JOHN HOFFMAN LOSES RESI-
DENCE, STORE BUILDING AND
ALL THEIR CONTENTS.
Gasoline Tank Exploded and Pre-
vented the Farm Hands From Sue
cessfuIly Fighting Flames.

A fire originating from some un-
known cause yesterday destroyed the
large residence, the general merchan-
disc store and a number of Outbuild
ings on the John Hoffman farm. en-
failing a loss of about $1,000. Mr.. Hoff-
man and his family were not at home
at the time, being in Portland. The
fire was discovered in the house by
one of the men working on the farm,
who gave the alarm. All of the hands
working for Mr.. Hoffman assembled
and attempted to put out the fire with
the hose that Mr.. Hoffman had on
the place for such emergencies. They
were succeeding we'll in controlling
the flames when gasoline tank ex-
ploded, scattering the burning fluid
to the other buildings. The store
was the next one to go and from it
the flames spread to the ice house
and a number of sheds near by. So
fercely did the fire burn that the
men were compelled to quit and seek
safety from the flames and the burn
ing gasoline.
The loss on the building is estimated
at about $4,000, while the loss on the
stock of goods and household effects is
placed at $4,000. Mr.. Hoffman carried
some insurance on his dwelling house,
but in what amount can not be as
certained.
A telegram was sent to Mr.. Hoffman
in Portland last night informing him
of the fire and he is expected to re-
turn to Walla Walla tonight.

The scheme of the city standing a
part of the expense of paving Fourth
and Elm streets was discussed at
some length last night. The plan
is to apply the revenue from the Ii
cense tax on cabs, hacks, drays. ETC.
Councilman Cox said this morning he
was heartily in favor of the plan
and he believed that a majority of the
hack and truck owners would be in
favor of the scheme. The condition
of Fourth and Elm streets in the WIN
ter months is such that the expense
for repairs to hacks and drays reaches
an enormous amount every year. In
as-mucn as the payments could be
extended over a period of 10 years,
the burden would not be heavy on any
one.
