CALGARY HAS 100000 FIRE
Pat Burns Packing Plant Is Destroyed
and Fire Still RACES.

Calgary, Alberta.-The packing
plant of p. Burns e 20. was destroyed
by fire Sunday. The loss, including
meat in cold storage, probably will be
in excess of 100000. On account of
the low water pressure the fire de-
partment was unable to do effective
work, and at late hour tonight the
fire still was raging.
The loss is serious because the
plant was the largest of its kind in this
part of Canada and from which all the
western cities, including Vancouver
and Victoria and the Coast cities, drew
largely for their meat supply. The
storage plant contained from $4,000 to
10000 carcasses.
The property was insured, including
the stock in storage, for about $1,000
900.

WASHINGTON'S
PROPOSED HIGHWAY
State Commissioner Makes Report and
recommendations

State Commissioner Makes Report and
recommendations
That $10,000,000 was spent on roads
in the state of Washington during the
past two years is the announcement
made by w. j. Roberts, state highway
commissioner, in his biennial report to
Governor NJ. E. Hay. OF this amount
$SO00,O00 was spent by the state In
the report is published a map showing
present state roads authorized and
projected state highways. One of the
proposed roads extends from Spokane
to Walla Walla entering Whitman
county from the north, then on south
through Pomeroy, through Dayton and
by way OF Waitsburg. Going into
Walla Walla county this is the highway
that is proposed to extend on to Pasco,
thence up to Mabton where it branches
off, one fork going to North Yakima
and the other to Goldendale. Highway
Commissioner Roberts estimates that
$6,O00,000 a year can be saved to the
farmers of this state by the build
of good roads. In his recommendations
he endorsed the Pacific Highway from
Blaine on the Canadian line to Van
couver on the Columbia river and
favors one road across the mountains,
advocating the one from Easton in
Kittitas county to North Bend in King
county.
The Northern Pacific to Aid.
The Northern Pacific railroad has
agreed to help out the construction of
the proposed Pacific highway through
Washington by giving it's abandoned
road bed from Tacoma to Vancouver to
the state. The proposed road will run
from California to British Columbia
along the Pacific coast. 1t will be
built, if at all, under the state road
laws.
