discovered the flames had made such
Roadway that it was impossible to
check them and with high wind blow.

Des Moines, April 22.--State Fish
and Game Warden George A. Lincoln
appeared before the executive council
yesterday afternoon and uesought per.
mission to use part of the providen.
tial contigent fund to help, him out
of the dilemma in which he was left
by the forgetfulness of the senate in
failing to appropriate for the fish and
game commission. The council re.
fused him this permission, the ground
taken being that the contingency was
not such one as would properly call
for use of moneys from this fund. In
the course of yesterday Mr.. Lincoln
talked the matter over with the mem
bers of the council. in the effort to
find some way out of the di.iculty. In
this he was at least partly success.
full.
The plan favored by the council to
enable the fish and game commission
work to proceed is fer Mr.. Lincoln to
obtain a loan of r.oney from some
person interested in the work of the
commission, with the understanding
the council will recommend to the
next legislature that an appropriation
be made to repay the sum so obtained.
Mr.. Lincoln says there are plenty of
sources whence the money can be
obtained, as there is widespread inter
est in the work of the fish and game
commission throughout the state.

ENTIRE BLOCK is BURNED
RED OAK SUFFERS SEVERE LOSS
FROM FIRE.
Damage Reaches Nearly $225, 900
Fire Department Unable to Cope
With the Flames


Red Oak, April 25.-Fire swept the
business section of Red Oak at an
early hour yesterday morning and
destroyed one entire block in the bust.
ness section of the city, entailing
loss of from $4,000 to 1926 900. OF
this amount not more than one-third
or one-half is covered by insurance.
The fire started in the basement of
the H. B. Houghton block, located at
the southeast corner of the square
This building Is occupied as bank
and Office building. From there it
swept across the street to the west
and burned the entire block from
street to street before the flames
were gotten under control.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t is supposed that it started from the
heating plant Of the building, but
spontaneous combustion has also been
suggested. a moderate high wind
was blowing and this was sufficient
to carry the sparks and flames across
the street to the westward, where
there We're number of frame build
ings, implement houses. etc.
The fire started little after three
o'clock in the morning and burned with
such rapidity that within an hour the
entire block, distance of three hun.
@dred feet, was in flames.
Red Oak has a good fire department
for town of it's size, having a volun-
teer department Of one hundred and
twenty men and four hose carts. Four
or five streams of water were played
on the flame at one time but the build
ings were so dry and the flames had
obtained such Roadway that Il was i'm
possible to subdue the contlagration
on the south side of the square.
The intense heat broke a number
of plate glass windows in the build.
ings to the north Of the fire, both on
the east and west sides of the square.
1t was with difficulty that the flames
were prevented from spreading to
these other parts of the business cen.
ter, and only the most heroic work
on the part of the fire department
saved an almost total loss to the city.
The livery stable of w. c. Lockart
contained much inflammable material
and helped to communicate the fire
to the other buildings in the immeti,
late vicinity.
There were no accidents in connec.
ton with the fire and no lives lost or
imperiled.
