The fire started in a bath room
in the dormitory on the top floor
and was discovered before it
gained very great headway and
at first it was thought it could
beput out with water available
on the premises. The fire de-
partment was summoned as
soon as the FIRE was discovered,
however. Many pals of water
were put on the fire but it gain
ed steadily and the sisters and
reighbors who hurried to the
scene were forced to give up the
fight. Many Of the children
were asleep when the fire broke
out and they were then taken to
the homes of people nearby.
Later a number were taken
down town. Hacks were sent
for the little ones by many citi-
zens who wanted to do some
thing for them.

IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA
H. A., Storrs Visits Southern
California and Gives Inter-
esting story of Trip

Mr. II. A. Storrs, US. Reclaim
alton Engineer has recently re-
turned from a trip of several
weeks to Southern California
and reports that that section OF
the country was getting more
th;n it's usual share of rain this
year, just as the more northerly
sections of the country are get
ting more than their usual share
of snow. He found while passing
thru Nevada in the early part OF
December that more snow had
fallen there thanin a good many
previous years and as a conse-
quence the mining camps at Ton
opth and vicinity were suffering
from the lack of fuel. Wood
was selling at $26, a cord and
the supply practically exhausted
and the snow SO deep in the
mountains that is was uncertain
when any more wood could be
obtained. The people had con-
fscated two or three carloads Of
railroad ties which happened to
be on side track.
This early fall of snow had
spread even far down into Ariz-
ona and a corresponding heavy
fall of rain had occurred in
Southern California. This is
the third consecutive year with

FARMERS
INSTITUTE
The most Important Institute
Ever heldin State at Willis
ton Feb. 4th. 9Th and 9th

Meetings that will result in a
great deal of profit to all those
interested in the varions branch
es Of agriculture Will be held at
Williston on Feb. 4th, 9Th and
9th at the court house. These
meetings will be open to all farm
ers and stock1nen are asked to
be present to give their ex-
perience in farm and stock rails
ing and to listen to the lectures
given by the authorities on
these subjects from the states Of
Montana and North Dakota.
Williston has been exceptionally
fortunate in securing both corps
of instructors from Montana
and North Dakota and the re-
suit should be a great help to
the farmers here, as we are situa-
ted so near the Montana line
that the benefits of experiments
in. that state should be very.
helpful to those living in this Vi
cinity, 1t is expected that the
entire lecturing force from esch
state will be in attendance, as
they, have been invited and have
agreed to cooperate and it is
hoped that very cheap rates to
and from Williston will be IN eff
feet upon the. railroads. The in.
stitnte held at WiMston last
year WAS said blythe North Da-
kota authorities to be one ofthe
best-if not the best-instit1.te in
the state and everybody who is
interested in making his farm
profitable should attend these
meetings as advice that may be
worth hundreds and thousands
ofdollars to the settlers OF this
county will be given free OF
charge. The experiment sta
tions from which the lecturers
get much OF their authority are
maintained by the state at a
great expense and it will be the
fault of every farmer if he does
not attend these meetings and
get the benefits of the results
that have been obtained at the
experiment stations.
A more detailed account of the
meeting and OF the subjects to
be discussed will besgiven in the
next issue of this paper.
