FIRE ENTAILS
HEAVY LOSS
DELMoNico NARROWLY ESCAPES
TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
CAUSED BY BURNING GREASE
Kitchen and Contents Go Us in Smoke
Sad Results Of Frying
Oysters.
rom Saturdays Daily Gazette.

T Temporarily the Delmonico restau-
rant is out of commission and Messrs.
Farque & Co. will be unable to do
business until extensive repairs shall
have been made to the place. A fire
that had it's origin in the kitchen at
about 1870 this morning is RESPONSE
BILE for it.
A number of customers were in the
place and the kitchen crew was busy
getting out orders. The cook was
engaged in frying some oysters and
in some unaccountable manner the
grease in the trying pan caught fire
and exploded with the force Of a
charge of powder, filling the room
with a sheet of flames and smoke.
So great was the power exerted by
the explosion that it seemed to blow
the roof off and it was miraculous
that none of the inmates were injur-
ed. Fortunately they managed to
escape, and Joined by the guests in

onto the street.
An alarm Of fire was sounded and
the deparement responded promptly.
By the time of it's arrival the interior
OF the kitchen was a mass of fire and
flames which roared like a furnace
and it was with great difficulty that
the fire was prevented from spread
ing. By hard work i was confined to
the room in which it originated. but
before it could be extinguished the
kitchen and pantry and all they con
tanned were Quilted, nothing being saw
ed.
For a time it seemed that the ad-
joining buildings were also doomed
and the inmates of the Sideboard sa-
loon hurriedly began to empty that
place of it's furniture, stock and fix
lures. Their work, however, proved
to have been unnecessary, as the fire
did not eat it's way through the di-
viding wall and only a little smoke
found it's way into the saloon.
The building to the east did not
fare quite so we'll. The ground floor
is occupied by Vale & Potter and the
second story by the Neel apartment
house, The heat from the fire caused
one of the windows in the second
story to break and the contents OF one
of the rooms were considerably dam

and consequently their loss is total.
Mr.. Parque stated this morning that
he was not prepared to estimate the
amount of damage sustained by his
firm, but thought it would be between
$500 and $1,000. The building occu-
pied by them is owned by H. H. Mund
of Denver and is covered by insur-
ance.
AS soon as the necessary repairs
can be made Parque & Co. will re-

PROPOSAL FOR
WOODEN MILL
OFFER MADE TO ESTABLISH ONE
HERE. I.
TERMS REGARDED AS FAIR
California Man Prepared TO Build I'm
der Certain Conditions
The Plan Proposed.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.

= AOAA : w ~ 1o1a AAASllS
Either through the Indifference of
that body or for some other reason
that has hot been made clear, the
proposal that DR.. w. A. Allen was au-
thorized to lay before the Commercial
committee Of the Billings club some
months ago in regard to the establish
ment OF e wooden mill at this place
~eventuated in any thing more
tangible than a little correspondence
and the matter was permitted to die
out. Not discouraged by his former
failure, the doctor has succeeded in
enlisting the interest of another man
who stands prepared to establish such
a plant here, provided he receives the
assistance he thinks should be given
him.
The latest one to accept the doc
tors view that Billings offers excep-
tional advantages to a plant of the
sort mentioned is a gentleman at
Eureka, Cal. He is thoroughly famil-
lar with the trade conditions of Mon
tanai and the surrounding states, hav-
ing for a number Of years sold wool
en- goods in Montana, Idaho, Wash
trade a mill here could expect to re-
ceive. Unlike some others who have
made offers, the California man, while
he expects and asks material aid,
does not want to hog" matters, but
submits a proposition that he believes
is fair, in that those who are asked to
lend their aid will share with him in
whatever profits may be made. This
is his offer:
He asks for a site, this to be deed
ed free to the company. Next he asks
that the citizens subscribe for so
per cent of the stock, he to take the
remaining half. AS figured out by
him the machinery of such a plant as
would meet the requirements will
cost about $4,000. The size of the
building necessary would be about
60 feet square, two and a half stories
high.
If the mill is built, the doctor says
he has assurance from a st. Paul par
ty that as soon as completed a man
ufacturing establishment for making
boys clothing and mackintoshes will
hn 1oootnd hnro i'm, m nAiotn1v tho nn1v
requirement being that cloth of the
grade and texture needed shall be
turned out by the mill.
AS figured out by the doctor and
others to whom he has spoken on
corning the matter the proposition
of the Californian is eminently fair
All he asks as a gift downright is the
donation of the site for the mill. The
subscription to the stock will be in the
nature of IN investment, as the SUBJ
scribers will share in the profits of the
mill on the same basis as the owner
of the remaining half. In the opinion
of those who have been sounded"
on the matter a better or more liber-
al offer cannot be expected and the
hope has been expressed that some
thing may be done toward securing
acceptance of it. Great Falls will
have a mill and that soon, in time to
begin operations on the next clip, az
the mill will be in operation by June.
If Billings wants to keep pace with
it's enterprising neighbor to the north
the opportunity to do so seems to be
at hand.

BANQUET in a SEWER.

Dinner Served In Novel Style at Wa
terlOO, Ia.
In a huge drain pipe brilliant with
long strings of varicolored electric
lights and banks of gorgeous flowers
delegates to the annual meeting Of the
Iowa League of Municipalities while
in session at Waterloo, Ia, were enter
tanned at an elaborate banquet few
nights ago, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Strains of music floated weird
ly through the long tunnel as the dele
gates dined, and the curving roof flung
back with curious echo the speeches
which brought the banquet to an end.
The sewer banquet" as it was
called was the special feature of this
years convention of the league. 1t
was held in Waterloo's mammoth new
concrete drain pipe, said to be the
largest sewer constructed by any mu
nicipality. Mayor P. ]. Martin, who
presided at the dinner, said that the
sewer banquet idea originated in a joke
made in the council when work on the.
sewer was first started. When the
sewer was nearing completion it was
decided that the scheme was feasible,
and it was determined to carry it out.
The sewer is 1000 feet long and was
built at total cost Of 100000. In it's
construction 100000 feet of material
were used. One block of the sewer
was partitioned off into temporary
banquet hall, in which table 400 feet
long was placed. Around this were
seated many prominent Iowa officials,
who enjoyed the novelty of the affair.
Hundreds of electric lights were strung
through the banquet hail." Beautiful
decorations and music combined to
make the scene one of novel beauty.
The banquet ended with proposals Of
toasts for Waterloo's future prosperity.
