! w. II. Gleckler had quite an experience
about . o'clock Sunday morning. He had
put up stove tho day before and in his
haste had probably not got all the neces-
ssry safeguards around 1t, as at the time
noted fire WAS discovered in the kitchen
wall. He realized that he would have no
time to give an alarm to get out the fire
department, so he got on the kitchen roof
but so hard was the wind blowing that he
was blown of three times. His efforts
kept the ire from spreading until some Of
the neighbors saw him and came to the
rescue and the fire was extinguished. 1t
was close call though, and Gleck says
he don't want any more OF them.

Press believes it would be profitable to
make united and energetic effort 10

We have good cheap farms and plenty OF
them. Why not make determined ef-
| fort this winter to induce settlers to occu-
py them? An organized movement from
now till spring would bring a considerable
number OF people here.
