tlOn, upon persons whose enClre DuSl.
ness resources are destroyed by the
storm, and graphic idea of the city's
suffering begins to be possible. Be-
sides losses Of upward Of million
dollars in the business area, 400 homes
have been wrecked or utterly wiped
away. A conservative estimate of
their average value would be $4,000.
Many of them were worth two or three
times as much, for Fergus Falls was q
city of beautiful homes. Union ave-
nue., residential district skirting the
thoroughfare to the state hospital,
was a section Of unusual beauty. The
northern half Of it is wholly destroyed.
Vernon avenue, another handsome
street, met similar fate. How COM
plete and irreparable is the total loss
to citizens can be guessed from the
fact that not over per cent Of the
property wrecked was protected by in
surance against casualties of this kind.
Public and Private Buildings Gone.
If Byron's description of carnage in
which oil were in zone red burial
blent" might be quoted to express the
destruction of inanimate things, the
use Of 1t in description of Fergus Falls
structural and business losses would
be almost apropos. Property of every
kind is inextricably mixed in hope
lessly tangled confusion in which each
becomes burial material for that which
remains. All church edifices in the
city, except two, are q part of the
tangled and twisted debris. The
court house and ali the school houses
Of the city are destroyed or seriously
damaged. Theatres, schools, laundries,
the Grand hotel-scene of the largest
number of fatalities-the Northern
Pacific passenger and freight depots,
municipal bridges, manufacturing
plants, stores, the big Red River mill
all sustained heavy damage, and
most of them are now but jumbled
heaps. The wrecking of approximately
100 automobiles at various places
about the city is mentioned as merely
one of the minor items of the damage
effected by the storm.
What Is Being Done.
Familiar as the story of the tragedy.
Is, in part, the story of what is being
done to succor the injured town. Re-
lief trains quickly brought physicians,
nurses, medicines and surgical dress
ings. Helpers streamed into the city.
Governor Burnquist dispatched three
companies of Home Guards, who have
policed the stricken district day and
night. For the protection Of people
and property, the city is temporarily
under martial law. By designation Of
the governor, after conference with
local business men and officials. a re-
lief committee was promptly given
authority to solicit and distribute
necessary supplies and funds. Cities
throughout the northwest have sent
words of encouragement, with advance
tenders of needed money and food.
Committee Appeals for Help.
A fund of 100000 for relief work in
Fergus Falls was decided upon at the
meeting Of the Fergus Falls citizens
with state officials and others, held
last night. AS result new appeal
Went to the people of the northwest
for aid.
The relief fund goal was increased
as the result of information gathered
by the Red Cross and other relief
workers in the city, and presented ut
the meeting. A thousand are home

NEXT" BARRIERS WIN
STRIKE AND ARE ONCE
MORE ON THE STROP

Union loufneymen BARRIERS of Ely
walked out last Wednesday at ,
G CLOCK on demand for shorter
hours and an increase on a percent
age basis over the weekly guarantee.
BARRIERS are paid a guarantee salary
and receive a percentage on the re-
ceipts over the stipulated amount.
The demand for an increase was
based on the gross receipts to the
proprietors from the chair of each
jcurnnyman.
The men quietly left the shops
and permitted the proprietors to
work overtime in an effort to har-
vest the CROP of hair and whiskers
brought in By the customers. 1t is
understood that there vas very lit
tie argument by the customers rela-
tive to the controversy. as few men
cared 70 express an opinion while
their necks were stretched out and
the keen steel was playing over the
Adams apple" The steaming tow
el draped tightly about the mouth
was an effective means of closing any
argument.
Saturday morning the journeymen
returned to their positions behind
the chairs. having gained their de-
mands. securing an increase in
wages and having the working hours
adjusted to start work at a. m. and
quit Mt 6 .. m.
In several OF the large cities of
the east the barber's strike has made
II necessary for the proprietors to
invite the customers to help them
selves to a haircut and shave.

tions by Chairman Benentt
Chairman bennett WIS aosen at
Reno as one of the state delegates to
represent Nevada at the big conyen-
tion which will be held in Minneap-
oils November 10th.
The delegates to the national con
yention will take up matters of vi
tai interest to the ex-service men
and may also have considerable to
say relative to the future military
policy of the United States. II Is re-
ported that Congress will delay ac-
tion on many of the imoprtnat meas
ures until after the Legion conven-
tion.
Investigation of both the federal
board of vocational education and the
buerau of war risk insurance will
be one of the vital matters that viii
hold the interest OF the delegates

vention will grow a suggestion for =
comprehensive Amerieanization plan
in which the American Legion may
participate to the betterment Of all
the citizens of the United States.
The question OF the participation
in partisan politics will undoubtedly
be threshed out at the convention
as 1t has already been done in many
cases vf local posts.

Thursday morning for Minneapolis.
He will meet other delegates from
the state at Cobre from which point
1t is expected the Nevada delegation

 SAYS DIPLOMAT
ECUADOR OFFERS TO AMERICAN CAPITAL AND ENTERPRISE AL LURING OPPORTUNITIES AC- CORDING TO VICE-CONSUL WHO IS VISITING STATES

DENVER, Colo. July 31.-(P)- With population smaller than that of Philadelphia and an area slightly larger than that of Arizona Ecuador offers alluring opportunities for American capital and enterprise. in the opinion of Charles Copeland American vice consul at Guayaquil who is now in Denver
 Partial toward Americans, genial in disposition. practical though a bit dilatOry in their business dealings, and slightly inclined toward supersti- tion, the Ecuadoreans, according to MT Copeland. possess a blend of characteristics puzzling though not displeasing to an Anglo-SaXOn mind.
 At first, the average American business man is likely 70 be vexed by the constant attitude of 'Manana,' said MT Copeland But experience shows that the Ecuadorean's 'manana' is as good as our today He pays his bills scrupulously one must be content to wait until 'manana'
 Textiles and foodstuffs of all kinds are the chief items imported by the
 pic of Ecuador There is also a heavy demand for hardware, ready made clothing machinery drugs and oots and shoes
 The principal articles of export are cacao, Panama hats coffee, vege- table ivory, cotton, hides and rubber.
 "Ecuador is a land of paradise, , observed the vice consul. The Panama hat capital of the world is not Pan anna, but Jpijapi or Monte Cristi, Ecuador.
 "Another paradox is that many eadly insects and reptiles are not deadly in Ecuador For example ave never known of case where he bite of the tarantula has proved fatal
 with the eXtirpation of yellow fever, thru the eeffOrtS Of the Rockefeller foundation, one of the greatest deterrents to the advent of foreigners has been removed"
 Superstition, which is not confined 'o the ignorant classes, is a dominant Copeland.
 Acfbrding to Mr. Copeland. there is great diversity of climate in Ecua dor, ranging from the hot humidity of Guayaquil to tthe bracing air of Quito, the capital, and of a number of mountain resorts. The commercial center of the country, however, is Guayaquil.
