patriotism of the state by his vigorous
appeals, one of the typesetters came
in from the composing room and, plant

With mingled sensations of pride and

J y Moore went up to Webster
Saturday evening.
Mrs. Granger left Sunday evening
for Webster TO visit with relatives
and friends
Mss Olson, Of Webster, spent
Thanksgiving the guest Of Mrs.John
Thorsgaard.
Roy Fish, of Webster, and Ray
Palmer, OF Waubay, spent little
while with Ortley friends Tuesday
afternoon.
Saturday night, shortly after six
o'clock, fire was discovered in the
elevator belonging to the Ortley
Elevator company, commonly known
as the Anderson elevator. When
first discovered the fire had already
spread over the entire drive way and
work floor and had gained such head
way that, in the absence of any ade-
quate fire protection, il was impossi-
BILE to do anything to check the
flames or save anything from the
building. and all efforts concentrated
on saving the coal sheds. and other
elevators, the near by buildings and
a couple of cars of coal which were
standing on the track near the ele-
vator and which were pushed to a
place of safety. As the flames
reached the upper part of the eleva-
tor, the burning shingles and siding
were carried by the wind for nearly
half mile, aud several small fires
were set. The barn and hay back
of the Griffis Il Dennis store caught
fire as did the roof of the Stratton
harness shop and pile of straw
back OF the Grooms home, but by
prompt work these were extinguished
and no serious damage was done.
Had it not been for the fact that the
ground was covered with snow, it
would have been a difficult matter
to have saved the east side of town,
as brisk north wind was blowing.
The Waubay fire department
responded quickly to call for help
and had their chemical engine at the
station ready to bring down, but it
was decided here that il would not
be necessary after all and message
to that effect was sent. A number
of the members of the department
and others came over and rendered
assistance as did the farmers from
all around and number from Sum-
init, and to all OF these Ortley
extends her heartiest thanks. The
elevator was one of the first to
be built in Ortley and was the prop
erty of stock company, of which
G. f. Anderson was the organizer
and principal director. The loss
was total aud covered by insurance.
