DESIR0YJA TOWN
ST. ANTHONY, lDAy SUFFERS
DAMAGE TO THE AMOUNT
or s25o,ooO TODAY.

St. Anthony, Ida, Jan. %. A fire,
which started in the Ross-Iammer
block early today and spread to ad-
joining buildings. was under control
shortly after room. The fire for a
time threatened to destroy the town.
A gmall water supply, at first
avaiJable. soon failed on account of
frozen pipes. "A conservative estimate
Of the loss was said to be s25O,O0O.
Fire fighting equipment was rushed
here from nearby towns. but proved
of little use on account Of the water
shortage.
Several narrow escapes resulted
from the collapse of roofs End walls.
A high wind carried the flames to
adjacent buildings, while firemen and
citizens fought valiantly to prevent
structures across the street from De-
coming ignited. "A number of per
sons were overcome by the cold.
The origin Of the fire has not been
ascertained. st. Anthony is the Ere
mont county seat, the location of the
state industrial school and has pop
ulation of about 1000.
The Ross-Hammer block. largest
buiidiilg ii ST. Anthony. is on fire,
and, as frozen pipes have practically
cut off the water supply, the entire
town is threatened.
A desperate effort is being made
by firemen ana citizens to prevent
the flames spreading. The fire was
discovered at Z a. m. and an hour
later was making rapid headway. The
loss of this building alone would
amount to over $25O,OOO.
The building is occupied BY the
First National bank; the Consolidat-
ed Wagon and Machine company,
with stock Of 100000; Chase Furni-
ture company $4,000; Bell Tele-

The Colored School.

The patrons of the Lancaster Colored
Graded School are very much pleased
to note the marked progress of the
school under such ill-favored conditions.
Despite such conditions, nine pupils
out of twelve were successful in pass
ing the January examination for COM
mon school diplomas, this we think quite
commendable. The same number of
pupils passed last year, we avail our
selves of this occasion to appeal to the
patrons and friends of the school and
also to those of our white friends who
are imbued with the spirit of Christian
altruism, whom we believe ever ready
to respond to our Macedonian cry, Gf
we have first given clear evidence of
self help for aid and support in our eff
fort to improve the conditions of our
school and to make room for those pu-
pills who are entitled to free tuition in
the county high school.
The immediate needs of the school
should claim the serious consideration
and prompt action of every colored pa
iron who desires the advancement Of
his people.
The colored boys and girls who are
in school today are the material out of
which the future race structure indus
trial mental, normal and social, is to be
built of the three factors, heredity,
environment and will-power that enter
into the formation and development of
character, will-power is conceded to be
the most predominant. Yet environ
ment cannot be eliminated as neglig-
able quality from this triple of charac-
ter determining factors.
We therefore urge that every patron
of the school engage his best thoughts
and energies toward the realization of
better school, with environments, at
tractive and elevating.

Farmers Institute To Be Held In Lancaster
During Last Two Days Of Next
Week Should Draw Good
Attendance.

A week from today, next Friday and
Saturday, Feb. 2Sth and March LIST the
Annual Farmers Institute will be
conducted at the Court House in Lam
caster, and every farmer in the county
who is interested in modern methods of
farming should make it spe cial point
to attend both of the sessions. The
State Department of Agriculture will
furnish two lecturers on farm topics
one of whom will be Prof. Clayton, who
has been here before and who is a very
interesting talker. A lady lecturer
upon household affairs will also be
present and will have something of
interest to say to the ladies'. In addition
to these there will be lecturers in
attendance from the State Board of
Health and the Forestry and Good Roads
department. A splendid programme
has been arranged, every minute of
which will be of great interest. Every
phase of farm life will be discussed, and
many valuable hints as to practical farm
ing, the proper manner of rotating
crops. economy in farming and in fact
every thing that could possibly interest
the farmer and his family will be dis
cussed, and the time spent at these
meetings will prove of incalculable value
to you.
The meetings are to be held under
the direction of the, State Board of
Agriculture and the expense is borne BY
the state, and not one cent of expense
will devolve upon the farmer. It is
very seldom that the farmer is offered
something for nothing, but it is GER
taninly the case in this instance, and
there is certainly many good things in
store for those who attend these
meetings.
The rapid strides made in practical
farming in the last few years by Ken
lucky is mainly due to the efforts of the
State Board of Agriculture, and the
instructions and advice which they are
offering should not go unheeded.
Come in everybody, bring your wives
and daughters and neighbors, and
derive some of the splendid benefits to
be found by attending these meetings.

We Surely Miss The Water, Good Or Bad.

There has been many facetious
remarks made about our water supply.
in which the Record has taken some
part, and some people have been heard
to remark that we would be better off
without water plant. On last Thurs
day afternoon we were given an oppor-
tunity to see just how well we could get
along without water works; while
making the connection to the main for
the pipe leading to the standpipe It
became necessary to shut down the
plant, and from the ''holler" that went
up from every side, the indications are
that. good, bad or Indifferent, the
citizens of the community positively
could not do without the water supply.
