Tie los is estimated a @594oao. A sTstsmatie sea zch wa5 aade fn the ruins at daylight, bu. 1a 61d9es were found.

 Starting in the rear of the, Grotto, cafe in the lower part of the ho- !el, the fire gained rapid headway and in few minutes the flames had | aoed up the. stairways and elevat- or wells to the upper stories.
 Hmployes of the hotel, policemen and firemen, aroused the sleeping euests Many were carried through The flames and smoke filled railways and over the ladders to safety. Sev- eral npen and women escaped by climbing over to t'la roofs of adJoln- lne buildings.
 The fire, escapes were lined with men ara1 women and hastily raised ladders were the means of rescue fer more than a score. Clad only in their night clothes. a majority of the guests received shelter in nearby models. From streets covered with nearly a. foot of slush the fremen fought hard to keep the flames in check as for a time it was feared that not only the entire hotel but tt.. National Lancers Hall and Bu'- finch street fire house adjoining would be destroyed. At the BOW apin hotel and Hotel ReXford, on e.a,,ob bridge street, emoke filled the FOOTE'S and the guests hastily sought refpge in her quarters. The fire was confined, however, to the fe- ypre House annex on Bu]finch street. althougb the main hotel was baoly ,.,,,,od Inv smoke and water.
 Hoseman Kippenberger fell from 65-foot ladder, striking on plcKe' se,,ee Several of his ribs were broken,

IRRIGATIONISTS
BEGIN SESSIONS
Twentieth National Congress Con-
venes in Salt Lake City with
Much Speechmaking.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 3o.-The GNntietn
National Irrigation Congress opened here
to-day In the great Mormon Tabernacle.
The spacious edifice was filed with dele
gates and visitors. Il was In this very
building that the first National Irriga-
tion Congress was held just twenty years
ago.
After a prelude .on the great organ. the
queen of irrigation was introduced, witt;
her maids of honor represented by a fair
Utah belle from every county in the
State.
The congress was called to order By
Maj. Richard w. Young. grandson Of
Brigham Young. who is chairman Of the
executive committee.
There was another selection on the
organ. an ode to irrigation. written and
played by Prof. John J. Mcclellan. after
which Senator Francis G. Newlands was
introduced as president of the congress.
Two happy welcoming speeches were
made by Gov. Spry and Mayor Park,
which were responded to by Senator
Ncwiands
The afternoon session was devoted to
speechmaking by prominent visitors to
the congress and by its former presi-
dents.
1t is probable that the streets of the
Mormon capital have never presented a
livelier picture than to-day. There is a
.{hree-fold interest that has served to
draw TO the city hosts Of people from all
over the intermountain region. In addi-
tion to the Irrigation Congress, there is
the State fair. and Immediately following
the congress the annual conference OF the
Mormon Church will open.
But to-day the congress holds the GEN.
ter of the stage. Tonight the streets of
the city are emblaZoned as never before
with a magnificent street pageant
