BURNED
SCORES IN
CHICAGO
BENZINE EXPLOSION IN FURNI-
TURE COMPANY'S BUILDING
RESULTED IN GREAT MORTAL
ITY AND FINANCIAL LOSS.

Chicago, March 25.-Twenty-two
persons are reported dead as the re-
suit of fire which attacked the L..
Fish Furniture company's building
today. About 40 employees escaped.
The exact number of the missing
may not be ascertained for the pres
ent.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the explosion of benzine.
Men, women and girls were at work
on the sixth floor when the explosion
occurred. The flames spread through
out the upper floors almost instan-
taneously. When the girls rushed to
the stairways they found the escape
shut off. One girl jumped from the
window and died in the hospital of
her injuries. The firemen rescued
number of persons on the lower floors
but it is feared many of those on the
upper floors were unable to escape
The financial loss is 100000.
1t is now said that % employees
were on the fifth and sixth floors
While some may have escaped, it is
the belief generally expressed that
all are dead.

DOUGLAS STREET
PARKING
RESIDENTS WANT UNIFORM
IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS LAST
NIGHT.

There was an enthusiastic meeting
of Douglas street residents in the
council chambers last night.
The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the matter of the parking
strip and it was decided to have the
strips seven and one-half feet wide
on either side of the walk. That
would leave six foot walk, and the
sentiment of those present was to
have the trees twenty feet apart and
on the inner strip. The Carolina
Poplar was chosen and a committee
was appointed to confer with all the
residents on the street in an effort to
secure uniformity.
The committee is John Wilson,
Howard Thomas, Ed Russell and Per-
cy Scheble. In some instances other
trees have already been secured but
they can be easily disposed Of
Those present at the meeting were
enthusiastic over their plans for beau
tifying the street.
The same matter is being taken up
by the residents of other streets.
Placing the trees on the inner strips
is a new feature and appears to be
pretty generally endorsed throughout
the city.

RECEPTION At HIGH
SCHOOL
EXERCISES LATER
PROGRAM IN AUDITORIUM
SPEECHES BY MEMBERS OF
THE BOARD.

An informal reception was held at
the high school last night for the
purpose of giving the patrons of the
school an opportunity to meet the
teachers and to appreciate the new
building.
The high school orchestra and the
double quartet took a prominent part
in the program and received some
merited applause.
Superintendent Brown and Messrs
Gellatly, Blake and Battles, of the
school board, made short addresses.
The new auditorium is one of the
finest school halls in the state, but
the acoustics are faulty and the room
will not be success until 1t is fitted
with sounding boards. At the rear
Of the room Mayor Gellatly's clear
enunciation could not be heard by
listening carefully, and the greater
part of Mr.. Browns address was
missed
Mr. Brown spoke on various mat
tiers and dwelt at some length on the
ventilating system of the new build
ing. He stated that the air in the
entire building was changed every
ten minutes. The temperature of
the air is regulated by automatic
means. There Is also an auxiliary
heating system in which radiators are
used. The radiators are placed at
the windows ana are for the purpose
Of warming the air Immediately
around the windows.
One Of the most remarkable state
ments that Mr.. Brown made was that
the high school has more boys than
girls. The opposite is generally the
case.
Mayor Gellatly spoke on athletics
and also on the rapid growth of the
school system. He ventured the
opinion that the high school would
have to be enlarged in the near fu-
ture, although it is larger than oc-
casion calls for now.
The evening was closed with a
basket ball game between the SEN
Tors and the faculty.

HOMES FOR ~ FAMILIES
Wenatchee Orchard, Big 400 Acre Lowell Tract to
Be Marketed in 5, 10 and Is Acre Subdivi-
visions and Homes to Be Furnished
for Many Families

The Wenatchee Orchard tract on
Sunnyslope will be placed on the
market for sale commencing Monday,
March %, by the Red Apple Real
Estate company.
A great deal of publicity has been
given the operations OF the Lowell
Brothers on their tract known as the
Wenatchee Orchard on Sunnyslope
Two years ago this spring these men
arrived here from the east and start
ed work on a very extensive scale
They had 400 acres above the high
line ditch on Sunnyslope. This was
leveled and planted to Jonathan,
Winesap and Spitzenberg apple trees
A great deal of this tract was planted
a year ago last fall and the balance
year ago this spring. The trees
that died were replaced last fall and
the orchard now contains no dead
trees
The owners of this tract did not
realize the vast amount of work that
a 400 acre orchard tract involved,
and have concluded that it means
too much work for them and recently
it was plated into five, ten and fif-
teen acre tracts-43 tracts in all, and
the exclusive sole has been delegated
to the Red Apple Real Estate COM
pany.
This big body of land, with Fl, 900
trees, contains as fine a soil as any
in the Wenatchee valley. The trees
made a magnificent growth last sea-
son and it is watered by pumping
plant, taking water from the high
line canal. The power for the pump
ing is furnished by electricity gen.
Grated at the Valley Power company
plant up the Wenatchee river. Each
tract carries a perfect water right.
The day of large holdings of orchard
land is over and there is a great deal
of satisfaction in the information that
this big tract is to be cut up and
will furnish homes to 43 families.
The terms of sale are very liberal,
ranging in price from $3.50 to $500,
with one-fourth cash down, one
fourth in three years and the balance
in five years with 8 per cent interest
on deferred payments and it is ex-
pected that there will be no difficulty
in disposing of these tracts within
the next 20 days Already there have
been a number who have asked for
reservations, but Mr.. Linville an
nounces that there will be no reser-
vations until Monday, and all will be
given an equal show and the first
come is first served after that date.

Children Give Musicale.

A few or the first and second
grade pupils of Miss Vaughn were
present at a piano recital given yes
terday afternoon. The program was
highly satisfactory as each number
was rendered with much finish and
very noticeable tonal quality. Miss
Vaughn deserves much praise for the
musical development of those who
have been studying with her. A mu-
steal contest was held at which Abel
aide Morey and Gladys Begg were
the most successful and carried away
the prizes. Light refreshments were
served afterward. Those taking part
were: Vera Sterens, Very Huling
Cora Hobson, Mary Saunders, Jessie
Hickman, Grace Hickman, Mildred
Frye, Emile Michel, Adelaide Morey
Minnie Bernheimer, Lillian Lail
Gladys Begg.
