of material and lumber, building per-
mits in that city aggregated nearly
two hundred thousand dollars the

st. Petersburg people are not doing it

Fire Last Friday Night.

At a little after midnight Friday
night fire was discovered by Night
Officer Ira Rima in the rear of A. A.
Lees tailor shop. The fire broke out
in woodshed that stands out at
the edge of the alley. 1t was a fair
sized shed and was burned complete
ly down before the fire department
arrived. The shed stood about three
feet from the east wall of the De-
orah Posten, and the heat from the
fire cracked all the windows in the
lower DOR of the Poster building.
How the fire started is a mystery
The shed was not used for anything
in particular and nothing of any
value was in it. About two months
ago Mr.. Lee came up to his tailor
shop about eleven o'clock one night
to put some coal in the stove, and
in going out back he discovered this
same shed on fire, and it looked to
him then as if it was set by some
one. He put the blaze out and didn't
think much about the affair after
wards.

OF town of about 1000 inhabi-

counties a resident said the other
day, II have lived here about thirty
years, and l don't believe there are
any more people in the town than
when l came. And in those early
days it wasn't much more than
stones throw from the center to the
edge of town in any direction. Since
those days we have spread out in
every direction, for this is a pros
porous and thrifty community, where
a greater volume of business is done
in a day than was at that time In
week. But while there are so many
more and better residences than in
the early days there are not so many
in the houses as formerly. believe
l could name forty houses in this
town with only one occupant each.
This same condition doubtless exists
in other towns everywhere and very
many of these will find it difficult
to accept census returns, having as
ISOLATED growth in population with
that of homes, while the truth of the
matter is these two are not running
in parallel lines at allIf all the one
and two-occupant houses of town
were to be removed, a startling
shrink in the territory covered by
that town would result. In the earli-
er days it was different"
