$4,000 FIRE TAKES
OLD TOWN PROPERTY
Postoffice and General Store of
B. A. Conrad Destroyed by
the Flames.

Fire which broke out about 1890
O'Clock last night in the postofice and
general store of b. A. Conrad at Yak
ina City destroyed the building and
contents and property valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000. Mr.. and Mrs.
Conrad were on the sound and the
only representative present was the
proprietor's brother Harry Conrad.
The store had closed for the night
and the origin of the fire IL not
known but 1t is supposed to have
originated from defective fue.
Once started the flames gained
rapid Roadway and enveloped the
whole structure very quickly. The
entire stock of merchandise, the
household goods Of the Conrads, who
lived above the store and the belong
ings OF the postoffice were all destroy
cd, nothing being saved from the
flames. Outbuildings caught fire and
were also destroyed. The fire de-
partment from North Yakima was
sought but the lack of fire fighting
facilities convinced Chief Dawson
that it would be useless to take the
city apparatus to the scene OF the
blaze. 1t is understood that the
loss was partially covered by insur-
ance.
JEFF McDanie's was seriously
injured by fall from a ladder while
descending from the second story to
the ground. A bone in his right hand
was broken.

PRESIDENT ASKS RELIEF
FOR INJURED WORKMEN

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-President
Taft today sent special message to
congress urging relief for a number
of workmen injured on the Panama
canal prior to the act of May 80, 1908.
which definitely fixed the compensa-
ion to be allowed employees or grant
ed to their families in case of death.
In his message the president said it
needed no argument to establish tho
obligation the government is under to
provide for relief of employees perma-
nently injured and for families of
those injured or killed through no
fault of their own while engaged in
such hazardous work as that connect
ed with the construction of the canal
He says this obligation is recognized
by the act Of 1908, and it only seems
just that the allowance bemade for
those who We're injured or killed
prior to that date.
