LA PINE, June 5 .Fire, consid
ered to have been almost certainly
started by an Incendiary, destroyed
the 125,000 school building here
early this morning, while practically
the entire population of La Pine,
helpless to stay the progress ot the
flames, watched the conflagration.
The building carried only $12,000 in
surance, but already plans for re
building are being talked. This, it
is considered, would involve a bond
Issue, as tbe school patrons of tbe
district are desirous ot a better and
larger school of more nearly (ire-
proof construction. .
Footprints ot a man leading to and
from the building constitute the chief
indication at present that the fire.,
was set. Rain fell shortly after 9:30
o'clock last night, obliterating all
marks in the soil, but a new pair ot
tracks was made some time after .
that hour and before tbe fire started.
Tbe building had been empty since
the close of school last week.
Second Fire In Year
Tbe blaze had been under way (or
some time apparently before It was
discovered, (or the entire structure
was in (lames before the alarm was
given at 3:15 o'clock this morning.
No other buildings were near, so that .
no danger menaced any other prop
erty in La Pine.
Deputy Sheriff George Stokoe was
called from Bend this morning and
spent several hours investigating the
circumstances ot the Ore. Deputy
State Fire Marshal Fomeroy was ex-.
pected in this atterooon to assist -Stokoe.
The building destroyed was six
year old, a two-story structure with
four rooms on the upper floor, and
furnace room, basketball court, and
domestic science and manual train
ing rooms on the first door, a semi
basement. : . . '''
The loss is La Pine's second from
