Grafton OF Women's clubs last May a

Tsceminicum club at its last meeting
to act with the chairman Mrs. H. X.
Barnett to gather historical data for
this section of the state. The commit

Mrs. Leeper.
The discussion at the federation
meeting developed the belief that much
valuable historical matter Of the early
period was in danger of being lost be-
cause there was no method being made
to preserve 1t. The early pioneers are
rapidly passing away and incidents
within their recollection will son be lost
If not conserved by some such action.
The local committees will report to
the district federation which meets
again in May and their combined re-
port will In all probability be sent to
the state historical society.

doors away and the Pacific Saloon

rant was owned by Geo. H. Adams and

fifteen minutes the entire stable was
empty with the exception Of the hay
which was kept in a loft in the rear
stable. Buggies, carriages, harness and

horses were placed in a corral nearby.
During the progress of the fire the

building adjoining the restaurant on
