FIRST DUST EXPLOSION IN 1878

Until the summer of 1878 such a thing as a "dust explosion was un- known. No doubt many such explos- ions had occurred. but they were of small account and no investigation fol- lowed tO disclose the true nature of the case In that summer the Washburn Touring mills at Minneapolis, then the largest in the world. exploded with ter rife violence.
 Several massive buildings. with gram ite walls two feet thick and Of partic- ularly strong mill construction. were demolished as if by an immense charge of dynamite. The flame Of the first ex- plosion was communicated 10 two other mills. which also blew up, and three other mills were destroyed in the con- nagration that followed. Eighteen men were killed and many more were in iured and several million dollars worth Of property were destroyed. The wheat bins continued smoldoring for months afterward. in spite of deluges of water poured upon them. Investigation and experiment showed that the explosion was nothing more than a rapid com bustion of the fine particles of flour which filled the air of the mills. Since then 1t has been discovered that many of the coal mine explosions are pri- marily dust explosions following a windy shot" made by some careless plaster

c. H. Bigelow. who has been in Phoe- nix since the beginning of the legisla- ture to interest Arizonans in the mat ter of CO., ordinating with Utah in good roads building, received encouraging word yesterday from Representative Joseph H. Snow, chairman of the good roads committee of the Utah legisla- ture. Mir Snow is a son of President Snow. former head of the Mormon church.
 He writes that the legislature has just added another million dollars to the state road fund so that, with the bond issue and the amount that will be received from federal sources, the state will have $S,000,0 900 to expend for good roads in the next two years. Mir. Snow added that the state would construct and maintain an automobile highway from Salt Lake City to the Arizona state line. He was very much gratified to learn that the legislature of Arizona had authorized the con- struction of bridge across the Colo rado in Mohave county. House Bill IFS the measure recently introduced and passed in the house, appropriatine | S50,000 for the construction of the Ari- zona section of the Arrowhead trail tc | connect with the Utah road near St George, will be before the senate toda, for final disposition.

AGENT RE|NSTATED
 COMMISSION GIVES !. CLEAN B|[[0F HEALTH

On February r, 1919, the corpora tion commission of the state of Ari- zona on application of one J. F. Jen- nings. revoked the right of the West ern Union Life Insurance company to transact insurance business in the state and also revoked the license of Charles B. Brice as an insurance agent. At the time of the hearing on the said application Mir. Brice, the manager of the said company, in the state of Arizona, by reason of ill health was unable to present any case in his own defense and it was not until the 5th day of this month upon his own application that he was heard | by the said commission.
 From the evidence presented at said time it appeared that MT. Brice en- i tered into a contract with the Western Union Life Insurance company | through it's vice president, Charles | Timblin, at Los Angeles, and on said 1 occasion was authorized and required by the said Timblin in writing in surance in the state of Arizona to of fer farm loans, and that MT. Brice |, in offering farm. loans or rather ac- cepting application for said loans did so in the utmost good faith, which said fact was attested by affidavits filed in his behalf by several of tho | prominent business men and citizens of Maricopa county.
 | It also appeared at the said hearing that representatives high up in thu affairs of the said company personally accompanied MT. Brice in soliciting insurance on number of differen occasions and that insurance Wa. | written by reason of the personal as surance of the said representative Leigh Milliken. Letters were pre- sented to the said commission iron the ex-governor of Arkansas, Georg, W. Hays and other prominent me1 both from within and without thi state. testifying to the high characte of Mir. Brice.
 It further appears in the evidence that MT. Brice upon the non-compli ance of his company with the assur ances made by its representatives, re fused to longer solicft insurance fo the said company and resigned a their managing agent in Arizona
 From the foregoing facts the com mission granted the application fo reinstatement and in their order SC out at length their opinion as to tn good faith of MT. Brice in solicitin
 such insurance as he did and that il
 justice to Mir. Brice. g. license to d
 business in the state of Arizona shoul
 be granted and issued to him. Mi
 Brice is now the general agent of tn

MIKE R|CE BRINGS NATURE E PORTRAIT |. IF THEcR0WNPR|NCE

Mike Rice. one of the best known of Arizona pioneers. again is in Phoenix. Indeed. he has been here several weeks. but he spent most of the time in the hospital, sort of resting up after a couple of years of work at Ajo. now his home. and by him held in affection as the greatest camp on earth.
 He brought with him slab of ma tive copper. which. just as it was taken from a New Cornelia stope. is a re- markable portrait relief or silhouette of the German crown prince. It is un- mistskable. with the same prominent nose and with the busby of the Deaths Head hussars. even to the plume.
 Rice usually gets to the capital of Arizona in legislative times, d habit he formed back in the eighties. More often than not, he has been an attache of one of the houses. Ont side, at each session. he has sought to sustain his honors as the acknowledged poet lariat' of the southwest. Sometimes he has been a newspaper man, but at the bottom he really is a prospector one who has travelled over most of Arizona's mountains and even into Mexico, and who loves the open. how ever genial his companionship in the hotel Hobbies.

I believe in the rule of the majority. but do not let us forget that a minority, here in Arizona as else where, has some rights which the ma jority is bound to respect. Men have the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and no republic can long endure if the major ity rides rough shod over the rights of the minority"
 The vice president spoke for only a little more than half an hour, which he said was long time for him to express his thanks to the legislature for the occasion it had given him. He made his way slowly out of the chamber, shaking the hands of the multitude.

American Made Tires
Give Good Service in
Z Army Transport Cars

American soldiers in the motor
transport service write from France
that the happiest event in their mil
itary careers was the arrival Of the
moment when enough American
made tires were on hand to equip all
their trucks. American-made tires
were so superior in their opinion to
those OF foreign manufacture that
there was always scramble for the
'made-in-America" brands.
One of these rlen, writing to the
United States Tire company, says /:
The tire game over here has let up
enormously, due TO the wonderful
way in which American-made tires
are standing up, especially the
solids.
We are getting such wonderful
reports here in the matter OF the
work being done by United States
Royal Cords and Nobbys that you
would think they were the only tires
over here.
1T is a very common sight to see
conveys of from 40 to so trucks
come into the motor repair park
for repairs, equipped completely
with Royals on the front and Mob
bys on the rear and from all ae-
counts they are giving wonderful
mileage"

Mr.. Leary took delivery on a

and one of the new two-ton Paige
trucks, coming up personally from
Indianapolis to the Paige factory to
secure them. The Larchmont was
loaded on the truck and the trip
back to Indianapolis covered in three
laps. The total distance is 2o8 miles
The first day the S. miles to Toledo
were made in 4 l-3 hours. The aver

NO TRACTORS ARE.
TO Be DISPLAYED
At AUTO EXHIBIT
Automobile Dealers to Take
Active Part in Fight for
Better Roads Through
outethe State.

Requisition for space at the four
teenth annual automobile show have
been so large that it is impossible
to make room for tractors.
Early this year it was planned to
hold tractor show in connection
with the automobile show, but so
many new passenger cars and trucks
are to be displayed that the Omaha
Automobile Trade association, at a
meeting Friday in the Chamber OF
Commerce, decided it was unfavor-
able to attempt tractors at this ex-
position.
Plans now are to use the lower
room of the Auditorium for truck
displays, the same as last year,
while passenger cars will be dis
played on the main floor, on the
stage and also in the annex in the
McCaffrey building.
Manager Clarke G. Powell is at
work on decoration arrangements
and says the scheme in the annex
will be Just as elaborate as that in
the main auditorium.
1t is probable the Liberty motor
will be displayed in the annex.
Discuss Good Roads.
Good roads were discussed at the
meeting Friday and the legislative
committee was instructed to take an
active part in the work now being
done in favor of permanent roads.
1t was pointed out that permanent
roads would benefit everyone in Ne
braska and that there was no one
line Of business which should be
more interested than the automobile
men.
Mr.. Powell impressed on the deal
ers the fact that inasmuch as the
shows at Chicago and New York
this year are not to be national
shows Omaha dealers could count
on stronger cooperation from the
factories. Mr.. Powell next week
will attend a meeting of show man
ayers in Chicago and while there
expects to make arrangements for
several attractions for the Omaha
show.
