FIRE DESTROYS
SAGINAW PROPERTY
FIVE LIVES LOST IN THE WRIGHT
HOTEL FIRE
Big Ford Sales Rooms and Service
Station Also Destroyed by
Flames

Last Saturday morning while one of
the worst blizzards ever known in
Michigan was raging, the Wright
hotel, one of the largest and best known
hostelries in Saginaw was totally de-
stroyed by fire. The hotel was dis
covered to be on fire at about three
O'Clock in the morning, but its origin is
unknown. 1t has been suggested that
the frequency of confagrations in Sag
inaw might be indicative of German
agents, but this is not substantiated
except in very indefinite way. The
hotel being old and considerable wood
having been employed in its construc-
tion. it burned with great rapidity and
the firemen we're necessarily ham,
pered in their work by the high wind
and severe cold which prevailed. Five
of the persons in the hotel at the time
of the fire lost their lives, their charred
and frozen bodies being recovered from
the ruins. The loss runs into the thou
sands of dollars, with a considerable
amount of insurance.
On Wednesday morning at an early
hour the big Hubbell Auto Sales Com
pany's salesroom and garage, just east
of the river was completely destroyed
by fire. The building was an old brick
structure but the money loss. stock in
cluded, runs into the thousands of
dollars. About three weeks ago the
big street car barns in Saginaw were
destroyed by fire. all of which lends
color to the belief that the fires may
have been of incendiary origin.

FUEL RESTRICTIONS
MADE STATE WIDE
BUSINESS PLACES LIMITED TO
NINE HOURS DAILY
State Fuel Administrator Prudden Issues
Orders and Promises Prosecution
for Offenders

A scarcity of fuel, thing scarcely
dreamed of decade ago, has over
taken the country. and giant factories
and some of the largest retail establish
ments in the country have been obliged
to close their doors because they can
not procure.the fuel necessary to enable
them to continue in operation and be-
cause of orders from the state fuel ad.
ministrator that only necessary
business be allowed fuel. In Flint the
result has been that several factories
have closed or are running in limited
way and only groceries and meat
markets are open for business, except
where the stores are operating without
heat. We are also told that thousands
of men are out of employment and that
many families are being kept warm in
the school houses and other public
places. 1t is hoped that this situation
is only temporary, as National Fuel
Administrator Garfield has placed an
embargo on all general freight in Mich
igan and directed that fuel trains be
given the exclusive right of way for
the next two weeks.
State Fuel Administrator Prudden
has issued the following regulations
for Michigan, which are stated in a
general way, and became effective
Thursday morning: Wholesale and re-
tail places of business and all Offices
and other places of business may re-
main open nine hours each day, except
on Saturday when twelve hours will be
allowed. Theatres and motion picture
houses must remain closed Monday and
Tuesday evenings and churches will be
allowed six hours only per week. Pub
lie dining rooms and bars must be
closed at 1000 o'clock p. m. The fuel
administrator estimates that these re-
strictions will lessen the demand for
fuel throughout the state by 1000 tons
per week. The above restrictions ap.
ply to electric lights as well as heat
The use of all electric signs is prohib-
tied and only such street lights and
electric lights as are absolutely neces-
sary in homes and places of business
are permitted to be used. 1t is said
the law gives the fuel administrator
full authority in the matter and the
latter promises prosecution to all Of
tenders.
In Clio there has been no actual
suffering from want of fuel that we
have heard of, thanks to the energy of
our fuel dealers and the way in which
the farmers have brought in cord wood.
but there is at present no supply on
hand and the local situation might easily
become acute.

Mrs. T. w. Smithson Dead

Mrs. T. W. Smithson, wife of the
editor of the Otisville Star, died at her
home in Otisville. last Friday, latter an
illness of about two months. The
cause Of death was blood poison conse-
quent upon cancerous affection from
which the deceased had suffered for
considerable time. Mrs. Smithson
was widely known in the vicinity of
Otisville, where she had resided for
many years, and was universally es-
teemed for many splendid qualities.
Funeral services were held from tie
home last Tuesday and the remains
were inferred in Otisvile cemetery.
Mr.. Smithson is remembered by
hundreds of the readers of The
Messenger as being for many years the
editor of The Gle Star and his many
friends in this vicinity will be as one
in their feeling of sympathy for him in
his bereavement. The other surviving
members of Mrs. Smithson's family are
one son, Christian M. Metz, Of Otis
vile, and two daughters, Mrs. Fay
Gooddell, of Otisville, and Mrs. Corne-
Illus Doane, of Forest. Stepdaughters
of Mrs. Smithson are as follows: Mes
danes N. w. Mann and d. ID. Meeks,
of Clio, VIM. Boyer and JAS. Jones, of
Detroit and J. w. Matson. of Flint.

An Error

The editor was in error, it appears,
in recent issue wherein it was stated
that village could not participate in
the benefits arising from the expend-
iture of township highway improve
ment funds. 1t is said that regular
town roads established before the in
corporation of village are entitled to
be thus improved. We are glad to
know this and can easily point to places
where some of the money can profit
ably and equitably be spent.

SEVERE BLIZZARD
TIES UP TRAFFIC
MICHIGAN SWEPT BY ONE OF
WORST STORMS IN HISTORY
Train and Electric Service Suspended
From Saturday Night Until
Monday Night

A bowling blizzard with clouds of
snow that was swept into huge drifts
in places favorable to such accumula-
tions covered Michigan and the Middle
West Saturday and Sunday, with the
result that railway traffic was practic-
ally suspended throughout the state for
a period of sixty-eight hours. Taking
into consideration the fact that fuel
was extremely scarce before the storm
came on the situation was rendered
more acute and much actual suffering,
especially in the cities, has been the
result.
Locally, the country highways were
badly blockaded for two or three days,
and on Sunday farmer who came to
town with load of milk reported that
his horses had been down in the drifts
three different times in coming that
many miles. On Vienna Street, in
Clio, for nearly its entire length in the
business section, the snow gathered
itself into huge drift that reached to
a depth of six or seven feet, in places,
and business was practically suspended
on Saturday.
The storm covered an area extending
from the Atlantic seaboard to the
Rocky mountains and from Canada to
the southernmost extremity of the
Florida mainland. In Nebraska the
temperature descended to 81 degrees
below zero.

Matrimonial

1t seems that we are justified in an
nouncing the marriage of r. Jones,
the popular grocer, of Clio, and Miss
Lillian Wright, of Flint, although we
have been unable to get definite infor-
nation on the subject. We are going
to say that the groom is one of Cho's
most enterprising and successful mer-
chants, and having considerable respect
for his discrimination, we are sure the
bride is charming and estimable lady.
That their welded life may be blessed
with health, prosperity and happiness
will be the wish of many friends, among
whom The Messenger will desire to
be counted.
