would be impossible to secure so

was a business the same as a hard-

financed the same way. Immediately
after the fire, when they enquired ol
me whether I was intending to re-es-
tablish the Star again, they were told
how impossible it would be for me to
do it as I had no money and wasnt
getting any insurance and then at the

ential business men of the town said
that Stevens is well able to handle
this without the support of the town.

Uut I explained at the meeting that 1
did not any one to give me a dol-
lar They asked for a proposition
and it was stated that if the town
would assure me the usual amount ol I
advertising and secure 500 subsenp-
tions-515 to be at $5.00 each, 50 at
$3.00 each, 125 at $2.00 each and 300
at $1.00 each—I would mstaH a better
eauipped plant than was lost by the
fire and I would build a cement block
. building that would be a credit to the
town. Everyone seemed to favor this
proposition and it was remarked, No
one could hardly ask for less, and a
committee was appointed to assist in
the securing of the subscriptions.
Several who were present also volun-
teered their servics toward the con-
struction of the building, one paity
stating that he would donate a whole
week's work. One offered the use of
his truck to haul the outfit.
It was now my move, they had on
ered more than I had asked or even
hoped lor. 1 went at once i quest of
Xing equipment and found where
1 could buy at a bargain, on account
of the death of the owner, an up-to-
