A Morning Blaze
Wednesday (yesterday) morning just
before 8 o’clock, a fire alarm was
given and it was found that the two
story frame building owned bv Mrs.
A. V. Zink on the street south of the
court house square was in flames.
The fire laddies promptly responded
but the building was reduced to a
a skeleton frame before the fire was
ezsinguished. Luckily, there was
no wind and the weather was mild,
and the fire was kept from spreading
to the adjoining frame buildings.
The lower floor was occupied by the
Fritz Johansen restaurant while the
second story was occupied by a fam
ily named Moore. No casualties re
sulted, but little was saved from the
building in the way of furniture and
appurtenances. There was under
stood to be no insurance. Mrs. Zink
the owner, is at Boring, Oregon.

Romeo Conger, wife and babies, left
last Thursday morning for their fu

time and it was in hopes of benefit
ing her health that they have gone
to that country, as well as for the
benefit of Mr. Gee's poor physical con
dition. There was never a more
royal gentleman than Friend Gee,
who up to a few years since was in
most robust health but later began
to fail and at the present time is
quite enfeebled. No one regrets the
departure of these good families
more than does the writer, and it
will be the earnest hope of their le
gion of friends here that they may
recover the best of health by their
stay in the beautiful valley in south
ern Colorado, and may some time re
turn with the best of benefit derived
by the change.

Tom Burton on the Wing
Our old friend, Tom Burton, writes
us under date of Jan. 18, from Fort
Worth, Texas, and it will be seen
that Tom has been doing some tall
traveling stunts, and perhaps been
innoculated more or less with the
“Wander Lust.” He writes interest
ing as follows: “I thought 1 would
write you and let you know where I
am at pjesent. I left Lyons, Kas.,
Jan. 3, of the present month, going
to Wichita, thence the 6th to Guth
rie, Okl., staid two days, then went
to Gainsville, Texas, where 1 remained
eight days. I arrived at Fort Worth
last night. Thinft i shall leave for
Houston and San Antonia tomorrow
morning. The weather was rather
cold when 1 left Kansas, with lots of
snow. There was not any snow at
Guthrie, but lots of ice. From Guth
rie to the Red River, the country is
rough and rocky, with timber. From
Gainsville to Fort Worth, the country
is mostly prairie, with small streams
and dry creeks, lined with timber
along the banks. Tire land don't look
good to me. There is a great deal of
cotton to pick yet. The weather was
nice yesterday and the day before.
The thermometer went to 66 above,
but it is down to 35 above today, with
the wind in the north. We had a
thundershower this morning. There
is a great deal of spinal meningitis in
Texas and Oklahoma this winter.
The towns in Texas are not so nice
as the towns in Nebraska and Kansas.
They don't keep them as clean. The
cafes and stores are not nice and tiie
streets are dirty.” etc.
George S. Likes Gordon
Our old friend, Gaorge S. Leininger
who some months deserted Loup City
and went into business at Gordon,
this state writes tire following inter
esting letter from his new location:
“I note with interest the letters from
the various Loup Cityans abroad, and
it reminds me that we too are from
Loup City. I find this town and
country up to n^y expectations in
every respect. The town has recent
ly completed an electric lighting plant
system and has also a good water
supply in all parts of town and a
sewer running through the length of
the principal street. We have a large
territory to draw from that an im
mense amount of business is being
done in all mercantile lines—a num
ber of country stores are getting th^ir
supplies from here. Building has not
been as active as I should like to have
seen, owing mainly to the failure of
small grain crop. Corn made a pretty
good yield, but only a small acreage
in corn—in fact we are very near the
edge of the corn belt. Potatoes are
the biggest market crop here this
year, there having been some 200 cars
shipped out of Gordon this season, and
the yield was only fair. The soil
i within a diftance of six to ten miles
from town is of a sandy loam, very
productive and can practically all be
tilled. To the south, a distance of
25 to 60 miles, the country is mainly
stock ranches and is being rapidly
taken up by the “Kinkeaders.” This
will call for building material in the
next few years. Land near town is
worth #20 to #40 per acre and will
stand a great many more settlers
than it now has. We have just had
a very cold spell of weather, the
coldest being 30 degrees minus. It
has moderated since Friday and the
snow is rapidly melting. We are all
quite well at this time, except Don
ald and Forrest are trying to wear
an attack of whooping-cough, but
with Mis. Leininger’s usual good
care they are not suffering to speak
of.”
