TOWN OF BERLIN IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Everett, May 11.-Berlin, a town
of 200 iuf abitants, situated in the
Cascade MOUNTAINS on the Northern
Pacific line, six miles east of Skykom-
ish, was completely wiped off the map
yesterday by forest fire. AS nearly
as can be learned, no loss of life oc-
Cured, although every building, with
the single exception of barn, and ev-
en- the single household effects which
the people piled in the shallow waters
of the stream, we've destroyed by the
flames.
Men, women and children turned
out to fight the flames, but were hand
icapped by the water facilities which
left them helpless. The buildings van
ished in few minutes. AS the resi-
dents were driven from their homes,
they sought to place their household
goods away from danger in the depths
of the eSkykomishRiver but the flames
destroyed the gouds. When all hope
was lost some 900 people left the m.
lued city and fed to Skykomish.
There is big fire raging at that point
also, but the town peo1Ie believe it
can be kept f1om destroy ing Skykom-
ish.
The property destroyed at Berlin
includes hotel, store, saloon, saw
mill, concentrator and many dwell
ings.
Fire is also reported pear Madison
Hot Springs and another in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Wellington in the
mouth of the tunnel There is almost
an unbroken line of flames from Sky
kcmish to the summit of the Cascades.

Henrotln addressed the Christian
N inlsters at the Grand Pacific hotel
today on tine subject of "Municinal
Suffrage - Miss E. N. M. Nichols. Sec
retary of the woman s Trades Union
league, said that there were $50, 900
wage earning wo men in Chicago who
had displaced men bot were draw ing
lower wages than the men hadldrawn,
and one theory advanced for this was
the lack of suffrage of the women.
"It would seem chat in regard to
the street-car service upon which she
is dependent and about the sanitary
conditions VIII ich govern the shop in
which she works." said Miss Nichols.

corner of Mission street and Yakima
street for $4,000. The property has a
rs foot frontage on Mission street and
is 1870 feet deep. whether Mr.. Stet-
son intends to erect his proposed hotel

outside the fire limits and it is known
that Mr.. Stetson intends erecting a
frame building, it is generals believed
that this will be the site of the new
Stetson hotel. He ras been offered the
lot Just north of the Homer property I,
owned by Mr.. Pate, for $500. MI.
Stetson is now in Seattle and nothing
il known as to his plans for beginning
