SPECTACULAR FIRE
IN RUTLAND BLOCK
Loss Last Night Was $4,000, and Fire
men Had Difficult Work Saving the
Opera House Building.

Rutland, Jan. ia $4,000 fire il
the Dunn block on Merchants Row last
night, the largest in Rutland in recent
years, broke out at shortly after six
o'clock and kept both fire companies
with all the resources at their command
at work until ten o'clock. At one time
it looked as if not only the Dunn build
ing, but the opera house block on the
south were doomed, and the fire was at
times within few feet of the door con-
Meeting the two blocks.
The origin of the fire is not known,
and half a dozen places are pointed out
as possible starting places, but the the
DRY is that the blaze in some manner
started on the second floor, in the walls
OF the stockroom of the Dunn store, not
far from the door on the first landing
leading into the opera house.
The fire was one of smoke, so far as
spectators were concerned, for it was
confined mostly to partitions. The most
damage was done on the fourth floor, but
the third also suffered severely. The
damage on the first floor was all done
by smoke and water TO stock in the
stores of Dunn Bros, and the Grand
Union Tea company.
The building was Quilted, and the roof
almost entirely burned away. The goods
of the two stores on the first floor and
in the basement, at least such as were
damagable by water, were entirely de-
stroyed.
Besides all the regular and call fire.
men, volunteer fire fighters were very

lack OF help. Several regular and call
firemen We're overcome by smoke at diff
ferent stages of the fight, among them
Capt. John p. Reedy of company No. 2,
Call Fireman William Blanchard, and
Charles Smith OF Baxter street, an EN-
ploye of the Dunn company Captain
Reedy and Fireman Blanchard were re-
moved from the fourth floor, as they
were about TO break into a room.
Besides the two hose teams, the en-
CINE was brought out and water pumped
from the department park cistern. There
were five streams on the blaze nearly all
the time. The big ladder truck was also
pressed into service, and the ladder was
run to the roof, where some of the most
effective work was done.
Company number one received tele-
phone call, and as soon as the men ar
rived and saw the seriousness of the un-
dertaking an alarm was sent in, the
second company making a quick run.
The second and third floors, particularly
in the rear, were alight, but the blaze
was mostly confined TO the partitions,
and was exceedingly hard to fight. An
effort to fight from the inside up was at
first made, the smoke driving the men
back more than once. Going up an air
shaft and through the partitions. the
blaze quickly gained the roof and burst
through.
The building was seriously damaged,
and Fire Chief j. c, Dunn, who is
member of the Dunn firm, said he had
made no plans as TO what he should do.
The losses are as follows; Loss to block
and stock of Dunn Bros, $4,000; Grand
Union Tea company, 5000; City Judge
f. s. Swinnerton, $780, Attorney B. II.
Stickney, 500; Farrell g. company, $500.
All were insured.

Brattleboro's and Rutland's coinciden-
tai contributions to Nermont's 1914 fire
record were so serious as to cause quite
sag. And not only did the fires break
out at practically the same time, but
they seem to have followed very similar
courses and they had very similar results
in the amount OF damage done. How
ever, each community was fortunate in
combining the fire to the building in which
it started, due to the efficient work put
in by the fire departments. There is sat
sfaction in the knowledge that the fire
was kept down to comparatively small
proportions.

Somehow many Americans feel bit
better to learn that, in 1913, about $4,000
settlers in the Canadian Northwest and
other parts of the Dominion, who had
gone there from the United States, re-
turned TO Goods country" abandoning
entirely their Canadian handspring

Yes, there is bit of satisfaction mot
in the failure of the Americans to gain a
foothold in the newer section but in the
fact that home ties were too strong to
be resisted. Vermont would like to re-
claim the thousands who left to populate
other states of the Union, notably in the
western section; and some of them, it
may be added, are coming back to the old
state.

business has come to be not only
the greatest game that Is being played
In the world, but one In which men of
intelligence successfully play against
the worlds competition. Education is
the great path that leads TO business
leadership.
1t is not necessary, however, that a
man in business have a college educa.
ton, but he must know something
about the fundamental principles on
which business activity is based, such
as trade and commerce, money and
banking, business economics, business
law, organization and management, ad-
vertising and salesmanship, and aim
liar topics.
For the young man who is properly
prepared In the field, business offers
wonderful opportunities. He can get
this preparation by directed reading
and study.
Business offers larger salaries than
