Schafei-Handel Place in Foreground, George Reinberg's Range in Background, Photograpiied September 18, 1911. 



ing were quick to note that Peter Rein- 

 berg's houses were all on iron gutters, 

 and that these houses stood up, while 

 the houses that collapsed were all on 

 wood gutters. Peter Reinberg himself 

 agreed to the suggestion that there 

 seemed good evidence that in this storm 

 the presence of the iron gutters had 

 made a saving that was a good deal 

 more than their cost. "You know I 

 always thought well of the iron gut- 

 ter," he said; "never used anything 

 else since Garland first brought it out." 

 What the money loss will be neither 

 of the Reinbergs would venture a guess. 

 Work of repair was begun at daylight 

 after the storm and Peter Reinberg ex- 

 pects to have the sashbars all back in 

 his place and the glazing done before 

 frost arrives. George Reinberg 's loss 

 will be much heavier, for he has ten 

 hobses that will have to be practically 

 rebuilt. The Schafer place probably 

 never will be restored. The owner is 

 (|upted as saying that she prefers to 

 tuMj^the real estate to some other use 

 if the lessee abandons it. and Mr. Han- 

 <lt'l is not financially able to rebuild. 



He has run the place for two years and 

 loses the work he has put in as well as 

 the money he invested at the start. He 

 had six houses all in Killarneys and 

 Richmonds and the ridge was left 

 standing on only one house and parts 

 of two others. The plants in all the 

 houses that stood were more or less 

 cut up and broken. What the loss will 

 be from this cause time alone will tell. 

 The stock in the houses that went down 

 will, of course, be a total loss if re- 

 building is not hastened. George Rein- 

 berg next morning ordered materials 

 for rebuilding six of the demolished 

 houses and for repairs on those that 

 had been only damaged. He hopes to 

 get that far with rebuilding before cold 

 weather catches him. The remaining 

 houses he does not expect to be able to 

 replace before spring. 



All of these houses were of uniform 

 size, 26x265 feet. As an evidence of 

 how hard the wind blew, practically all 

 the glass was blown out of the win- 

 dows of George Reinberg 's residence, 

 which stood in the path of the storm, 

 and over beyond Peter Reinberg 's 



range, on the ejist side of Robey street, 

 rtiost of the windows in some of the 

 flat buildings there were blown in. A 

 peculiarity was that there was a great 

 deal of splintered glass on top of the 

 greenhouse lights that did not break, 

 especially in Peter Reinberg 's place, as 

 though the glass had popped out in- 

 stead of being blown in. 



ANGLEWORMS IN PANSY BED. 



How can we get ri-d of angleworms 

 in our pansy bed, which is outside, 

 shaded by a pergola f A. J. K. 



There are a number of worm eradi- 

 cators on the market in liquid form, 

 which, watered on the beds, will make 

 the worms come to the surface hurried- 

 ly. You can work air-slaked lime 

 among the plants; this will help to 

 keep them away. Or, if preferred, 

 slake some fresh stone lime in a bar- 

 rel, fill with water and apply the clear 

 liquid. This will not hurt the plants 

 and it will surely kill all the worms 

 that it reaches. C. W.
