ENTIRE TOWN
IS THREATENED
Shortage ofWater and lnAam
able Nature of Buildings
Hamper Volunteer Fighters
ORIGIN OF BLAZE is
UNKNOWN TO CITIZENS
Many Who Lost Property Were Alb
sent, Enjoying Walla Walla Cele-
bration, and Ignorant of Dcstruc-
ton of Their Property.

AS a result of a fire that occurred
during the fore part of last night
half the business section of the little
town of Wallula has been wiped out
OF existence. The following are the
establishments that were burned {:
Opera house, two story struc-
ture, owned by the Eagles.
Ice house owned by Sam Ash.
Cherry's pool and. confectionery
store.
The Wallula restaurant.
The Wallula Gateway.
AS to how the fire started definite
news is lacking but reports received
here indicate the Wallula people had
q lively time saving their entire town
from destruction. The buildings were
all of wood and were so inflamable
that they burned like kindling.
All of the buildings burned were
located on the west side of the main
street in Wallula and the fire did not
spread to the structures across the
street.
There is no municipal water plant
In Wallula and the only water avail
able for fire fighting purposes was
lnal from lllt DllNaNt Bitihb Va sam
Ash, keeper of the saloon and owner
of the ice house that was burned. The
Ash saloon is on the east side of the
street and was not burned.
Depot Not Burned.
A report received at Walla Walla
last evening was to the effect that
the depot had also burned. This re-
port was incorrect as the depot was
not in the fire at all. There is but
one depot at Wallula, it serving fol-
both the O.-W, r. & n. and the
Northern Pacific. The depot is un-
der the charge of joint agent
Many Were Away.
At the time of the Wallula conflag-
ration a large part of the town:
population was in Walla Walla at
tending the second day of the fourth
of July celebration Accordingly
there were few men left in the place
TO combat the flames and this fact
accounts in part for the losses sus'
tanned. OF those who were away
when the fire started many returned
on the 1880 train from Walla Walle
and arrived home only to find hall
their town in ashes.

DEEP MYSTERY
+. ON KAIMUkI ROAD

immigration Inspector Brown haS
had many mysteries to deal with but
nothing cquplling that which is now
worrying the minds of the Kaimuhi
people.
At some hour of last night an auto
mobile apparently tried conclusions
with stone wall on the Eva side OF
the road or avenue that runs frcm'
the Waialae road through to Diamond
Head. A cross marks the spot just be-
low the Y. X. Meyers residence occu
pied by the Browns.
From all appearances the stone wall
came off second best. There was con-
siderable debris scattered over the
road and the wonder is that the auto
mobile got out of it alive.
But that is not all of the mystery.
While residents were examining the
wreckage of the wall this morning
lady's comb, gold-tipped and possibly
first cousin to the pink slipper of To-
cal memory, was found. There was
no mark by which the owner might be
found. In addition TO this was door
key a new one. possibly the key to
one of the new houses of Kaimukl.
but not the key to the mystery.
