GOLDFIELD SWEPT BY FIRE


GOLDFIELD, Nevada, July T.
(By The Associated Press).-GoId-
field, once a synonym for fabulous
wealth, quick fortunes, gambling and
all the raw hurry and hustle of a
western boom town, is but another
name for desolation today. The
desert blew a windy blast yesterday,
famed a fire which officials said had
been set as an episode in a boot
leggers' feud, and swept the flames
from end to end of the community.
AS a result one man is dead, a
woman is reported missing, and dam
age estimated at possibly 81, 500, 900
was done.
OF all the streets of houses known
to the miners, the prospecters and
the sportsmen who flocked hither to
see the Gans-Nelson lightweight
championship fight in 1906, only
half a dozen buildings remain today.
OF these the Goldheld Hotel, where
miners in sun-cracked boots used
to watch dress-suited promoters
dancing with women in fashionable
dinner gowns, stands alone. Though
the fire started across the street from
1t, this structure escaped virtually
unscathed. Other buildings standi&g
are the railroad STATEN, postoffice,
the old John S. Cook and Company
bank building, the Elks' Club and
the hospital.

FR|ENDLINESS GAINING
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON. July IA pro-
nounced increase in the friendliness
of the English towards the United
States has occurred since 1921, ac-
cording to Representative Ernest r
Alderman. of Plainfield, N. j., who
has recently returned from a trip
abroad.
~ was struck with the evident
sincere desire on the part of the
people of England to maintain har-
monious relations with this coun-
try" Representative Alderman said.
There was in my mind a noticea-
BILE warming of this feeling since I
was last in England, in 1921"
In France Mr.. Alderman was
surprised to find that there
is no trace of resentment apparent
on account of the refusal of the
United States to cancel that coun-
try's war debt. II had feared that
perhaps the French would feel sore
towards us because we have insisted
on the payment of the French debt
to us. 1 was glad to find no open
expression of any such sentiments"

schedule of the Piedmont league in a
tie with High Point for second place.

the Piedmont circuit.

games in the first week of the squirt
and this streak was stopped by High
Point. At the expense of Durham, a

TYPEWRITING

In order to meet the growlng de-
mand for noiseless typewriting and to
give our students the most up-to-
date appliances and instruction we
have placed an order for five hum
dred NOISELESS TYPEWRITERS,
which will be installed as rapidly as
they can be manufactured for our
use. The Drake Colleges were among
the first, If not the first, to introduce
Touch Writing, which was, years
ago, pooh-poohed as a Drake fad.
Today it is in universal use. Now. we
are the first school to introduce, as
an exclusive equipment a most
unique machine-THE NOISELESS
TYPEWRITER, and 1 venture to
predict that the noiseless feature will
be the salient achievement of the
