Republic, Wash, June 5.-The fire
broke out in the Spiegle building, due to
the stovepipe telescoping. In 10 minutes
the house was mass of flames. The
building was occupied by County Auditor
Spiegle, by roomers, and as county office
upstairs, while the lower floor was used
as a jewelry store by S. Burnette and by
r. b. Curry as broker. The fire soon
spread to the Republic bank building.
From that moment it was seen that the
town was doomed, unless heroic measures
prevailed. The Woodhouse & Wells build
ing, four doors south, was blown up with
dynamite. Then followed the residence
of H. l. Percy. This did not effect any
good, and as all the buildings intervening
were doomed, it was decided to blow up
the Occur d'Alene saloon and the Republic
Trading Company's store. South from
these there were several vacant lots, and
that stopped the fire.
In the meantime the wind, which had
been coming form the north, veered to the
southeast, causing the flames to cross the
street. The Montana saloon was the first
to get on fire, then followed the Dewey
saloon, and the other buildings on the
east side of Clark avenue followed quickly.
The progress of the flames was arrested
by broad street. Much of the furniture
was removed from the buildings, and the
was considerably damaged.
The Burned District.
The burned district was the heart Of the
business center of the camp. Eight ga
looms, five eating houses, one drug store,
one bank, one cigar and tobacco store,
one bakery, two barber shops, two meat
markets, two grocery and general mer-
chandise stores and several brokers' Of
fees were burned, and several professional
men lost their places of business. The to-
tai loss will be about 1000.
Saloons Ordered Closed.
There was much liquor stolen during the
fire and in result there were great many
drunken men. The commissioners ordered
the sheriff to close all the saloons until
tomorrow under penalty of forfeiture Of
licenses.
The county records were saved, but the
new books that were received a day since
were burned. This is loss of $3.50 to the
county. While there will be great deal
Of building going on, the present force Of
carpenters will be able to do all the work.
Perhaps few very skillful ones might get
employment for a month or two if they
came.
There will be no suffering for food. All
will have shelter.

year. When changes In books are
made, this places heavy expense on
school patrons that must be met in a
comparatively short time. Iu case OF
failure of shool district to introduce
books as required by law, such district
thereby forrelts, for a year, all state
and county funds to which II would
otherwise haYe been entitled.
Under the proposed law textbooks
will be adopted every six years, lG
July,and districts will have 10 months
in which TO Introduce them. Changes
may, therefore, be made gradually, so
that school patrons will have more
time 10 which TO provide any new
books that may be required. In case
of failure OF district TO introduce
textbooks as provided, only 25 per
cent of the county funds TO which IL
would otherwise be entitled will be
forfeited.
