The Carlton Hotel Suffers Fire
Damage.

The fire in The Carlton last Sunday
evening about $50 gave the town an
other shock. 1t started in the base
ment under the kitchen. Nobody knows
how it started; it may have been caus-
ed by defective wiring. The fire de-
stroyed everything in the basement
storeroom, charred the joist and floor,
ran up between the partitions into the
kitchen and to the floors above, though
the fire itself was confined to the par
titions above the first floor. The dam
age from smoke and fumes is consid-
cradle; it will necessitate renovation of
the building throughout. The McDon-
aids have been operating the hotel in a
manner most pleasing to the travelling
public and to city guests. They had
just furnished the beds throughout
with new blankets; these must, of
course, all be dry cleaned again, as
must all bedding. Fifteen transients
were registered in the hotel at the time
of the fire, and some of them had al
ready retired If the fire had started
after midnight, no one can tell what
the consequences might have been.
The McDonalds are courageously
making the best of bad situation.
They are taking care of the guests as
before. The damage from water, out
side of the kitchen, is negligible. The
fire department gave quick and eff
ficient service in spite of the inconven-
fence caused by the curious who, as
before, ran their cars in and crowded
the adjoining streets.

Band Season Almost Over.

The Edgerton Concert band has been
on duty playing concerts and filling out
side engagements since May. The re-
hearsals started early in May, and the
first outdoor concert was given on Dec
Grafton day. During the season they
have played Is concerts, furnished
music at four funerals, taken four out
side jobs, played to 10 ball games, three
booster runs, and had 40 rehearsals,
making to date ~ meetings. They have
ahead of them three more engagements.
Anyone knowing something about
music realizes that this represents
great amount of work, spread over less
than four months. All of the members
are active in business of their own of
some kind, but have given their time
to work in the band when other people
could rest.
We, and all the people who have
heard the band, know that as an anna
teur organization it ranks among the
best of its size. 1t has tried to please
the public by giving programs of di-
versified character. If the programs
have contained considerable portion
of sprightly marches and modern jazz,
it is due to the taste of the auditors
who never failed to register their APP
prevail by footing their auto horns when
the stuff they liked was rendered.
When classic overture or an opera
strain was given the auto horns never
registered vociferous approval. This
was not due to the lack of skill on the
part of the band in playing the good
music; on the whole the bands reading
of noble overture was done with bet
ter musicianship than when they ripped
off the lighter stuff. The public taste
has for the past years dotted on the
syncopated rhythm of the modern dance
music, rather than on the noble strains
of pure melody woven into harmonious
tracery of pure art, and the band has
striven to please the public, and not
itself.
Would it not be an act of apprecia-
ton, welcome to the band and pleas
ure to the auditors, if the band was
prevailed upon, on some Sunday after
noon in the near future when weather
conditions are right, to play real con-
cert, giving program lasting couple
hours OF the best that the hand can
produce, and then make this benefit
concert for the boys by taking free
will offering in the crowd? Our neigh
bors from the vicinity would come to
listen at this final concert of the sea-
son, and by their presence and donation
show their appreciation of the work of
the organization. Let the band fix the
date and the place to give the concert.
The Reporter hopes the suggestion will
be taken up and made reality.

Ordinarily used only for filling in pur-
poses. to make new land along the
waste edges of waterways, clinxers are
now forming an important building
material In Brest. warehouses, sta
bles. garages, work buildings and even
small houses are made out Of clinkers
The clinkers are crushed. mixed with
sand. lime and cement and moulded
into blocks. The blocks are turned out
In various sizes and, according to the
Christidn Science Monitor, have an ad-
vantage over brick in that they cost
less and facilitate quick construction.
The builder can cover them with
plaster on the interior or with stucco
on the outside. One imagines the
thrifty citizen Of the Brest district saw
ing his clinkers to build his garage,
but as the making of these blocks is
an industry there Is presumably sys-
tenn for collecting the raw material
wherever the burning OF coal provides
1t.
Building blocks made OF clinkers are
not an economy expedient They came
into use in Brest because the humidity
OF the climate makes an ordinary brick
wall drip moisture. and these clinker
blocks withstand the humidity Better.
