fire, which crept down the light shaft.
The State Bank and Trust Co., which
occupies the lower floor, has lease
on the entire building, and 1t is the
principal loser; its loss being about
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
The next heaviest loser is the Roth
company, which will lose about $500,
which is also fully covered by insur-
ance. The next heaviest loser is Dr.
B. L. Sleeves, who loses about $500
or $4,000. Drs. Morse and Robertson
lose about $1,000, and DR.. Lane about
$500. The different lodges are also
losers in small amounts, especially
the auxiliary lodges, which hold ses-
sions in the small lodge room at the
west side of the building, where the
fire was the most severe.
The work done by the fire depart
ment was certainly good, as the blaze
was under good headway before being
discovered. On account of the loca-
ton of the fire It was hard one to
fight, and the general verdict is they
done well. The fire escape on the
building was of great service in fight
in the flames.

ARRANGING
TO DEPORT
CRIMINALS

The state board some time ago
started campaign to clean the state
institutions of an undesirable class
of foreign inmates-that is those with
criminal instincts, and of unsound
mind before landing in this country.
The board now has the cooperation
of Mr.. Henry Weiss, United States i'm
migrant inspector and interpreter,
who is connected with the department
of commerce and labor.
Mr.. Weiss has spent week at the
several institutions, and has been in
consultation with the several super
intendents and the members of the
state board. AS q result Of his inves-
tigation it is likely that at least a
carload Of these people will be deport-
ed-and at the governments expense.
So far Mr. Weiss has Investigated
the state prison and the main build
ing at the insane asylum, finding
about 10 to be deported from each Of
these institutions. Further investi-
cation at these and other institutions
will likely double this number.

WOULD STOP
DRINKING
ON TRAINS
THINKS THE WELL
DRESSED SPORT SHOULD HAVE
NO MORE PRIVILEGES IN THIS
WAY THAN ANY OTHER PERSON

Declaring that "well-dressed
sport" has no more privileges under
the law passed by the last legisla-
ture prihibiting drinking on trains,
save in buffet, private and dining
cars than "well-soused laboring
man" Governor West today issued
communication to the railroad COM
mission requesting that 1t enforce the
law alike on the rich and the poor.
The governors letter is as fol-
lows:
"The last legislature, with a view
of putting stop to the annoyance
caused the travelling public through
drinking on trains, passed a law
prohibiting the use of liquor on
trains except in the dining, buffet and
private cars.
81 find in my travels that this law,
in my opinion, is being violated and
liquors are being served in cars
which are neither dining, buffet nor
private cars. AS you are no doubt
aware, liquors are being served in
chair cars on number of the rail-
roads. 1t will no doubt be contend
ed that these are buffet cars. un-
derstand a buffet car not to be sim
ply chair car where passengers
looking for a little more comfort are
pleased to pay an extra fare and
ride, but one where light lunches are
served.
"If drinking is to be permitted in
chair cars, then the law of 1911 de-
velopes into class legislation for the
reason that you have no right to de-
prive a half-soused laboring man on
his way from the logging camp, or
the construction camp Of the pleas
ure of putting his white feet on the
cushions of the day coach, taking a
drink from his long black bottle and
annoying his fellow passengers, if
you allow bunch of well-dressed
sports to make a bar-room out of
any part of the chair car, which
must at times be occupied by those
who have paid fares for seats there
in and who perhaps do not care to
be thrown with their wives and child
rem in company with those who have
the never-ending thirst. "
Being Of the opinion that the pres
ent practice is in violation of the
law of 1911, would ask that you
kindly look into the matter and, if
you are of the same opinion, take
steps to see that the practice ceases.
If, however, you do not find that 1t is
in violation of the law of 1911, l would
recommend that the matter be taken
up on your own motion and such an
order made as the findings will war
rant, with a view of having the prac-
tice discontinued in the future.
