Eight buildings, all stores save one, were burned to thé ground, and the structure containing the postoffice and the office of the telephone company was only saved by tearing down a small building between it and the fire. The fire started at 6 o'clock in the second story of the building owned by Tony Davilla, the first floor of which is occupied as a saloon and the second as a residence. A gasoline stove ex- ploded and set fire to the frame struc- ture. The flames spread to the old church, now occupied by a couple of barber shops, then to Tony Lee's resi- dence and then to the store of F. E. Vargas, on the corner. This was quick- ly burned, and the fire rapidly licked up the drug store of Charles Wenkle, which had recently been remodeled and refitted. By this time all of Alvarado and half of the country round about had collected and was trying to fight the fire. There was no fire department and no apparatus save some garden hose. To save the postoffice and telephone of- fice a small frame building that was standing between the fire and the building by these two was razed to the ground and the fire was checked. The loss will run between $50,000 and ’15000 ————— ROGERS TO SUCCEED REQUA.

A lady Hving in Illinois writes about food to a friend whose little girl has a delicate stomach, and we are prhvueged to quote from her letter: ““The hest way to advise you in little Bessie's case is, 1 feel, to tell you what 1 did for my little Boy Blue. He was, Iike your daughter, very fond of white bread, potatoes and the usual food of the every-day table. His appetite séem- ed good and he ate freely, but, like lit- tle Bessie, he didn't seem to get the proper amount ¢f nourishment out of his food, was puny in body and, lack- ing strength, was peevish and half sick most of the time. “I was very much worriéd about him, bhacause I couldn't find the right sort of food for him—the ordinary breakfast foods didn't seem to answer. At last, a few months ago, I determined to try Grape-Nuts. F confess I was almost in despair, and had but little hope that it would prove any better than the other prepared foods. ““The result was most surprising. Boy Blue tock to the Grape-Nuts food and it did him good from the beginning. He has gained steadily in weight, strength and good epirits, and has taken on t. complexion like a wild rose. His ey fairly dance with hedth and lu”lnul —his peevishnees is all gone. “Then husband and I both began to eat Grape-Nuts food, and with the best of results.

TACOMA, April 1—Because Califor- | nia oil is still gradually supplanting coal as fuel for steam-producing pur- poses, less coal is being used on the Pa- cific Coast than for many years past. This is the conclusion reached by C. R. Claghorn, manager of the Northern | Pacific Railway coal department, after | an investigation. Claghorn came here several months ago from the Pennsyl- vania Railroad service to take charge of the Northern Pacific coal property, following the appointment of former Manager Horn as general manager of the Northern Pacific. Claghorn has reached the conclusion that oil fuel has passed the experi- mental stage. Its effect upon the coal market is such that the great mines | first move on record to handle the ob- ! | run sixty years at 4 per cent and will | AMERICAN BANKERS AFTER NEW PORTUGUESE BONDS STRANGE DEATH OF “HELLO GIRL"” PUZZLES DOCTORS ST.

D. April 1.— Thousands of letters from candidates for matrimony in all parts of the United States are coming to Land Commissioner J. S. Kellar at Bone- steel. The writers wish information concerning the 121 young women who drew fine farming homesteads in the recent opening of Government land on the Rosebud Indian reservation. The avalanche of letters is the re- sult of a reeently published interview in which KeRlar intimated that many of the young women wanted husbands to help take care of the farms. The lettérs come from men of every age and in every walk of life. With the exception of Arizona, Maine, New Mexico and Nevada every State in the Union is represented in the in- quiries. The bulk of the letters, how= ever, came from New York, Maryland, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. —_———————— . Californians in New York.
