The "k|ondike" and B|ackburn's
Restaurant Burn TO the Ground.
Heroic Work of Firemen Saved the Press
Building and St. Charles.

AT halt-past ten thursday even
ing fire was discovered in the
basement of the Klondike. The
first alarm was followed almost
Immediately by a second, and
others followed in quick success
sion as the flames burst out and
enveloped the entire building.
There was very little wind,
what there was coming from a
little west of north.
All looked to see the PRESS
building go next; but the fire
backed up west and devoured the
Blackburn restaurant.
With the thermometer register
tering % degrees below zero,
thoroughly chilled and coated
with ice, the 6remen worked
heroically tearing down the burn
ing buildings and striving to con-
troll the fire demon.
Once and yet again fire broke
through into the PRESS rooms;
and not until it came through in
the third place were the belong
ings of this paper carried into the
street.
To Joe Leisch perhaps more
than to any other one man
belongs the credit of saving the
Odd Fellows building and PRESS
rooms. Making his way through
the dense volume ofsmoke on the
second floor he located the blaze
and was able with a bucket brig
ade of two or three to extinguish
it and the fremen we're able to
keep the building from catching
again.
Water was had from the N. P.
round house and without it Dick
inson would today be minus sew
eral more buildings than she is, the
city we'll furnishing only a drop
in the bucket. Trainmaster
Rapelje telegraphed to Richard
ton that all trains be held there so
as not to interfere with the hose
from the round house acros the
tracks; and both he and Foreman
White did everything in their
power to assist the brave fremen.
Both the burned buildings be-
longed to Ed. ]. Berry of Glendive
and we're insured for $4,000; Dick
Blackburn occupied the western
one as a restaurant. His stock
was insured for $3.50. The Klon-
dixie fixtures we're insured for
$500 and Charles Nolan, occupant,
carried 5000 on stock. Loss on
the Odd Fellows building (PREss
building) it is thought will not be
more than $500. The Odd Eel

The Forests Of the Am..on.

According, to some astronomers the
greenish patches on the planet Mars
indicate woodland regions, and a scien-
ust predicts that centuries after the
e of this earth has become as barren
as the mountains Of the moon Marian
astronomers will still distinguish here
bright green spots Of considerable ex-
tent near the east coast Of South Amer
lea. The forests of the Amazon valley,
ne thinks, are practically determination
proof. An average of 1000 rank trees,
shrubs and creepers cover every acre
OF ground and a years neglect is
enough to obliterate all traces Of the
most thorough clearing. A film Of spon-
@neous vegetation soon covers the de-
serted field, trees shoot up and the
sylvan deities resume their ancient
sway.

to the cast wall of the Dakota
State bank building.
The Klondike building is an old
land mark. The county was or
gained in 1883 and for a year the
Greene drug store was used for
county purposes. In 1884 N. C.
Lawrence erected the Klondike
building and rented it to the couny,
which was SO used until the pres
ent brick court house was erected
IN 1886. N. c. Lawrence and At
torney Gibson then had offices in
the adjoining building on the west
which burned Thursday night with
the Klondike.
FIRE NOTES.

Ed. Berry Friday morning read:

No. 4. Re build at once.
Will Dickinson delay until a
general conhagration eats up her
business section before an ade-
, quate system of water works is in
stalled7
Without N. P. water where
would Dickinson be? And yet
we do not need water works, say
some.
1t there are anybraver or cooler
headed 6remen anywhere than
Dickinson has, we would like to
see them-and then we won't be
convinced.
Ed. Berry arrived in the city
Friday morning and stated to the
PRESS that he would commence at
once the erection of a two story
brick building 50 feet by 80 feet.
fitted for store rooms below and
offices above. He hopes that the
Odd Fellows will build with him,
and it is possible that the Dakota
State bank will extend theirbuild-
ing back 80 feet at the same time.
The Press people appreciate
the kindness of their friends who
put the PRESS outfit in a place
OF safety Thursday night when it
seemed the building must burn.

M. E. CHURCH.
you'll be sorry tomorrow-sorry
For the harsh word said today.
Yon will wish you had waited q little
Till the i'll word passed away.
You will grieve for the friend you wounded,
But you'll grove till your heart is sore
For the strife and sin that entered in .
When anger set wide the door,
There are some things which we
allow to come into our lives for which
there is no forgiveness-not because
God cannot or will not forgive but be-
cause we will not forgive ourselves.
The words of love and appreciation
which are due our friends but were left
unsaid, and the acts of kindness with
held from those who needed them and
which we could have given-for these
there is no forgiveness. You will blame
and ccuse yourself as you would not
allow any n else for having neglected
these ministries of love-yes, having
withheld them-and you will never
n~ever-forget the sin you committed.
But if you let Jesus into your life he
will keep you from making this mis-
take.
All are cordially invited to the Sun
day services where you may learn these
valuable lessons. F. w. Gress, pastor.
