The best news which Oakville could hear came out Thursday eve- ming with the announcement that Oakville will be given 8 new post office building, erection to start very soon. Three years ago efforts were started in this respect and the en- tire credit goes to the local Demo- cratic party in conjunction and with the efforts of Congressman J. Jo- seph Smith, representative in con- gress from this district.
 That the interest of the local Democrats is for improving and beautifying Oakville is certainly proven. The voters should remem- Der the efforts given in this and similar cases and when the time comes respond accordingly.

DAIRY BARNS
 LOST BY FIRE
DOOIittIe Farm Was One of States Largest - Rev.
 C. E. Beach Sentenced

The 'Doolittle' dairy barns were completely destroyed by fire yester- day. All the machinery such as the milking machines etc. were re- moved during the fire. The COWS some eighty odd in number were all out in pasture at the time but five bulls (kept in the barns) were re- moved unharmed. A large crop of hay estimated at about 10 tons was destroyed. The total loss was ex- pected to be in the thousands.
 The 'Torrington Fire Dept was summoned almost immediately and responded quickly to find the barn mass of flames, and that the city water supply did not reach there. The firemen had only their boos- ter tanks which were used to check the spread of the fire to . house nearby which seemed for time to be in danger of also being de- stroyed.
 Thousands of people from all over the surrounding country were on hand to witness the incident. Viewing the ruins some hours later the awed spectator would find the barn site @ mass of smouldering blackened charred debris and a huge mound of burning hay, all this the standing evidence of what fire can do.
