A DISASTROUS FIRE.

Last Friday morning about nine
O'Clock the alarm went out over the
Valley that the Arcadia College was
in coEtiagratioa. Soon immense vol
Ut smoke, seen for miles in
every direction, confirmed the alarm,
and citizens from I%ronton, Pilot Knob,
Russellvilie and Arcadia FASTENED to
the sceGe. The old fOur-stOry brick
structure, i20x60 feet, erected in 1871,
was found 10 be in flames, SO far adj
vanced that no hope OF preserving it
could he entertained.
All present devoted themselves to
the work of moving the contents and
saving the adjoining buildings. Here
some heroic work was done, for not a
little danger in some instances at
tended. Those who are conversant
with fire fighting assert that better
results could not have been obtained
from trained firemen. Tho chapel
and the new addition To the college,
erected two or three years ago at a
total cost OF over 7 1000, we're saved,
as well "a, considerable of their con-
tents. OF course there was damage
to their Interior by water, etc, but no
lives were lost or personal injury sus-
tanned. This is indeed cause for con-
graduation.

The origin of the fire is unknown.
When first discovered it was located
in the northeast corne of the dorm

considerable Roadway that the fire ap-

The preservation of the chapel and
the new building were not assured
until the middle of the afternoon. A
careful watch was maintained over
the dying embers. Three cars Of coal
were stored in the basement, but the

KINDERGAR7ENS

II, as has been said, the finance

dergartens and which will require that
such aid come from the city and
county it seems probable that kinder.
gartens and Fairgrounds will not fare
SO well as had been hoped, for mem.
bers of the board of supervisors do not
see how that body can appropriate
more literally IN the future than it has
in the past.
Dan Logan is one of the board who
is outspoken in the passing of the
matter of aid to kindergartens over
to the city and county. 1T is one
thing for the legislature to say that
the aid should come from the city and
county and quite another matter for us
to give that aid" says Logan. I'VE
are already doing all We can afford
from the funds which we have on hand
and are able to secure If the legis-
lature will provide as with more funds
we shall be glad to, use them and to

give the kindergartens more aid. But
will the legislature provide us with
the additional funds that we require?
Will it render it possible for us to
secure the money: to give to that OBJ.
ject?sWe already need funds for many
things and have to do without them
Let the legislature give us sufficient
money to run city and county affairs
rather than tell US how to spend the
money which comes into our hands.
I am afraid that unless provision be
made so that we have additional funds
to. use for snch, purpose We shall
be able to do little or nothing more
than we are already doing, worthy as
may be the object"
Horner Has Similar Ideas
Supervisor Horner is also opposed
to the legislature giving the care of
the kindergartens to the county I'M
less sum adequate to carry on the
work accompanies the authority.
IT is all very well for the territory
to give the county additional depart
ments and we would be glad to &C
cept the responsibility but when there
is not enough money to run the gov
eminent now, what can the board do?"
Supervisor Larsen is Of the same
mind. The people howl about US
wasting the public money. Unless we
get more money soon We shall have
to spread 1t out so thin that 1t will
break through in even more places
than it does now"

CITY PLANNERS
SCORE BOARD

The action of the board OF super.
yisors in permitting firms to cart away
sand from Kapiolani Park and dump.
ing waste in its place came in for
severe criticism from the city planning
commission at its meeting this morn
ing. ssls.,
Waiter F. Dillingham; in particular
was against the practise, declaring
that the park is being ruined as a re-
suit. IF they really returned SOIL as
under the agreement, nobody would
object" he said, but when bricks,
stones and waste matter on which, alb
solutely nothing can grow is substi-
tuted it should be stopped"
The proposed bill giving the com
mission more power which is to be in
troduced into the legislature was dis
cussed It was pointed cut that the
commission can do nothing as it can
only suggest Improvements which to
date have never been followed.
The question of the ironwool trees
at Kapiolani Park also was touched
upon.
Dillingham; said the more he looked
into the matter the more he believed
the trees should come down although
before anything was done an expert
landscape artist should survey the
grounds in regard to a park entrance.
George Collins, city and county en-.
gineer, suggested that ivy be planted
on the retaining wall at the pail and
the commission voted to take the mat
ter up with the Outdoor Circle.
