A crew of eight men are clearing the route for the Pilot Butte De­ velopment Company's flume two miles south of this place. The flume will run for one and one-halt miles along the side of the rivei canon and will then enter the ditch that is to convey it to its des­ tination on the desert. A crew of rock men will shortly be added to the clearing crew and will dispose of projecting boulders. A consid arable portion of the flume will rest on the rock support while the re­ mainder will be held in place by strong timbers. A track will be laid along the flume route for the purpose of conveying material for the structure, as the route is inac­ cessible to teams. Mr. Wiest is in charge of the work. On last Tnursday afternoon at about half past five a fire entirely destroyed the business portion of Halsey only one business house remaining, and that was the gener­ al merchandise store of M. V. Kortz. The cause of the fire is not known but was started in the creamery building in the north portion of town. A strong wind was blowing at the time, and the fire swept everything before it. The Albany fire company brought up their steam engine on a special train and did valuable work. The loss is estimated at $70,000 with but little insurance.
