ANOTHER NEW
ENTERPRISE
FOR THEC|TY
switzer Brothers Install One of
the Most Complete Clean
ina Plants in State.

It shows the good faith in ones
town when concern like Switzer
Brothers spend over $4,000 in in
stalling one of the most complete
and up-to-date, cleaning establish
ments to be found anywhere in this
section of the state, II indeed any
where in the entire state.
They have just completed INSTALL
ing new machinery, consisting Of
washers and extractors, by which
It is possible to take out any for
eign substances and at the same
time leave the fabric absolutely un-
injured.
In the rear OF their store store
at 42l North Fifth street in Glen
Elk they have erected splendid
brick building and equipped 1t with
everything in the way Of modern
machinery and up-to-date appliances
with which to render their efforts
more specific in handling the large
amount Of work that is constantly
growing larger.
The main building is about fifteen
feet by twenty-five feet in size, and
is equipped with fire extinguisher
extending around the building on the
inside SO that If fire should by
any means start, they can, by simply
turning q valve. throw the entire
inside Of the building into steam,
thus smothering any fire possible TO
exist. The other equipment consists
of an upright boiler of about ten
horse power and three washers with
a capacity for as many AZ, one hun
bred and fifty suits at one time.
The dlstilling apparatus by which
the used gasoline can be filtered and
rewashed and made perfectly new
again is an interesting piece Of mech
anism. The gasoline is mixed with
steam and sent through coils which
are in cold water condensing the
vapor into water and gasoline, which
is finally separated. The gasoline
is turned into its own talk and the
water carried off in sewer. The
plant is equipped with a complete
Bowser system, by which the gaso-
line is clarified and used over and
over again. This reduces the ex-
pense when the high cost of gaso-
line is considered. The gasoline
tanks, three in number, are buried
beneath the surface of the ground
outside the building and away from
any possibility OF fire. Throughout
the entire construction, every pre-
caution has been taken 10 make
fire proof and sanitary.

Another Steamer and a Num-
Der of Smaller Craft Also
Partly Burned There.
SAID TO Be INceNDIARY
Some Of the Steamers Loading
with War Munitions and
Gasoline for Russians.
t,,re,Al 70 N. r.LEsnAs,

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The
steamships Bolton Castle and Pacific
and a nine-hundred foot pier be-
longing to the New York Dock Com
pany at the foot of Pioneer street.
Brooklyn, were destroyed early to-
day by the most disastrous fire on
the Brooklyn waterfront in years.
Another steamer the Pallazia, was
damaged, about twenty-five scows
and lighters were partly or wholly
burned and two coolies from the
Bolton Castle and Pacific were miss
ing after the fire. The loss Is es-
timated at more than 100000.
The origin OF the fire is unknown
but suspicious that 1t was incen-
diary were aroused because OF the
fact that some Of the steamers we're
loading with war munitions, some
of which was intended for shipment
to the Russian government and to
be delivered at Vladivostok.
A Waterman aboard the Bolton
Castle discovered that the buildings
on the pier were on fire soon after
l o'clock this morning. The blaze
spread so rapidly that the officers and
crews of the steamers and lighters
lying at the pier, after a vain effort
to prevent the spread of the flames
to their vessels, were compelled
either to leap overheard or to seek
safety aboard other lighters or tugs
which hastened to the rescue.
The Bolton Castle was loading
with gasoline for Russia and this fed
the blaze. The boilers of both the
Bolton Castle and the Pacific blew
up when the fire was at its height
completing the work of destruction.
Several barges loaded with gasoline
lying near the steamer were de-
stroyed.
Later reports placed the estimated
property loss at more than $1,000
900. A statement issued on behalf
of the agents for the owners of'the
steamships Bolton Castle and Pacific
said their Investigation thus far has
hailed to develop any evidence which
lead to the conclusion that the fire
was of incendiary origin"
