Hotel
AT HAWLEY
BURNED TODAY

The City Hotel at Hawley was to-
tally destroyed by fire early this
morning and the loss, including con-
tents. is about $4,000. Many of the
guests of the hotel lost their clothing
and other personal effects, and but
little of the furniture was saved.
The fire was discovered about $50
this morning and in a few minutes the
entire building was in flames. 1t is
thought the origin was a defective flue
as there had been some trouble of this
nature during the past few days.
George A. Mcdonald, Jr., was pro-
prietor Of the hotel and his loss is
about $S,000-with $500 insurance
$4,000 on the building and $500 on the
contents.
Another loser who had no insurance
is Earl Morton who had his furniture
stored in the sample room of the hotel
His loss is estimated at $500.
The hotel was built about 40 years
ago by Lee Nichols, at that time agent
at Hawley, for the Northern Pacific.
Later an addition was built and other
improvements were made. 1t was a
frame structure and was one of the
landmarks Of eastern Clay county.

HOUSE
ADDITION

Plans for the proposed addition to
the Clay county courthouse are being
prepared by A. J. Fridlund. They are
for two stories and basement, sixteen
feet wide, and extending the full
length of the courthouse on the north
side.
Additional office and vault room will
be provided on the first floor for the
treasurer, auditor and register of deeds,
and the commissioners room will be
made about double its present size.
On the second floor. two new jury
rooms will be added; also a new room
north of the present grand juryroom,
a part of which will be cut off to pro-
vide a hallway leading to the new
room. Each of the new juryrooms will
have a separate lavatory and toilet, so
it will not be necessary for juror to
leave the room after the jury has re-
tired to deliberate. Another room will
also be added north of the present
judges chambers.
AS the light on the north side of the
courtroom will be cut off, it will be
necessary to place a larger skylight in
the roof. All of the basement vaults
will be extended the full width of the
addition except the one under the audi
tors Office, as this space will be requir-
ed for a fuelroom.
Architect Fridlund's estimate of the
total cost of the proposed improve
ment is $4,000.

going to either the Agassiz or Horace
Mann buildings, have elected to at

report to the Horace Mann school
/ Superintendent Deamer stated that
the night school was working under
the regular schedule without any loss
of enthusiasm and missing only one
meeting night as the result of the fire.
The only way where the night school
has been affected Is that the cooking

the destruction of the equipment in
the high school fire. Sewing work is
being prosecuted as formerly and all
other classes are working with excel
lent attendance.
Two new teachers started to work
