{ SIX MEN PERISH IN FIRE Forty Others Carried Down Ladders by Rescuers. New York, Nov. 6.—Six men were killed and a dozen firemen injured in a spectacular fire which destroved a four-story lodging house. There were fifty-two men packed in the lodging house stalls ‘'when the fire broke out and forty of them were res- cued by being carried down ladders or swung across to the roofs of adjoin- ing buildings. . The blaze started in a back room, which was quickly hurned out. The flames then spread to the stairway, cutting off the escape of those trap- ped in the building. Fireman rushed to the second and third floors and were beating their way through the flames when there was a terrific expolsion. Furniture was blown clear out of the windows and a dozen firefighters were knocked down, bruised and seriously burned. Three lodgers were found dead in their beds on the fourth floor of the building. Two were found on the third. and another near a window on the same floor. IS CALLED LAND OF CERTAINTIES (Continued trom Page 1.) ‘means. This was found in 1910 by organizing the Northern Minnesota Development association. This re- sulted in an extensive campaign of publicity. When it became known that northern Minnesota land was exceptionally fertile, many large tracts were purchased from the orig- inal holders and a campaign inaug- urated, led by the work of the De- velopment association. The papers of the state got busy and all along the line the ery “On to Northern Min- nesota” was heard. The effect of the publicity was to stir up other sections to their need of develop- ment and today no less than four associations are boosting their sev- eral sections and working out their several problems. The result of this work started in 1910 is already ap- parent, gradually settlers came into the country, each adding weight to the growing belief in the fertility of the country by demonstrating its awonderful possibilities. 15,000 Families Come. With added settlement, crops so far produced, so far exceeded expec- tations, that the volume of immigra-.| tion increased year by year until this ‘year it is confidently expected that not less than 15,000 families will make their permanent home in these northern counties. . What is doing more for this sec- tion now that it is known, is its ever equable and dependable rainfall and | salubrious climate. ! Soil Areas. The soil of northern Minnesota Tuns from a heavy clay to a sandy soil and includes peat and muck with clay subsoil. The soil is particularly adapted to the growing of alfalfa, clover, grasses and fodder corn. Field corn is also a stable article.
