MT. LAKE PARK
Two Youthful Firemen

AOutAlAuA III CAuCh
Not much news-though on Sunday
afternoon we thought there would be
bad news. The Mountain Lake Hotel
was on fire and did that brighten the
whole Park! After all, it's just about
our one bright spot and had the fire
proven worse there might have been
another story. AS it was the fiue in
the fireplace situated in the lobby
caught fire. A small part of the back
wall was burned. The fire was discov-
cred by Billy Grimes, the small scion
of the home. Not only did he give the
alarm but managed to get the hose out
and connected.
Almost the only way now one can
get news is to just "ramble" through
the Park. Well, even then, it's scarce.
We did have a chat with two young
chaps who were selling that new fan
gled electric fence. They told me some
pretty tall stories as to what the fence
would do and later on we took good
look at one of them. Was it hot? ANY,
how, it ought to keep everything in
and everything out. The two statesmen,
Roy and Lewis Wildman, were all
worked up over it. We didn't see the
big agent, "Brit" Martin, in fact we
had heard almost all we could take at
one spell without his enthusiasm. It's
hot fence.
