The pressure on the water main«, which had recently l«en mve«tigated. wa.« giHnl at the iM-ginning of the lire, and for that reason the tire wa.« held down to a «mall limit. The origin of the fire, after careful inventigation, tends to «how that it originated from spontaneous combustion from matches kept in a locker underneath the hack bar in the Hotel Buffet. This theory is borne out by the fact that the under side of the locker was burned and charred, while the top of the hack bar was intact. A large hole was burned through the hark bar from underneath, showing charred wish !, which substantiate« the alaive statement that the lire started from Iwlow the hack bar. The matches that were in the locker were a quantity of Jupanese matches, which are known to I h * susceptible to climatic conditions and s|aintaneous combustion. The loss to the Hotel Redmond Bar is estimated at $!>r>nn and to the Hotel Redmond at $.r>iMi, fully covered by insurance. One t h i n g that prevented the lire from spreading from the originating place was the fact that the inside of the Hotel Bar was lined with Beaver Board, and after the tire it was found that tin« taiard had withstood the (lames with remarkable persistency.
