Fire early last night razed the Willamette Park dance pavil
ion southeast of town, long a favorite dance spot of University
students. The building, valued at $18,000, will probably not bo
rebuilt.
Cause of the fire was not determined. A. B. Loud, proprietor,
said wiring in the building was new.
No fire equipment came to fifrht the fire. The SnrWfieiit
department was called, Loud said
but refused to come because the
property was not within the cit>
limits.
No Equipment
Loud said he did not call the
Eugene department, because they
had refused to fight the last fire
in the park a little more than a
year ago.
The building, with a dance floor
100 feet by SO, was "about a
third" covered by insurance, ac
cording to Loud. He said he would
probably not rebuild, partially
because of the rising cost of
building materials.
A bass viol, belonging to Art
Holman’s orchestra, was lost in
the fire, and Holman’s entire
music library was destroyed,
Loud said. A piano, belonging to
Mrs. Loud, was also lost.
Nobody Hurt
Nobody was in the building
when the fire started about 7:15,
Loud said. When the caretaker,
a Mr. Ggtrretson, arrived at the
scene he asked bystanders to
soak the covered walk leading to
the north entrance of the pavilion
with water. They refused to do
this, according to Mrs. Loud.

ure Eugene's Armistice day cele

Who Hocked Bell\
Campus Mystery
Where is Oregon’s victory bell ?
The Betas, who had the bell,
report that “We haven't got it.
“Some one, some group, came
over and got it,” a representative
of the house told an Emerald re
porter last night.
When asked if reports that the
bell was at Oregon State were
true, the house representative
said, “I doubt that very much.
We have contacted the Beta
house at Corvallis and they dis
claim any knowledge of its
whereabouts.”
Helen. Angell, editor of The
Emerald, received a letter, post
marked Corvallis, November 7,
and signed "disgustedly yours, a
student from a real school,"
which hinted the bell was on tho
OSC campus.
