An inquest on the recent fire in the Louis
Goldberg clothing store on Phoenix Row was
held by the city government last Thursday
evening, and it was decided that the cause was
unknown. Mr.. Goldberg estimated the value
of his stock at $4,0 900 and was unable to esti-
mate the damage to it at that time. He
thought the damage to the building would be
around $3.50. He said he was fully covered by
insurance under the 80 per cent. clause.
The writer enjoyed ride last Tuesday
morning with Mr. J. F. Wilson and saw many
things of interest. including Mr. Wilson's gar
den at Little River, of which we are unable to
write in detail at this time. Mr.. Wilson has
about an acre under cultivation, including
strawberries and raspberries. His peas and
beets are up and cucumbers started in cold
frames, some of them with the glass removed
and exposed to the recent cold weather, are
doing finely and putting out their third leaves.
We shall have something further to say of
this garden and of Mr.. Wilson's methods next
week.
