The third general and most disas
trous fire in the history of Hous-
tonia occurred here "wednesday,
morning, Sept. 30, when an entire
block Of brick business buildings
were destroyed by the fiery mon
ster.
The blaze originated in. the par
tition between the Houstonia Nero,
Co., and A. T. Dorsey's store, next
to the chimney and close to the
ceiling.
The two above mentioned build
ings, and j. c. Longan's and Lon
gan & Sewell's drug store were DIES
troyed, the latter building contain
ing the postoffice, the contents of
which were destroyed with the ex-
ception OF the records and stamps.
The two small iron sheathed
buildings south of the drug store
one OF which was stored full of
baled hay, and the other occupied
by the Houstonia Spectator, were
saved only by the hardest work.
The total losses on buildings and
mercantile stocks will aggregate
$4,000, with a total insurance Of
$15,600.
The owners OF the burned build
ings will be rebuilt as soon as pos
sible.

Once in the corridor Mrs. Dimes put

You need have no fear as to that"
Miss Winstanley fastened, assuringly.

OF the hideous program which she
mapped out, and her cleverness has

WHAT THE WEST WANTS.

Henry Clay was an adept in pic
turing the future of the golden west
in glowing words. To him the
west" meant Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois, and Kentucky, says the Chi
cago Tribune. He urged the protec-
ton OF its industries, the building of
roads for its development, and the
encouragement of its people in every
way. Visitors from the east, at
tracted to the central states by the
roseate descriptions or such leaders,
went back home to sing the praises
of the new land beyond the noun
tains.
The same sort of process is wit
messed now. Visitors to the "west"
are returning from Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Utah, and other COM
monwealths, telling of the glories
they have seen. Many OF them de-
clare their intention to join the
great army Of homeseekers who are
pressing into these new lands of
promise. Their enthusiasm merely
reflects the feeling of those already
settled beyond a more distant range
OF mountains than that which form
ed barrier for the Ioneer of a
century ago. al
The expressions which come from
the irrigation congress at Spokane
indicate the belief of the west" in
itself. It knows what 1t wants. IL
does not hesitate to declare its
needs. II does not use a foot rule
or pint cup in its measurements.
Nothing but large scale will satisfy
1t. as 1t looks out upon the posi-
bilities. And II must be confessed
that there Is something contagious in
the confidence which every western
man feels in the certain future. As
a stimulus to patriotic pride it can
not be surpassed.
The "west" wants money. Il
wants lots of II. Specifically, II
wants $4,000, 900, 600. It will share
part of 1t with thearest of the coun-
try. But its own projects will re-
quire much of the vast amount The
money is to be divided into five
equal parts and is to be used for
reclamation of arid lands by irriga-
ton, for deep waterways, for good
roads. for conservation of forest re-
sources, and for drainage of swamp
lands. Five billion dollars is a great
amount, The vision OF the Atlantic
coast citizen would never reach so
far. II is the. expectant ives"
which ses far ahead, outlines the
needs, and looks forward with a
hopeful spirit in the direction of
great accomplishments.
