THE new ARGYLE
TO BE, ERECTED
Landlord Huffman Accepts
Plans for His Three-Story
Brick Hotel.
Present Outlook Is That Work
Will Be Commenced in
the Spring.

If nothing unforeseen happens, by
another new year Oakes will have a
modern, up-to-date brick hotel. Archi-
tect Westergard submitted plans the
past week to w. D. Huffman for the
construction of the New Argyle, and
the plans have been accepted. Mr.. Huff
man says the hotel is go if he has the
support and good will of the citizens of
Oakes, and that can always be de-
pended on for worthy enterprise of
any kind.
The New Argyle will be three stories,
with high basement. 1t will have a
fifty-foot frontage on Union street on
the site of the old Argyle and and will
run back on Second Street 11O feet.
Considerable stone will be use i in the
trimmings.
The building will be erected in L.
shape and will have fifty rooms. Every
room will have an outside opening and
everything will be done to make it as
safe from fire as possible. A barber
shop and billiard hall will occupy the
basement.
1t is estimated the building will cost
in the neighborhood of $25, 1000.

AWFUL SCENES AT MEssINA
Vandalism of Worst Kind Follows
Catastrophe.


Rome. Dec. 30.-The disaster in
the province of Calabria and the ISL
and of Sicily has assumed staggering
proportions. Alessina alone reports
10000 victims, but it is feared that
this is only partial list of the dead
and wounded. Reports are coming in
from other towns giving estimates of
dead therein from 500 up to several
thousand.
Vandalism of the worst kind has
broken out and the government has
adopted the most energetic and most
severe measures for its repression.
Robbers and looters are shot on sight.
The prison at Messina collapsed.
Some of the prisoners were killed, but
the survivors made their escape and
Joined the "hooligans" who were sack
ing the city. Such confusion reigned
that the robbers met with no resist
ance. The local chief of police lies
dead in the ruins of mis- office.
The barracks at Messina were de-
molished. The commander of the
troops was killed outright and there
are many Victims among the enlisted
men.
The robbers pillaged the ruins of
shattered buildings and even stole
clothing and valuables from the

The devsslntion over the entire dis.

was most severe along the shores OF
the Straits of Messina, where the cit.
les Of Messina and Reggie are stu
ated. In more than one town the
shocks caused gas meters to explode
and disastrous tires resulted. The
flames helped greatly to swell the
death list.
