Dallas Hotel Damaged The Dallas hotel, a large two story frame building at the cor ner of Mill and Church streets, owned by Sam Burk, was dam aged by fire and water yesterday afternoon to the extent of about $1500. The loss to the building i9 covered by insurance. 0. Hammill conducted the hostelry, and losses quite heavily by dam age done to bedding and furni ture in the sleeping rooms. His loss is estimated at $1000. Mr. Hammill was absent from town at the time of the fire, but Mrs. Hammill expresses the opinion that there was no insurance on their personal property. The fire evidently had its origin from a defective flue. It was first discovered when a dense volume of smoke was seen is suing from the roof over the kitchen. The fire company re sponded and had water on the building within a short time after the alarm was given. Mr, and Mrs. Hammill came here from Portland two months ago and leased the Dallas hotel for a term of years. The building will be repaired as soon as possible. -Observer, Dec. 25. Forest Notes Only one modern sawmill is operated in the territory of Hawa:i. In district 4 of the forest ser vice, with headquarters at Ogden, Utah, lightning caused 36 per cent of this year's fires and campers 27 per cent As showing the possibilities for tree growth in regions where irri gation has to be depended upon, it is pointed out that Boise, Ida ho, has as many as 94 different kinds of ornamental and shade trees. The Laurentide company of Quebec, producers of pulp and pulpwood, is reforesting its non agricultural out-over lands. It is also importing reindeer from Newfoundland, to see if they can take the place of dogs in winter woods work. A small railroad operating an oil-burning locomotive on the Tahoe national forest, California, had a breakdown during the past summer and burned wood instead of oil for one day. On this day fifteen fires started along the right of way. During the pre ceding year, only one fire oc curred near the railroad and it was not thought that the engine was responsible for that one.
