FOR NEW HOMES
Total Loss to the City is
Heavy, One Structure Be-
ing Worth $4,000.

Last evening the l'oSston school
buildings We're RACED to the ground
by a fire Of unknown origin. The fire
began in the high school building. q
brick structure thought to be almost
fire proof. When the fire was discov-
cred the building was so far gone that
the efforts of the fire department were
futile. Attempts were made to save
the common school building, a very
infiammable wooden building. but as
the " buildings were only about tif-
teen feet apart nothing could be done.
!, The high school building was a new
building erected in 1904. at a cost Of
over $4,000. The wooden building
was about twenty years old but in x
employ a corps of fifteen teachers.
The total attendance numbered almost
300.
Preparations will hc made at once
for rebuilding. No plans have been
made as yet. Makeshift arrangements
probably will he made to continue
classes in buildings up town. The
teachers an have their contracts so
their salaries will go right on. There
Will be some delay until the necessary
books and apparatus can be sent for.
The cause of the fire is uncertain
but Superintendent Hoover believes It
to have sprung from faulty electric
wiring or a short circuit. Both build
ings are steam heated SO 1t must
either be the electric wiring or in
cendiarism. No one was in or near
the buildings and the fire had gained
such Roadway when the alarm was
sent In that the fire department was
helpless.
Despite the insurance the loss will
be considerable.

After h fish had been taken home
they were soaked and boiled and pre-.
pared for the table. But in cleanins
them Mrs. Anderson overlooked the

was this tag that. a few minutes later.
brought back memories of IA little

MI. Anderson came in and sat down
a, the table. just as he wa about

read the inscription. to find that it

were plainly written on it. The tag
brought back a number of incidents

less to say. he has kept the tag as a
