ance. The fire, the theory is, started
from lamp in the basement of the

Much of the hose of the Moline de-
partment was frozen while fighting
the flames, and Chief j. ID. Collier
who was up there since the Complain

No. company from Rock Island to
assist. Chief Collier and City Elec-

members of the No. 3 company in
giving valuable help in handling the
blaze, which was an extremely fierce
one. Chief Collief also played a he

LEWISTON MAN BEATEN.
Dick O'Brien Defeated BY Joe Walcott
In Fourteenth Round.

New York, May 19.-Joe Wolcott, the
colored boxer. who has deserted the ranks
Of the lightweights to become a middle
weight, knocked out Dick O'Brien, in the
14th round of their fight at the Broad
way A. G. tonight. Walcott made q
heavy concession Of weight to the Lewis
ton man, yet he won without having to
take more than half dozen punches in re-
turn for the scores that he rained upon
his man. Walcott took lead with the
sound of the bell and save for few
He showed superiority lin every respect
and 1t was only wonderful stamina and
capacity to take punishment that saved
O'Brien from an earlier defeat. Halt a
dozen times during the tight and before
the final round, he seemed to be going,
but every time his strength came back
and the rests revived him. 1t was a
fierce fight from the start, yet 1t was So
uneven that it failed to stir the crowd
to a very high pitch of enthusiasm. Wal
colt showed Improved form at the in :
creased weight and WAS wonderfully clev.
er. lie frequently dashed his left into
o Brien's ribs, raised 1t to the neck and
then planted the right on the other
side of the head and got away without
return. His left was wonderfully use
full and whenever q blow seemed effective
he was all over his man with both hands.
He gave O'Brien no rest and after the
size up it was only question Of time.

the advance in architecture, light, heat,
ventilation and drainage can be noted by
an examination of the original structure
Of SO years ago, after glance at the
hest buildings of today.
Does not this lonG-suffering, patient
district deserve new, up-Uo-date build
ing? Let us again look at 1t from an
economical point of view. BY having one
building, large enough to accommodate
not only oil the pupils in the Park and
Bracket school districts. but also the
overflow from Vaughan, the city could
not only save quite rum from the run
ming of one building instead of two, hut
have the Bracket street property to sci !,
and from the sale realize quite goodly
amount. The remodelling of the old
Park street schoohouse would take care
of only the pupils in its own district; the
reIuodel1ing of Bracket street school
house which mus of necessity soon follow
would take cara of it's pupils only. The
expense of all this would be equal to that
of one new schoolhodse. and yet we nuld
have the overflow from Vaughan uncared
for and the building of "a new schoolhouse
must follow. Where is the economy of
such course, to say nothing of its l. ok
OF wisdom.
Again. by building of one large school
house, all the pupils would be we'll cared
for by the smallest expenditure of money,
instead of being half cared for in two,

soever. Let us glance at the privileges,
or would we better say. the mis-called
privileges, of those who have been har-
bored in our neighboring schools, ard
harbored much to the disadvantage of
their own pupils, owing to the increased
number per teacher. 1t has been stated
that 'west of Casco street. there is not an
availa BILE seat for pupil" True, but
1t is also as true, that the children are
crowded into rooms much too small for
SO large number. Inquiries made have
revealed this, that in one of

PARK ST. SCHOOLHOUSE.
To the Editor Of the Press:

In an article which lately appeared in
the PRESS, one "1ax Payer" remon-
strated against the building of new
schoolhouse in the Park Street District,
because by SO doing We would increase
our already high rate of taxation to such
degree that few could be induced to
move into our city. But the vital
question seems to be, Would a high rate
of taxation prove as great stumbling
block to our oity's growth and prosperity
as inferior or no school privilegess"
This Park school district covers lare ,
area in the very heart Of our city, where
property is so valuable that one has to
pay a much higher tax rate proportionate
to the same amount Of property than in
other parts of Portland. Give a thought
to Ward One, for instance, which has two
modern school buildings. and the very
best Of educational advantages. Has it
not received, in the past few years, its
fair amount of the citys' expenditures
Now, let Park street district the
district which, of all in the city, furn-
ishss to 1t it's highest revenue of taxation,
have Its fair amount.
One famiiy-how many more will fol-
lows-has already moved from ward six
to ward one. because SO much more edu-
oational advantage could be had there
for the same amount Of money.
For ten or fifteen years, little or no
m onsg hes bssn spent on the old Park
street school house because those In
power thoukht or said, st would be
like pouring water through sieve to
try and patch up such an old, inconven
lent, ill.lighted building" Think Of II
the Oldest school building in the city
