EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
Fred Dubey's House, Royal Park,
Badly Gutted-PartiaI Insurance.

The Augusta fire department was
out, at 1.20 Sunday morning, by an
alarm sent in from Box 80, on Water
street, near the factory boarding
house. to fight fire which was of a
stubborn nature that required the un-
divided attention of the boys for
about two hours. The fire was in
the two-story tenement house on
Royal Park owned by Fred Dudley of
Suncook Lake, the lower tenement be-
ing occupied by Jules Roy, while a
family named Lajoie lived upstairs,
and was well underway when the de-
partment arrived.
Coming at that hour in the morning.
the cause of the fire is unknown, and
had got such a start when discovered
that some of the members of the
household had barely time to escape
in hheir night clothes. At the time
of the arrival of the firemen. some
few minutes having been lost by their
going to Water street in response to
the alarm, when the fire was in an
other direction, the blaze seemed to
be mostly on the second floor of the
house. Flames were breaking on the
south and east windows on that floor,
and also from the roof. The fire
proved hard one to stop. and the
house was badly Quilted and the roof
partly destroyed before the blaze was
finally conquered. The about was
sounded, at about 2.55.
The estimated loss on account of the
fire is about $500. There is an insur-
anee of $4,000 on the building, in the
C. E. Downing agency and Mr.. Roy
had an insurance of $500 on his house
hold goods, III the same agency. IT
is not understood that there was any
insurance on the Lajoie property.

THINKS SEED AND
BOOKS OVERLOOKED
Phoenix Postmaster says Parcels Post
List Should Include Articles Now
in Third Class.

Phoenix. Ariz-, Feb. flames H Nc
Cfintock. postmaster of Phoenix, does
not think that the parcel post will be
OF the greatest possible service to the
people of this country till books and
seeds, now included in the third class,
are made mailable at parcel rates
~One thing that congress forgot when
the law was being drawn was to trans
fer books and seeds from the third
class, making it possible to send them
by parcel post" said postmaster Nc
ClintOck. Years ago congress, in order
to encourage literature and agriculture,
made a rate for books and seeds just
half the fourth class rate But the
largest package that could be mailed
was four pounds.
Books and seeds might just as well
have been included among the articles
that can be sent by parcel post I look
for a, change in the law soon.
But at present it costs % cents to
send four pounds Of seeds or a four
pound book from Phoenix to Prescott
in this zone. Were it possible to send
them by parcel post the rate on a pack
age Of that weight would be IS cents
This is manifestly unfair and works a
hardship on Phoenix seed merchants"
According to figures compiled by
postmaster McClintOck, the income Of
the Phoenix pOstOffice for the first 10
days Of January, 1913, was S5343-56- For
the same pediod last year it was
$4O55.10. The net gain was 1888. 4S.
Five hundred dollars worth of parcel
stamps were sold, but only $500 worth
