FIRE BREAKS OUT IN HATHA.
WAY GRAIN CoMPANY's
STORE AND THREATENS
CITY.
|FIREMEN FIGHT FURIOUS FLAMES.
Entire Grain Store Wiped Away
City Hall Badly Damaged
Heavy Rain Probably
Saves City.

ten, the entire city was alarmed by
incessant ringing OF the fire bell
and the vivid flames which shot heav-
onward In the most central part Of the
business section. The Hathaway
Grain Company's store was in a blaze
which threatened to destroy the sur
rounding structures and wipe out the
business buildings Of the town.
How the flames originated isa mys-
terry, but at ten O'Clock the fire was
discovered smouldering In the build
ing aud at 1915 the flames could be
plainly discerned through the vol
umes Of smoke which filled the inter-
Tor.
A few seconds after the first alarm
several streams were playing upon the
parts OF the doomed building where
the holocaust seemed 10 have gained
the greatest Roadway. IL was imp0s,
sible to see anything as a gale from
the south blew the smoke, In vast vol
umes, toward the north where the
falling rain forced ii close to the
ground and made it exceedingly hard
for the fremen to discern objects more
than a few inches in front of them
At one TINA the sweep OF flame was so
great that the streams evaporated be-
fore they reached the burning struc-
tnre.
Mr.. Hill's residence, just westof the
Hathaway store, was first saved by
the firemen and then they devoted all
their efforts toward the smoking City
Hall.
This morning the City Hall is roof
less and the greater part OF 1t dam
aged by water. The flames In the
cupalo, where the fire bell is located,
blazed still but the remainder OF the
building was not even smoking.
At $3.50 Tuesday morning the cupalC
Of the City Hall fell with a crash ant
several iiremen, in the second story,
narrowly escaped crushing.

The young men had very small capital to
start on and so informed me- They liked
the site [ offered them but when they
learned the price they fell back in despair,
for they could not think Of paying 81 ,60O
as they did not have much more than half
that amount Then [ read the letter of in
PRODUCTION again and was more favorably
impressed, and suggested that they pay
half down and pay the other half some time
in the future. That struck them favorably,
but that could not be done unless they could
get clear deed to the property, as mort
gage would initiate against them getting
the necessary operating machinery from San
Francisco. After thinking for few minutes |
said, while that was out of the ordinary busi-
ness rules yet coming as highly recommend
ed as they did 1 would agree to that. [ took
a note for the balance of my money, and
the brewery work began. Four days before
the note fell due Andrew Heinrich came into
my office with the entire sum and interest
all in big iron dollars, which he had made
out of his venture. His partner did not
stayed by the proposition, and, [ would not
be surprised, if today he is not worth nearly
a million dollars. He is and has been the
same honest Andrew Heinrich through all
these years that he came recommended to
me when but young stripling [ trust he
will enjoy what he has honestly earned on
his European vacation y
''Oh, yes" said an employee Of the Sc
attic Brewing and Mailing Company, An
drew Heinrich has two sons, and they are
given employment about the brewery, but
they are learning the trade from the ground
floor up just as did Mr.. Heinrich They get
their weekly check like the other employees,
and I am told they have to pay their bills
the same as the other fellow. 1t cuts no ice
with them because their father owns large
part of the brewing plant or because their
father is very wealthy. 1t may be theirs
some day, but when it is they will know how
to take care of it. Mr. Heinrich is one Of
the kindest and best men [ ever had any
dealings with, but he insists on getting
square deal from the other fellow the same
as the other fellow expects from him
Want Milk, Not Poison.
A crusade against impure milk has been
started and, as soon as the new ordinance,
which excludes all brands of milk that do
not come up to the prescribed standard, be-
comes a law, good results will follow. 1t
was rather surprising to learn that after a
test was made by the city chemist out of nine
brands Of milk and cream now on the mar
ket only three were found to carry the re-
quired amount Of butter fat. Of these three
brands two were deficient in total solids.

Speaking about high rents in Seattle
Frank Mullen, he of City Council street
committee fame fell into a reminiscent mood
not long since, while he and Kenneth Mack
intosh were pleasantly discussing high rents
in Seattle. ''Well, Kenneth have been do
ing little figuring on this rent business, and
have taken my hotel as a basis. First of all,
let me say [ think my rent for the Abbott
House is exceedingly reasonable in compari-
son to other places being rented for hotel
purposes in Seattle, but, nevertheless, since
[ have been renting the Abbott Hotel | have
paid you SO apiece for every brick that was
used in its original construction That
sounded rather hard to believe, but after
considering for a short time Macintosh
had to admit that Frank was not far off in
his estimate. From the above the reader
will get some idea Of how valuable real es-
tate has grown in Seattle, and how a two
story building, way up on Pike Street"
but "a few years ago, has become a gold
mine within itself in less than twenty years.
Eastern investors think they have done eX-
ceedingly well, if they can realize ten per
cent. on their idle money, but the owner of
the property in question has not only re
ceived ten per cent, but almost ten hun
dred per cent, and yet been reasonable be-
yond an equal in his rental charge. When
the property was being constructed, perhaps,
the owner thought he was taking a long
plunge in the dark, but latter years brought
about the fact that, he really had discovered
the long lost mine" and yet was none the
wiser of that fact

Taboo the Automobiles.
That automobiles are nice things beyond

are some of the places where the automobile
should be forbidden the right to trespass
In the parks, and especially on Sundays, are
always congregated hundreds and thousands
of children, and the chances of them being
run over by autos are ten to one over the
horse and buggy. Even should the child
not be actually run over, it is almost fright
ened out Of its wits by the noiseess gliding
by. The sum and substance of the whole
matter is, it's a most dangerous thing for
automobiles to go shooting through the
parks like a streak of creased lightning
frightening women and children half to
