Tongues of flame already were

FIRE LOSS AT CHickAShA.
Plant of Farmers Gi1 Company Sus
tsins DAMAGE

Chickasha, Okla, Feb. ID The
plant of the Farmers Cir company
is a mass of cinders. 'wistel rods
and ruined machinery, a. the result
OF a blaze that completely destroyed
the building. 1t was sFiehdldly
equipped plant and the loss is placed
at over $4,000.
The cause of the fire is not dell
nitely fixed, as when discovered by
the night operator at the Frisco
depot, it was a mass OF flames
However, several tramps We're seen
about the place early in the evening
and it is thought possible, OF even
probable. that the fire is the resn!t
of their tenancy of the building.
Two cotton seed houses were saw
ed by the prompt and efficient work
OF the ire-fghters and the engine
and boiler, located in the west end
of the gin building, were in meas
ure saved Outside of a few melted
bushings the engine is said to be in
fair condition, while the boiler, with
a few repairs, may again be used.
The gin was shut down about three
weeks ago, for the season, and the
owner, A. D. Brown, returned at
that time to his home in Anadarko.
The gin stands and other machinery
of the gin proper, are total loss.

An expenditure Of 100000 is be-

Miller, representing what is destined
to be one OF the largest pear orchards
in this state. Mr.. Miller owns large
tract OF bench land at Startup, where
he has already set out fifty acres to
pears and expects to use at least fifty
acres more for the same purpose.
THE Puget Sound country" says Mr..
Miller, rs absolutely free from pear
blight and forms the best land in the
Northwest for the growing Of pears.
AS the timber is vanishing something
must be done to create taxable prop
erty. and logged-off land offers that
opportunity. AS for pears and cher
ries, it cannot be duplicated in any
other section of the country" A large
proportion Of the Miller ranch is fenced
with high wire fencing, necessary to
keep domesticated elk from feeding
on the fruit trees.
