The Big Fire June Z, 1904

On Tuesday morning, June 7, just
about daylight, the biggest and most
destructive fire that Leavenworth ever
had broke out in a frame building ad-
joining the Leavenworth Mercantile
Co. store. At that time there was a
solid block of frame business houses
from where the fire started to the pres
ent site of the Barclay hotel, two or
three being two. story buildings, all oc-
cupied. After consuming everything
in its path on Front street the fire
spread to the Hill hotel, located on the
corner of Eighth and Commercial, val
ued at $1,000, and together with the
contents resulted in loss OF $1,000.
Smith & Tholin were the next heaviest
losers, their loss being $4,000. At
that time the only water with which to
fight fires was carried from the Wenat-
chez river. In this fire the Echo Of
fee caught fire a number of times,
but by heroic work was saved. The
total loss in this fire appropriated
$4,000.

LOWER LIGHTING RATES
FOR LEAVFNWORTH
The Announcement Was Made This Week
That Rates Would be Reduced
About July 1.

Mr.. D. A. Burgett, the general man
ager of the Tumwater Light & Water
Co., told a representative of this paper
that the company had been working on
a new schedule Of lighting rates for the
town of Leavenworth for some time and
would as soon as possible make them
public. About all we are authorized
to say at this time is that the maximum
rate will be reduced from IS to 10
cents per kilowat, with proportional
reduction all along the line. The law
requires that the rates must be filed
with the public service commission in
advance of its going into effect, and
about July / it is believed the public
will get the benefit of lower lighting
rates. We are informed that next
week if nothing intervenes, the new
rates will be given out in full.

.lEAVfNWORTH MERCANTILE co.
IS VISITED BY BURGLARS
Big Department Store is Entered at
Early Hour Sunday MOraing-lOss
Was Small

At an early hour last Sunday morn
ing, probably when the big fire was
burning the fiercest, the Leavenworth
Mercantile Co.'S store was entered and
merchandise to the value Of $40 or $50
carried away. The entrance was made
by way of back window on the groc-
cry side of the store. The glass was
not broken, the window being raised,
and it is the belief of the stores man
ager, o. S. Sampson that the plunderer
was one familiar with the inside of the
building and that he had slipped the
bolt back during business hours. Gus
TONERS are permitted to walk all over
the store unnoticed and it would have
been an easy matter for one contem-
plating robbery to have slipped back
the window bolt. This must have
been the case as Mr.. Sampson states
that the window is always kept locked.
AS near as could be ascertained the
loss consists of one or more suits OF
clothes and several pairs Of shoes.
From the looks Of the shoe department
the thief evidently took his time, try.
ing on several pairs OF shoes until he
had found some that fit.
About year ago this store was
robbed in a similar manner. En-
trance was made at that time by raising
the window, and about the same class
of merchandise was taken, which makes
it look as though the work was done
by local parties.

County Commissioners Inspect Road

The full board of county commits

Wednesday afternoon. While here
Commissioner Gillette paid the Echo a
visit. From him we learned that the
trip up through the valley was made to
inspect some recent work done on the
south side road between here and Pc
shastin, which is said to be in very
good condition, having been widened
at the rock cut. Mr.. Gillette also said
the contract had been let for con-
crete bridge to span the Wenatchee
river at Dryden and the graveling oi
about three miles of road east Of Pc
shastin. He thinks next year it will
be possible to gravel the entire distance
between Leavenworth and Wenatchee.

Id. BOX FACTORY
RUNNING OVER TIME
Commenced MOnday.tO Run Until Nine
O'clock at Night-BOx Orders
are PiIing Up

Commencing the first Of this week
the box factory Of the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co., began running twelve
hours out of twenty-four. The large
demand for strawberry boxes and cherry
boxes with a prospective demand for
peach boxes in the near future is re-
sponsible for lengthening the working
hours.
1t is also expected that the demand
for apple boxes will exceed any year in
the past history of the valley, so that it
is not unreasonable to expect that the
hours in the box factory may be still
further stretched out rather than short
ened for the next three months.
