State Bank Department for doing . tramps and general, excitement on Walla Wulla yesterday. He will re." +damage done by the fire. The Chi‘that the fire originated by accident, or perhaps we should say through carelessness. There are many who believe that the fire was caused by au incendiary. In these days of labor questions every fire, no matter where it happens, or how, is a:tributed to incendiarism. At the time of the discovery of the fire on Monday night ail the doors of Shinatown were open and -the first flash of the blaze. was noticed. There could have been no incendiary there who could have made an escape. This isthe epinion of the officers gent of the Chinamen. When the alarm was ‘given the Firemen turned out promptly and soon there were several streams of water pouring on the flames. The Firemen. worked well .and with judgment. But Chinatown was doomed. It was built of pine lumber and the houses were jammed together. Each house was cut into smal! rooms after the Chinese style, and therefore each house was, filled with the best burning lumber in the country, This made the fire intenkely hot; and the water poured on would almost evaporate, and go offin the form of steam, before it would reach the wood that was: actually burning. The compactly built part of Grass Valley, known ae Chinatown, was goon in ashes, and all the efforts made to save it were without avail. It was with great difficulty that the fire was prevented from spreading’ up toward Auburn street. The residences of Meyer Cohn and Dr. Jones were particuiarly in danger. The green trees at the rear of these buildings made a splendid protece tiqn, and did more te prevent the spread of the fire than any other one thing. That fact again furnighes an argument in favor of planting trees along our streeta. Meyer Cohn sustained considerable loss in the way of furniture being damaged by water and by efforts to remove it Dr. Jones sustained: a small loss from the same cause. Thisis no way of estimating the nese population of Grass Valley numbers about three hundred,: and they were pretty much crowded toof their household goods or goda were saved. Some of the merchants had fire-prvof cellars and in these were saved a good amount of provisions. But for such cellars the Chinamen of Grass Valley wowuld havo been sufferers for the want of food. A Union reporter undertook to get the amount of the losses, and his figures, taken from the statements given by the Chinese themselves, show as follows : Dr. Wah Kee, medicines. .$3,000 JossHouse and property thereee ere NE eae ere Shong Kee, merchandise. . Long Hung & Company, merchandine. ..6..ce, 800 Quong On-Heng, merchandise 1,000 Ying Kee, merchandise.. 600 Po King Tong, merchandise: 800 Besides the above there were pu+merous smali losses ot individuals in clothing, jewelry, etc., which brings up the total to$ 16,000 or $17,000. There were thirty houses in Chinatown, belonging to Stone. Baryer and Terrill. ‘The-e were assessed at $3,000, and paid pretty good interest on $5,000,” There was no insur ance on these houses, and tl ¢ loss on their account can fairly be cailed between $3 000 and $5,000. As to the rebuilding of Chinatown nothing has yet. been determined. The site of the ruins is, the: most pleasant in Grasa Valley ; capable of being made into gardens that would delight all residents and all who may visit this place. Wethink the owners of the ground will find it profitable to turn the land into building lots, of good size for American resideats. What a splendid park it would make! Atall events if Chinatown is located in the same place the plan of building thereof will be greatly changed from what pit was before. thus securing better protection.to the whele town iw the here as well as.of the more intelli-{, C Curt s,H Hill , . B Hottinger, gether in the one place. Bat little . _«vent of fire.” Two Chinese houses were being erected on the burned ruins of Chinatown ut Grass Valley yesteraay. On seeing a determination on the part of the Chinamen to rebuild there, a subscription was immediately sturted for the purpose of raising money erough to buy it, and convert the place into a public park. It is thought sufficient money can be raised to doit. The list was headed by M: Byrne. Jr., for $100 and P. Brunstetier $10. ‘HOTEL ARRIVALS. Union Hotel.

State Bank Department for doing . tramps and general, excitement on Walla Wulla yesterday. He will re." +damage done by the fire. The Chi‘that the fire originated by accident, or perhaps we should say through carelessness. There are many who believe that the fire was caused by au incendiary. In these days of labor questions every fire, no matter where it happens, or how, is a:tributed to incendiarism. At the time of the discovery of the fire on Monday night ail the doors of Shinatown were open and -the first flash of the blaze. was noticed. There could have been no incendiary there who could have made an escape. This isthe epinion of the officers gent of the Chinamen. When the alarm was ‘given the Firemen turned out promptly and soon there were several streams of water pouring on the flames. The Firemen. worked well .and with judgment. But Chinatown was doomed. It was built of pine lumber and the houses were jammed together. Each house was cut into smal! rooms after the Chinese style, and therefore each house was, filled with the best burning lumber in the country, This made the fire intenkely hot; and the water poured on would almost evaporate, and go offin the form of steam, before it would reach the wood that was: actually burning. The compactly built part of Grass Valley, known ae Chinatown, was goon in ashes, and all the efforts made to save it were without avail. It was with great difficulty that the fire was prevented from spreading’ up toward Auburn street. The residences of Meyer Cohn and Dr. Jones were particuiarly in danger. The green trees at the rear of these buildings made a splendid protece tiqn, and did more te prevent the spread of the fire than any other one thing. That fact again furnighes an argument in favor of planting trees along our streeta. Meyer Cohn sustained considerable loss in the way of furniture being damaged by water and by efforts to remove it Dr. Jones sustained: a small loss from the same cause. Thisis no way of estimating the nese population of Grass Valley numbers about three hundred,: and

they were pretty much crowded toof their household goods or goda were saved. Some of the merchants had fire-prvof cellars and in these were saved a good amount of provisions. But for such cellars the Chinamen of Grass Valley wowuld havo been sufferers for the want of food. A Union reporter undertook to get the amount of the losses, and his figures, taken from the statements given by the Chinese themselves, show as follows : Dr. Wah Kee, medicines.. .$3,000 JossHouse and property thereee ere NE eae ere Shong Kee, merchandise.. . Long Hung & Company, merchandine. ...6...ce, 800 Quong On-Heng, merchandise 1,000 Ying Kee, merchandise... 600 Po King Tong, merchandise: 800 Besides the above there were pu+merous smali losses ot individuals in clothing, jewelry, etc., which brings up the total to$ 16,000 or $17,000. There were thirty houses in Chinatown, belonging to Stone. Baryer and Terrill. ‘The-e were assessed at $3,000, and paid pretty good interest on $5,000,” There was no insur ance on these houses, and tl ¢ loss on their account can fairly be cailed between $3 000 and $5,000. As to the rebuilding of Chinatown nothing has yet. been determined. The site of the ruins is, the: most pleasant in Grasa Valley ; capable of being made into gardens that would delight all residents and all who may visit this place. Wethink the owners of the ground will find it profitable to turn the land into building lots, of good size for American resideats. What a splendid park it would make! Atall events if Chinatown is located in the same place the plan of building thereof will be greatly changed from what pit was before. thus securing better protection.to the whele town iw the here as well as.of the more intelli-{, C Curt s,H Hill , .

On seeing a determination on the part of the Chinamen to rebuild there, a subscription was immediately sturted for the purpose of raising money erough to buy it, and convert the place into a public park. It is thought sufficient money can be raised to doit. The list was headed by M: Byrne. Jr., for $100 and P. Brunstetier $10. ‘HOTEL ARRIVALS. Union Hotel.
