SERIOUS FIRE AT
PLUMBING COMPANY
Prompt Action OF The Fire Depart
ment Averts Serious COnflagra-
ton. Building Badly Damaged
BY Flames.

The fire department was called tt
the Valley City Plumbing and Heat
ing Co., office and warehouse at the
corner of 4th street and 9Th avenue
about 8:15 last evening. The entire
west end of the upper story Of this
warehouse was afire when the de-
partment arrived and the fire boys
are to be congratulated in their quick
response and their fast work which
resulted in the saving of the building
1t is not known what the origin OF
the fire was but as it evidently start.
ed in or near the toilet on the upper
story it is thought that it was caused
by the careless disposal of partly
burned cigarette.
The entire west end of the upper
story was totally destroyed and a
part of the floor and roof. Very lit
tie fire damage was done to the first
floor but the water and chemical dam
age will be great.
Only the prompt work of the fire
boys saved the balance Of the build
ing, many courageous things being
done by the various members in their
attempt to quench the flames.
This building is owned by A. G
Bonhus of this city and C. A. Bonhus
of Minneapolis. 1t is understood that
their loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.
The stock of goods and fixtures is
owned by the Valley City Plumbing
and Heating Co., which firm is COM
posed of VIM. R. Foster and P. j.
Connolly. They stated to the Times
Record that they have suffered very
little loss from the fire but an approx
innate loss of $500 to $500 as a re-
suit of the water and chemical used.
This loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.

MAY DROP SALES
TAX FOR BONUS
Chairman McCumber Facing Hard
Situation. Calder Alters POsit-
ion on Bonus. Wants Paid Up
Insurance.

Washington, Feb. 17-Congress was
torn today between legalizing sales
tax to pay the soldiers bonus or drop
ping the cash bonus altogether, sub
shutting paid up insurance Or land
grants.
This was the situation resulting
from President Harding's letter sug
costing the sales tax or abandonment
of the alternatives for the bonus. Inc
House Ways and Means committee
meeting this morning proposed to
sound out the senate on dropping the
bonus and sales tax proposals. But
inst how congress would put thru
the payment plan was as much mys
terry to members as at any time since
that body threw up its hands and
soupht the counsel Of the president
That the sales tax will have hard sled
ding is certain from the utterances
of it's friends and foes. But from the
bonus standpoint there is still a
chance Of it's going through.
Chairman McCumber Of the senate
finance committee and irrevocable aa-
vocate of the bonus finds himself 1ac-
ING hard situation His constl'u-
ents the farmers OF the northwest
are flooding him with notices to vote
for the sales tax. On the other hano
he has repeatedly declared a bonus
must be passed and he, with Chaf-
man Fordney of the ways and means
committee still predict emphat'callv
that it will be passed. Senator Calder
e Now York heretofore pro-bonus
has altered his position so no" ne
stands against a cash bonus out 1or
paid up insurance.
