WAREHOUSE NOT 4 FIRE
MENACE, OWNERS DECLARE
Local Row Said to Be Due to Fight
Between Big Oil
Companies.

Fight between two of the big oil
companies, breaking out locally, is
said to have been responsible for
statements made at the regular
meeting of the city council Tuesday
evening, to the effect that the gaso-
line warehouse maintained by the
Olympia Auto Supply company near
Percival's dock on the waterfront is
menace to waterfront property and
the two shipyards.
w. P. Wotten, manager of the
Auto Supply company, says the
warehouse was constructed accord
ing to the specifications of the fire
chief two and half years ago, after
permission for it had been granted
by the council. He further says
that the gasoline is stored in 13O-
pound iron tanks, that only gaso-
line and distillate are stored in the
warehouse, and that none of the big
drums are ever opened, there.
The situation was put before the
council by Councilman Masemore,
but investigation Of the situation by
him since has convinced him, Mana
ger Wotten says, that the warehouse
is not a fire menace, and that the
situation had been misrepresented to
him. The same view is taken by
Councilman Knox and Mayor Mills,
who also looked over the ware
house. Manager Wotten is urging
the councilmen to look into the sit
uation for themselves, being con-
WINGED that If they will they will be
satisfied there is no fire hazard.
The situation is being investigat-
ed by the fire committee and will be
acted upon at the next meeting.

CHAPTER V.
The Mistress of the White King.

That night the Princess Corona
drove homeward-homeward to
where a temporary home had been
made by her in the most elegant
of the many snow-white villas that
face the bright bow of the sunlit
bay.
Nine. la Princesse passed from
her carriage to her own room and
sank down on couch.
Altho only 20 years had passed
over her proud head, the princess
Corona d'Amague had been we'd
ded and been widowed.
The marriage had left no chain
upon her; it had only made her
mistress of wide wealth.
She had never felt touch OF
even passing preference to any one
out of the many who had sought
her. Hence men called her cold;
yet those of her own kin whom
she loved knew that the heart Of
"a summer rose was not sweeter
