The chief found that the interior OF

the fire crept out under the door and
ignited the excelsior which was
around the buggies causing the cost
ly blaze.
The department was called out al

blaze in the building had difficulty in
combating with the flames as the
building was filled with a dense
smoke which came from the Grated
buggies packed 80 thickly that it was
impossible to move them until mum
Der had been consumed. By strenu-
Gus effort, two men were able to
stand for a minute and pull out
crate and were then obliged to dror
to the floor again to breathe.
The heat in the room was terrific
but the firemen held the blaze to the
central portion and played several
lines of water on the flames for two
and half hours before it was en-
tirely extinguished.
The lower part OF the building was
filled with automobiles when the
fire broke out, but they were quickly
run from the building and were not
damaged. While the loss was heavy

The fire drew a large crowd to the
scene, and for time the, walk was
entirely blocked, the fireman having
to fight their way with ladders to the
building. but Chief Reeves and two
other officers arrived quickly, drove
the crowd back. Charles Flood OF

hose and will be given hearing in

San Diego, CAL, Dec. 24.-By pre-

intends to render a great public SER

try by stimulating and directing the

now cryingout for increased population
These include Idaho, Washington, Ore
gon, California, New Mexico, Montana,
Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, and several
others. These states contain i'm.
mense areas now unpopulated, and ca
pable of becoming the homes of mill
lions of persons, and as yet awaiting
the coming of man to make them
productive
To meet this purpose the San Diego
Exposition is to be one showing how
man is doing things now rather than
what man has done in the past, which
has been and is the fundamental prin.
ciple actuating every other great ex-
position ever planned Every oppor-
tunity is given to these western staes
at the San Diego Exposition to pre-.

Idaho has entered into the spirit Of
the San Diego Exposition, and that
state will be prominent among the
exhibitors. The census of 1910 places
