At li;30 Tuesday forenoon every wheel in the big mill .waa turn-in- g and the company waa turning out goods for Upele Sams . .array at a record rate.' . In just a few moments, - the- - cry of "lire" rang out and in less than ten minutes every wheel was silent Heroic efforts were of no avail, for the dry, grease- soaked floors and - timbers burned 'like chaff and spread so rap idly that nothing could be done to prevent the destruction of the main buildings.

It is, indeed, with disappointment that we leant that many of the boys in the band made it a practice of 'criticizing Provo wherever they went, and denouncing our hos. pitalily. zSo jnany reports have reached Provo that we believe some explanation is due from Major B. IL Roberts and Bandmaster C J Ilawkins as tu wh themembers of tlie band have, without restraint, done Provo so- much damage. Reports eomitfg to Provjtr from the different towns where were entertained are to the effect that they were' not the ' well boys entertainedjdid. not.receive enough money, etc. Now, per- could have, haps the boys did not carry away all the money they had they themselves done just a little more advance work., Our local committee members received word that the baud -- ; - was coming. Their infemation came in the form of a telegram of the trip and having Tittle and knowing little of time te. advertise, they placed th pnee low and made the' conwas filled to cacert a popular affair.- - The' pacity but the receipts were not what they would have been' had Pro vo been, given the same chance to advertise a? other towns had. - Furthermore there waa nothing .definite about the.. ' arrival of the band and all arrangements for their muddle, not because of any .fault of the local e people, but because the officers; failed to give Provo'any time of arrival. A well arranged schedule of entertainment in fact, had to be called off. When the boya did arrive the eomiuittee did ita best for the short time between the arrival of - tho train and lhe concfrtL..;.r... ..The people of Provo are just aa loyal to the boys as any . as much for them, and we believe other city. and will know facts in the case they, will the that when the boys that they have done the people of this city an injustice.
