EXCITING BLAZE
STRIKES DEllING
Fire Broke Out in Business
Portion Of the Town
Last Sunday Nieht.

Last Sunday night about 1890
the fire alarm aroused our citi-
zens 10 the fact that a fire had
broken out in their midst. The
blaze, which was first discovered
by Mr.. A. A. Temke, who was
on his way to his law Office in
the City Hall, proved to be in
the old frame building occu-
pied by j, II. Allison's second
hand store on Pine street and
adjoining the DR.. Michael brick
building on the west. On ac-
count of the infammable material
in the building it was soon mass
Of flames and Notwithstanding
the effective and heroic work Of
the fire company and citizens
burned to the ground. Howev-
cr, by reason of the fine work
done and the fact that but little
wind was blowing, the fire was
kept practically at the point it
broke out, although a shed room
Joined to the rear Of the DR..
Michael building was pretty
badly burned and the Headlight
building across the street to the
southwest was ablaze once or
twice by sparks falling on the
roof, but il was quickly put
out. The Graphic Office also
felt a little squeamish. The fire
caused a spectular illumination
and brought out a big proportion
of the towns population, and if a
stiff wind had been blowing from
most any direction, the result
might have been much more
disastrous.
The building was one of the
old landmarks of the town and
belonged to the estate of John
Calvin, recently deceased. II was
insured for $500. and was prob
ably worth double that amount.
J. II. Allison carried $500 in
surance on his stock, estimating
his loss at $3.50. Mrs. Michael ;
loss on building and furniture by
the fire and water is $500. Mrs.
Fulton, who is occupying the
Michael building, had her effects
damaged By water to the amount
of about $40. which, with the
money lost, makes Sl0O. Miss
James succeeded in getting her
millinery stock out of the Mich
ael building without damage.

Worth Observing.

An experience in hog raising ana
hog dying has just taken place near
Ault that may throw some light on
the hog disease question that will be
of value. and it is given here for
that reason. Three farmers there
named respectively Meyer, Plummer
and Turner, live in a row, with
Plummer in between the other two.
Plummer fed his herd of hogs green
Alfalfa and milk all summer. The
other two fed chopped feed and rough
grain. After the wheat was taken
from the fields, the herds of the
three farmers roamed together over
the stumble fields of the three. Now
two of the farmers have lost practic-
ally every hog by the animals dying
from some unknown disease, while
every one of Plummer's hogs are
alive and healthy. 1t is supposed
that the green alfalfa, during warm
weather has put the animals into
healthy condition.

GETS RIGHT OF WAY
Electric Railroad Has Secured
Terminal Facilities Here.

F. o. Olson, who is here in charge
of the financing and construction of
the Greeley & Northern Railway s.
Utility company's line from Greeley
to Idaho Creek, has within the past
week finished securing private right
OF way and terminal facilities In
Greeley for the road. So quietly has
Mr.. Olson been working that 1t was
not until last Friday morning when
he announced that he had secured
what he wanted, that more than two
or three persons In Greeley knew
what Was up. A strip Of land has
been bought, following the west
side of the right of way of the
Union Pacific. from Sixteenth street
to the location of the old gas plant
on Eleventh street. This building
has been leased for two years, and
will be fixed up for Temporary
depot. At the end Of that time the
company has the privilege Of buying
the property.
The grade is already completed as
far as Sixteenth street, aud the
other five blocks were secured so a.
to be absolutely independent of any
city franchise. in case the company

in court, and the company did moi

TIME TO ACETATE.

The agitation for meat and milk
inspection in Greeley, which has
been started in various quarters, is
soe which should not be allowed to
drop without some definite action in
this line. We believe that such In.
spection could be done without any
hardship to dealers. We also be-
lieve that meat and milk dealers
will be willing to cooperate to the
fullest extent in securing the very
bsst supply Of these commodities
possible for Greeley. Once In opera
tion, such an ordinance, or II it be-
came state law. would be a help
rather than detriment to dealers.
Their customers would then be as
sured OF as pure All article as could
be provided by the most sanitary and
hygienic rules. There will be some
burden OF expense, which should not
be laid upon the dealers, but upon
both dealers and consumers. In the
long run. it would undoubtedly be
cheaper than to pay for the effects OF
neglect in this line. Nobody is &C.
cusing local meat or milk dealers OF
being unduly careless in the hand.
ling Of their wares. The supply Of
these articles here is as good as in
any other city OF the country, but
II something can be done to make II
even better, it should be done.
Now that we have what has beer
proven to be the purest supply o
water in the state, other matter
that may be a menace to health
should be taken up. in order tina
this city may become known as tn
most healthful place in the country

HARD ON BURGLAR
New Alarm for His Especial
Benefit.

A demonstration was given at the
Greeley National bank last Monday
afternoon, of . new burglar alarm.
The only drawback to the demon
stration Was the fact that there was
no burglar to alarm. The expert In
charge Of the affair, succeeded In
alarming every ybody else
The new alarm 10 what il called
the automatic double electrical sys-
tenn Of vault protection, installed by

would look Is though the poor, over
worked bank burglar would have n
chance to 90 into retirement. There
seems no way In which he can poesi-i
bly, get into the vault where this
system is In use, without touching
OF several big gongs, any one Of
which would wake up the sleepiest
watchman that ever lived. Any at
tempt to tamper with the gongs or
the vault will start the alarm. Even
the bank cashier cannot get into the
vault, except at respectable banking
hours, without getting into trouble
with the machine. The whole sys--
tenn Is contained in the vault, 80
there are no outside wires the burg
lar can cut nor can he in any way
drill through the vault without start
ing the alarm. Summed up briefly,
the double system means, IF you

II you leave 1t alone the gong will
also ring"

INJUSTICE
IS CLAIMED
NO SPECIAL RATES TO LOS
ANGELES ALLOWED
THEY ARE PERMITTED FOR SAN
FRANCISCO
Railroads Blame Interstate Commerce
Commission and Latter Is Asked
by Local Representatives to
Reconsider Action

On account of what the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce terms an ap-
parent case of unjust discrimination
of the country, relative to railroad
rates to this section during the visit of
Evans fleet, protests have been wired
to both Senator Flint and Representa-
tive McLachlan at Washington, asking
the interstate commerce commission
to reconsider their decision on this
matter.
According to John J. Byrne. traffic
manager of the Santa Fe, the com"
mission has declared the special rates
arranged from the east to Los Angeles
on April and illegal. But the COM
mission has allowed the special rates
to San Francisco for April 25 : and
rs to remian In force.
Traffic Manager Byrne expresses his
regret at not being able to carry out
the original plans for the special rates
to Los Angeles, but lays the blame on
the interstate commerce commission.
1.-THE railroads, both the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe, have in
formed the commission that these rates
were for the benefit of the public, and
not for the corporations themselves" :"
said Secretary Frank Virgins of the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce
yesterday. "And 1t seems to be an un-
just discrimination to let the same
rates prevail in the case of San Fran
cisco and not for Los Angeles.
President George II. Stewart of the
chamber of commerce has wired Flint
tand McLachlan at Washington and r.
Woodland Gates, attorney for the
chamber of commerce, requesting them
to ask the commission to withdraw its
ruling about the southwest and the
special rates. We have asked San
Diego to wire their representatives
also about it,
