CHENEY HOME WALLOPS WEBER Sunday morning, fire completely destroyed the home of Frank Cheney at the Cement to the report, Mr. Cheney arose and made a fire and in so doing he loosened the pipe from the flue in the wall. He went out to do his chores and the fire in the stove blazed up and ignited the ceiling. The building was a frame structure and soon was a mass of flames. The children in bed, barely had time to make their escape in their night clothes and nothing was saved scarcely, even the clothing being conMr. sumed.

The formal transfer will come when the Fruit Growers get their claim fixed out and the money is paid over by the city wards, This move has. met with spontaneous approval- Especially have the sentiments of the young people been in hearty commendation with the expressed hope that the plans, as announced in the last issue of the News, may be carried out- No definite action has as yet been taken by the church authorities as to just what kind ot a building shall be erected on the old corner but the idea of a modern theatre or opera house, one that will meet the needs of this community for years to come, and one that will properly reflect the esthetic sense of the community, is the only kind of a structure that has been discussed at all. The building would be equipped with a spacious dance hall on the second floor and a complete gymnasium, with a swimming pool, in the basement- In speaking his feeling to the proposition, one man declared he i3 ready prominent to work on a committe to raise the funds a swell as contribute in any sum that may be apportioned to him- Numerous young men, especially the younger business men, have expressed themselves as unqualified for the combined building the only fear they have expressed being that the thing sounds too good to he true: There will he morelto report, doubt less, within the next week.

Postmaster E- M- Tyson reports that some individuals, of very low moral character, have repeatedly committed acts of indecency in the lobby of the Federal building in which that beautiful room has been disgracefully befouledThese acts of vandalism have been committed during the night and were discovered the following morning when the custodian came to sweep up $nd get things ready for the day. The most recent experience was sometime during Sunday night and the postmaster asks the News to say that people who have no sense of decency to restrain them from such practices, might with profit remember that to desecrate Federal property is a serious matter and when Uncle Sam lays his hands upon a law breaker all sentiment is relegated to the realm of oblivion while stern and unyielding justice is meted out. The postmaster could easily prevent a repetition of this practice by locking the outside doors to the lobby when the office closes for the night but such a course would greatly inconvenience the business interests and private box owners who have mall to deposit after hours and who come for their mail after the days work is ended- The low grade individual who thinks he is doing something smart by these acts of depravity may get caught at it and if he is there will be something doing, j to use the common vernacular equently have Individ u,Lghdb to the lobby passed the nighrW,8 uniawfv Post Office, whichjjy jj, self.

The first half ended 12-- 3 favor ot Box Elder and in the second session Coach Twitchell gave V. Watkins, S. Pett and Croach a chance to exercise their joints and they held down their all-bu- various stations very satisfactorily. Two field baskets was all that Weber could land, one in each half and both were made by Phil Jeppson. Critch-lothrew three fouls out of six tries and that was the extent of the scoring for the visitors. w For Box Elder, Preston Watkins ramped around like he owned the whole place. Five field baskets and three fouls out of four tries was all that Pres, could accumulate, making a total ot 13 points. Grant Pett had his weathe? eye' and right arm in good working order too, and shot , three goals from the field for a total of 6 points. Mel Watkins and Bill Morrison got in the scoring with two and one each. Following is the line-u- p and sum- mary: Box Elder, FdG. FIT. FIG.
