BURNED STATION
 WILL BE REBUILT FIRE ORIGIN A MYSTERY
Big Blaze Which Destroyed Union Station at Little Rock Was Plain
 ly Visible at Conway.
fBy United Press ]

Little Rock, April 8.-Officials of the Missouri Pacific railway here today made the positive announcement that the union station which was destroyed by fire will be rebuilt at once. Tenn porary frame waiting rooms and tick ct offices will be erected and used un- til the new building is completed. It is believed there is lttle likelihood of consummating an arrangement with the Cotton Belt and Rock Island rail ways whereby all the roads entering Little Rock will use the same passen- ger station.
 The origin of the big fire remains a mystery. The blaze is known to have started with heavy explosions on the third floor, but no theory as to their cause has yet been adduced. The building, which was thought to be fire resisting if not almost fireproof, burn ed with amazing rapidity, the entire structure beigg in ruins within two hours after the fire began. Delay by the fire department in reaching the station probably made it impossible to save the building from entire destruc- ton
 The station was erected 1907 to 1909 at cost of $75O000. At least double this sum will be required to re- place 1t at present costs.
 
 The reflection on the clouds of the big fire which destroyed the union sta tion at Little Rock last night wa plainly visible at Conway and was seen by many citizens. News of the fire was flashed here a few minutes after it's discovery.

ONLY LIGHT SNOW But
KIDDIES ARE HAPPY

Although sufficient snow and sleet
fell to furnish good shedding for the
kiddies. the northeast snow storm that
swooped down on Annapolis yesterday
morning did not reach the proportions
that the weather foreeasters said that
il would. 1t looked as though an old
fashioned snow had set in for sure.
and probably would prevail for day
or two. and such was the prediction Of
the weather sharps. But the fieecy
flakes ceased TO fall along about dark,
and afterwards came hail and sIeet of
and on during the night. .f
More snow was forecast for today
but the heavy gray clouds seem to
have broken to a marked extent. the
sun peeped out before O'Clock and
the indications now are that the storm
will be blown out TO sea and that cold
er weather will follow.

WEATHER RECORD
FOR 1919 ISSUED BY
DISTRICT DIRECTOR

Despite the fact that 1919 was the
"dryest' year in the country's history
from all alcoholic viewpoint and one
of the stormiest years so far as gen
eral internal conditions were concern
ed, there is one thing that can be said
of it: From a weather viewpoint it
was as gentle as a lamb.
Alfred II. Thiessen, for this district.
United States Weather Director. has
just issued a climatic and general
weather report for one year and it
shows that the~year had about as much
individuality asian alley cat The only
kind OF a record it can boast is that ii
produced the hottest October day in
about so years, or ever since the
Weather Bureau began pising up its
yearly statistics. October 3. 1919, was
hot. Any person who stood the swell
ter OF the city's heat that day will re-
member it as abnormal and a fitting
tribute to the country's temperature
record OF 80 degrees for that day
The other records show a happy
medium. The annual average tenn
perature was 55.3 degrees, which was
about the average for the rest of the
uninteresting years since 1870. The
total rain and snow fall or precipta-
ton. was 4723 inches, which was not
unusual The Wind tried to blow up a
record, but the best it could average
in hourly velocitS-for the year was 6.5
miles an hour. There were only 81
inches OF snow fall. There We're 1886
hours of sunshine and there were %
thunderstorms and the same number
OF dense fogs during the year. but
again there was no record broken.
The weather forecast Is snow or
probably rain. with more moderate
temperature for today. With no ex
