VANCOUVER BIG,
HAS BIG FIRE

VANCOUVER, b. c., July 20.
One of the most spectacular
fires in the history of the city and
which for a time seemed to
threaten to destroy the entire
business section of the city broke
out shortly after midnight this
morning on Main street and Park
lane. Six important business
blocks were destroyed, involving
loss of half million dollars,
about half covered by insurance.
One fireman was severely In
jured by a fall and many occu-
pants of rooming houses and no
tells in the vicinity had narrow
escapes. The flames originated
in a shed back of the Champion,
a five story building, and is be-
lieved to have passed through
careless handling of matches by
tramps who used 1t for sleeping
purposes. 1t was communicated
to the Champion and White build

completely cutting everything as
1t went. Forty men and women
sleeping In the Royal George ho-
tel, which was scorched and thir-
ty men in the rooming house were
saved at the risk of the lives OF
flremen, and several of them were
overcome by smoke. Six street
cars were burned as well as 20
motor cars in the garage.
The collapse of the Champion
and White building was spectacu-
lar in the extreme and score OF
firemen had narrow escape from
being buried In the ruins.
Hundreds of shivering, half
clad people filled the streets ana
the entire city was aroused. The
flames shot hundreds of feet into
the sky, lumber yard being
among the plants destroyed.

A port commission will have
power to issue bonds beyond the
power of the city at the present
time. Controller Meads says the
city is within $755,928 of it's bond
limit now. But a port commits
sion could issue bonds on the peo-
pie for, $2,571,601.95.
So primarily the port commits
sion proposition is one of how
much the people want to spend.
If the port commission is turn
ed down the city will probably go
ahead and develop the scheme
proposed by A. v. Fawcett and
now urged by Mayor Seymour and
Commissioner Freeland.
1t proposes to buy the N. F.
land across the city waterway.
The company has agreed to sell to
the city at least 40 acres of 1t. 1t
would give the city 5000 feet ad-
ditional wharves. That will be
enough for years to come, says
Irving Bush.
Then 1t is proposed to put a
municipality owned railway
through the land to the wharves
connecting all railways in Tacoma.
The ground inside will be used for
manufacturing. Already several
plants are negotiating with the
city. This proposition would be-
gin to pay the money back at once.
1t is believed the whole thing
can be done for slightly over half
q million.
If the whole scheme was worked
out it would open a water course
with five miles of waterfront.
Irving Bush says it would be too
expensive to contemplate. Wheth-
er Bush is right or whether the
tideflat owners whose property
would be helped are right Is up
to the people to decide.
But the port commission might
not adopt the scheme. If they did
t would have to be submitted to
ne people and the people might
urn it down. Then the people
ould have port commission on
and with nothing for it to do un-
ess it took up the city's scheme.
If the port commission is not
authorized to go ahead and issue
bonds to do big things it will have
nothing to do but levy 2 mills to
run the board.
1t will have power to tax the
people $250,0O0 a year.
1t is not likely 1t would happen,
but there would be no relief If II
did,
There is no recall for the port

CROPS FOR 1918
SHOW A BIG
INCREASE
(By United Press Leased Wire

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, July 20.-Pacif1c
Northwest grain crops for 1912
show a heavy increase in quantity
over the 1911 crops, and are In
excellent condition, says the Port
land Journal today. The wheat
crop for Washington, Idaho and
Oregon shows the greatest in
crease, being estimated at 74,000,-
600 bushels, against 66,750,000
bushels in 1911.
Following is the estimated yield
of wheat for 1912 for the three
states:
Oregon, 24,5O0,000; Washing
ton, 3S,200,000; Idaho. 11,3OO,-
900. Oregon shows the greatest
increase, this years wheat crop be-
Ing greater by 7,75O,O0O bushels
than that of 1911. Washington
crop is heavier by 100000 bush
els than its 1911 yield. Idaho
shows a loss of 100000 bushels
in comparison with the 1911 crop.
The great increase in Oregon is
principally In the central section
of the state.
The barley crop of the Pacific
Northwest for 1912 amounts to
14,8O0,000 bushels, as compared
with IL, ,350, 900 bushels in 1911.
Oats total 30,000,000 bushels
for the Pacific Northwest this year
compared with 2S,500,000 bushels
last year.
The Pacific Northwest's rye
crop for 1912 is 100000 bushels,
compared with 100000 bushels in
1912.

commission.
All these questions and argu-
ments are being gone into now,
and it is up to the people to set
tie the matter by vote July 80.
Municipal Project.
If this project is taken up by
the city 1t will be municipal
project. When It begins to pay
big returns the city will get the
money, which will go to reduce
municipal taxes.
The controller says that while
the bond limit of the city is $751;
|92S. only $345,964 could be util-
lied for this project. That means
the city would have to raise addi-
tional money. The tax levy now
is IL mills. The city is allowed to
tax Is. Add three mills next
year and 1t would raise $4,000,
which added to the $345,964
would make $555,964, which it is
believed will buy the land and get
the improvements we'll under way.
This is the municipal plan.
Everything would be owned by the
city, and the city would get the
benefit.
But If the people want to go
into bigger things right now, the
port commission will be necessary.
The committee of 81 has now
lined up for the port commission.
This committee is determined to
carry out the Bogue plans beyond
the Puyallup by digging great ar
tificial watercourses.
The smallest estimate ever made
for this is $3,000,000.
