state, a travelling library with its f6ii
equipment, and set of all rublica-

valuable manuscript. nearly ready for
the press, was swept away
1t is not too much to say that the
loss sustained by the commission can
not be estimated. Much cannot be
replaced, and all that can be made
good must be laboriously produced
from the scanty records and publica-

with its main lines of work steadily.
and that all activities may be resum-

A meeting of the commission will
be held at the earliest possible date
and decision made on the detailed
plans. 1t is believed that plans may
be carried out as announced and that
the summer school, which offers an
exceptionally fine supplementary
course this year. as well as the usual
elementary course, may be held as

The duties of the commits sion are

At this place the offices of the state
treasurer were open at o'clock for
the regular transaction of business.
All the furniture of the department
that was TO be moved was saved with
little loss except for breakage sus-
tanned in the haste of getting out.
There was only some $4,000 in cash in
the vault at the time Of the fire. This,
with all the other valuables and rec
ords was saved. The same is true of
the records in all the important offices.
Starts in Cloak Room.
The greatest damage was wrought
in the center of the building surround
ing the dome, in those departments ra-
dating from the center of the rotunda
of the capitol. The fire started direct
ly over the Office of the state board of
agriculture in cloak and toilet room
and spread to ali the immediate vicin-
ity, travelling first to the assembly and
senate chambers of the legislative
bodies. The four departments under
the senate and assembly chambers
were wholly destroyed.

burned out, together with large part
of the records therein contained. The
next department to the south on the
same side of the corridor, that of Hal
ford Erickson, commissioner of labor
and industrial statistics, was also COM
pletely destroyed, together with all the
valuable and extensively gathered sta
tistics of the department. Commits
sioner Erickson was able to establish
temporary headquarters in the rooms
of the Forty Thousand club in the Full
Ter opera house block.
Food Department Suffers.
Across the corridor from the statis-
tical department the state dairy and
food department was badly damaged
Inspector James T. Moore was able to
save his travelling case and a letter
file, but the rest of the departments
property went the way of the flames
practically in its entirety.
Slight Damage Near Origin.
Next to the dairy and food depart
ment, and directly underneath the
place of the origin of the fire, is the
office of the secretary of the state
board of agriculture, John NJ. True.
One OF the strangest things about the
fire was that this Office was practically
unchanged. A foot of water stands
on the floor now, but the secretary's
desk and other furniture were not
even singed. The supposed fireproof
constructor was helpful.

Loss Less Than Anticipated.

OF the building being quick to follow
the assembly chamber into ruins.
Loss Less Than Anticipated.
When the fire was extinguished it
was found that the extent of the dam
age was by far less than at first antic-
ipated. The departments of the i'm
portant administrative functions of
the state government were not greatly
damaged in respect to records and the
damage to the building itself is not so
great even as to preclude the POSSIBLE
ity of reconstruction were such a
course deemed wise. Perhaps $780,
900, in the opinion of architects who
have examined the ruins, would re-
store the burned portions. The depart.
ments of the governor, secretary of
state, treasurer, and attorney general
are substantially unchanged and all
their records are safe. The destruc-
ton was extensive in the second floor
and here the fire had its widest
spread. The state treasury agents Of
flee was unchanged alone of all the
second floor, except the supreme court
and law library quarters.
