow better with age, instead of worse as in the case of dwellings of other ma terials, while nothing less than the rude shock of a blast could destroy it. If he desired to do so, Mir Dean could build a bonfire on the roof without doing material damage to the structure
 It is predicted in Warren that as a result of MT. Deans pioneer effort in this field. other concrete houses probably will be built in the near future. The material will allow nu- merous variations so there will be no more danger Of a "sameness" in than if brick or stone were used.

VISTA PARK WILL
 SOON BE LARGEST. IN ENTIRE STATE.

 blocks completing the chain of green from the baseball park 10 point just
 below the handsome residence of Wal ! ter Douglas, will be graded, planted with grass and trees this spring. ac- cording 10 announcement made yes terday by J. C. Cowan of the Warren company.
 With the contemplated improve ment Of the park, it will become the largest public pleasure ground in the state of Arizona, MT. Cowan said, lying in strip five blocks long and block wide.
 In good weather the park is well patroniZed, particularly the section containing the bandstand and broad, cement sidewalks.
 Not alone is this pleasure center when open air dances are being given, but for children on roller skates and those with velocipedes. tricycles, toy automobiles and the like, the side walks are a playground.
 Not only do the people of Warren take advantage of the generous plan on which the townsite was laid out, but almost any sunshiny day people from as far away as Tombstone canyon take the street car ride and enjoy the l pleasant surroundings of the park.
 MT. Cowan did not state what plans | will be followed in making the i'm provement, but said that unless a | decided change is made in present | plans, improvement work would be started early in the spring.
