FIRE HITS
DWELLING
WALTER DAVIDSON HOME AND
CONTENTS BADLY DAMAGED.
Blaze of Unknown Origin Breaks Out
in House When Occupants Are Alb
sent and Gains Great Headway.

Fire of uncertain origin, which was
first discovered about 8 O'Clock on
Saturday night, practically destroyed
the dwelling house owned and occu-
pied by Walter Davidson and family,
113 Main street, together with its con-
tents. No one was at home when the
fire was discovered and, as the entire
interior of the house was blazing be-
fore it was noticed, it was found i'm
possible to save any of its contents.
The origin of the fire is not definite
ly known although it is surmised mat
that it caught from an Over-heated
stove, or from a defective flue, as the
main portion of the blaze was con-
fined to the room in which the stove
was located and to the roof near the
chimney. The fire alarm was sounded
by the whistle at the plant of the Or
egon Power company, although the
city's fire bell snuglv hanging in its
nice, new metal tower, never twar ged
a single twang. The fire department
responded promptly and in very few
minutes the blaze was extinguished.
1t is understood that there was
5000 insurance on the dwelling house
and contents.

MODERN DEPOT FOR
GUTHRIE
FEDERAL TRUST COMPANY TO
ERECT BUILDING.
Office and Station Structure to Use
Bungalow Style and Be Fitted
With Up to Date Conveniences.

Erection of modern and attract
i've station and office building on their
new townsite of Guthrie southwest OF
the city, is the announced plan OF the
Federal Trust company, OF Portland,
which recently purchased the Guth-
rie Donation Land claim and divided
into small tracts. p. A. Taylor, To-
cal representative, announces that
the company will build a handsome
bungalow station building which will
also contain office rooms for the land
company. The building will be
equipped with a fireplace and made
neat and attractive both inside and
out. There will be a wide porch and
the grounds will be graded up and
made inviting.
REQUESTS Are Many.
Members of the company were IN
Dallas the first of the week and ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the outlook. Already numerous
requests have been received by the
company regarding information OF
Guthrie Acres. and several sales are
now under way. The offer of the
company to give a large lot in the
townwsite of Guthrie free with every
tract purchased in the acreage has
stimulated inquiries to a considerable
degree and il seems probable that the
town of Guthrie will soon assume the
proportions of a bona fde town.
