a announced today that he would

fires at the institution.
Superiors of the Sisters of Mercy
organization are expected to arrive
toniitht from Portland to make an
investigation of the Mercy Hospital
fire which occurred yesterday. Un
til that time and until the Insurance
idjustment has been made no work
toward repairing the building will
be attempted.
It has been freely Intimated that
the fire was set but nothing has
been discovered to bear out this
conclusion and although four conse
cutive fires would make one think
that there was some basis Cor such
conclusion nothing has been dis
covered to lead to the suspicion of
my person. Several theories have
been advanced as to how the fire
might have originated but bo much,
of (be upper portion of the building
was destroyed that it is Impossible
to ascertain the cause of the con
flagration. It has been proposed that when
the repairs are made that the third
lory be removed completely and
that t flat roof that Is fireproof be
built over the second floor. The
flrat floor would then onlv he lined
or patients and the second floor

Will Try to
Revive Band
Attempts will be made at once to
evlve the Roseburg band which died
i natural death Tuesday. It Is to
be regretted that a city the slie of
Itoseburg, with as many accomp
lished musicians as can be found
here, to be without an bind, espe
cially at this time of the year. It Is
also Imperative that a band be form
ed If a local organization Is to fur
nish music for the festival. There is
great deul nf good musical talent
available and If sufficient Interest
ean be produced a fine band Is no!
ilble. It Is hoped that the effort to
he made to revive the organisation
is successful and that a good bsnd
can be secured for the summer
months at least.
