Fourth of July, 1904-, a fire completr·ly destrnyed the town of Lake Park, which then consisted of a large hotd, a store and a Catholic Church. A small train, "Old Betsy," which went thrnugh South Tacoma, furnished the connection with the "'outer world." Today the town which grew out of the fire-destroyed Lake Park is an active community called Spanaway, which supports many grncery stores, a variety store, a shoe store, a lumber mill and many other shops. An active community club, although formed only last year with Paul Fread as president, is at present having a drive to buy a resuscitator for tlw community's volunteer fire department. Among their activities will be a dance July 31 at the Elk Plaiu Grange and a smorgasbord at the schoolhouse in September. Spanawa y has a fine grade school with Richard Fraser as principal. As yet, high school pupils ha\'C to travel some distance to attend classes, but an _effort is being made to secure a high school for that district.
