Street Improved
In West End

The city council is doing
some fine work on the streets in
the west end. Main street has
been graded from Scott g. Hal
ley's corner out through the town
site to the corner south of Coun-
Gilman Biteman's residence.
Two bridges are also being
built on this street. The cor
duroy on Center street has been
covered from Coeur d'Alene ave-
nue. to the same street and this
street has also been graded be-
tween the two thus making two
good streets between the older
part of the city and The townsite.
Idaho avenue, leading from the
Townsite store will be fixed up
10 the city limits where it con-
meets with the county road known
as the ST. Manifestation roas.
This road is now completed
to Benwah and is said to be the
best mountain road in the coun-
ty. When that part Of the road
up Benwah creek is completed
ther will be a first class road all
the way from this city to Spo-
kane by way Of Tekoa.

putty Sheriff Sawyer killed the day

marks of Identification and moth

learnedas to his identity.

fuses to talk about The case but

porter Of this paper that he only
knew him by the name of Bob.

NOTES ON THE FIRE

Is not the new fire alarm
whistle a dandy? To would al
most wake the dead.
It was fortunate that there was
no wind.
The volunteer fire department
was given much praise for the
manner in which the fire was
landed.
A hook and ladder company
should be organized to operate
in conjunction with the two hose
companies.
None Of the teams put in an
appearance to try and earn that
$500 and the boys had to haul
the hose carts TO the fire them
selves. This was no small task
as it is up hill nearly all the way
The company should be sup
piled with rubber coats and he'll
NETS at once.
St. Maries is certainly fortun-
ate in the mater Of hnres. This
is only the second one in two
years.

Wallace Building
DeStrOyedBy Fire
BUILDING AND CONTENTS TOTAL LOS
Volunteers Praised for Good Work in Keeping
Fire From Spreading

night fire broke out in the Wal
lace building on the corner Of
Eighth street and Main avenue.
1t was first discovered by Mrs
Richison who lives on the rear
of the adjoining lot .and her a
larm quickly aroused the neigh
bOrs and soon the shriks of the
fire alarm whistle had aroused
the entire town.
A few of the fire boys had been
attending a meeting in Mayor
Mulcahy's Office and they soon
had one of the hose carte on the
ground. BY this time the other
members of the fire company
began to arrive and the hose was
quickly attached and a stream of
water thrown on the fire.
The building, however, was as
dry as tinder and the whole rear
end of il was a mass of flames
against which the water could
make no headway. Every one
thought that not only was the
building doomed but the adjoin-
ing ones as we'll.
Two more streams were soon
at work on it but it was difficult
H. reach the lre with the water.
'fhe building was packed with
~"cOId hand furniture making
It practically impossible for the
tremen to get inside to work di-
rectly on the fire and the best
they could do was TO keep the out
side of the building soaked and
to drench the fire wherever it
showed through.
The upper windows were COW
cred with screens which bafiled
the boys from reaching the flame
that way and it was some time
before a ladder was secured long
enough to reach the windows.
II did not take long after the
flames were reached to subdue
them and the fire was fnallyex-
tinguished without the adjoining
building being even scorched.
The building was owned by w.
II, Wallace, now of Spokane, who
have a lease on the lot, which
has about iS months to run. The
first floor was occupied by the
Washington Furniture Co. No 2
of Spokane, of which w. H. Saw
yer is the local manager, with a
stock of second hand goods.
The upper story has been used
as a rooming house but the last
parties moved out about three
days ago. The furniture is
owned by Mr.. Wallace.
Sargent Bros insurance agen-
ey carried forty three hundred
dollars insurance on the build
ing and contents, twenty three
hundred on the stock in the sec
ond hand store, two thousand on
the building and five hundred on
The furniture i'm the rooming
house. II is understood also
that the State Bank of Bovill l5
carryingNa policy on the building
but the amount is unknown.
The building was of wood, two
stories high and has been built
about three years and the gem
eral impression is that the insur-
ance will cover the loss.
Mr.. Sawyer places the loss of
the furniture company ON stock
at thirty three hundred dollars
With insurance at twenty three
hundred Nothing is known as

N[W HOTEL A REALITY

Word has been received here
during the past week, that suf-
fic cent money has been raised tC
construct the new hotel which
is planned for the tourist travel
at Adamana. 1t is understood
that the necessary capital is t
hand anl work will be started a.
bout the 1st Of September. The
new Hotel will have about thirty
guest rooms, a large dining hall
and all the latest modern con-
veniences which will enable it to
handle the large tourist travel
that is expected during the COM
ing 1915 fair. The approximate
cost of this new building, which
will be one of the finest of its
kind in Northern Arizona, is es-
timated at S25, 900, and it is un-
derstood that much of the mat
erial has already been ordered.
Manager Campbell has not been
here for some time so further
details are lacking. However, we
are assured that the hotel is to
be a reality. 1t is rumored that
automobile buss service will be
given from the hotel to the Pet
