The Particulars of the Great Fire-List
of the Losses.
ELLENsBURG wv. t., July 6th.-Insur-
ance adJusters are arriving, and this morn
ing there is more activity and life displayed
in the burnt district. The vaults and safes
have cooled sufficiently to permit being
opened and in many instances the con-
tents are found in bad condition.
Snipes d Co., bankers, opened their
vaults this morning and found everything
in good state of preservation. They will
resume business this afternoon in the
Ellensburg National building.
Contractors are making SURVEYS for new
buildings and workmen are buslly engaged
in removing the debris and tearing down
the smoldering walls to give place to SUBJ
stantial brick buildings.
E. P. Caldwell of the ASHER Hotel, the
largest hotel in the city, arrived from Ia
coma and is on the ground. This morning
he contracted for 1000 600 bricks He will
construct large block of eight stories
Floyd d Co. have also contracted for a
large brick block.
John A. Shoudy, one of the heaviest
losers, returned from Olympia this after
noon and will rebuild on more extensive
scale.
The force has been doubled on the Hon.
olulu block; also, on the Motif Hotel,
which will be rushed pending the compile
ton of more substantial buildings.
Business firms are occupying tents, barns,
sheds or anything that can be made avail
able. But one idea is prevalent, that is, to
forget the losses and rebuild the city in a
more solid and substantial manner than
ever. All are bending their energies to.this
end. The city deservedly has reputation
of being one of the most enterprising and
energetic in the Pacific Northwest, and the
citizens are determined to maintain and
deserve it.
There is no doubt the fire was caused by
an incendiary, and officers are investigat-
ing the matter pretty thoroughly. The
theory that the fire originated by Indians
is very much doubted. The tramp theory
is equally doubtful.
The losses are fully up to the first esti-
mates-$2, 600, 000-with the insurance esti-
mated at from $3.50, 900 to 100000. The
adjusters say this will be paid promptly,
and no delay shall occur so far as they can
help.
