A PIONEER BUILDING
Munificient Offer of a Fine Site
by P. II. Lewis.
IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.
Proposed Structure to Contain Histori-
Property OF the Pioneer Association.

At the various meetings and reunions OF the
pioneers of this state the desirability OF having
pioneers building has been discussed. Tho
plan has been to have in some one OF the older
cities a building owned by the Washington
Pioneers Association. Such house could con-
tain the offices of the association, with ample
rooms for the collection of historical Inemen-
toes of all sorts and an historical library. In
time these collections would become SO valuable
that no money price could be set
on them, and should the pioneers
association at present constituted
become extinct. the building could. neverthe-
less, be maintained as public institution and
repository of historical matter. The house
mig ht also be a rendezvous for the old settlers,
for other gatherings than the regular annual
meetings.
Yesterday Charles Prosch, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, was talking over the subject with P
H. Lewis, of Seattle, one of the Washington pio-
neers, and Mr.. Lewis said he would give as a
site for the building proposed lot on the south
west corner OF Madison and Fourth streets
The offer of Mr.. Lewis is a remarkably liberal
one, for the land in question is in the heart OF
the city, easy of access, and is estimated to DO
worth from $12 900 to $4,000. The idea of Mr..
Lewis is that the association can raise enough
more, either by subscription or mortgage, to
erect suitable building Of brick or stone. 1t is
appropriate that Seattle should have the build
ing, as there are more pioneers here than at any
other one place. The structure would give the
state building OF a sort which, though not
uncommon in the older Eastern cities, are rare
in the Northwest, where men have not yet be.
gun to devote fortunes to public monuments
and the like.
Mr.. Lewis is a man well known to the older
residents of Seattle, though recently ill health
has kept him from active participation in the
affairs OF the city. In the early sixties he was
one of the first to take up King county Goa
claims, which he afterward sold to the company
which developed the Newcastle mines He Is
the possessor OF q comfortable fortune

A LAMP WAS LEFT BURNING.
Cause of the Fire in the Zerline Lodg
ing-House.

ing-House.
D. NJ. Holden, proprietor of the Zeriine saloon
which was burned yesterday morning, says he
thinks the fire was caused by small lamp
usually left lighted in closet in the rear. He
locked up at II O'Clock and went home, leaving
the lamp as he had been in the habit OF doing.
Three furnished rooms overhead were occu-
pied by roomers, and they generally carried the
lamp upstairs with them when they went to
bed, though sometimes they neglected to do so.
and it remained burning all night. Monday
night they forgot it, and it evidently caused the
fire. The total loss was probably about $500
and was fully covered by insurance. The out
side walls of the building were not badly dam
aged hut all the stock and fixtures in the saloon.
with the exception OF pool table, were burned,
as was also the furniture in the rooms upstairs.
The insurance on the building was $780, stock
and fixtures 81 300 and furniture up stairs 500.
This placed with the Merchants Insurance
Company and the Springfield Insurance Com
pany, 81, 900 in each. Mr.. Holden says he intends
TO repair the building soon the loss has
been adjusted.
