Still 17s Glass 1 Men.

Although the Class 1 men for the national army in many cities have been exhausted, there are still 178 men in that class at the local exemption board, with A additional men in Glass 1-B, having slight remedial defects, and 45 in the limited service class
 At the local board headquarters which is district No. 17, 2,33S men reg istered and of this number 500 have been placed in Class l. Two hundred and twenty of these men were inducted into the service and about one hundred enlisted in different branches with cer- tificates6 from the local board. The
 board consists of B. w. Danielson, chairman, Frank P. Fenton, clerk, and Dr. Clarence E.. Simonds, medical
 member. Eugene Randall has been
 employed to assist in the large amount of clerical work. State draft officials have visited the local board a few times and are pleased with the way in i which the work has been carried out, mplimenting the officials.
 No notice of the number of men who are to leave in the next call has been l officially received at the board, al- I though reports have it at 20. Clerk Fenton said Friday that the number | will probably be larger, as several of the boards in the state have run out of Class 1 men. It is probable that all future calls will be based or the number of Class IA men, a prop osition which was advocated only g i short while ago.

Features of Thuradax,s Fire.

The fire of Thursday afternoon prob- ably started in small barn and store room owned by Mrs Catherine IF. Shea, as rubbish had been burned be- tween this barn and another larger building. The fire quickly spread to the larger barn owned by Charles Mulligan and which was sublet to s. Porcaro. This building was used part ly as barn and there was a place to keep an automobile. A house connect ed with the barn was badly gutted by the fire and sustained heavy water damage.
 In the loft of the larger barn was a small quantity of hay which quickly caught fire. At the time that the fire trucks were started for the fire great clouds of black smoke were ascending from this building. The intense heat set the end of a house only a short distance away on fire. This house was | owned by Samuel Bacon and. the two tenements were burned considerably All of the buildings were old ones The Shea property was damaged about $500 worth; on this no insurance was carried. Abe Silverstein hired the building, using it for a barn and store house, and a large stock of canned 1 goods, wash powders and turnips was destroyed. The horse and wagon were out of the barn, but considerable 1nar. 1 ness was destroyed
 The Bacon property was damaged l to the extent of $500, covered by in- l surance, while damage to the Mulli- l gan property is estimated at ovel 1 $1000; insured.
 I Only children were present when tho 1 fire started and the cause is not
 known, although it probably caugh
 from the rubbish fire. Two smal children said that they heard that some l boys threw box of matches in tht barn. The alarm was rung in iron
 box 54 by Edward Lyman.
 | While the firemen were fighting thu fire an Italian woman who hired
 tenement in the building became ex | cited and it sounded as if she sait that there was a baby in the house Several f1remen donned gas masks ant | searched the rooms for a child, bu l that the woman had about $500 in tn | room, and a small boy took the none, out of the house before the fire hat
 gained much headway.
 The Engine company received a sti]
 alarm at 7.30 for the ruins, where tn blaze had broken out again. Fire ex tinguishers and pails of water Wer used to put out the flames.
 Western Union telegraph wires wer
 strung within a few feet of the fir and the poles were charred consider
 ably, with one wire broken. The com
 pany had just finished some repair
 on that division. A Western Unio
 man climbed the pole with a fire ex
 tlnguisher and put out the fire on tn

NOTICE

Commencing June 1, 1913, the price of gas furnished by this department will be as follows:
 Up to 3O,ooo GU. it. per month $1.5o per 1000 GU. it.
 SOOoO to 10000 GU. it. per month s1.SO per 1000 GU. it. for entiAe amount used.
 All over 15o,oOo GU. 1t. per month $1.15 per 1000 GU. 1t. for entire amount used.
 No bills will be rendered, however, at less amount than that which is calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block.
 In making this increase, your Com missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufacturing of gas, it is impossible to sell the prod uct at the present price. It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant, the price will be reduced.

He would have surely suc- ceeded in the daring feat had not the strength of his arms left him when he was about half way across, directly over the channel One of his compah- ions tried to give assistance but there was only one course open-a cold plunge into the water. The droo is about fifteen feet, the water being deep enough to save him from a shak- ing up. He could swim enough to get to shallow water and to walk to the bank and safety.
