CtAN FRANCISCO, May S1.-Two
~ thousand feet of the Nevada grain
~ docks, located at Port Costa on the
bay thirty miles from San Francisco,
where for twenty-five years all the
grain from California for foreign ports
has been loaded, were destroyed by fire

The loss is estimated at more than
81 000,0 Besides at the docks 900 tons
of grain, 100 tons of hops, several cars
laden with wheat and lumber, and the
grader" the large structure where the
grain was graded for shipment, were

The first alarm was given about Q
o'clock. and within forty-fve minutes
the two immense docks, a large ware
house, the big grader" and the dock
and warehouse offices were a mass of
flames, while great clouds of black
smoke rolled over Carquinez straits.
An Intellectual effort was made by the
steamer Apache, playing five streams
on the fire, to prevent the spreading of
the flames before they had communi-
Gated to the second dock.
Engines Kept Busy
Every engine in the railroad yards
was soon scurrying back and forth,
hauling cars out of the path of the
fire.
All but five, loaded with grain and
lumber, were saved.
For a time the big plant of the Asso-
ciated Pipe Line company, with thou

tanks, was in imminent danger, and
