PROPERTY LOSSES HEW AT TAMPICO OIL INDUSTRY AT MEXICAN PORT SERIOUSLY ENDANGERED IN FIGHTING THERE fire on March 20, the following letter is given to the public: A conservative-estimate of the loss from the fire is $225,000.

There was $80,000 insurance on the building and $20,000 on the furniture. It is practically certain that the entire $100.000 will be paid. The estimate value of property saved, cosisting of books, fuiientlfjc apparatus, desks, chairs, is While the fire was the hottest the faculty met and tool; i i i a steps toward the continuation of the year's work and IE less t)han ttwenty-t'our Hmrs after the building was destroyed classes were as in (Hiur'ers provided in the Court house, the churches and in a few vacant business houses. The property which saved was brought into immediate use and orders are being as rapidly as possible for all necessary additional equipment. The institution was fortunate in having to its credit a few thousand dollars from the last legislative appropriation.

To this amount the students have added a $2.00 book fee each, and the Alumni have undertaken to raise $500, and the public school children teachers of Hartley county have made a small but generous donation. With these resources the school will not seriously '-utter for lack of equipment. Herhaps the most gratifying thing about the situation is the unfaltering loyalty of the students and alumni. Not one left on account of the fire and many have signified their intention to remain through the Bummer. Not least encouraging incident is the fact five students have enrolled since the fire, three of them having -come more than 200 miles.
