Walter Betts lived. When the fire was discovered it was so far advanced that it was impossible for the fire company to save any part of the build ing. The house was one of the bun galows which. Mr. L D. Wagger buflt during last year and was modern and complete. Mr. Betts has occupied the house every since it was eoupletea. A heavy rain was falling at the time the fire was announced and it was hoped this would stay the flames until the fire company could reach thf scene. Mr. and Mrs. Betts Ion prac tically all of their furniture and cloth ing. They had no insurance. The bungalow cost $2300 and there was $1500 insurance. Fire originated from a defective flue. COTTON GOODS AJDVANSR IN PRICE UNDER NEW TARIFF Investigations made by the Fair Tariff League, a protectionist organisation, shows that the profiteers are taking ful ladvantage of the excessive rates which the Ferdney-McCumber law imposes on all sorts of OonmrtMlities. A comparative list of 75 chemicals complied ten weeks after the enact ment of the Fordney-McCumber bill showed that all but one had undergone increases in price equaling or approxi mating the amount of tariff placed on them.
