The speeding of automobiles and mo-

He will present to the congress a reso-

upon the government to force the con-
tractors who have delayed completing
the work on locks and 8 on the Tom

rush the work. But for the failure
of the contractors to complete these
locks on time, there would now be no

delay is costing the people of this dis
trict large sums of money.

Douglas Fire
 Anniversary Tomorrow

DOUGLAS, March S.-At p. m, March g, 1911, on cold and dreary day, occurred the biggest fire in the history of Douglas island. It swept a part of Front street, burning many business houses to the ground and costing the business men many thous- ands of dollars. AS the people were eating supper the fre.alarm suddenly changed its warning. The fire had started at a restaurant which stood where the Republic Bar now stands; the fire then spread to the Douglas hotel and swept the whole place on either side for some distance.
 The fire tested the mettle of Doug las business men, who have built up again and built much nicer places than those destroyed. It also exemplified the good of having bunch of fine femen such as Douglas possesses.
