As a result of a fire that occured
during tho fore part of last night
half tho business section of the little
town of Wallula has been wiped out
of existence. The following are the
establishments that were burned: t
Opera house, a two story struc
ture, owned by tho Eagles.
Ice house owned by Earn Ash.
Cherry's pool and. confectionery
tore.
The AVallula restaurant.
The Wallula Gateway.
As to how the fire started definite
news is lacking but reports received
here indicate the Wallula people had
a lively time saving their entire town
from destruction. The buildings were
all of wood and were so Inflamable
that they burned like kindling.
All of tho buildings burned were
located on the west Bide of the main
street in Wallula and the fire did not
spread to the structures across the
street.
There is no municipal water plant
In Wallula and the only water avail
able for fire fighting purposes was
that from the private plant of Sam
Ash, keeper of the saloon and owner
of the Ice house thnt was burned. The
Ash saloon Is on the east side of the
street and was not burned.
Depot Xot liunicd.
A report received at Walla Walla
last evening was to the effect that
the depot had also burned. This re
port was Incorrect as the depot was
not in the fire at all. There Is but
one depot at Wallula, It serving for
both the O.-W. R. & X. and the
Northern Pacific. The depot Is un
der the charge of a Joint agent.
Many Were Away.
At the time of the Wallula conflag
ration a large part of tho town's
population was in Walla Walla at
tending the second day of the fourth
of July celebration. Accordingly
there were few men left in the place
to combat the flames and this fact
accounts in part for the losses sus
tained, (if those who were away
when tho fire started many returned
on the 10:30 tinln from Walla Walla
and arrived home only to find half
their town In ashes.
