THE BALTIMORE FIRE
Feb. Z


ON Feb. Z, 1904, fire wiped out
~ the business center of Balti-
more, causing a loss estimated at
SIPS, 100000.
The fire burned thirty hours and
spread over territory bounded by
Fayette, Charles, Baltimore, Liberty
and Lombard streets, the water
front and Jones' Falls.
Within three years the burned
area was rehabilitated completely.
The fire since has been considered
blessing in disguise, because of the
spirit of progress which it awak-
ened.
The diversification of manufac-
lures, the growth of commerce, ex-
tension Of trade, increase of popula-
ton, the influx of foreign elements,
the rise Of economic standards, the
development Of civic consciousness
have been essential elements in the
recent history of Baltimore.

CHINA REAPS POPPIES
AS DOPE WAR GOES ON
Vast Opium Plant Harvest Being
Carried Out as Country
Fights Traffic.

NANKING, China OP).-While Chi
nese government authorities are seeking
a solution 70 the opium problem In
China, thousands of poppy fields are be-
ing harvested in Anhwei Province less
than 100 miles from the capital.
One of the richest agricultural prov
inces In Central China, Anhwei for
many years has helped to supply opium.
Hundreds Of tons Of the narcotic are
shipped annually from this region to
Shanghai. Marking, Hangchow and
other large cities within a radius of
500 miles.
After the opium Is harvested 1t be-
comes the center Of whirlwind of po-
litical turmoil. Local bandits, and Off
Gals as well, demand as much as SO per
cent Of the value of the crop before 1t
is sold by the farmer. Next, the pro-
vincial tax also must be paid.
The Anti-opium Suppression Com
mission has announced an effort is to
be made to improve Anhwei's political
situation.
Exceptionally heavy rains this year
are reported TO have ruined a large
percentage of the opium crop, and this.
together with increasing taxes. will
mean high prices for the drug in
Shanghai this Fall.

Nav Boost New Orleans.

The building Of the Nicaragua Canal
will act as a great boost to the city Of
New Orleans The canal will result in
a reduction Of more than 500 miles
under the Panama Canal route on the
distance between New orleans and the
Pacific Coast. With the continued de-
velopment of the Mississippi waterway
system, the industrial Middle West soon
will realize the advantages of shipping
its export goods through New orleans.
If the Nicaraguan Canal Is constructed
these advantages will become more
obvious and will hasten the movement
of traffic southwark. The Federal Gov
eminent is spending more money on
the extension of the Mississippi water
way system than on all Of the other
waterways in the country.

With the special plan Of making blind
babies group up as happy, normal be-
ings, Sunshine House, thes new home in
London for the National Institute for

love fighting and they are allowed to
fight to their hearts content-within
moderation" said an official of the
