IRON RIVER
From Ircn River Pioneer
EVANGELICAL CHURCH

DESTROYED BY FIRE
A fire originating in the basement
of the Evangelical church entirely
destroyed the edifice last evening.
March 29th).
When the fire was discovered, the
usual Wednesday evening prayer
meeting was in progress. Sherman
Esswein, the janitor, started the fire
in the furnace at $50, and after get
ting the building in comfortable shape,
left the building and went to the Ii
brary believing everything safe in the
furnace room. lit was nearly 8 o'clock
when the fire was discovered and the
alarm given.
The volunteer fire department was
on hand with two hose carts in short
order and it seemed then that it was
entirely probable that the fire could be
checked and confined TO the basement.
Hose were strung from the nearest
hydrant on Mill street, but when the
nozzlemen signaled for water, there
was no water to be had. The hydrant
men announced that the hydrant was
'froze up" More hose was procured
and attached and then the cart was
taken west for block and the hose
attached ito the hydrant on the corner
of Mill and George streets. The fire.
men had no better luck there. That
hydrant also would not work Next
it was decided to try hydrant farther
east on Mil street and many willing
hands were engaged in dragging the
hose down that street, when hot water
applied to the first hydran. tried had
finally thawed it out so that it could
be opened. By that time the hose had
been dragged past that point, so it
had to be dragged back nearly block
to be coupled on. All this time the
flames were eating their way up
through the roof on the south side be-
fore water was applied. With that
stant the best the firemeh could dc
was to keep the flames down as much
as possible as an aid in saving other
buildings in the neighborhood.
AS it was, perfect shower OF
burning shingles, sent skyward by the
draft, alighted on the roofs of build
ings to the westward, but this situa.
ton had been anticipated and mer
with water pals were on hand to ex.
tinguish the sparks.
The church building destroyed was
constructed about fifteen years age
and was neat and well constructed
building. Insurance was carried tt
the extent of $4,000, and the loss will
be considerable more than twice tha'
amount. 1t is hardly probable tina
the building and fixtures could b.
duplicated today for less than $4,000
It's destruction is a cause for genera
regret.

VOTED IN FAVOR

OF SCHOOL LOAN
While far from the full vote was
polled at the special meeting OF the
Iron River school district on Tuesday
afternoon, nevertheless there was con-
siderable interest shown in the propo-
sition considered-that of whether the
School Board should be authorized to
borrow up to S5,000.00 to meet the
expenses of school government for the
balance of the school term. 80 voters
voted in favor of granting the au-
thority and al against.
From the statement issued by the
Board it is evident that when tuition
which has been earned has been col
lected, and the state aid and county
aid money is ceived, the deficit will

Milwaukee on June LIST.
Inconsistency in their stand on
the principles of free speech and
free assemblage and an open disre-
gard of the laws of the state is
charged against the supporters of
LaFollette by Senator George B.
Skogmo, secretary of the Citizens
Republican State Conference.
eff they are entirely sincere in
their espousal of the right of free
speech and of the right of free as
semblage, why the terrific opposition
to the movement of the Citizens Re-
publican State Conference asks
Senator Skogmo.
"The proceedings of the confer
ence will be public and the Wiscon-
sin delegates and alternates will be
publicly nominated on the same day,
May 10, in every county at public
mass meeting called for that pur-
pose.
Governor Blaine assumes full
responsibility for his own words
when he makes it plain, as he did
in his statement from Madison, that
violation of the corrupt practices act
by supporters of LaFollette is not a
matter with which he will concern
himself.
"Does Governor Blaine want the
people of Wisconsin to understand
that he will take no steps to see
to it that the law is enforced? Does
he want the people TO understand that
such violations can go on without
any action by the governor of the
State to see that the election laws
are observed? The people will be
interested in all this.

ference convention which will be

ton in Wisconsin and what steps
should be taken to defend the best
interests of the citizens against the
attempt to place on the statute
books legislation that would be de-
structive to the progress of our
people as was the Nonpartisan Lea
que in North Dakota.
"For tn Sc who espouse meetings
addressed by Kate ,O'Hare in the
name of free speech and who demand
that state capitol and other public
buildings be opened to all radical
speakers who advocate the doctrines
of socialism and like organizations,
this opposition to the state confer
ence seems inconsistent.
