DISASTROUS FIRE
LAST SUNDAY MORNING
Fire Damage in Hub Clothing Store Small
Water Damage EnOmOus-Fully
Covered by Insurance

Why have nearly all the fires in Leav-
occurred on Sunday morning2 Last
Sunday added another to the long list
OF Sunday morning blazes, when fire
broke out in the Hub Clothing store.
The alarm sounded between five and
six o'clock, and when the fremen got
there only smoke was issuing from the
building. The doors were broken in
but the smoke was so thick that man
could not stand it for a minute and
all the fremen thought of doing was
to put water into the building, One
party went to the rear end where they
were told the fire originated, and broke
the back door in and threw water into
the building from that side, with the
result that the fire was soon put out.
The water did more damage to the
stock than the fire and smoke. The
stock was valued at approximately
10000, with $10,800 insurance on
the stock and $1,000 on the fixtures.
The basement was occupied by Mccoy
& Richards barber shop. They had
$500 insurance which practically cov-
cred their loss. The building, which
is the property Of o. S. Sampson, was
insured, the damage, which like the
damage to the stock of goods was
caused almost entirely by water. and
may run from one to two thousand
dollars. The insurance adjusters ar
rived Wednesday and are now engaged
in adjusting the loss. The damage to
the stock Of goods and fixtures was
heavy and everything in the building
was thoroughly water soaked. The
stock Of goods was temporarily re-
moved to The Echo building.
The origin Of the fire has not been
determined but is supposed to have
been caused by the dropping of a
cigarette or cigar near the rear end OF
the store.
A fact worth noting in connection
with this and other fires that have oc-
cured here is that this as also the one
of six weeks ago, on May 81, broke
out Sunday morning. The fire of jan
uary "a, 1904, broke out Sunday morn
ing, and the biggest OF all fires that
the town has suffered, in July, 1904,
broke out Sunday morning, and several
others to which we could refer, all
broke out Sunday morning.
Phillip Wolff was quite seriously
injured last Sunday morning while
assisting in taking the hook and ladder
to the scene Of the fire. He, with
others, had taken the truck out OF the
fire house and just at that moment an
auto happened along and he got on the
back OF the machine with a rope at
tached to the truck. When the auto
arrived at the fire in some way Wolf
was jerked off and the hook and ladder
truck passed over his body, cutting his
head and bruising his body all over.
Dr.. Hoxsey attended the man, who
was rendered temporarily unconscious.
Mr.. Wolff runs a cleaning establish
ment and while badly hurt, will prob
ably be able to resume his duties in a
week.

PFSHASTIN MAN HAS
LEG BADLY BROKEN
J. Q. Gilbert Has Leg Badly Broken
While Working on PeShaStin Greek
Other PeShaStin News

While engaged in constructing a
dam across Peshastin creek near the
Ed Phillips place, ]. Q. Gilbert had
the misfortune to have his left leg
broken and badly crushed between the
knee and ankle. The accident oc-
cured about II O'Clock last Saturday
morning. Mr.. Gilbert at the time was
dragging a large log with team of
horses and in some way slipped and
fell, the log passing over his leg. The
injured man was rushed to the Peshas-
tin station and brought TO this city Oh
passenger No. and taken to the Leav-
enworth Hospital. Doctors Judah,
Newcomb and Hoxsey dressed the
wound and as the leg was so badly
crushed, it was thought il would be
necessary to amputate the limb. At
this time however Mr.. Gilbert is doing
nicely and if no complications arise the
attending physicians believe there is a
good chance to save the limb.
While the injury was most painful
one, and Mr.. Gilbert still suffers much
at times, he has shown remarkable
nerve from the first. He is in good
humor most of the time and while in
hopes that he will be able to keep his
leg has made up his mind that if it
must 20 he will smile and make the
best of things. He will in all proba-
bility be laid up for three or four
months.
A number OF men left for the
harvest fields where they will seek en-
ployment.
A number Of Peshastin people at

THE CROP CONDITIONS
IN WENATCHEE VALLEY
]. F. Sugrue, President of the Cashmere
fruitgrOwerS Union Sees Big Crops
and Good Prices

Conditions IN and around my sec
ton are very favorable for this year S
output" said Mr.. Sugrue, president oil
the Cashmere Fruit Growers Union,
when seen at the headquarters OF the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange in Port
land. Development seems to be
about right, and indications, such as
weather and absence Of blight, etc.
seem to point to an increase this year
over last. Possibly about twenty per
cent"
Cashmere lies just about right in
the Wenatchee valley to be the cream
section. It's area stretches from Pc
shastin to Monitor. Soil and weather
conditions are making good all that
has been said about them. Last year
we shipped from this district thirty odd
cars of Skookum' brand apples, which
passed inspection as among the best
ever seen. This year from present
indications, we will ship almost hun
dred or more of this better than fancy
stock"
THE development in this part Of
the country is now nearly at its half as
about 500 OF the orchards have come
into bearing. Another two years will
see an IS 20 crop. II conditions are
met Systematically and plans are made
and carried out along scientific lines
even better market will be created
than exists at this time. This is not
theory but actual fact. The organi-
cation marketing at the present time is
not content with placing this seasons
crop on the market and letting it go at
that, and taking what the next season
may bring forth without preparation.
The constructive building of markets.
is possible and with a definite object in
view. That is the creating Of market
which will remain year after year, and
automatically be receptive to your Of
fering each season. This is what the
agency is accomplishing with its wide
service and active representatives. in all
parts of the world. Cooperation Of
this kind is what the grower needs,
practical cooperation"
In talking of the situation generally
in his locality, Mr.. Sugrue went on to
say that one of the needs today was in
creased facilities such as warehouses
and cold storage plants. A cold stor-
age plant would aid in assembling and
selling the fruit. Cashmere should
have facilities for handling 200 cars in
refrigeration, especially in the case of
early and late shipments.
Harvesting conditions as yet are
better in the valley than elsewhere.
No trouble TO procure pickers and pack
ers though the possibility of these draw
backs later is anticipated. The lack Of
all summer crops to harvest does not
tend to bring floating population but
wages paid have always been from one
to two cents per box higher, therefore
creating bonus"
THE boxes used this year in Cash
mere district are the best that will go
out from the Northwest. Heavier tops
and bottoms will be used showing little
knots. Six-penny nails will be used
instead OF FIVE as heretofore. Alto
gether the shipping will be more eff
cient. The heavier box will arrive at
market without breaking or bruising
the contents" !"
Mr.. Sugrue will visit the Hood River
district before returning to Cashmere.
