the town, was prevented at the Yuba
hosting works last Tuesday after hard
6ght. The day was windy and shortly
after o'clock the wood corded against
the west side Of the building was die.
covered to be on Fire. 1t must have
burned some time before being noticed.
The smoke was seen from Main St. and
the alarm sounded before the whistle at
the works gave notice that anything
was wrong. 1t seemed from the first as
though the whole west side of the
works was enveloped 10 flames and that
there was no hope Of saving them. A
crowd of men made their way from town
to the works as rapidly as possible and
forming into bucket lines, assisted the
small hose in fighting the flames. The
work was hot and heavy and for some
time it was doubtfulif the flames could
be overcome, the fierce gusts of wind
frequently blowing smoke and fire 10
every direction. After half an hours
work of this kind however the fire was
under control. The loss was small and
consisted ia the destruction of a ouan.
tity Of cordwood. This fire and that at
the Raymond works several weeks ago
show the necessity for making every
preparation to fight it, and the compan.
les will add to their facilities and re.
duce the danger of loss from this cause
to minimum.
Rev. w. W. BANNER of the town of
Nevada, Iowa, returned from Hike on
the blackboard, Thursday, and departed,
homeward bound, on Friday. Mr.. Dan.
ner seems to be pleasant gentleman, an
earnest Christian and very intelligent
man. Though on vacation trip he did
not hesitate when opportunity offered
for work, and that without money and
without price. His sermon here was
thoroughly good. He made many friends
in Phoebe who will remember him
pleasantly, and hope that his field Of
labor may at some future time be Is
large as he is capable Of filling-and
that will be no small one.
