Leaving Holly at one u IN. they
drove southwest and cireled to the

The outstanding result of the
trip was the knowledge gained of

of road which have recently been
Graded are in good condition ut

showing up well.
The pleasantcst feature of the
trip was the inspection of field
OF wheat on the farm of Elaf Paul

SCHOOLS SUFFER
BIG FIRE LOSS
Only One of Nine Disasters Be
Leyel Due to Ordinary b
Causes

Destruction of the Fossil Creek
schoolhouse, four miles south of
Fort Collins, by fire which broke
out Thursday morning, April nth
marked the ninth disastrous school
fire suffered by various parts of
Colorado during the last few
months. In the case of the Fossil
Creek school. however. it is believ-
ed that the fire was due to an over.
heated stove, while in all other
eases there is more than vague
suspicion that the fires were of
incendiary origin.
On the day prior to the fire in
Larimer county the Junior high
school at Sterling was destroyed by
fire which broke out suddenly and
without any known cause, result
ing in loss of nearly $l3O000 The
building housed 400 school children
d their teachers. The fire broke
ont during the forenoon, while
school was in session, in the boys
room in the basement. The call
for fire drill was sounded at once
and the building was emptied in
few minutes. The flames con
tinued to grow in intensity despite
the best efforts of the Sterling fire
department. and the building was
in ruins within q short time,

Two Publications

On May first the Granada Leader,
n newspaper which has for several
years been published at the office
of the Holly Chieftain for Granada,
was merged with the Holly Chief
tain.
The publishers of the two papers
have been prompted to merge them
by the belief that the effort eX-
pended in issuing the two papers
could be concentrated upon one
publication for the two towns with
resulting better service to both.
The new publication will provide
a much improved publicity service
for both readers and advertisers.
