Ammonia Pipe Bursted Dur
ing Fire at the Holzapfel
Refrigerator Plant.

Suffocating fumes of ammonia from
bursting pipes in the cooling room of
the Henry Holxapfel refrigerator
plant, ON South Fifth street. coupled
with the probability Of the amonia
tank exploding made the fighting OF
a fierce blaze in the cold storage Sec
ton this morning perilous to the fire.
men. Several of the firmen were
nearly overcame by the ammoniac va
pors.
The fire. originating from electric
light wires, probably was licking its
way through the roof Of the storage
section of the building, when the de-
partment arrived. Chief Ed Miller
planted his men in the very midst of
the flames and within ten minutes had
the blaze controlled. There were
meats stored in the refrigerator worth
about $4,000. being beefs and calves.
In spector Wagner says the meats
are probably ruined from water, smoke
and ammoniac fumes. II this is the
case the loss will be as follows: To
stored meats, about 5000; to Lichten-
fels meat market, about $500; Mitchels
the building, $3.50; to Harry Holzapfel
meat market. $500; Makers meat mar
ket, about $500. and smaller losses =
other meat dealers who slaughter and
store In the Holzapfel plant 1t is
said the loss is entirely covered by in
surance.
The fire had gained tremendous
Roadway when the department arrived
because Of the tinder-like condition
of the building. After the blaze was
put under control an ammonia pipe,
used for cooling the meats bursted,
and the firemen were driven out Of
the building for time. The cooling
apparatus is located in the rear of the
building, from which the fire was kept
by skillful work of Chief Miller's men.
Mayor Zimmerman. who was on the
scene soon after the arrival of the fire
men. praised them for their work. as
did many witnesses. The fire was
spectacular and drew large crowd.

IRRIGATION SUCCESS
In Texas Has Interested
Plenty of Capital.
palladium Specially

San Antonio. Tex. May 1S.-The
success Of irrigation in the Lower Rio
Grande valley has called attention to
the value of Texas streams for irriga-
tion purposes in such an emphatic way
that other streams. some Of the min
the past thought insignificant, will in
the near future be harnessed for irri-
cation purposes. For the past three
years, the Nueces has been damned
In a number of places. and smaller
streams which are dry part of the year
have been equipped to form pools OF
storm water. Just now, activities in ir
rigation in the western part of the
state in the Devils river. Pecos river.
and Van Horn valleys have been be-
gun. It is understood that Ex-Gover-
nor Francis. of Missouri. will. as soon
as he can surround himself with re-
liable aides. begin extensive irrigation
projects in DEVILS river valley. The
tract which it is said Governor Francis
will control lies in Val Verde. Kinney.
and Uvalde counties. II the interest
of this Missouri financier acquires alb
solute control Of the proposition. it will
have stability and success. In the Van
Horn valley. irrigation projects have
been active of late and the indications
are that the successes made in the
past three years in the Lower Rio
Grande and Nueces valleys are to be
repeated in this extreme western part
of the Texas highland. An effort is
making also to construct dam seven
ty feet hight across the Frio river at a
point known as the "Shut-in," and thus
afford a vast body of water for irriga.
ton purposes. In addition to these
developments, a number of greater ir-
rigation plans not yet sufficiently de.
veloped to be exploited are taking
form. From the efforts now on. it ap.
pears that all Texas streams, large
and small, will. in the near future. be
made to contribute to the agricultural
wealth of this state and become prac.
tical both for irrigation and power
purposes.

Navy Departments Wireless
Tower Will Be Forty-fve

esS

The Washington Monument is to lose
its fame as the highest thing in or
about the National Capital. A wireless
tower of structural steel forty-five feet
taller than the Monument is about to
be constructed by the Navy Department
at Arlington Heights. Upon that site the
new wireless tower will stand about LOO
feet higher than the Potomac river.
Two other wireless towers also are
to be built, each 80 feet high. The
tallest is to be 600 feet. So far as the
Navy Department has ascertained. the
6Oo-foot tower will be the tallest in the
world, only excepting the Eiffel tower
in Paris.
The Bureau of Yards and Docks Is
now inviting bids for the construction
of the three towers, and a permanent
brick and terra Gotta building for the
new wireless station. 1t is estimated
that the cost will be s135,O0O. Bids for
the steel towers will be opened June
II, and for the building June % by r.
c. Hollyday, chief of the bureau.
The towers are to be located In the
southwest corner of the Fort Myer
Military Reservation, one of the highest
points about the city, so that the three
steel structures when completed, will
add a notable feature to the LAND
