I-' 1 posed to Have Been of Incendiary Origin Loss

f,l(f : Large fires, declared by both th po- I
fim ' 'co aI1( 'r? eParinen' lo De of in
UBI I cendiary origin, practically destr '!
the largo warehouse of the Ogden I
Ij.fr , Junk company, formerly the freight
Ihouse of the D. & R. G. railroad, and
.'L ihe buildine; of the Ogden Macaroni
Manufacturing company List niqht aft-
1 cr 9 o'clock. The fires threatened
both sides of Washington avenue from j
Twenty-first street 'o the Ogden river
bridge, according to fire department
I reports The total damage to both es
tablishments is estimated at about
$20,000.
I' The fire at the Macaroni company
plant occurred about 0 30 o'clock. The
fire department responded Immediate
'"' ly and four streams of "water were
' i played upon the flames. The frame
j buiiding at the plant was destroyed
"jft I but the brick structure was partly
I saved.
fi' t The blaze that destroyed the Junk
company's place wae by far the most
serious of the two fires. Tho fire i
broke out near the southeast corner '
of t.- Btructuro and spread in a very
itl ten minutes to all pans of the build i
IB I ing. Within an hour after the call was
wM i sent in, the building was a mass of.
ruins. Sparks from 1 his fire, carried,
by a strong wind from the southeast
L; set fire to three houses just to the
north. One of the houses, the property
Ijjffi t of John Farr. was damaged to the ex
I tent of several hundred dollars. Fires ,
f on the roof of the other two buildings
L.K did but little damage.
Four streams of water were played
on both fires from the time of th- call
last night until f o'clock this mornins
According to witnesses, Including
Detective Ed Butterf.eld and William;
A. Taylor, the junk house fire started;
near the southeast corner A small
blaze was first seen to shoot alons tho
in'S platform on th'1 south of the building,
ifiin thence up the walls to the roof. The
building, whic h was of frame construe
IIH tion. burst into a mass of flames al
most spontaneously. This fire, the fire
I men said, bore all the evidences of hav-
f.yiH. og been started by gasoline.
, A man, who was described as short ,
MH 'in stature, wearing a slouch black hat
j j and white shirt, was seen near a gra
IIb I tfire in the rear of the American Can
factory, according to the watchman,
luflf I Erncst Dowling Mr. Howling saw th'
,flre and the man at the same time.
He made for the fire, and the man,
' 'j i seem- bun started t run away A
bi i special poln e, one of ihe extra patrol
of the warehouse district, fired at the
LR I alleged firebug, but the shot d)d not
take effect, Mr. Dowling said. The
grass fire was extinguished without
I causing damage.
The' department was still at th
IRlH I .macaroni factory lire when tin- iunk
If J house burst into flames
Owing to dry, intlammable material j
ot which the junk house was built, (
I the building was a mass of flames be i
fore water could be brought to play
on it. Hose was laid from all avail (
able plugs.
Exploding gasoline added to the fury
of the blaze and for a time little head I
!w 1 vay was mnii by the firemen. Flames 1
I caused by the gasoline shot northeast
across Washington avenue, dropping
showers of sparks. These sparks I
l I started the houses to the north, and (
fire hose had to be taken from the '
larger fire m an effort to save the '
tali I homes
Seven houses between the junk '
H , jl I house and Tv, iiii'-th street were soon :
emptied of furniture and the household

Gasoline Was Used.
Hfl j , U C. Williams, blacksmith, 2050
Washington avenue, stated that he
had seen two men pass in front of bis
house. They were, he alleges, carry
ing a fh e gallon milk pail of gasoline
He could tell that the liquid In the
bucket was gasoline, he said, by the
odor At the time when the men
passed, Williams, his wife and two or
three other people were starting to
visit friends on the other side of the
Ogden river bridge.
Heber Oborn, an employe of the gas
station at the corner of Twenty-first
Street, stated lhat two different parties
1 d at the gas station a short time
before the fire started and obtained
gasoline in buckets. Two boys, who
said that their Ford car had run out of
fuel on the north side of the Ogden
riber bridge obtained a container from
the station, carried it away, and re
turned to the station in the car to re
turn the container.
Perhaps the largest crowd that ever
gathered in Ogden was present at the
macaroni factory fire. Washington ave
nue was lined with automobiles for al
most three blocks south of the Ogden
river bridge, while thousands of pedes

hillside to the rear of the burninc
building, which former part of a nat

bad the fire under control to an extent
that entrance could be effected through

Yellowstone Park j
Has Had Season
Of Great Travel
The fact that the people of the Unit
ed States are wakiug up to the real
Value of their national parks is demon
strated by the travel statistics just
compiled in the office of the superin
tendent of Yellowstone national park.
These figures for the season of 1910.
to include July 31. show that a total
of 31,060 people entered ihe park; and'
there is every indication that this num
ber will be doubled by the end of the
Bi sson. Thl3 record beats the heaviest
previous record of park travel fur the
same period (27,527 in 1915) by a link
over 10 per cent. Of this total. 9564
ame by rail, and practically all of ihe
jOthers in the 5593 private cars whieh :
.entered the park. License tags are I
seen daily from nearly every state In1
; the union and from Canada.
Many of thesi motorists bring ih. ir
own eamplng equipment, and others
avail themselves ot the excellent ac
( commodation3 furnished at the hotels
and permanent camps
I Up to the past few days the season
has been extremely dry; and. with the
heavy travel, the danger of starting
forest fires has b:en great. But the
system of patrolling the roads for camp
fires left burning, the regulating of
traffic, and enforcement of other nec
essary regulations by rangers on mo
torcycles has proven very successful;
and many small fires have been put
out. In some cases a few acres have
bern burned over, but all fires have
been stopped before lln bad become
serious; aod at liu time have fur-bl
fires In the park Interfered with travel,
as they have in some parts of the west
In nil cases were Offenders' were ap
prehended they have been arrested,
tried, and fined for leaving fires burn
ing. Heavy rains have fallen during
1 the past few days over the entire park
After a five-day trip in Yellowstone
park and the propofd Greater Yellow
1 stone extension in JacktAB, Hole, tho
Brooklyn Dally Eagle party, consisting
of about 130 prominent New Yorkers,
left Mammoth Hot Springs at 7 80, in
fifteen of the large park automobiles,
bound far Glacier park.
Complaints are few, considering tho
unprecedented travel, which taxes the
resources of all who serve the public:
and many compliments are heard for
the pains taken for the comfort of trai
elers. .

ill EX-SERVICE Ifl
ME URGED TO HOLD
INSURANCE
All ex-service men are urged to
hold to their government insurance, or
to renew it if they have allowed it to
lapse for any reason, and will be as
Si8ted by the Home Service Bureau
1 of the Red Cro -. recording to a state
jment issued from that office this
I morning
Man) soldiers haeallowed their
I fnsurance to lapse and now believe
that they cannot take it up again, says
the statement, but the Home Service
jwill attend to the correspondence and
otherwise assist those who wish to re
instate in the protection of the gov
ernment insurance.
In speaking of this matter this
morning an attache of the Home Ser
vice bureau said:
"There are manv men who have re
cently returned and have allowed their
insurance to lapse because they felt
Ihey could not keep up the payments
while re-establishing themselves in
Civil life. The government desires all
the men who sered to keep up their
insurance, as it is a distinct benefit
and cheaper than any other insurance
in the world. It Is our province to
assist those who have allowed the
policies to drop Each soldier should
at least retain a part of his insurance
"One soldier in talking to an insur
ance officer said: '1 have already spent
$6 50 for 18 months and haven't re
ceived a thing for it.'
"The insurance officer replied:
" 'Yes, you arc just a little more
fortunate than about 100,000 men
whose mothers, wives and sisters are
drawing $"7.f.n each month for the
.little ?G.50 that those dead boys paid
out. You better thank your lucky
stars that you are here with your eyes,
'legs, and arms and in good health, and
! that ou have spent this money for the
protection 1
"Ot course, the soldier says:
" 'That's right.' "

Soldiers Are to Be
Aided in Getting
On to Farm Land
, Service men are now being given
the opportunity of reclaiming land for
itbemeelves in great tracts of uncu'll-1
vated timiorv A small booklet, with
an application tor iQlrrest?d mcD, has
been received by the local army re
cruiting sergeant, giving full details
of the plan.
The idea, as explained in the book
let, is this: Persons, ex-service men
v ho fought in the war. w ill be paid bv
the government to drain portions of
this l?nd, clear it and in a general
ra) make it tillable land. After th
land has been reclaimed and ready for
occupation, the government will allow
I
(he soldier to pick one of the farms
and for r small amount, which is to j
be paid ;n installments, the govern
ment will supply the person with agri
culture tools.
The bill providing for this has not
as yet passed congress, but congress
has asked the interior department to
make a preliminary investigation of
possible settlements throughout the
country, and also wishes to know ,
whether, if construction of these se.
Hemenls is authorized, the ex-service
men would be interested
Persons desiring information along
this line should go to the recruiting
icrgeant, secure application cardj,
send t'-.cm to Washington and full de

raised up for this purpose, is inspired
to carry the principle, ot human lib
erty to all nations ;;n 1 I look at the
efforts of these men as a step In the
rishf direction. Thout'i there may be
need for some reservations, I am fully
persuaded in mi soul t lat the Iord has

to the call of the wor'd for peace and

baa there been such need of rule by
