ing The total losses Will probably
aagregate $4,000. Tho only way of
fighting the flames was with bucket
brigade, and Ior u time II appeared
that the whole town was doomed.
The fire was started In the Peerer
& Greenwood pool hall ut about the
center Of the building. The persons
who started the fire soaked the in
terror with Kerosene, and when Night
Natchman Joe Randolph discovered
tho blaze, the flames were Issuing
from all sides Of the building. Al tne

Of tie budding as was possible.
TIE pool bali was, of course, de-
s;toyed first. Next the confectionery
store OF c. II. Rogers, former county
clerk, was completely destroyed. Mr.
Rogers loss on building and contents
will amount to about 5000. lie
carried $500 Insurance on the build

large quantity Of meats, freshly pre-
pared for the Sunday trade and a
$500 refrigerator were desu1 ed In

Smyth. The other goods and con-
tents were saved The build ng in
which the butcher shop was located Is
also the property Of c. f. Rogers.
The two-story hotel, owned by Ty-
Ter broters and operated by Mrs. Col

with no insurance TO cover the loss.
The building. which was valued at
! $4,000. had Just been remode ed and
decorated. Mrs. Collins furniture

entire contents. was destroyed. 1t was
occupied by the Conway confectionery
store and the Lucas barber sh.p. The

places sustained losses Of broken wn-
dows and removed goods. The skia-

COMING TO ITS OWN.

We are glad to note the step taken
on the part of the stockholders of the
West Cache Canal company to form
an Irrigation District. This is some
thing that should have been done int
mediately after passage of the law
authorizing the establishment of ir-
rigation districts four years ago. The
stockholders have been harrassed and
embarrassed long enough, and it is
time these good people were getting
their holdings in settled state so
that they can enjoy themselves, and
improve their valuable farms. The
burden has been excessively heavy on
few, while others who have, either
directly or indirectly profited by the
canal, have gone scott free. This is not
right, and the provisions of the law
to bring all the land within certain
specified areas into an irrigation dis.
trict, so that the burden may be dis
tributed pro rata among those enjoy
ing the benefits is reasonable and Just

ton of the stockholders.

As TO ss.v'aa.

When the Mayor and the CONNER.
cial Boosters got busy on the paving
business OF the city some time ago,
the people did not fully realize the
good that would be accomplished. At
the meeting Of the council Wednesday
evening Engineer Humphreys COM
pletely put It all over the paving COM
mittee. He and the mayor had evid-
emily gone over the matter, and ar
rived at the conclusion that the people
ought to have the advantage of the
best and most modern developments
In the art of concrete. Think Of "
taxpayers. You are paying twenty
per centmore than is necessary for you
to pay to get first class job of paw
ing. And again, saving OF two
thousand dollars to the taxpayers in
one district alone by using the most
modern in the use OF concrete. Ought
not the people to appreciate the work
of the mayor and the club.
Now we don't want the people to
draw wrong conclusion. The con-
tractors are not being over-paid for
the work. In fact the engineer gives
the council credit for letting the work
at lower price per foot, as per speci
fications. than work OF this kind is
let for in any up-to-date city that he
knows Of The crime is with the or
dinance. Instead Of using their time
TO get up-to-date and save money for
the people. the dominating figures on

ance is back number and should
