From house to house the flames

to huddle, shivering hi scanty

Charles E. Chnpln will attain his
Inst wish to sleep in oblivion be
side the wife he killed twelve years
ng.
Chapin. one-time city editor of
the livening World, died Saturday
night In Sing Sing, after serving
eleven years of a 20-year sentence.
- Chapin shot his wife while she
slept because, he always maintain
ed, he was in financial difficulties
and he loved her too well to seo
her suffer from want.
Good progress Is being made, ac
cording to Halhert S. Deuel, In the
preliminary details and plans for
ttje proposed modern office bulld
Ind to bo erected nt the corner fit
Main nnd liartlett streets. Ban
Francisco Interests aro now draw
ing the plans, and mnklng other
arrangements, which nre necessar
ily slow. However, it Is expected
that if the present plans material
ize, actual construction work will
start In the later winter..
According to Deuel, if the con
struction Is undertaken, It would
take not less than nine months to
complete the building. All con
cerned are anxious to start as soon
as possible to tuke advantage of
the present low cost of building
mnterial. ...
No difficulty has been ex peri.-,
enced, locally, according to Deuel,
in securing tenants, and the plan j
has met with wholehearted sup-1
port from local - businessmen and j
property-owners, .on the grounds '
that such a structure would en- j
hance tho realty values throughout
the entire city.
Tho Deuel building, and the !
county courthouse, will bo the ma- j
jor building projects of the coming
year In southern Oregon, and will !
represent a huge cash outlay. j
