COMMERCIAL HOTEL DESTROYED BY FIRE
On April 23, during a terrific wind and dust storm, which lasted for three days, and was the worst storm of its kind in the valley in twenty years, fire broke out in the top story of the Commercial Hotel, and seriously threatened the entire busi¬ ness section. The hotel and the P. 0. located in the building, were destroyed, although all the mail, recoras, and fixtures from the P. 0. were saved. Prosser and Sunnyside sent their fire departments and after two hours of hard work, the fire was brought under control. The hotel building erected twelve years ago belonged to N. LeClerc of Spokane, and was leased to Mr. Joe Curzon. The total loss was estimated at $50,000.
