HIGH SCHOOL BURNED
Fire, starting in furnace
room in basement of
building completely
destroys building

Last Thursday night about mid
night fire was discovered in the
high school building, and the cit
liens of Castle Rock were called
from their peaceful slumbers to
try to save the building from com
plete obstruction. The fire alarm
was given by an engineer on a
Rio Grande freight train which
just pulled into town as the fire
was gaining headway. The peo-
pie were soon on the scene and
did their utmost to save the build
ing but all to no avail. The fire
it seems, had started in the base
ment in the furnace end of the
building, and had gained such
headway when discovered that it
was beyond all control and moth
ing could be done to check its pro
gress. The most that could be
done was to watch adjoining build
ings to keep the fire from spread
ing.
By the time the people arrived
at the fire the heat of the building
was SO intense and the smoke so
thick that it was impossible to get
inside the building. All that is
left of the once magnificent
school building is the blackened
and crumbling walls. The east
end of the wall of the building
fell while the fire was hottest, and
the west wall is dangerously lean
ing over. When the east wall
fell it broke the telephone line
which runs along close to the
building and cut off all connec.
tions to points north.
The entire High School equip
ment consisting of a well equipped
laboratory, a fine reference lib
rary, and all the school house fur
niture, which. probably altogeth
er was probably valued at about
So, 900 was a total loss, as was
also some of the valuable records
which Prof Ward had kept since
he began teaching school here,

the building, plans for a new
building are now being drawn.

MORE ORDERLY, THIS TIME.

u HE Sunday Star was in good humor yes

a "brck" Of straw which THE JOURNAL threw
at the Major. But whatever it was it accom-
pshed more than we hoped, for the Stars re-
p ply yesterday was without an exhibition OF dis
orderly conduct that marked its first effort in
defence of the Major. The Star now concludes
made a mistake when we referred TO the
friends of the Major, and we trust the Star will
soon see that it was mistake of its own con-
juring.
Our neghbor should not object to our con-

we did Since the first of the year the Star has
got big, boated, the editor has hidden himself
under a comic supplement blanket and it takes
little time to reach him. Quite struggle, we

The Star thinks that it could get a clean bill

a mistake in referring to friction We hope the
Star could get words of commendaton from the
Captain for that would show what big heart
the Captain has. We have no doubt that as the

improvements in the operation OF the

the company desired more efficient re-
suits here.
IL was even said that the Pennsyl-

will require an experienced staff in

what these plans might be officials Of
tho company disclaimed all knowledge.

criticism of the manner in which the

that the passenger traffic on the Penn

DISCUSSING THE MELON.

A was to be expected, the cutting OF a melon,
as the expression goes in financial circles,
by the Delaware Railroad Company has attracted
comment from the State newspapers. The Mil
ford Chronicle and the Dover Index have
started the ball rolling. The Chronicle does not
think that the people of the State, the general
public have shared in the melon cutting, as they
could share by having freight rates reduced, and
the Index thinks that melon growing in general
by corporations hoodwinks the public in that it
looks as if exorbitant profits were made out OF
the people.
The Chronicle suggests a state railway COM
ton by favoring a general public service corpor-
alton commission 20 regulate all public service
corporations. The Index some time ago, we
think, made similar suggestion, and THE
JOURNAL has now and then referred TO the
matter. We have not been very keen for it in
the past, because we have thought that If the
State had commission the corporation would
be ably represented in it. and a commission
would probably amount 10 little However such
fears should not be sufficient reason for not
considering the question. Some day we shall
doubtless have such commission. We ought
TO have one.
Certain it is that the enormous profits made
by the company, which profits however are at
trIbuted by the company largely to the through
freight business are not likely to the farm
ers TO cease clamoriNg for lower freight rates
and for other things, although as railroad
man says such matters can always be carried to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
