A fire that broke out shortly after four o'clock Monday morning totally destroy ed the big barn on the Fort Hin farm. in the town of Thompson. One COW and four head of young stock were destroyed in the fire, while three other cows that had been scorched by the flames were got ten out, as was pair of horses. The Fort Hill farm, made notable by the splendid development work done there years ago by Edward Doane, has been op- erated for several years by H. G. Rey- holds, who came from the vicinity Of Burlington, Iowa. MT. Reynolds is un- derstood to have purchased the farm. one of the finest equipped in the state, for s2o,eoo.
 person living in the neighborhood of the Fort Hill farm and who was up and about her home just before o'clock on Monday morning saw no sign of fire at that hour, but within less than half an hour the great barn was . roaring fur mace.
 Calls by telephone resulted h bringing assistance and the residents of Thomp- son village were aroused by the ringing of the church bell. Saving the barn was beyond possibility, however, 50 atten- ton was directed toward protecting other buildings on the property. A strong westerly wind that was threatening tc communicate the flames from the blaz- ing barn to other buildings standing neal it suddenly shifted to the north and al once relieved the tensity of the situa. ton.
 A covered way leading from the barn to the dairy building was torn down and this action saved the diary building be. tng destroyed. The dwelling, the power. house which in the past furnished power for the illumination of Thompson village escaped destruction.
 Blazing brands from the barn gwept as far as Quadis mountain, nearly a mil, distant, where brush fires were started and other brands swept by the wind to the vicinity of the home of Floyd Bowen, which seemed in such danger |. of being set afire that squad of mer
 went there to protect the property. All of the Reynolds farming machin CT, and tools were destroyed in the fire. Ina MT. Reynolds loss of live stock was no greater is due to the fact that only a few weeks since he disposed of his herd O. blooded cattle at sale in Vermont. l The barn that was destroyed was com l pleted in 1902, and was at that tim.

An increase of over s5oo,ooo in the grand list of the town of Kflingly Is uhovn in the figures compiled by the as sessoee-Chakles EA H; chins w. f1ei Labelle and Arnold P. Rich-who have tust completed their work. Killmgly's grand list is now well in excess of $S.- oeo, ,0eo and at the highest point in the history of the town
 Mr. Hutchins of the board said relative Ito the new list that 1t shows an in- crease In the number of acres of land in Khe town. This is of special and peculiar interest inasmuch as the average citizen will feel that land doesn't expand. New ert7neless more acres are shown on the Erand list than was the case last year and this is due to the fact that the aS- sessors have been making a keen in- iSpection of properties. They have added much acreage to lists that have been filed and in some cases landowners have come forward voluntarily and listed land not heretofore taxed
 Many years ago, old town reports will show, Killingly had even more acres within the same boundaries, as Is the case today, but this is explained by the fact that many acres are now listed as house lots, under which heading they are assessed at higher valuations
 MT. Hutchins expressed his apprecta- tion of the cooperation that the asses- sors have received from many taxpayers. This has made the work of the officials easier and has resulted iE better results in every particular.
 Although Killingly has large num- Der of automobiles listed-S32-this has not seemed to materially affect the num- her. of horses owned here, as the figures for horses and for number of, COWS owned in town are about the same as last year. This will surprise many who have read so frequently that farmers and others were disposing of thei cattle dur ing the past year on account of the high prices asked for grain and the allegsd

GERMANS WILL MAKE
 THEIR OFFER MONDAY
Teutons Believed to be Busy Draw
 ing Up New Proposals for Allies.

London, March 5.-Germany's real offer will be forthcoming on Monday. when her delegates appear before the supreme allied council to deliver the ans|-er of the Berlin cabinet to the Allied ultimatum presented on Thurs day. it was said in some quarters here today. 1t was declared that the Ger man representatives were busy while the conference was marking time in formulating fresh proposals.
 Premier Lloyd George conferred yesterday with Admiral Sir David Beatty. commander of the fleet. on the situation which would arise should the Allies decide to apply penalties to Germany. Authoritative informa- ton was claimed by the Daily Sketch that in case of a blockade both the North Sea and the Baltic would be the scenes of a naval demonstration, and that Great Britain in concert with France had made all prepara- tions to establish a naval cordon along the German coast.
