GOLCONDA is SCENE
OF DISASTROUS BLAZE.

Golconda was visited by a costly
fire this week, started in the store
building formerly occupied by the
Golconda Mercantile company, and
this building and the big warehouse
next to it belonging to Taylor &
Sheehan we're totally destroyed.
The Goiconda Mercantile company
has $4,000 worth of mercandise
stored in the store building and this
was also a total loss. Besides the
warehouse Taylor & Sheehan lost l.
900 sacks of seed wheat, two tons of
alfalfa seed and a large quantity OF
sheep camp supplies. Taylor &
Sheehan's loss will approximate
about $4,000, with no insurance.
while the loss of the store building.
which was erected in 1897 and be-
longed to E. L. Dutertre, was about
$4,000. partly insured. The loss
sustained by the Golconda Mercan-
tile company was $4,000.
Mr.. Heller, a government repre-
sentative of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, who is In Golconda for the pur-
pose of securing antelope specimens.
was preparing to tan some OF the
hides in the unoccupied store build
ing. He had built a fire in the store
early In the evening and then left
, the building. It is thought there
must have been an explosion in the
stove caused by accumulated gas and
that the Goals were thrown out on the
floor, causing the fire which destroy
ed the building and the Taylor &
Sheehan warehouse adjoining 1t.
The fire was not discovered until
the flames we're shooting through the
the roof of the store building. There
we're no facilities at hand for fight
ing a fire of such magnitude and the
flames spread so rapidly that practi-
cally nothing could be saved from
either of the buildings.

BETTER HOUSES FOR
SECTION MEN.

For the greater comfort of its sec
ton men. the Southern Pacific will
establish at various points. where the
temperature is high or low. hollow
tiled section houses. These are
gradually being made the standard
for the desert country. where former
ly section headquarters were main
tanned either in adobe houses or in
houses made of reconstructed box
cars.
The hollow tile house is especially
adapted to hot weather, the thing
giving what amounts to a double
wall with hot and cold air chambers.
Cool In the daytime. the houses will
be warm and comfortable at night.
Hollow tile as a factor in construc-
ton promises to become an important
one, the double wall being considered
AS a good feature.

That the Southern Pacific is alert
TO the interests of the people of Elko
county Is evidenced through the fact
