YAKIMA FRUIT
COLD STORAGE
PLANT BURNS
Fire Cuts Local Warehouse
Last Night; Total Loss Es-
timated at $4,000; Cover
ed by Fire Insurance

The Yakima Fruit and Cold
Storage Company's warehouse on
commission row was virtually con-
sumed by flames last night. AL
though the tile walls of the build
ing are still standing, it has been
so gutted by fire that it is con-
sidered a total loss. The building
and it's contents are valued at $780,
100000. The loss is covered by in
surance.
The addition to the warehouse
on the west end, which houses the
apple grading machinery, was not
entirely burned due to the fact
that there was a tile wall between
the main structure and the wing.
The Kennewick fire department,
under the leadership of Wilmot
Gravenslund, fire chief, endeavored
to save the west wing.
The cracking flames, which were
first noticed at 1895 o'clock, il
Illuminated the sky as they leapt
through the cupola of the building
from what appeared to be a roar
ing furnace. The fire, which was
of unknown origin, apparently
started in the basement of the
building and had gained great
headway before it was noticed.
A meeting of district managers
was being held in the John Dover
office across the street from the
warehouse when one of the men
suddenly noticed the flames as
they burst through the roof. Her
man Schmidt, local manager of the
John Dover Company and Louis
Huntington and Marty Hudnall,
who happened to he passing at the
time of the fire, carried out the
safe and other office equipment.
AS the fire broke through the
roof of the building and leapt into
the heavens, crowds Of people were
attracted by the light. Members of
the cast from can Old-Fashioned
Mother" which was being given
at the First Methodist church, ap-
peared in costumes Of another era,
and many who had been attending
the party at the Masonic temple,
rushed down to the scene of con-
flagation. The flames seemed to
warm the very heavens as they
scared through the great holes in
