BIG BLAZE AT
BROWNS VALLEY
Valley Hotel and Restaurant
Destroyed.

The Valley Hotel and Beebe
restaurant were both consumed by
fire, between three and four O'Clock
"Wednesday morning. The fire
originated in the hotel and as
there was nobody in the building
1T is not known what was the
cause but it was we'll underway
and the flames were through the
root before anyone discovered it
These two buildings were in the
midst of row of frame buildings,
and dispiie this fact and The furth
Ell fact that the fire had a good
start, the fire company succeeded
in conhning the fire to these two
buildings, showing that our sys-
tenn of fire protection is exception
ally good. The building of Theo.
Welsner, on the corner adjoining
the hotel, with only about two
feet between them, was saved due
to the fact that the wind was in a
westerly direction and the firemen
kept the Weisner building wet
down. There was only a small
space between the Beebe restaurant
and Wild's photograph gallery,
but the Beebe building was cover.

some OF his personal belongings
from the building, and said that he

Browns Valley Tribune
A large number of rural
school buildings will be erected
i'm Roberts county this summer,
and before the various school
boards conclude their plans, it
would be good idea for them
to examine into the merits of
the consolidated system which is
now being adopted most extern
sively i'm rural schools of the
central and eastern states.
There are dozens of rural
schools in this county that
should be consolidated i'm order
to give the children better fac
ilities and advantages, and in
many cases such consolidation
would not add materially to the
cost of maintainance. OF course
there are some districts where
consolidation is impracticable
under present conditions, but
in the majority of rural schools
it could and should be accom-
plished. The school boards in
those rural districts which are
contemplating building should
give this matter deep consider
alton before expendirg much of
the districts funds in the erec-
tion of small school buildings
which may be obsolete in a
few years. Consolidation will
come eventually, as it has come
in the eastern states, and it
would not be amiss for some of
our progressive school boards to
hurry it on its way.

Norbeck in Favor, Rural Credit,
Plan.

Peter Norheck, lieutenant gover-
nor of South Dakota and candidate
for the nomination OH the Repub-
lican ticket to the Office of govern
or at the primary election OIL NAV
%. takes cheerfel view of his
prospects. In an interview here he
said:
am firmly convinced that an
adequate rural credit system would
play an important part tx the de-
velopment of agriculture, the main
industry of this state. To get new
farmers is not the first need. To
make conditions more favorable for
those we already have is far more
speedily done when it is possible
tor them to get the money on long
time terms at low interest with
small annual payments ON the
paincipal."
Discussing state finances. Mr..
Norbeck said he felt that com
paratively new state such as South
Dakota demanded broad gagged
policy and businesslike admins
tration in every respect. The
legislature acted wisely he said, in
retrenching on expenses and cut
ting appropriations 100000.
