 EMPLOYEE NOW
 A LIEUTENANT

DOUGLAS, Oct. 22.-Letters re- ceived here by mail Saturday night from somewhere in France" bring news of the appointment of Perry A. Delo, former mill foreman at Thane, to lieutenancy in the Amer, ican army.
 MT. Delo forwarded his application for enlistment the day after war was declared last spring and left here about the 10th of May, follow ing his application to California
 where he was accepted and where tenancy. While he was accepted in the army the roll of officers of the rank he sought was full at that time and he was made a sergeant. Later he was sent to American Lake near Tacoma where he remained until early in August when his con ginent left for France. Just after he left American Lake notice of his appointment to the rank of lieu tenant and his commission reached
 there by mail from Washington The documents were forwarded to him in France, arriving sometime in September. The result was that DelO had been a lieutenant fully a month before he was aware of it Although yet a young man. Lieu tenant Delo is an old-timer in the
 North. having engaged in the min ing game both on the lower Yukon ! and at Atlin, B. C., before coming to this vicinity four years ago since which time and until going south in May he was employed around
 here. Besides being good me chanic, he is also a surveyor
 Lieutenant Delo was an active
 member of the Thane Athletic Club He had record as an amateur
 wrestler and was a member of the | Thane basket ball team last winter He was well known and very popu | lar on Gastineau Channel and his
 many friends will rejoice that his
 ability has been so Substantially | recognized.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE WRECKS

story structure, stood within less than ten feet of it.
 For four and a half hours the firemen worked like trojans and t was not until after 6 o'clock this morning that the water was turned off by which time the roof and sec. ond floor of the building had caveG in, leaving only the charred walls and few of the partitions on the first floor standing.
 Postmaster Jack Henson and his assistant, Miss Nora Museth, were soon on the scene of the fire, the former dashing in and out of the dark and smokefilled office until he had saved everything. not even a piece of mail being lost, except about 50,000 stamped envelopes which were in a cabinet at the rear of the postoffice room, which cabinet was reached by flames bursting in through door. The postoffice equip ment was all moved across the street and the office is being tenn Poi aA Ay lOoPClCu III lIlC building in the room lately vacated by $. A. Murray's store. The fix lures of the office were not dam aged to any extent.
 The Sans Souci building was the most commodious structure in Doug las. It was owned by Gus Roene and was built by him about the year 1905. It was divided into apartments upstairs, the postoffict and one large unoccupied business apartment with a few rooms in the rear being all there was on the firs floor For some time past none o the upstairs apartments had beer occupied, except one in which the Roenes' themselves lived. Mrs. Roent went to Seattle a few days ago and though MT. Roene still occupied the apartment, he did no cookinf there and, as far as known, there had been no fire in any part O. the building yesterday. There wa, a fire in the basement furnace Sat urday but the fire did not star there or in that part of the building
 MT. ROene was not at home las night, having gone to Juneau il the late afternoon when he tolt someone he had been invited tt dinner by some friends at the Sal mon Creek power house. He hat not returned to Douglas up to Il o'clock this forenoon and.so far as known, was not aware of the fire The destroyed building is said tt have been insured for $7,5OO, hui as none of the local insurance az ents issued the policy. it is not known that the report is correct
 Everybody agrees that it was g mysterious fire, the general belief being that it was of incendiary or igin.
 Postmaster Henson dispatched the mail as usual at g o'clock this morn ing but the postoffice will be some what disorganized for a day or two the fixtures, boxes. etc. belong to Roene and until some arrangements can be made, there will be no boxes for the mail. The postmaster ca bled Washington. D. c. for instruc tions.

ly from the pure bred sire thar
from the general run of grade
cows. Nothing is more GER
tain than this. But all that is
here urged for the great value
of proper breeding is no ex-
cuse for poor or weak animal,
simply because he is pure bred.
No pure bred bull is fit to head
a dairy herd unless he is also
1 a thoroughly good and strong
individual, exhibiting in him
self the typical characteristics
and high qualities of the breed.
Amy man who has had any
extended experience or obser-
walton in the use of a pure-b bred
sire from high producing dams
at the head of a dairy herd will
agree that this sire was of pc
culiar value and great econo-
my in building up the herd.
The records of dairy breeding
have proven it conclusively a
thousand times over. No man.
who ever studies the facts can.
doubt it; the evidence is to-
be seen in the heifers of every
such sire and in their contrast
with heifers lacking such par
entage.
a few poor cows may do lit
tie permanent harm to the
dairy herd, but a poor sire will
do untold damage. Frequent
" dairymen hold the penny so
close to the eye it is impossible
to see the dollar a little far
Their off, and this is just what a
man is doing who has a good
dairy herd of grade COWS and
thinks he is economizing by
buying a poor or even a com
mon sire.
By all means get a good
dairy sire if you have to sell
two or three cows to do it. The
improved sire is without ques-
ton the most economical in
restment in any dairy herd
