stable after the horse is gone. It
waits till the fires get out Of hand,
and then it rushes its troops, which

In short, the State of Minnesota is
pursuing reckless, foolish, wasteful

preventing them, it prefers to pay the
multiplied bill, after they have swept

Our timber resources, reduced to al

A FOOLISH, RECKLESS POLICY
Minneapolis JournaD

On the average, property worth
more than three million dollars is con-
sumed by forest fires in Minnesota
every year. Some years, as in 1910
and 1918, the loss is staggering and
carries with it appalling loss of life.
Other years when rains and winds are
favorable, it sinks to a small loss.
But the records for the last fourteen
years work out an average loss of
more than three million dollars a
year.

Recovery of Dead.

San Antonio, Texas-With the
known list of dead standing at
A., police officials believe an esti-
mate Of 100 lives lost as result Of
the flood which struck this city early
Saturday, to be conservative one.
No attempt has been made to estimate
the property damage, but it ascertain
to run into millions of dollars.
The work of recovering bodies is
progressing slowly. Great piles of
driftwood have lodged in trees and
against bridges over the flooding
rivers and creeks. These, when re-
moved, it is feared, will reveal addi-
tional dead. Many bodies also are be-
lieved to have f1oated downstream and
never may be found.
The waters of the San Antonio
river, the Alazan and San Pedro
creeks are back in their banks Re-
lief work and sanitary precautions are
well under way. An organized relief
committee has begun caring for flood
victims, and city health officers are
engaged in a rigid cleanup of the
city to prevent an epidemic Of any
disease.
Houses Are piled Up.
Reports gradually trickling in from
outlying sections of the city confirm
the belief that the flood is the worst
in the city's history. Streets ada
cent to the three streams, have been
swept clean in some instances.
Houses in the southern portion of
the city were piled one on another,
or, in some cases, driven entirely
through adjoining buildings. Dead
animals line the banks of the streams.
The flood waters from the San An
tonic river and from Alazan creek
and small tributaries inundated an
area approximately two miles long and
half mile wide, including the bust
ness district and a portion of the resi-
dence district along River avenue and
adjacent streets as well as the thickly
populated West side, where thousands
of Mexicans are homeless.
Caught Without Warming.
During the night civilians and sol
diers braved the current and floating
debris, to carry women and children
to places of safety. Thousands Of
families along the river were rescued
before daybreak by men who worked
neck deep in water, risking their lives
almost every minute.
There were many tragedies. Babies
were swept from mother arms and
lost in food waters. Mothers were
carried away and children rescued.
Fathers were lost saving little ones.
Many persons do not know whether
they are widows or orphans, pending
the search for bodies among the
debris-strewn streets and river banks.
The people of San Antonio were
caught without warning. The rain
which actually caused the flood fell
after s p. m. Friday in the hills along
the Olmos creek. The electric display
was most vivid ever seen here. While
torrents Of rain were still falling in
the streets of San Antonio and the
residents, unable to get out because
of the downpour went to bed early,
the food waters broke on the town
with terrific force.

INSECTS MAKE LEAVES WALK
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held
~ in Australia.

There are some strange leaves in
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone. Whenever
there came a gust of wind these queer
leaves blew off i'm a perfect shower.
As leaves generally do, they turned
over and over, and rested upon the
ground. Then they would seem to
crawl toward the trunk of the tree
from which they fell. Since that time
il has been found that these leaves,
as they were thought to be. were real
insects and lived upon those very
trees. Their bodies are thin and fiat
and their wings veined, just like a
leaf. If they are disturbed their legs,
which are folded away under their
bodies, leave their whole shape ex-
actly like the leaf of tree, with stem
and all. Bright green in the summer,
these singular little insects, chame-
leon-like, slowly change their color to
dingy brown, just like leaf that
has been frosted. 1t Is strange that.
with wings, they do not fly, but rath-
er walk or crawl along the ground.

FEAR LOSS or ELK HERDS
Animals in Yellowstone Park Are Rap
idly Disappearing, According to
Official Reports. ....

Officials of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture are alarmed
over the threatened determination of
the Elk herd i'm Yellowstone park. On
the ranges Of the park, where ordi-
nariIy thousands of these animals
could be seen, only a very few have
been observed this winter. Several
theories have been offered to account
for the marked Shrinkage in the herd.
Among these is the probability that
the majority died from natural causes
or had been killed during the last
year. Another is that the open fall
and winter caused the elk to remain i'm
hiding I'm some retreat deep In the
mountains and in the higher and more
inaccessible portions of the park.
Open falls in the past, however, have
not caused the elk to abandon their
usual customs and habits.
That there has been an alarming
shrinkage in the Yellowstone'herd dur
ing the last five years is an eStab-
lished fact, according to figures sup
piled by the Department of Agricul-
ture. In 1914 it was ESTIMATED ut
about 25,OOO: i'm 1917, 1890 were
counted, and, if the figures for the
present year, estimated by those close
in touch with the situation, are true,
there remains much less than half this
number. In 1919. $500 head were
killed i'm the Yellowstone band. the SUI
pervisOr of the Absaroka national
forest reports.
The Department of Agriculture
points out that no herd Of wild ami
mails can sustain an annual shrink
age in numbers for any length of time
and not face complete determination
within n few years.

Queen Liked Her Ale Strong.

The City of London Brewery COM
pany, whose premises are offered for
sale, claim to be the only brewery in
the city of London existing from the
time of Queen Elizabeth, and it Is
quite possible that the queen OCCASION
ally sampled their brew. Elizabeth
was specialist In ale. She liked 1t
strong, as witness the plaintive note
her host, the earl of Leicester, sent to
Lord Burleigh: There is not one
drop of good drink for her here. We
were fain to send to London and
Kenilworth and divers other places
where ale was; her own beer was SO
strong that there was no man able to
drink it."
