SECOND
TIME
IN
THIRTEEN
MONTHS FIRE HAS BURNED
HOTEL DOWN—$10.000 INSUR­
ANCE CARRIED
(Special to the Headlight)
CLOVERDALE, August 25—The
Cloverdale hotel here was destroyed
by fire this morning about 1 o’clock.
No one seems to know just how the
fire started. It took heroic work to
save almost the entire town, for had
the fire crossed Main street or the
street the bridge is on, there is no
telling when it could have been
checked. W. A. High drug store
front was badly damaged as well as
considerable damage to his entire
stock of goods. The hotel was filled
with guests, only two rooms being
unoccupied. Some of the guests ran
narrow risks in getting out of the
burning building as the fire had a
good start before discovered and the
alarm given. Several lost part ot
their baggage. No furniture and a
very small part of the personal prop­
erry of the proprietor, F. J. Mietzkie
and his family was saved.
It was just thirteen months and
thirteen days since the last big fire
here when Mr. Mietzkie lost the
hotel at that time when it was a
complete lost. At that time he
built the one destroyed this morning.
The building was two and one-half
stories containing 22 rooms and
cost Mr. Mietzke over $16,000 com­
plete furnished. There was $10.000
insurance.
This was a hotel that was a credit
to any town and Cloverdale wt
proud of its hotel, Mr. Meltzke has
not stated whether he would Te-
build.
The local lighting and power
plant, which was taken charge of
in 1914 by C. J. Edwards and as­
sociates. has made great strides in
the eight years under their manage­
ment, At that time the plant con-
sisted of only a small automatic en-
glne and had a small number of con-
sumers. Now there is a 24 hour
service, while at that time the ser-
vice was only night service. Now
there are over twelye hundred con­
sumers of electricity, The plant at
that time generated only 265,655 K

of this year. The smiling counten­

TILLAMOOK BOYS RETURN
HAS ACCEPTED INVITATION TO
ADDRESS CITIZENS—GOV. OL-
COTT WILL NOT COME—FAIR
GROUNDS ABOUT READY.
Word was received from Hon.
Walter M. Pearce, the democratic
nominee for the governorship, that
he would be here on the 14th of
September and would address the
citizens at the fair grounds on the
evening of the 14th. The fair
board sent an invitation to the
governor also but received word
that he would be unable to attend.
A visit to the fair grounds these
days shows a great improvement and
preparations are being made for the
fair.
In the stocK barn a section
ha^ been reserved for the county calf
clubs. Some fifty stalls have been
constructed and it is expected that
all of these will be occupied and
that this division will be one of the
best of the fair.
Another division that gives prom­
ise of being full to capacity is the
poultry division. Last year at the
last moment it was necessary to pro­
vide extra exhibition pens which
made about 200 in all. From all
indications these will all be full.
The cleaning up of the grounds is
