Mr. Winn's successful record with the school here last year is sufficient as an introduction. The high school is having full fcr;y-five minute recitation per iods thts year, and while this prevents the entire room from having their recesses together, a little personal freedom is al lowed', enabling each pupil to arrange his ouw rest period or recess when it least interfere with his studies. The system is proving satisfactory with the pupils and each one is careful that his recesses are not inter ferring with his studies so that this privilcdgo may he continued Thus the pupils are learning one of the greatest lessons of life self control. A special meeting .was called to order Wednesday morning to elect officers and arrange the first meeting of our Literary Society.

AGENT Pure Prepared PAINT Maupin Drug Co, Maupin, Oregon k L Thaim Tw Honnirs Bimskess Partly Insured A few minutes before ten o'clock- Saturday morning Mrs. Bates Shattuck was attracted by flames issuing from the Florence kerosene heater for the hot water tank in the residence appartments in the store build ing, and immediately summoned Mi'. Shattuck, F. C. Butler and Mr. Long from the store in hope of quenching the blaze. For a brief time they were enabled by the use of three pyrenes to extinguish the fire in the bath iMnin, but on opening the door to i ho bedroom where the (ire originated the (lames drove them back- Realizing that the buihli ig was gone, Mr. ShatUicl ran U i he front of the store and gave tl i alarm of fire. Meantime the rot it' hat caught and by the time Mrs. Shattuck could reach the kitchen from the outside entrance it, was impossible to get in thitnigh the smoke and (lames. It is estimated that not more than ten minutes elapsed until the entire building was envelop ed and a blanin.tr furnace fanned by the east, wind which was blowing. The work of removing as much as possible of the accounts and stock of the store, upon seeing tne structure was doomed, -was conducted with most remarkable dispatch and accuracy, which is attested tu by the creditable stock of goods now on sale in the I. 0. 0. F. building. The flames swept from the store building to the residence til Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Butler, destroying- it and all its contents,' while the owners were making all possible effort to help save the stock of the store. The barber shop of II. K. Kaiser and Fj. A. Cyr's pool hall and confectionery, were next to be swept, considerable of value being saved, including a piano. Adjoining the Rutlcr residence the appartments of Mrs. F. M. Jury and (he R. E. Wilson Co. implement room owned by B. F. Cook, and much of its contents was soon added to the losi. The Bank, which had been made ready for the catastrophe by the alert cashiers, Messers Stuart ami McDonald who re moved the furniture and secured papeis and equipment in the vault, caught from the Jory building across the street and was soon spreading (he flame::, to the' postollicc building on the opposite corner However, I'osl niar.ter Turner and assistants proved no less equal to the occa sion and had removed the con tents of the office including fix tures to a place of safety and in a very short time after the (ire were open for business in one corner of the I. 0. U. F. build ing opposite the drug store. The residence apartments of Mr. Brown and Mr. and Mrs J II. Chastain in (he postoflicc building were a total lose, the owners being out of town In the meantime the (lanns were raging, destroying (he Hotel Maupin, conducted by Mr. : and Mrs. John Dclletiglie, owned by R. F. Cook, considerable be- j ing saved; the Ilepp building, j occupied by Tom HcnneghanV person elTects was a total loss; the Dclletiglie cottage, vacant, opposite the hotel; J L. Confer and R. E. Wilson residences adjoining, from both of which some of household goods were saved. R E. Wilson Co.'s store, op posite the postoffice and Jory buildings, the oil house and machine sheds were stripped of as much as could be removed, but burned over an immense stock of goods. Much of that which was removed to the Times green alfalfa field was destroyed and had it not been for the brave work of several men in lighting the fire from the walks, walls and roof, the building would have been razed, as would also Morris Bros.' ollice across the street, and possibly the balance of the town. ', The Maupin Drug store and all residences adjacent the devastated section experienced an evacuation of contents, that meant loss, and considerable time to return to place. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Cunning ham and Wm, Ileckrnan saved their little cottages only by desperate effort, and experienc ed some loss of clothing, etc. J''irey particles carried by the wind kept all in the southwest part oi town fighting with, the water supply that was available to save their homes, some even carrying water from the spring. In fact it was stated by residents of. the flat - that partideiu-of burned shingles, etc. were car ried by the wind to the timber Hue west of here. The, entire devastation took place in a little less than two hours. One very remarkable feature of the days' disaster is the marvelous salvation of the L. C Wilhalm resilience which stands between Cyr's and the Bank, both of which were destroyed. It took much work to preserve it, but Mr. and Mrs. Wilhelm are rejoicing that they arc still in possesion of their home, the insurance on which had lapsed a few days prior to the lire Practically all losses were part ly covered by insurance exeppt the Ilntp and Jory buiblintrs owned by Mr. Cook, and F.

This will enable them to 'more quickly arrange for replacing the lost goods and put before you at your convenience more of the supplies in demand. R.

The Maupin Stale Bank lot t only Saturday afternoon from their regular work and were opened for regular business on Monday morning in the I. U. 0. F. hall. It is a pleasure to know that this concern balanced their books to a cent early Sunday I morning, proving ths thorough ne83 of the preservation of their records. Around Maupin H. R.
