Though . m principal materials,
steel, Iron, brick and hollow tile, are
the components of a strictly fireproof
buildinit, they were not here assem
bled in on intelligent manner,
girders were not protected by
proofing; as a result, they were
warped by the heat and gave way.

Machines, printing presses, and all
sorts of Inflammable supplies clogged

building started to burn, the

Editor La Grande Observer:
Dear Sir: I want to ask through
vnur valuable naner. how many miles
of rock road was built last year, and
how much per mile did it cost, and
is It a fact as reported, that the M.
A M. Co. of Island City, offered to
sell the county board a rock crusher
and road roller for $1300 less than
they paid for the one they bought,
and If so, why?
How Is It, that the county court
takes one-half of the road funds for
building and repairing bridges, and
then kept $150 out of the funds of
road district No. 24 to pay for putting
a few props uncer the Harris bridge
last summer?
How Is It that the county court can
appoint themselves to an office and
draw two salaries? Judge Henry taid
if ho was elected county Judge of
Tnejt.nlon county, he would furnish the
tire' I taxpayers a monthly statement of
every dollar spent and where it was
spent and for what purposes. He
would give the amount of road funds
belonging to each road district, and
the contract price of every bridge
built or repaired. Has he done so?
If not, why?

Pr
such a character that the building is
not beyond repair. By many of the
engineers the fact that the fire did
not become a conflagration Is consid
ered more remarkable than that the
building was destroyed. If It had been
of the old, wholly non-fireproof type,
the flames would probably have de
voured many blocks.
though none of the largest build
ings are constructed in this unscien
tific manner, unquestionably there are
a great many In New York no better
than the Parker building. This fire
has its effective lessons, one of which
Is that every particle of the steel
work or structural parts of reinforced
concrete, should be protected with
hollow tile, as both steel and con-;
crete, though incombustible, are great
ly damaged by heat.
'Hlff-Henrtcd Jim."
Thsr Is the true ring about the
name "Big-Hearted Jim," a play
which Is to be seen here soon. The
title, "Big-Hearted Jim" gives the
keynote and the fine, though rough
personality of Jim Saxon, the sheriff
of Medicine Lodge, Mont., Is a fitting
central figure for such a story. Just

with the characteristic western broad
free scope. Jim Is in love with a
pretty school teacher who has a se
cret, having been the victim of a mock
marriage, and the one man who
knows it threatens exposure If she
doesn't help steal Triska, an Indian
maiden, and heiress. Romance, hu-
more and pathos are dexterously In
terwoven through the four acts and
strongly played by an excellent com
