ASHEVILLE.
"The Land of the Sky"-Western
North Carolina.

North Carolina.
At an altitude of nearly $500 feet
above the sea Asheville is one of Ma
ture's most charming sanitariums.
Here, as nowhere else, are to be found,
in greatest perfection, ideal climatic
conditions: for neither In summer nor
winter are there extremes in tempera-
ture, the seasons being marked by the
calendar rather than by the weather.
The temperature maps prepared by
the national government show that
there is formed by the peculiar typo
graphical conditions existing on the
Asheville Plateau the ideal thermal
belt of America. AS a health and
pleasure resort 1t has no superior. The
air is balmy and eXhlarating, the ele-
walton guarantees purity of atmos-
phere most potent in it's influences
upon sufferers from throat and ner-
vous diseases. Those who visit the
place once will be disposed to do so
again; and the fact that some of the
best hotels in the country are found
there will complete the allurements to
visitors seeking health or pleasure.
The months of April and May are
the most charming season of tie year
to visit Asheville and "The Land of
the Sky" 1t is easily reached as the
Washington and Southwestern Limit
ed, the Southern railway, carrying

There will be no new school buildings

but that was long enough for them 10
decide definitely on this much-mooted
point. 1t was the intention of the
committee to have an extended ses-
sion to make up its estimate and fix
the tax levy. but as several Of its mem-
bers had to meet with the building
committee, ana that body unexpected
ly kept going till nearly 9 o'clock, the
finance committee decided to put Off
the work of making its report till some
night next week. to be agreed upon
later.
There is a possibility. which, how
ever, hardly amounts 20 a proba bility,
that it will be necessary to build an
addition to the high school. If such
is done. the cost will be met with "a
bond issue. The likelihood though is
that ii will not be done. If the build
ing will not accommodate the high
school pupils, the training school will
be transferred to some other building,
and this will, It is expected accommo-

ADAMS AVENUE FIRE.
Started in the Double Frame Build
ing Owned by James Chandler
at 500 anG 511.

One of the city's most densely built.
up residential districts, the 500 block of
Adams avenue,was last night the scene
of what, for a time, threatened to be a
disastrous blaze. 1t started in James
Chandler's double, frame, dwelling
house, Nos. 500 and 511. occupied by
DR.. II. n. Dunnell and John Bogart.
The Bogart family left their house
for the theatre, shortly after supper
time. About 9 o'clock, c. f. Potter.
who lives in Breck court, just to the
rear, saw smoke coming from the
Bogart kitchen, and, rushing over, dis
covered the interior to be a mass OF
flames.
Box No. 25 corner of Adams avenue
and Olive street, is only block away,
yet, according to the neighbors. it was
twelve minutes by actual timing before
an alarm was turned in. Mr.. Potter
says his inability to secure a key
caused the delay, the first several key
holders whose houses he visited being
away.
At all events, the flames had eaten
their way through the rear wall of the
house and to the rooms above the
kitchen, before the Phoenix Chemical
company, the first to arrive, reached
the scene. A huge column OF smoke
was ascending skyward, and the whole
neighborhood was thoroughly alarmed
A double chemical stream from the
Phoenix engine. a single stream from
the Nay Aug chemical and some we'll
directed work by the Crystals with a
stop-nozzle water pipe succeeded In
preventing the fire from spreading.
The kitchen, on the ground floor; one
bedroom and the bath room on the
second floor, and the porch in the real
were badly burned, the kitchen, es-
pecially, suffering.
The dining room, parlor and hallway
with all they contained. were drenched
with chemical and water The furni-
ture. pictures, carpets and drtpery are
for the most part. a total loss. Water
damaged On. Dunnell's kitchen and
dining room and flooded his cellar The
flames, however, did not reach his side
of the house.
The origin of the fire is not known
but 1t is supposed some hot Goals from
the cooking stove fell on the floor and
ignited the carpet. The center of the
blaze seemed to be just in front of the
stove. The losses are all covered BY
insurance.
The new water battery was run tC
the fire by the Crystals. but it was mo-
brought into service. Nothing but tn,
warmest praise was heard for the
quick responses made by the firemen
and the business-like way in which
they went about their work.
