Of big work at Palm Beach was IN
building the artistic Everglades Club.
Joshua Cosden was so impressed with
his work there that he commissioned
Miner to build him a villa and to forget
about expenses. That artistic pile Is now
approaching completion.
In the Sale de Fetes Of the Cosden
residence Is magnificent ensemble Of
decorative panels IN gold cameo painted

depict the Adventures Of Sinbad the
Sailor. Before they were placed in posi-
ton In the Cosden residence they were
exhibited at the Wildenstein Galleries in
New York and attracted wide attention.
When William Randolph Hearst decided
this Winter to build a home at Palm
Beach, he commissioned Wilson Miner
to design 1t. Art treasures are now being
gathered In Spain and the Hearst home is
expected to be one Of the most magnificent
ct the famous Winter resort.
Taking the Spanish motif as his back
ground, Miner has evolved an entirely
new style Of architecture, suitable largely
to tropical climates, but distinctively in
dividual. Possibly from it may grow

escaped alive.
Before noon today all of the bodies
will be in the morgue here, it was
said, and funeral arrangements will
then be made.
Identification of the bodies was
proceeding slowly but several had
been identified by relatives, mostly
by particles of clothing, as the bodies

Other fire fighters fell back, the
rangers said, but VanBuren throw
ing his arms over his eyes in an eff
fort to escape the flames, fell down
the canyon-side into the blazing
brush.
A brother of the youth is at home,
suffering from painful burns sus-
tanned a few days ago while fight

cisco. Application for builidng
permit was made to the city corr
ell last night, and the matter was
referred to the city engineer for
approval.
Building operations ON the new
plant, to be erected on the corner
Of New and Main streets, will pro-
badly start Monday when digging
of the foundation will commence.
The plant when finished win have
a capacity output Of about SO tons
of pure raw ice per day and about
90 tons of white ice per day. Fl.
Delno, senior member Of the firm
who is at the Barbara Worth hotel,
stated today that the plant will be
ready about December Is for the
delivery of ice to business houses,
but that delivery Of ice to homes
would not start before next May.
In order to provide his patrons
and cutomers with pure ice, Mr..
Delno contemplates having pure ar
tesian well water from the Goa
chella valley brought here for tho
purpose. He believes that the per
capita consumption of ice in the
Imperial Valley is greater than any
where else in California, and that
it would pay him to import this
well water from the Coachella val
ley.
White Ice Cheaper
Mr.. Delno stated this morning,
that white ice, the kind used in
icing refrigerator cars, can be
manufactured cheaper than raw
pure ice, and that many consider
it just as good for domestic use
as the other. 1t may not appear as
good as the other ice but it can be
put to the same use as the other,
and at a much cheaper rate. After
a careful study of the costs and
manufacture of the ice, Mr.. Delno
has come TO the conclusion that
the probable price of the pure raw
ice, delivered to the consumers
door, will be zoe hundreds IT
some of his patrons prefer to come
and get their own ice,s the price
will Of course be less, and II they
prefer the white ice, the price will
naturally be less.
Mr.. Delno, who has been in the
ice business about 25 years, has
erected seven different ice plants
in the last Is years, and is now
running one at Menlo Park, Cali
fornia, which has capacity Of 90
tons per day. ~ws
Robert Delno, the oldest SON.
will be in charge Of the ice plant
here. Branches will also be es-
tablished at Brawley and Calexico
for the delivery of ice through the
