FLAMING FIELD OF OIL. BURSTS BOUNDS
SPREADING DEVASTATION
Furious Fires hi California Cann Loss of $15,000;000 in Oil'
and Farre Property -Two Lives.Lost.-
A despatch. from San Luis Obispo,
California, says;-Ileraided by a sor
les of thundorous•exp.osions in reser-
voir No. 2, a flaming sea of oil" on
Thursday night burst the bounds of
the Union Oil Company `tankfarm
firs here, wiping several farm houses
off the landscape with its sponge of
flames as it engulfed a small valley
to thenorth of the •main blaze,
As the second twilight, of fire and
smoke settled down on. Thursday night
over the earm, six great reservoirs
and at least several smaller surfacer
tanks weee burning in the centre •of
a flaming field of oil that extended
from two miles in one direction and
from 25 feet to three-quarters of a
mile .in the other.
1Vioro than 6;000,000 barrels of oil
incapable of being salvaged were feed-
ing.the flames, with an :estimate prob-
able loss in oil end equipment of up-
wards of $15,000,000.
Two lives were sacrificed in the fire
early on Thursday when A H. Sieber,
a Civil War veteran, and his eon, Wit
Liam F. Seetrer, yrere killed in an ex-
plosion which is believed to have at-
tended the boiling over of one' of the
remerdous flaming reservoirs. Doris
Seeber, daughter of the elder man, was
slightly injured in the blast; whie`h de-
/polished their home, about 300 yards
from the blazing oil:
Oil fire experts, helpless in the face
of the d,isas'ter,.which;is rated as the
greatestpetroleum conflagration in
the history of the American oil In-
dustry, believe that the flames which
broke out when lightning struck one
of'ehe reservoirs, will continue on
their destructive way for another four
or 'five days, The fire cannot be sub-
dued, they assert. It must burn itself
out.
A tremendous column of dense, bele
black smoke was rising hundreds of
feet in the air and was fully three-
quarters of a mile in diameter..
Bursts of flame occasionally fleshed
across its sable sides, and dull, muffled
explosions that rocked the earth
sounded intermittently' as the bellies.,
burning fluid spilled over the edges of
the reservoirs on teethe rain -soaked
soil,
San Luis, Creek, meandering over
two miles of ground and at one place
cunning withinten feet of the coast
highway, was a flaming ribbon of light
as the burning contents of the reser.
voirs and tanks poured along its bed.
In an effort to prevent this spear-
head .,f flame crossing the highway,
the main artery north and south, e
large gang of Hien were feverishly
throwing up earth works.
To the north, along the level ground,
at least six ranch houses with their
barns and outbuildings had been en-
gulfed hy nightfall. This added die -
aster, however, had ,been anticipated,
and the occupants, with their belehg-
lnns,moved out long before the`seab£
fire reaches the farms.

Engineer Prebles and. Fireman An-
thony Rankin, twenty-seven, Jersey

buried under wreckage. Before they
died they sobbed and begged to be kill-
ed and taken out of their misery as
escaping steam scalded them. They
died: before they could be reseuedfrom
the wreck.
The locomotive, goingat a fast rate
through' the semi -darkness of fog and
rain, is --believed to ',have struck an
open switch.

HEROIC WOMAN WAR SURGEON
Above is Dr, Mary Le& Edwards, of New York City, formerly of.Toronto,
the only Cairadian woman to be honored by the French government with the
Crone de Guerre. Aside from conducting a private practice in New York, she
is on the eurglcas staff of two h'os'pitals. Originally intending to work among
the women and children of refugee families, Dr. Edwards and two other
women went to France. Their first hospital was blown up before occupation.
As a result they threw In their lot with the French medical service, working

FOURTEEN -YEAR-OLD
SAVES CHILDREN
Seven Little Ones Rescued
from Burning House by
Young Girl:
A despatch from North Bay says: -
Seven children, all under the age of
14 years, were eeved by their 14 -year-
old sister when the house and store of
Mrs. W. G. Percy, postmistress at
Boston Creek, was destroyed by fire.
The girl managed to get the children
out, though they were all sleeping on
the second floor and the staircaee was
ablaze.
The origin of the fire is believed to
have been overheating ofthe stove.
Mrs. Percy was absent at the time,
but T. A. Cass, poatoffice assistant,
was in the house. He escaped without
injuries. . The damage amounts - to
$15,000.
Woman Doctor Warns
About the "Fat Forties"
A despatch from Landon says:-
"Beware of the hungry forties!" is
the warning of Dr. Elizabeth Sloan
Chester gives to persons who are in-
clined to obesity. So-called "hunger"
in the case of stout, middle-aged per-
sons -often is "due to dilated or con-
gested digestive organs, which need
fasting, rest and re-education," Dr.
Chester says:
"Babies suffering. from overeating
are often put on a diet .of albumen
water for several days, and what puits
a baby will not hurt a well-nourished,
over -plump adult, Dr. Chester re-
marks.
"When obesity has overcome a inan
or woman, -fasting is usually, necessary
at the beginning of a cure. No food
for three or four days, with pints of
orange :or lemon juice, will eliminate
a fair quantity of •poison from the
system."
"TRAIL OF '98" LEAVES
PITTANCES IN ITS WAKE
Heirs of Klondike Gold Veter-
ans Who Died in North Re
• ceive Dwindled Estates.
A despatch from Ottawa says:-
The history of the • early rush to the
Klondike gold fields in the nineties,
of the trials, the hopes and the tragic
deaths of the veterans of the "Trail
of '98," is all recorded in cold figures
in the records of the Auditor -General's
Department in Ottawa. These records
are those of the unclaimed estates of
Yukoners who died leaving properties
which have siiiee dwindled to nothing
by the depreciation' of the gold claims.
Of the 54 estates recorded,. the total
amount approximates only $9,000.
George P. Mackenzie, former Gold
Commissioner of the Yukon, now in
Charge of exploration work and Arctic
expeditions of the Canadian. Govern-
ment, knows most of the "sourdoughs"
included in the records. Among those
he personally recollects' are Oluf Oh
son, at one trine Dawson City's wealth-
iest and most influential citizen. His
vast real estate holdings, purchased
with his profits, deteriorated when the
gold craze ceased. His unclaimed for-
tune has been reduced to $2,300.
Another famous eh: racier was B.
J. McGee. of White Horse, miner,
fighter, gambler and lover,. said to be
the hero of many of Robert W. Ser-
vice's poems of the Yukon, His for-
tune has dwindled to $201.
The total assets of other famous
characters, of the "Trail of '98," in-
cluding Thomas H. Buchanan, Horace.
Stewart and. R. Anderson, have
dwindled to utero pittances. They all
have died in 'recent years in the "fro-
•zen North."

CANADIAN DOLLAR
ABOVE PAR IN N. YORK
For First Time This Year
Dominion Money Commands
Premium.
A despatch from New York says: -
For the first time this year, the Can-
adian dollar moved to a, premium last
week in the New York foreign ex-
change market.' It was quoted at 1-64
of 1 per cent. over par, as against a
discount that had prevailed since the
first of this year and that had result-
ed in a steady shipment of gold from
the Dominion to the United States.
If the present relationship should be
maintained, bankers believe that a re-
turn movement of gold from the Un-
ited States to Canada may set in in the
near future.
The highest discount on the Can-
adian dollar that has prevailed this
year was 5-8 of 1 per cent., establish-
ed on March 3. Canadian exchange
has been gradually strengthening` In
recent days, and the discount on Wed-
nesday has been reduced to 3-82 of 1
per cent. Unusual activity developed
and under a liberal demand the rate
was pushed over par.
The resumption of sailings from
Canadian ports end general naviga-
tion on the Great Lakes, which are
counted on to result in largely increas-
ed exports from Canada, were declar-
ed to be the chief factors responsible
for the strength in Canadian ex-
change. It was the seasonal shrinkage,
in United States purchases of Can-
adian commodities last winter that
caused a reversal of the movement of
gold from the United States to Can-
ada.
American shipments of gold to Can-
ada last October, when the exchange
rate was in the neighborhood of pres-
ent figure, amounted: to about 540,-
000,000.
40;000,000. Canadian shipments to the
United States this year have been ap-
proximately 366,000,000.
The present low money rates in the
New York market and the large sup-
plies of funds available here are
understood to be causing a tendency
for the transfer of money to Canada
for financing commercial and Indus.:
trial activity in'that country.
Mother Bore Triplets
After Long Sea Voyage
A despatch from Teronto says: -
That the hardihood' of the newcomers

eers of the Dominion was evidenced
on Monday by a young mother who

St. John. ,Refusing all assistance and
accepting notltinig in the way of char-
ity but a little warm milk tendered by

noverthelees every mail brings inquire,
les from the United States for M-
I
fortnation about automobile roads,
Canoe routes, camp sites and other do -
tails regarding eurnmer holiday posei-
bilities in Canada. Letters from such
widely scattered points as Ann Arbor,
Michigan; Shrewsbury, New Jersey;.
Madison, Wisconsin; Low -vele, New
York; Texarkana, Texas; Indiana-
polis, Indiana; and Orwizburg, Pens
Sylvania, have arrived in an interval
of a few hours.
Most of the inquiries are relatively
simple requests for maps and informa-
tion' about automobile road conditions
asod accommodation that may be ex-
pected. A greet many' want to visit
the best fishing districts.. A surpris-
ingly large proportion state, that they
wish to get entirely away from the
travelled and popular routes. A pass-
able road) a quiet hit of woods, a lake
and fish, are what most of the, males
and some of the family parties state
they want most. Several intend to
travel into country that offers', a choice
for permanent summer residence.
When they strike the spot that suits
them they intend to purchase it for
recreation in future years. A few
are interested in the mining camps
and still others want to ,leave all trod-
den paths for the silent stretches of
the Canoe "traits." -Some are even dto
venturesome as to be plaivning canoe
trips into the Hudson and James Bay
country. The routes to Fort Albany
and Port Nelson are especially pop-
ular.
Indeed'the demand for iniformation
as to Cane routes has become 50 in-
sistent end widespread that the ser-
vice has been obliged to get out re-
ports on upwards of a hundred trips
of this ebaracter, a general summary
of which has had to be prepared for
the benefit of those who had rather
vague ideas as to what part of the
country they wished to include in their
travel's.
The character of thequestions asked
shows that the traveling public is
learning to plan its vacations very
thoroughly and well in advance of the
actual tourist movement. The volume
of correspondence that has already de-
veloped this year indicates clearly the
tourist movement for the coming sea-
son in Canada will exceed all previous
records in every way.
Roar of Niagara Falls Has
Been Definitely Measured
A despatch from Niagara Fails,
Ont., says: -Niagara Palls is far
noisier than any point in New York
City, exhaustive tests undertaken here
have proved. The tests showed that
the two noisiest spots are at the foot
of the American Palle and directly in
front of the Cave of the Winds. Both
these places are defined as deafening.
The instruments measured 70 units
there, cornjiared with 55 units et the
noisiest place in New York Sixth Ave.
and 34th Street. The quietest spots
are at Terrapin Point and at the
Whirlpool Rapids on this side. The
tests were made with an audiometer,
by the Bell Telephone Company.
Surgery Restores Woman
Who Slept for 30 Months
,.
A despatch from Pound, Wis.,
says: -Mos. Molly Stankowitz, 40 -
year -old "dream woman of Pound,"
who mystified -the medical world by
sleeping for 80 months with only three
or four short interruptions, has been
awakened and ;returned to health by
the removal of several large stones
from her kidneys.
Surgeons who have observed and at-
tended her case are of the opinion 1>
is without pasal'let- For almost thr
years the patient lay in a comatose
condition, 'able to take liquid food only
through a tube. Although unable t.,
speak or move a muscle while sick, si:e
claims to have been aware of every-
thing going on about her, a fact un-
known to these who attended her.
Trees Along Main Roads.
Since the Minister of Transport
called a conference todiscuss the
Planting of trees along arterial roads,
the Middlesex County Council, Eng-
land, lras prepared a program involv-
