Walden Has Its 3rd Fire
In Four Year; Hut II Wa. Promptly
Crushed In The Had.

Last Saturday morning while some
of our people were still in bed, fir
| alarm was sounded and the uNioS
office, whore the paper mad been
housed for about three years, was
found to be on fire.
\ few moments prior to sounding
the alarm Bert Butler called Ken
MacCailum attention to the fact,
and Ken, who is chef of the Walden
Fire Department, ran up street and
taking a Rex fire extinguisher from
Dawson's entered the front door Of
the printing Office and fired away
towards the northeast corner OF the
front room where the dense smoke in
dicated the fire to be doing the most
damage lie WAS soon reinforced
by the arrival of J. q. Mosman, pro.
prietor of the UNIoS, c. Il. Mosman.
Bert Butler, Jake ilar;zci, and Isaac
Lebow, also members of the fire de.
par tment, aud others, all OF whom
worked with will until TIE flames
were subiucd, which required only .
short time.
1t was fortunate indeed that the
iFe was discovered and put out, FOR
il it had gone beyond control the
Snyder House and all that portion OF
town would have boen burnt
While the arrival Of the fire laddies
was timely, and they deserve all
praise for the speedy ex,inguishmcnt
of what might have been IL disastrous
fire, the event only emphasizes the
unhappy situation in which Walden
might somcday find itself in the
event of fire of greater magnitude,
especially should it occur in the night
time. And right here i. is proper 10
say that the Rex eytinguishcr worked
to Il charm, and several of them did
all the work that could have been ex-
pected from hundred buckets of
water well directed against the blaze.
The damage actually dono 10 the
printing plant proper was ,riiling.
Files of papers We're badly injured or
destroyed. The building was injured
to small extent and some Of the
editors furniture shows signs that it
was in warm quarters The origin Of

is a great favorite with the Irish-Amer-
lean theater-goers because of his sue
cessful efforts in the elevation of the
Irish character upon the stage. When
in Minneapolis a few years ago he
sang for the benefit of the boys of the
Catholic orphan asylum, and in recog-
milton of his generosity the Catholic

lads of Erin.

the grounds and over 100000 square
feet of floor space in its buildings.
Its exhibits are comprehensive in all
lines of production, making it Il verit-
able exposition. 1t has the best grand
stand in the northwest; has two per-
feet race tracks, and it's day and night
amusement programs are wonderfully
Interesting. Because the next Amer
lean Hereford cattle exhibit, an event
of national character will be held at
this approaching fair, the railways
have extended their half fare rates to
much of the territory of the neighbor-
ing states, giving many more
than the usual number of people the

event. Visitors will be richly enter
tanned.

CHAUNCEY oLCoTT,
IN THE GREAT PLAY "MAVOURNEEN''
AT METROPOLITAN THEATRE.

Exalted critics have found in Chaun-
cey Olcott a combination of the vir-
tues of Seaman, Emmett and Bouci-
cault. Certainly no young Irish
public combines so many qualities as
this handsome young fellow who has
sung and acted his way into the
hearts of millions of people. He has
the sweet singing qualities of Scan
Ian, Emmet's grace and winning per-
SOnality, the dramatic sensibility and
power of Boucicault. To the we'll
suited play Mr.. Olcott brings all the
charms of his delightful personality,
the grace and picturesque figure ma
ture fitted him with, a keen sense of
the true Irish wit and humor, a touch
of comedy light as air and exquisite
in its fullness, voice deliciously
sweet and in perfect attune with the
gentle pathos and ripping fun Of the
Irish ballads he sings, and a strong
dramatic instinct which enables him
to grasp the strength of the situations
his dramatist has built for him and
render them their full value.
'Mavourneen' will be recognized as
a faithful picture of Irish home life Of
century ago with it's joys, games,
pastimes and fireside pictures, one act
being laid at Innisshannon and the
rest of the play in Dublin at a time
when the Irish capital was one of the
European centers of fashion and learn
