BLAIR is NEW PHYSICAL
DIRECTOR AT SCHOOLS

Prof. Coy S. Blair, is the acting
physical director at the Virginia
schools, and will probably fill that
position for the rest of the school
year. MIR. Blair still teaches one
subject in the high school, but his
work is so arranged that he now
gives practically all of his time to
the athletics and the gymnasium
work. Former Physical Director
Soutar left the latter part of last
week for his old home in Wisconsin.
A report that he goes to the Salem,
Oregon schools as physical director
in short time, could not be confirm
ed. Mr.. Soutar had many friends in
the city and their best wishes for
success 60 with him wherever he may
decide to locate.

No stripping will be done at the

The Great Northern cut off the cal

RETURNS FROM FUNERAL
OF RELATIVE AT WINNIPEG

Alderman R. J. McGhee returned
Monday from Winnipeg, where he was
called the first Of last week by the
serious illness of his brother-in-law,
C. M. Irwin, who died last Thursday,
funeral services being conducted Sat-
urday. Mr.. Irwin was 40 years old
and death was due to an attack of
lagrippe with complications. He was

death, however, he had made his
home at Winnipeg.

by Emergency Apparatus at Hand When Discovered

that power was not available to move
the other cars, rendered its fire-proof
construction of little consequence.
The city fire department was able
to do little to save the structure att
err its arrival, owing to the long dis
lance to the nearest hydrant and
the fact that it was necessary to lay
about 5000 feet of hose to get water
on the blaze.
The insurance on the building and
equipment was held by companies
represented by the Characterization
aid and NOLAN & johnson agen-
cies. The Springfield Fire Insurance
company will be the heaviest loser,
having about $4,000.
The building was new, having been
completed and put in service less
than a year ago. The cars Destroy
ed were also all new. The passen-
ger coaches were valued at about
S., 900 each. They were of steel and
wood construction, handsomely fur
nished and the last word in modern
electric railway equipment.
Manager Newton and the office
force are temporarily CHARTERED in a
small building formerly used as a
material supply house near the right
of-way, but will be compelled in all
probability to find Office, quarters
up town until the new building is
completed. Practically all of the
records at the Office were destroyed
and before the operating force there
is big problem in getting the bust
ness reorganized.
The loss entailed is the heaviest in
Virginia in more than ten years..
Manager Newton and his entire Or
ganization are working night and day
to bring order out of the chaos in
which the fire resulted. Their ef-
ficiency is demonstrated in the fact
that not single trip was missed by
the cars and the service is up to the
usual excellent standard.

Fire, believed to have started
from heater in one Of the passen-
ger coaches Wednesday morning,
shortly after 3 o'clock, completely
destroyed the car barns and office
building of the Mesaba Railway COM
pany near Olcott park, together
with five passenger coaches, a bag
gage and express car and wooden
trailer, entailing a loss estimated at
$4,000, we'll covered by insurance.
The service of the electric rail-
way was not interrupted. The regu-
lar schedule was resumed at the
usual hour Wednesday morning.
The destruction Of the rolling stock
handicaps the line from the stand
point Of equipment temporarily, but
the burned building will be recon-
structed as soon as possible. Work
will begin as soon as the ground can
be cleared of debris.
But three employees Of the CON-
pany were at the car barns when the
fire broke out. One Of the men was
asleep in the Office while two more
were working about cars in the barns.
When discovered the blaze had burst
through the windows of the coach
where it started, and rapidly CON-
municated to the other cars in the
building. The power was off for the
night and the men could not move
the cars in the barn at the time.
With the emergency apparatus avail
able they made the best fight pos
sible, turning in an alarm which
brought the city department to o.
colt park. The firemen were CON-
PEELED to return to the city for extra
hose before water could be utilized
from the city mains, the nearest
hydrant being over 5000 feet dis
tant.
The building was supposed to be
fireproof and was of brick and steel
construction, but the fact that the
fire started in one of the coaches on
the inside, which burned rapidly, and

It is the mission of the farmer to feed the world on the things they want to eat. The mears of communication between the producer and consumer are mad quate. The voice of the consumer is hardly audible beyond the city limits, and there are no authoritative high ways of intelligence between the seller and the buyer over which information can safely travel.
