COAL CREEK BURNED TO
GROUND ONE YEAR AGO

Yesterday was the first anniversary
Of the burning of Coal Greek. 1t oc-
CURED on June 80, 1907. The fire
started in the ALI Salmon bottlipg
works on Main street and spread
rapidly southwark, taking everything
in its path and destroying 104 build
ings. including every business house
in the city. The fire WAS the most
destructive in the history Of Fremont
C ounty and the miners felt their loss
keenly for months. Most of them
lost everything they possessed. and
hundreds Of dollars in money that
was hiddsp in mattresses. ETC., was
destroyed
The fire broke out in the roof of
the bottling works and the water
pressure In the mains WAS extremely
low, otherwise the town might have
been saved. as even the firemen did
not think for moment that the blaze
would get beyond their control. In
few moments the entire building was
"A mass Of flames. The fire leaped
from one building to another rapidly
and in two hours every building from
the north end OF the town to the
school house and west for three blocks
was taken. Florence rushed to the
scene with supplies. The water sup
ply was short and carload Of water
and part Of car Of food WAS sent
up In the evening on the Rio Grande
road. The estimated loss was over
800. 600.
Since then the town has been part.
ly rebuilt. but there is still evidence
Of the fire. Houses were moved up
from Florence for residences and the
business men were not slow In re-
building. While the camp will prob.
ably never be 40 large again, big
showing has been made In the last
twelve months. which proves beyond
n doubt the push and enterprise pos.
sesscd by the townspeople.

REPORTED ROCK ISLAND
BEHIND ELECTRIC ROAD

A we'll known gentleman this morn.
ing made the statement that the Rock
Island Railroad company Is behind
the projected electric railroad that Is
outlined to be built from this end OF
the state to the eastern part Of Kan
sas. He says that he was given posi-
tive information to this effect about
three weeks ago, but that the Rock
Island is a silent factor in the project.
1t is further said that the Rock Is
land has %. 900. 600 holding III reserve
for the completion Of the railroad
and power projects in case the money
is needed. The Rock Island is not
supposed to figure in the deal at this
time, and their connection up till this
time has been in the dark. This
road. it is said. planned this scheme
year ago but concluded to take up
the matter with the people Of the val
Icy so that they might become inter
ested 1t is figured that II the people
would invest their own money in
tile scheme that they would naturally
feel friendly toward it. more 80 than
If the Rock Island had gone ahead
and completed the road with its own
money.
Believing that the people along the
route would feel that the electric
road would merely be owned by a
large corporation and would treat it
the same as the steam roads, the
theory was advanced that IL every
body throughout the length and
breadth of the valley became inte--
ested personally, that more business
could be secured than otherwise. II
at any time the electric line runs
short of funds, and 1t beginE to look
like it might prove a failure, the
announcement will be made. it Is
said. that the road has been solu to
the Rock Island, while az matter of,
fact the road will be owned by the
Rock Island from the day it is
started.
1t has been known that the Rock
sland has been trying to gain entrance
into the Fremont county coal belt,
