The house was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ryder and their two children. The entire second floor was burned away and the lower floor gutted by the fire. Only a few household items were saved. The Ryders had lived in the house only about two months. The house was one of the land marks of the Rogue river valley, having been built before the turn of the century. ---------- o---------- Washington School Kawily Wins Over Other Schools for First Place Voi. 13.
