storage ROOM" and the iceman dragged
open a small. thick door through which
his visitors crawled, vainly endeavoring
to peer through the gloom only partially
lighted by the uncertain CLEAN OF
smoking candle which he carried. What
a sudden change of atmosphere! In the
engine room collar and cuffs were the
worst torture Imaginable, while here In
this Arctic chill the newspapermen lonEed
for overcoats. As the eye became ac-
custofned to the darkness, the
storage room presented n scene OF earn
age Half opened boxes of sausages were
partially buried underneath huge sides or
beef; on blood-stained hooks were sus-
pended the livers OF martyred cattle. des-
tined to make bone and sinew for the
American army. Carcasses of veal. as yet
boxes containing fresh and sailed fish. AS
far as the eye could see down the narrow
compartment nothing met the vision but
flesh food. Fifteen tons OF meats re-
posed In this cold room. and the space
was clean and odorless.
Here was the SNOW box or distributor
for the Icy air. and Adam Hunter made
snowballs as he talked. Running over
head were pipes incased in wooden boxes
which carried the compressed air to all
quarters OF the storage chamber.
Forty tons of ice will be shipped for
the troops and our engines will preserve
the meat and furnish ice for the saloon.

until the Garonne reaches Japan, but II

This plant was originally used by the
Garonne when she was an Englishman

carrying 12oo0 mutton carcasses to the
trip. You had better get out now, for you

years has she met with serious accident
This happened In the Red sen, where, ac-
cording to Iceruan Adam Hunters state
ment, she collided with the British ship
and cut her completely in two. In this
meeting the Garonne was somewhat dis
abled and laid up four weeks on the
Arabian coast for repairs.

are much disheartened over the condi-
lions in that district that are not alone
working injury to the fish business. but

Among the Victoria excursionists who
spent the day in the city yesterday was

engaged in salmon packing on the Fra

within the past ten days fully $4,000
worth of fish web has been destroyed by
the strikers. They go out in the night in
small boats and hack the nets to pieces
with knives. The police patrol has been
increased since this vandalism began. but
Is still wholly inadequate. 1t win take
1000 men patroling the river day and
night to AFFORD sufficient protection, and
as the government cannot give any men

"The reports regarding loss of nets by

CONSTRUCTING A STREET.
A Vigorous Kick Going Up From
 Citizens.

The citizens of West Fifth avenue are justly indignant at the obstruc- ton of that thoroughfare by house which is being removed. The honse formerly stood on Fifth, opposite the residence Of Mrs. Atkinson. and is to be placed on West Sixth avenue one block east of the railway. The house is being moved west on Fifth, the contractor intending to go down that thoroughfare until he reaches the place opposite where the house is to be located on Sixth.
 West Fifth avenue is the most pop ular drive in the city, from the fact that it is graveled and the only street which is not dusty.
 The mayor declines to in- terfere. This imposition upon the people should not be allowed.

NEGRO FINED
And an Appeal Taken by His
 Employer.

Jim Frederick, a negro, was fined in the police court this (Tuesday) morning for violating the orders of the health officers in reference to a quarantine.
 Frederick went to the much talked about q uarantined house on West Second avenue and stood at the gate for some time and talked to one of the inmates of the house.
 He was convicted h the police court this morning upon the evil deuce of MT. E. A. Sheppard. and Judge Brown very properly fined him $10.
 MT. A. s. Honnet, the employer of the negro, and who is also a member of the board of health, requested Judge Brown to remit the fine. When the judge refused to do this Mr. Honnet appealed the case to the circuit court.
 The orders of the quarantine off cers should be strictly enforced, and tte police naturally look to the board of health for CO., operation.
