After the fire had been burning
about an hour with no sign of flames
a light, muffled explosion in the base
ment seemed to give the fire new life.
The clouds Of smoke rolling out of
the basement became more dense and
spots of flames were seen. All efforts
to reach the flames were unavailing
due to the low water pressure and it
was not long before the interior Of
the building became raging furnace:
When the fire boys saw that their ef-
forts We're useless on that building
they directed their attention to saving
adjoining buildings. The Van Auken
residence in the northeast corner Of
the block caught fire several times
and the furniture and personal effects
were removed to a position of safety.
The front of the Pure Food Grocery
across the street from the fire, caught
fire in several places but volunteers
assisted the fire boys and saved that
building. The Barnes County Citizen
building was badly scorched but in
scipient blazes were quickly quenched
end no serious damage resulted. The
plate glass windows in the Hedstrum
Grocery We're cracked by the intense
heat. The Fifth Avenue Hotel was
subject to the most intense heat but
suffered no damage.
Manager Harvey Taylor, of the
Peoples Cooperative Co.. states that
the building and stocks would inven-
tory about 100000. The company
was protected on the building for
about ninety percent Of it's value and
had about eighty percent of the value
Of the stock insured. The Marble
stone Co. suffered a considerable loss
thru smoke. Their building was filled
with smoke within fifteen minutes af..
ter the fire was discovered and three
hours had passed before the doors
could be opened to clear the air: Man

in that district patrolled their pro-
perty and no damage was done.
That Valley City has one Of the
best fire departments in the country
was proven by the fire last night
While the boys were hampered by the
lack of water they put up a stubborn
fight and confined the fire to the
building in which it started. Men of
sporting instincts in the crowd would
have willingly given long odds that
the Marblestone building could not be
saved but their efficient work thruout
the evening held the fire to it's orig
inal location and Valley City was saw
ed the most disastrous fire in it's his
tory.
The origin of the fire is not known,
the most probable theory advanced
being that it was the result of defec-
tive wiring.
The Peoples Cooperative Trading
Company was owned by about 200
farmers of the county and had large
business. 1t was popular institu-
tion and the one big regrettable thing
is that lot Of good employees are
thrown out of job. The loss to the
company and the stockholders is of
course large and that, too, is a mat
ter of regret. The burning out of
this big business leaves big hole in
the mercantile forces Of the city and
the vacant lot where this fine build
ing stood looks lonesome today.
Losses to tenants in the Peoples
Cooperative Trading Co. building are
as follows:
Peter Fearing, household goods and
personal effects, total loss, fully in
sured.
Mrs. L. C. Bordwell, furniture and
personal effects, total loss, fully in
sured.
Mr.. Phillips, furniture and personal
effects, total loss, no insurance.
Harry Olsby, furniture and personal
leffects. Total loss, fully insured.
Mr.. Ziegler, furniture and persona
effects, total loss, no insurance.
Mrs. Reid, total loss, fully insured.
A. F: Pierce, office fixtures, tota
loss, fully insured.
American Legion Club rooms, fix
lures and stock, $1,000, $500 insurance
Other losses were sustained by He'd
:strum Grocery, Pure Food Grocery
The Barnes County Citizen, Mrs. Va
Auken and The Marblestone Co.,. al
covered by insurance.
/ Losses as the result of smoke dan,
age were sustained by the tenants O
the second floor of the Marbleston
Co., building and the Valley Furnitur
Co., building. Very little insuranc
was carried by these people. The los
to the Knights of Pythias in their clu
room was slight and fully covered
insurance.

ager R. G. Doty stated last night that
their stock would approximate $685.
900, fully covered by insurance.
The upper story of the Peoples
Store was occupied by several FAM
lilies who suffered total loss of fur
niture and personal effects. Their
loss is estimated at approximately
$500, only partly insured. The bal
ance of the second floor was occupied
by the American Legion club rooms
Furniture and fixtures in these rooms
were valued at about 81 200 with $500
Insurance. The fixtures were owned
by Fred Hemenisch, steward Of the
club,
There were several families living
above the Marblestone Co., and the
Valley City Furniture Co. While no
estimate can be made as to their loss
they will suffer considerable damage
as the result of the smoke which fill
ed those two buildings.
The most common remark heard in
the crowd last night was, "We guess
the bond issue will carry on Monday"
1t was evident from the first that an
adequate water supply would have
enabled the fire department to con-
troll the fire with ease. Valley City is
indeed lucky that the wind was in the
south as a. north or northwest wind
would have meant the destruction of
the entire block if not the entire busi-
ness section north of the tracks. Just
after the Peoples Store building had
collapsed, when the flames and heat
were the worst, little hope was enter
tanned for the Marblestone building
but the fire wall between the two
buildings held and the flames did not
spread. The south wind carried fly
ing embers several blocks to the north
and at times the residence district in
the north part of the city was seri-
ously threatened but property owners

Lack of adequate water pressure hampered the
fire department last night and allowed small basement
