Judge Stillweil has again passed
upon the validity of the occupation
tax and again held that it il legal. A
temporary injunction was obtained
when the tax was first enforced and
then the court dissolved il and held
the tax valid save few specified
paragraphs. Last week in his de-
clslon he not only held the tax valid
but added four items to the taxable
list which before he had thought
might be doubtful. They are Sec. 10,

The way the buildings have filled
up, although they are being built at a
rate OF one year, causes the hair on
the heads of the gentlemen of the
school board to wax thin and gray.
This business of coming before the
great and good people OF lola once a

out of room is getting to be burden
to them and ii is but matter OF time
until the nominees will demand a
salary before they will take up the
school burden.

MIGHT HIVE BEEN WORSE
Caught Under Roof of Golf
Millinery Store and Des-
trOyed Three Frame
Buildings
HOTEL SAVED
Only by Courageous Work
and the Timely Arrival
of the "Little Squirt
Gun"

Fire which caught beneath the cell
ing and the roof of the Guf Millinery
store in the frame building north Of
the Pennsylvania Hotel about 0
o'clock last Saturday destroyed the
building in which were also located
l.. g. Beatty's Office aud the Baird
barber mop.
When Mrs. &. Golf reached the
store that morningshe heard u suspi-
cious cracking sound, but was unable
to locate it although she looked over
building. A bout an hour later the
fire showed in the ceiling where it
burned between the boards and paper.
Then the alarm was given and ready
hands quickly dismantled the milli-
merry and the adjacent rooms. Every
thi' e was saved except the buildings
which were twenty-five years old and
owned by the Fisher sisters, owners
of the hotel. The fire evidently
caught from the fiue and smouldered
quietly for some hours before il was
discovered as it seemed to break out
simultaneously, the entire length Of
the building which was dry as powder
and burned quickly and fiercely.
AS much OF the frames were torn
down before the fire reached them,
the heat was somewhat mitigated,
but the hotel aud the stone building
occupied by the meat market and the
telephone exchange were in serious
danger. The stairway leading to the
second floor where the telephone ex-
change is located caught fire and
burned partly away. When the south
wing of the building burned the hotel
began to smoke. The chemical engine
had been exhausted In . vain effort to
smother the fire under the roof Of the
Con store and nothing seemed to
stand between the hotel and destruct.
ION but the y lid finging Of water from
buckets against the side of the hotel
not high enough to reach :the place
most threatened. The engine was re-
charged and appeared just IN time to
save the hotel, as the are was burn
ing low when the engine again went
dry.
The fact that there were three, wells
available 10 the hotel yard was of great
help as water came from every direct
ion. Bert Smith and several other
men did honest and unsparing work
in the hottest places and deserve
great credit for their voluntary help.
The buildings aud stock were in
sured, but nothing was lost. of the
latter.
