STOCK IN Store IS
TOTAL LOSS; REST
OF Store DAMAGED
PLANS UNDER WAY TO RESUME
BUSINESS; LOSS is COVERED
BY INSURANCE

FIRE Quilted II of plentywood's
most n%p-to-date grocery stores early
Nednesday morning and left the
Northwest Service Stores, Inc, to
chalk up practically Il complete loss
on its large stock of groceries and
fixtures.
The building, located in the CEN
ter Of the city's principal business
block, is owned by Fritz Kranser. u
former resident of Plentywood, who
now resides i'll Los Angeles. 1t was
covered by 5000 insurance.
There was $500 insurance on
the fixtures, and $4,000 ON the
grocery stock, carried by the NORTH
west Service.
plentywood's volunteer fire de-
partment responded quickly to the
alarm, turned i'll by Ole Gunderson
who with his mother was on the
way to work at 5:15. By the time
I1reInen reached the building, smoke
had become 81 dense that tt was al
most impossible to get ut the seat of
the flames. For Il time other build
ings III the block were t~hreatended:
I'LL the ladies' ready-to-Wear stock OF
the Fashion shop, owned by AIRS. Fss.
II. f. Helges0n, was moved out.
In spite Of the Sitting smoke
which all but 0yercame several OF
the men, those with the hose forced
their way into the burning structure
and, once the steady stream was
turned on the rapidly spreading
flames, it was but. d short time I'M
I'll the fire was gotten uadar con
troll.
Much of the floor was burned out,
tumbling the big frigidaire equip
ment and other fixtures into the
basement. What stock was moi
burned was entirely ruined by water
and smoke, and there will be little !
that can be salyaged.
Cecil Gidley, resident manager OF
the store, had been inside about
forty-flye minutes before the fire
was discovered having gotten up
early to make a trip to Williston for
a supply of groceries. He was work. !
ing on his truck at the garage when
the siren sounded, and was surpr:s-
ed to learn the fire was In his own
establishment.
Chas. Hauge, general manager OF
the Service Store chain, arrived
from his home at Wolf Point about
Wednesday to check up the
loss. Mr.. Hauge told the Herald that
the company would make immedl-
ate plans for r%eopening its store at
other | ocation. Negotiations
for new quarters included the Ribn
bank building where the Emergen-
cy Relief committee has Deen hay-
ing its office during the past win
.er.
This is the second heavy loss In
cured by the Northwest Stores, fire
destroyed their big stock IN
three ago.
1t is not known what Mr.. Kran- /
err, owner Of the building M ght do :
owards reconstructing the proper
v, although there seems to be little
likelihood that he would be inclined
0 rebuild. i
The building was nailed up i'm i
.nediately following the fire. leay .

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY

 Secretary, American Bridge League
 I want to call special attention to one of the new laws which be- came effective February 1st which governs duplicate play, and also pivot and progressive bridge, com monly called Party Bridge" This new law reads:
 "When declarer fulfills his con- tract and it's value is less than 100 points his side shall receive a pre- mium of 50 points in addition to the value of the tricks won." On November IS, 1882, the Whist club announced the new code to govern rubber play. This organiza- tion- has been making the laws for rubber play for number of years, while the American Bridge league has prepared and published the code to govern duplicate, tourna- ment, play and the code governing pivot and progressive--or party bridge.
 When the American Bridge league held it's national champions ship tournament in New York city the last week in November, it an- nounced a tentative code to govern duplicate bridge. requesting bridge players and clubs throughout the country to make suggestions which would be included in the final code to become effective February |, 1883.
 Without doubt the new less than-ga premium is the most important change made in the new laws.
 We all know, when playing rub Der bridge, that to obtain a par tial score has considerable value. In other words, if you have a 60 on the score, you can go game on the next hand if you can make two of any suit, and rubber players will strive to prevent their oppo- nents from obtaining partial score just as they will strive to stop them from going game.
 Let me give you this one exam pie. Supposing your opponents have bid hearts and your side, which is vulnerable. has been bidding spades.
 The opponents bid three hearts and you feel quite confident that they could make such contract, but do not believe that they could make four hearts. With the bid ding, you also feel that your side cannot make three spades.
 In rubber bridge you would not hesitate to bid three spades and go down one trick. which would leave you minus 100, rather than allow your opponents to make a partial score.
 In duplicate bridge in the past you could not use this type of bid ding. You would have to pass and allow your opponents to make their three hearts uncontested, because if you bid three spades and went down one trick you would be minus 100 points on the board. while if you allowed your opponents to make their three hearts, they would only be plus 90.
 Believing that duplicate bridge should more closely conform to rubber play. the lawmakers de- cided 10 give premium of 50| points for these partial scores. Let me show you how 1t works.
 SupposirG that your side bids and makes one heart. You will re- ccive 30 points for the one heart bid. and 50 points for making your contract.
