occurred In the state Of Washington,

1889. started in this city today, and
I continuing to rage unabated. Three
or four live ar reported to have beeri
lost. The fire5, has destroyed forty
busln houses Including: both of the
' bank buildings, the Pacific hotel and
Crescent hotel, two Gray Harbor hos
pitals and many residences, Huron,
the principal business street, of the
town, is wiped out entfrely with the
exception of a few buildings. None of
the mills have yet been consumed and
will not, .unless . there should be a
change of wind. The newspaper of
fices escaped. . . :
The total loss up to 1 p. m. is esti
mated at $1,000,000. with possibly one
fifth of that sum covered by insurance.
Both figures are estimates and may be
changed greatly on careful report.
The fire started in the rear of the
Mack building, occupied as a lodging
.house, though its cause is not known.
The wind carried it across the larger
part of the business section and
among Jhe renldences. The town was
composed almost entirely of wooden
structures and nothing .Impeded - the

Aberdeen, Oct. 16. The fire started
in ,the old Mack building on Hum
street, owned by Oscar I Crain, and
has been regarded as a fire trip. ' It
was ; three stories high and occupied
by numerous single men, who cooked
their own meals and were, not over
careful of the oil stoves they used. The
names broke out in a room on the third
floor and the interior of the build'ng
was already seething when the alarm
was! turned In.
From the Mack block the fire snrea.l
to the new hose house and headquar
ters of the fire department. The saloon
next to the engine house was soon
blazing and then the flames jumped
across the alley and soon every bu'ld
