Fire Totally Destroys
Bradstreet Boarding
House. South Gardiner


Shortly after 2 o'clock on Friday
morning an alarm Of ire was sound
ed for a fire in the old Bradstreet
boarding house located on River
road, South Gardiner, owned and &C.
cupied by Harry T. Mclaughlin. The
loss on building and contents is esti-
mated in the vicinity of $500. with
an insurance Of $500. The cause of
the fire is supposed to be a defective
chimney. Mr.. Mclaughlin. during
the afternoon or early evening built
a fire in one OF the rooms In the ell.
He passed 4 part of the evening with
his son and shortly after his return
home retired. About o'clock he
was aroused by finding his room full
of smoke and 1t was with difficulty
he made his escape and aroused the
neighbors. All his personal and
household effects were lost.
The building was erected some 20
years ago by the Bradstreet Lumber
company and used by them until a
few years past as boarding house.
It's destruction takes the last OF the
large houses used In the palmy days
Of numbering and South Gardiner
mill work. The building was well
built 2 IL story structure. the main
house being 50x30 and the ell 65x3O
The stable was 5Ox36
At one time 1t seemed as though
the entire community was In danger
but the light rain and the absence Of
a hnoyyy xyfpd
only salvation of the community
One of the houses on Sawyer stree
caught and the blaze was extin
guished by the members OF thu
che mical company.

Visitors Week at Gardiner Post
Office

Many citizens of Gardiner have
availed themselves of the opportunity
offered them this week to inspect the
Gardiner post Office and become bet
ter acquainted with it's workings.
The interior Of the Office was a
pleasant surprise to all who inspected
it who had not done so before. The
workings were clearly explained by
Postmaster Bragdon and his assist
ant Arthur Lander. Several classes
from the High school and one from
Highland avenue took advantage of
the invitation and visited the build
ing in body. 1t is safe to assert
that after the trip, the post office
will mean something more to them
than "a place to mail letters"
The working force, clerks, city and
K. +. D. carriers numbers 20. Six
carriers are required on the city
city routes and seven on the rural
routes. There are also three sub
stitutes. City carriers are worked
eight hours and the rural men
have no stated time in which they
may do their work but the routes
must be covered each day. City car
riers receive s1400 per year for the
first four years and then $500 per
annum. Two and one half per cent
Of their salaries are reserved as a
pension fund but in the event of their
resignation the money thus accrued
is refunded to them.
The working day commences at 5
A. NJ. and closes at eight. On Sun
day the building is opened from Z
to 1890 for the benefit Of those
who have boxes.
The parcel post branch Of the SER
vice has developed wonderfully and
the carrier, who has horse and
wagon about 100 packages in the city
and the rural carriers average nearer
14o. Visitors week was so success
full in giving information to the pa
irons regarding how their mail is
handled and the little things that
serve to hinder and delay, that it
should be made a yearly feature.

RESCUERS CARRYING
BODIES FROM MINE

Jackson, Calf, Sept. 10 (By the
Associated Press) s).-Five bodies of
miners entombed 20 days by fire
in the Argonaut gold mine, were
brought to the surface today. The
United States bureau Of mine crew
wrapped the bodies in canvas where
they were found last night in the
1850, foot level Of the Argonaut and
carried them through the Kennedy
mine adjoining. Three Of the dead
were identified. The work of bring
ing out the AZ victims of the fire
and the poisonous gases will continue
until all have been recovered.
A coroner's jury will be sworn in
tomorrow by Mrs. Lola Potter, the
coroner, to view the i'll fatcd miners.
An inquest probabl ywill be held
Thursday. It is not expected the
responsibility for the disaster will be
fixed.
Persons without passes or business
at the Kennedy mine were ordered
off the property and there was no
demonstration when the rescue crews
appeared at the collar of the Kennedy
shaft with their human burdens.
A check of the names Of the dead
showed seven were American born,
twenty in Italy, 13 in Jugoslavia and
four were of Spanish or Mexican an
cestry. Others could not be checked.
The state compensation fund is cx-
pected to pay about 100000 to the
dependents of the mine disaster In
addition the state allows 500 for
each burial and the Argonaut company
has added $25 to each case.
E. A. Stent, vice president of the
Argonaut company, said he felt the
fire was unavoidable and his company
had done everything possible to res
cue the men. He declared he would
welcome an official investigation. ~.

Near Eastern affairs. Among others,
Henry Morgenthau, the former Ameri-
can ambassador to Turkey, had break
fast with him today.
The British government is still
without formal reply from the
Angofa government to the allied warn
ings concerning the neutral zone. In
its strong adherence to the semi-offi-
cial statement issued Saturday, the
government is imbued with the belief
that an exhibition Of firearms and
solidarity Of the whole empire in
maintaining the British stand con-
cerning the straits and the neutral
zone is the best method of bringing
to the realization of the Angora gov
ernment that nothing can be gained
by forcing the situation. Unless Kemal
Pasha should make a further new
move. no further developments are
expected until the end Of the week.
By that time Lord Curzon will have
returned to London, but a great deal
depends upon the success or failure
Of his mission.
