Store BURNS
AT ISLAND STATION
Loss About Ten Thousand Dollars
Origin Of Fire
Unknown.

The general merchandise store ol
George w. and Louis A. Birk at Is-
land, was totally destroyed by fire
shortly after eight o'clock Saturday
morning, entailing a loss of approxi-
mately $4,000. The fire was the
most destructive that has ever visit
ed Island. The entire business
block, on which the store was To-
Gated was threatened for a short
time, but the valient efforts of a
bucket brigade. composed of men,
women and children, prevented the
flames from spreading to adjoining
buildings.
Smoke issuing from under the
door leading into the furniture de-
partmenf attracted the attention OF
G. w. Birk and other people who
were in the store making purchases,
and when the door was thrown
open, it was Immediately seen that
the building was doomed. The en-
tire furniture department was a
mass OF roaring flames.
Before 1t was possible to save any
articles of value in the store, the
flames spread to the adjoining
rooms, devouring the contents Of
the store. In an increditably short
time the entire building and its
contents was reduced to a mass OF
smOldering debris. The building
was a one story frame structure,
covered with metal roof. which
caused the flames to be confined.
and naturally the spread OF the fire
was materially quickened.
Practically every able bodied man
in Island responded to the general
alarm which was sounded. Women
and children lent their assistance,
and the fight to save the block from
burning was begun when it was seen
that itw as impossible to save the
building. G. w. Birk's residence,
which adjoins the store, caught fire
several times, but the bucket brig
ade successfully kept the flames
from spreading. The roof OF Mr..
Birk's home was practically de-
stroyed, and another building on the
right side of the store was saved by
the efforts of the bucket brisade.
Mr.. Birk stated that his loss would
amount to $4,000 of which $1,000
was covered with insurance. Only re-
Gently he had purchased the new
store. He said that the origin of the
fire was unknown. Mr.. Birk stated
that the work OF rebuilding the store
would be started as soon as the in
surance agents had made their ad-
jusstments. The building was worth
$1,000. and the value of the stock was
placed at $4,000 by Mr.. Birk.

stringent LAWS
TO PROTECT GAME
Fur-B Bearing Animals Also Will
Receive Attention In New
Legislature.

furbearing animals will be proposed
to the General Assembly by the
State Game and Fish Commission
and drafts of the measures already
are prepared. Trappers and fur deal
ers are desirous that the killing oi
fur-bearins animals, excepting where
they are causing damage to property,
be limited to the winter months
when the furs are heaviest and most
valuable. The proposed law will
limit the open season for beaver,
mink, raccOon, otter, opossum, skunk
and musk rat to the months between
November / and April 1.
Fur dealers informed Executive
Agent J.. Q. Ward, OF the Game and
Fish Commission, that the fur OF
many Of these animals is worth
four times as much if secured in No
vember as in September.
Fifteen game birds as the mini
mum bag" for a days hunting is
desisned to restrain the ardor of the
game hog" and pot hunter. This
would apply to doves as we'll as
other birds, and 1T is proposed to
make the dove season open Septem-
Der | instead of August l. The law
will permit hunter to kill fifteen
birds a day and have in his posses
sion a number proportionate to the
number of days he has hunted. A
fine of $40 for every bird over the
maximum is to be the penalty.
ALI imported pheasants. Hungarian
partridges and prairie chickens are
to be protected by an indefinitely
closed season TO give them a chance
to propagate, thOush persons may be
licensed to have them in their pos
session for breeding purposes.
Big game, elk and deer are to be
protected also by q closed season
for several years until the State is
well stocked.
1t is proposed to require the keep
ing up of bird dogs in the nesting
season in the spring and to offer
a bounty for killing hawks.
A closed season on fishing between
April / and June l and the prohib-
ition of the use Of artificial bait dur
ing the spawning season are design
ed to give the fish chance to pro-
pagate. Shooting of fish with lead

hfbited, .nd no bass under eight
