FOREST GROVE BURNS.

A special dispatch to the Demo-
crat over the Mutual telephone
gave all of the available particu-
lars of the burning of the Forest
Grove hotel this morning.
The fire was started in the kitch-
en- of the hotel at 1890 O'Clock this
morning from the explosion of some
floor paint which was being warm
ed preparatory to being used on the
floor. Within five minutes after the
explosion, the entire hotel building
was wrapped in flames and al
though bucket brigade of some
elght or ten men who happened to
be about the place was Immediately
formed and did all in their power to
arrest the progress of the fire, moth
ing could be accomplished. The on
ly things saved from the hotel were
the piano belonging to Mrs. Millsap
and some of her pictures. A stiff
wind was blowing at the time and
this made it all the more difficult
to handle the fire. 1t was thought
for time that the new hall which
is located about 100 feet north OF
the hotel would also surely go but
hard work kept the fire from get
ting a start on this building.
The hotel belonged to Mrs. M. e.
Frost. She has conducted hotel
there for many years. About two
years ago she built an extensive
addition to the old building. The
loss will reach about 50 900, none or
which is covered by insurance. f,
c. Millsap was also heavy loser.

The first of three declamatory con-
tests which will be held for the pur-
pose of selecting a declaimer to repre-
sent the Fergus County Free High
school in the inter-scholastic contest
which will be held in Missoula about
the middle of May, was held Friday
eve ming which comfortably filled the
assembly room of the high school
building. There were four contestants
and they all acquitted themselves most
creditably.
After double selection by the high
school orchestra, Georgia Stuart re-
cited Good Night, Papa" Although
the speaker received but very little
training for the contest she did very
we'll indeed, eliciting hearty applause
from the audience. Charles Grupe re +.
cited ''The Soul of the Violin" Charles
is declaimer of unusual talent, hav-
ing been chosen to represent his school
at the last intercollegiate. He has a
wonderfully impressive voice and his
gestures are graceful and impressive.
Following Charles defamation
came a vocal selection by the high
school quintet comporsed of Mary
Campbell, Hazel Belden, Gladys Win

ton These pretty high school Misses
made distinct hit with their singing.
Keith Caldwell next recited Lincoln

ME Coryell was the last speaker on the
program and made a fine impression,
She has a sweet, well modulated voice

Real Estate Owner Disposes of Two
Hundred Sixty-Two Lots to
John Quincy Adams.
Ten THOUSAND DOLLAR DEAL
Parties to the contract Refuse to
Divulge the Exact Amount of
Money Involved.

George Stafford last week practically
retired from the real estate business
in Lewistown through one deal which
was put through by Geo. w. Cook. Mr.,
Stafford sold to John Quincy Adams OF
Chicago, two hundred and sixty-twu
city lots, all but three or four of which
are located out at the end of
Sixth, Seveth and Fights avenues
and extend as far out as the
city cemetery. They are comprised in
what Is known as Stafford's Fifth ad-
dition to the city Of Lewistown and
We're plated about two years ago.
None of the parties to the contract
would give the exact purchase price,
but 1t is known to be in the neighbor-
hood of $40 per lot, which makes the
total amount Of money received by Mr..
Stafford is approximately 10000
The transaction was made on cash
basis as are all the deals which Mr.
Adams has made in Fergus county.
George Stafford has been in the real
estate business in Lewistown ever
since the town was started He had
taken up under the then existing land
laws great deal OF land which is now
a part Of the municipality of Lewis
town. AS the town grew, he plated
his ground and disposed of the lots. 1t
Is safe to say that he sold, all told, one
thousand lots in LewistoWn. The only
lots which he retained at the time of
his big sale last week are those upon
which his residence is situated on up-
per Main street
Mr.. j. Q. Adams, who purchased the
city lots from Stafford is now undoubt-
edly the largest individual holder OF
real estate, town and country in Fer
gus county. Although he did not en-
Ter the real estate field until about
three months age, he has plIrcha sed
over quarter of million dollars
worth of land here. This includes the
immense real estate holdings of Jo-
seph Sims, located along the Mussel-
shell river in the southern part of the
county the places of John Shea and n.
a. Lewis and one or two smaller tracts
near Philbrook, the Hassett place near
Garnelll, the Shipman place on the
lower judith and the Stafford lots in
this city. He has the greatest faith in
the future of Fergus county and is
showing his faith by his heavy invest
ments. He never buys anything on
time but pays the cash when he
makes the deal.
