FIRE DESTROYS
SIX BUILDINGS
AT IMPERIAL

Another disastrous fire visited the
valley last night when six stores, in
Guiding restaurant, burned to the
ground at Imperial The loss is esti-
mated at around $4,000, partially
covered by insurance.
One of the FL Centre firetrucks
and eight of the firemen OF this
city made the run to Imperial and
assisted in fighting the blaze. The
Brawley fire department also an
swered the call.
According to available information
the conflagration started in the
Oyster Loaf cafe when hot grease
exploded. As was the case in the
recent holocaust here, a high wind
aided the flames and before the
various fire fighting apparatus could
get into operation the blaze had
spread to adjoining buildings.
The greatest loss, it is understood,
was suffered by the Mona hotel, par
tally burned, the restaurant which
was completely destroyed and a pool

buildings were empty.
The work of the fire departments
was more in the nature of prevent
ing the blaze from spreading to ad-
joining blocks as officials admitted
it would have been impossible to
save any of the buildings that were
destroyed.
The first alarm was turned in at
9 p. M. and the blaze was not under
complete control for several hours.
The fire apparatus sent from here
had Just been overhauled a few min
utes before the alarm was turned in.
The Moreland truck had been dam
aged Friday night and a repairman
from the La France company had
worked all day yesterday repairing
the machine. AS he was putting his
tools away the alarm sounded.
A check up this morning showed
no one was injured or killed as the
result of the fire.

hibit states from manufacturing
liquor and selling it although the
amendment does bar individuals
from such activities.
AS result of Hardgrove's state
ment, two Wisconsin legislators were
at work today preparing joint reso-
luton to be placed before the as
sembly providing for entrance of
Wisconsin into the liquor business.

American youth who staked his
own life and endangered that OF
three o;hers for the glory of shar-
ing in trans Atlantic flight was
the hero of all Paris today, for

by the Parision crowds for his
audacity.
Arthur Schneider, the Portland,
Me-, lad who slowed away on the

the flight from Old Orchard, Nc j,
to the coast of Spain, was brought
along by the French aviators--
Jean Assolant, Rene Lefevre and

pleted their trip to Paris last night.
The fear that the youth would
get a cool reception here for en-
dangering the lives of the three
flyers on their hazardous journey
across the Atlantic by adding his
extra weight to the ship, was
quickly dispelled soon after the
Yellow Bird made it's landing. In
the language of Schneider himself
"I'm sittin' pretty"
Because of the rain and the un-
certainty of the hour of arrival
there was only handful of per-
sons at LIE Bourget Field when the
