Pg. 1, col. 2 SNOW HOTEL DAMAGED BY FIRE Fire supposedly caused by a short circuit in the electric wiring, broke out in the Snow Hotel shortly after five o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The townspeople responded to the fire alarm and the flames were quickly gotten under control. Practically all of the contents of the first floor was saved but the contents of the upper story was nearly all destroyed by fire or damaged extensively by water. The upper part of the building is a total loss. It is reported that the loss is only partially covered by insurance. Fire had broken out in the building on the day previous and an alarm was turned in but the fire was extinguished with a small garden hose before the city hose-cart arrived. There was no damage of importance resulting from the first fire, repairs were soon made and precautions taken against a repetition, but these seemed not to find the trouble. Mr. Snow states that the building will be repaired at an early date. The Eatonville Lumber Co. brought up 500 feet of fire hose and a crew of men to fight the fire. The water furnished by the Eatonville Lumber Co., was a great help in getting the flames under control. The mill gives a water pressure of nearly 120 pounds to the square inch while the city water works give a pressure of about 80 pounds to the inch. Before the full pressure of the mill can be realized a valve must be closed in the pipe at the place where the mill water flows into the city pipes, otherwise the mill would be pumping only 80 pounds, the same as the city pressure. Some things are needed by the fire department as disclosed by the hotel blaze. Some ordinary ladders would help and the hoses should have nozzles that allow the water to be turned off at the nozzles. The hose is very hard to handle and turn especially when the fire fighter is standing on a slippery roof, and a swift stream of water in the hose. It must be remembered that when the mill is pumping water into the city pipes that there is no greater volume of water than when the city water is being used alone. The idea is this. The city water is ready for use when the hose is connected at the hydrant and turned on at the hydrant. Then we get 80 pounds pressure. We do not get the Eatonville Lumber Co. pressure of 120 pounds until the city water is shut off above the place where the mill water runs into the city pipes. In case of fire the mill should be notified and then when they have responded to the call for water, someone should shut off the city water. There was some delay in this matter in the Tuesday fire. I take this means of expressing my appreciation of the very commendable work of the Eatonville Fire Department and the towns-people during the recent fire at the Snow Hotel. C. C. Snow. CLEAN-UP WEEK Mayor Bridge has designated the third week of April as Clean-up week, during which time, all citizens of Eatonville are requested to clean up their front and back yards and beautify their buildings. COUNCIL SENDS DELEGATE TO CENTRAL COUNCIL Councilman C. H. Williams has been delegated by the Town Council to represent that body in the central council of Eatonville organizations. This body will hold its next meeting at the Town Hall to-night. E. R. Vaughn made a business trip to Seattle last Monday. Pg. 1, col. 3 COMMUNITY DAY In our issue of last week, we called attention to the temporary organization of delegates from the fraternal societies and other bodies, also, to their action in adopting the plan of the Parent-Teachers Association of asking the local people to devote one day, April 5, to work on the School Park in preparation for the Pierce County convention of the Parent Teachers Association. This is the first request of this central organization in their efforts along the lines of community welfare and, upon the result of this work may hinge their future usefulness. As we go to press, we have no doubt but that many of our people are assembling in the park prepared to do a full day's work for the community at large. We certainly hope that this is true as the effort is deserving of the fullest success. With another such day as was spent in this park two years ago, when our citizens spent a day in pulling and piling the brush, trimming out unsightly trees and in building tables and rustic seats, the park may be made a place of beauty and a pleasure. It may be the site for our Independence Day celebration when all Eatonville and its surrounding people may have a picnic day with band music and patriotic addresses as recommended by President Wilson as the best method of observing the anniversary of our nation's independence. The work of this central organization is of the utmost importance to the community and should have the hearty support of all our people. If you have not been to the park when you get this paper, grab an axe or some other implement of labor and turn to for the afternoon. COUNCIL IMPROVES WATER SYSTEM The Town Council has ordered the installation of an automatic check valve in the water main near the Mashell River bridge. This is for the purpose of shutting off the City water when the pressure from the Eatonville Lumber Company system is in use. It, also, automatically turns on the city water when the pressure from the lumber company plant is discontinued. COUNCILMAN HAS NARROW ESCAPE Last Tuesday evening, while returning from a meeting of the city fathers, Councilman Fairbairn narrowly escaped serious injury when an automobile passed into the gate at the Snow Hotel at high speed and at such close proximity as to brush against his clothing. The driver gave no warning of his approach. DEATH CLAIMS RADOMSKY CHILD Willard, four year old son of George Radomsky died early Wednesday morning of yellow jaundice. Interment took place near the family home at Silver Lake under charge of A. W. Merrow of Eatonville. Mr. Radomsky is at present employed at the mill of the Mashell Shingle Co. JAPANESE INJURED WHILE FIGHTING FIRE K. Miyamoto, a Japanese, was seriously injured when accidentally struck on the head with a fireman's axe at the Snow Hotel fire. He was removed to the Eatonville General hospital where he is on the road to recovery. R. Potter, late of Seattle where he had an important position the work of the U. S. Emergency Fleet Corporation, has upon his return to Eatonville, renewed his membership in the "Anvil Chorus." This organization meets daily in front of the Livery barn.

AS REGARDS OUR SCHOOLS Under the Federal law known as the Smith-Hughes Act, which provides for Federal and State aid to certain schools in extending the work of Vocational Training, home Economics and Agriculture, it is believed that the Eatonville Schools can meet the requirements and an effort is being made to bring about an inspection for this purpose. This law requires that students in these branches must devote, at least, one-half day to one of the above mentioned studies, the remainder of the day to be spent in kindred studies. The work of the School Board, in this matter, is highly commendable and they are now assured of the inspection at an early date. The studies, included above, have heretofore been taught for the sole purpose of enabling the student to find the work which, is, to him, most agreeable so that he may more intelligently choose his life work. Under the new method of teaching these subjects, the public schools will graduate the finished workman ready to take his place in the shop or the fields. By subsidizing the Public Schools, Uncle Sam has set another mile-post in his road to efficiency. Ruth Howard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Howard is recovering from complications, arising from the measles. J. C. Coombs spent Sunday with his family in Eatonville. Pg. 1, col. 6 LETTER FROM HARRY STEERE Mr. N. D.

The letter follows: Dear Friend Dillon: Just a line to thank you for the article on aviation. We are so busy down here that we never get a chance to look up things like that, and we appreciate it when articles of that sort are called to our attention. They are interesting and in our line. The paper you sent me has been read by a great many since it came to me. I am now in charge of one of the testing blocks, we test out all the motors afer they are overhauled in the shops. We have two shifts, run night and day. A motor is put on-all little leaks etc. we have to fix. We test and correct any mistakes in timing of valves and magnetos, run motors at 600 R. P. M. for 4 hours to run in the bearings, then jump her to 1100 for an hour or so, then give her the final one hour test, wide open and she must make anywhere from 1350 to 1500 R. P. M. You can just think how nice it is to stand behind one of those wild cats. The propellers making you cold as ice and the wide open exhausts deafening you. but am learning things about motors that they don't put into books. Am studying now for an exam coming off on the 4th of April. Will make the last and highest rank in the non commissioned line-Master Signal Electrician-that pays $113.00 a month. Am in the best of health and enjoying life and hope that you and Mrs. Dillon are the same. If you can give me any dope on the spruce question it sure will be appreciated. Sincerely Yours, Sgt. H. A.

Greene and Chas. C. Biggs, the main spring, balance wheel, in fact all of the intricate machinery (excepting of course, the devil) that now puts the "tick-tock" into the Eatonville Dispatch. As regards our policy, we expect to make no radical changes at the present. We have no intention of causing any worldwide conflagration with this paper. However, we believe in Eatonville and in the entire Tacoma Eastern territory and we expect to be in the future, just as we have been in the past, consistent boosters fro this district. We will try to make this paper invaluable to the community helping in every way possible to extol our schools, our fine forests, our rich grazing lands and every other like advantage that our community possesses. In return, we expect that the community as a whole will assist us in this work and will make it possible for us to continue it knowing that you are with us at every step. With all due respect to the ability of our predecessor we feel that this paper lacked, somewhat, in ginger. We will endeavor to supply a modicum of this very necessary ingredient. What we at present, lack in experience and ability, we will make up in hard work until we get the experience and ability. We propose to make this paper independent, aggressive and hope to in every way fill the requirements of an ideal country weekly, and we respectfully solicit your aid in this effort as well as your kind indulgence for any mistake due to inexperience. We thank you. Pg. 2, col. 2 WE WANT TO WIN THE WAR When will the American People come to a realization that their Country is at war? Mr. President: The American People have delegated to you full powers. Take what you want. We want to win the war. Boys of eighteen will make good soldiers and men of forty-five have been known to fight. We want to win the war. What do we care about "profits" or "hours of labor." We want to win the war. Tell us what to do and MAKE us do it. We want to win the war. When the AMERICAN PEOPLE come to a realization that their country is at WAR WE WILL WIN THE WAR. IMPORTANT Is your boy at the Front? Or is it the boy next door? Are you competing with the Government for needed supplies? Or are you denying yourself to save the supplies for the BOYS AT THE FRONT? A Thrift Stamp supplies five bullets; a War Savings Stamp, a pair of shoes, or a shirt. When you buy needless things, you rob the Government of the labor used in making those needless things for your selfish gratification, when that labor should be occupied in making the shirts and the shoes for the boys at the Front. Stamps for sale at P. O., Banks, and stores. Cannot go down in price. The Dispatch wishes to say to all who contemplate advertising in the Tacoma Eastern Fair Book, that we are setting this up as rapidly as possible so that we may be able to offer the book complete on the date designated by the Committee. Please get your copy into the office at an early date. Ward Nettleton is confined at the Letterman hospital in San Francisco with inflammatory rheumatism. Messrs.

Pg. 2, bottom half of page all columns ON THE HONOR ROLL THIRD LIBERTY LOAN 150 SUBSCRIBERS IN AND AROUND EATONVILLE The First Seven Days Are Voluntary Days, Let US Raise Our Quota Without Solicitation. ACROSS glorious years of America's freedom stretches the hand of George Washington to lead and inspire the state that so proudly bears his name in the THIRD LOAN FOR LIBERTY. For George Washington's ancestral coat-of-arms, from which America's starry flag was born, is to be the state of Washington's emblem of honor. Every man, woman and child, every home, every house of business and of trade will be privileged to display this shield of honor by pledging full support to the THIRD LIBERTY LOAN in the Honor Days that open the great spring drive. Seven Honor Days are set apart for Pierce county's honor subscribers. Their badge of patriotism and of color will be George Washington's Arms, entwined through all American history with the founding of this land whence freedom sprang. All those who come forward in the first seven inspiring days with the dollars that will make the world a safe place to live in, may feel within themselves the well-springs of duty splendidly done. They may see their names leading Washington's vanguard of patriotism; they may know that the measure they performed in carrying the THIRD LIBERTY LOAN to success will be recorded in the Archives of the United States Government at Washington, D. C. Nor will this honor shield go indiscriminately to all who buy. A man who can and should buy $100,000 worth of freedon's securities and who with smug complaisance would walk with the elect when he has only bought $1000 worth, is a slacker. So is the man who could buy a $100 and take sonly a $50 bond. There is a measure for YOU. There is a fair and just amount that you should subscribe. When you have subscribed that amount, your conscience may be at ease and you may answer to the call of "forward, march" in the ranks of "General Unafraid." What is this measure? You soon will know.

The points scored by Eatonville this year are 387 to 160 for opponents. The high school teams played are Puyallup, Roy, Enumclaw, Carbonado, Buckley, Orting and Fife. The total score for the last five years including both athletic clubs and high school scores is 1339 points to 824 for the opponents. There has never been a boy play on the E. H.
