| 1209 |  | Fire at Blandinsville 1902 This article gives a bit more details and notes that Blandinsville had no fire equipment. "C. A. Fisher lost a building, all of his household goods, and most of his stock of notions. The total loss was from $2.000 ta $2,500 with but $500 insurance....There ls no firefighting appliance in Blandinsville and water ie scarce there. The citizens who hastily assembled could do little, although they worked heroically removing goods from the buildings and carrying water from the few paces obtainable....Only 20 feet west is a dwelling house, owned and occupied by William Fisher. This caught on fire several times but was saved. With the scant means of fighting fire people are marveling that the building still stands." |

| 1211 |  | Fisher hotel fire - The Iola Register, 3 Jan 1890 About eleven o’clock Monday night our people were aroused from sleep by the startling cry of fire, and the large barn of the Pennsylvania hotel was seen to be burning fleecily. Percy Harris and Harry Sleeper were the flrst to observe the fire, and immediately started the alarm. They broke open the main door of the barn and succeed in getting the bus out, but were unable to get the horses and cattle in time to rescue any of them, all the doors being securely locked and the fire already burning with intense heat. By the time a crowd had reached the scene, it was plain that nothing could be done to save the barn or its contents, and all efforts were directed toward protecting neighboring buildings. It was only by the most strenuous and heroic efforts that the Rodman residence and the dwelling house north of it were saved. As it was. a small stable and other out houses belonging to Mr. Apple, of some $100 in value were destroyed. The Fisher barn was full of hay, oats and corn and there were in it besides, three valuable horses, three cows and two calves. All of these poor brutes perished, one horse being rescued alive, but in such a condition that it was mercifully killed at once. There is much sympathy with the well known proprietors of the hotel, whose loss will aggregate about $2,000, without insurance. The origin of the fie is a profound mystery The Fisher sisters say the barn was securely locked in the evening and the lantern had been brought to the house. The conclusion is almost inevitable that it was the careless work of a tramp, or the dastardly deed of an incendiary. |

The departure of the Misses Fisher will be sincerely regretted as they have given Iola a reputation as the best hotel town of its size in the State. It is pleasant to know, however, that the Pennsylvania has fallen into such good hands as Mr. Bennet. This gives assurance that it will be kept up to the same high standard as the past, and that Iola will still have a first class hotel. |

Everybody will be sorry that the Misses Fisher are to leave for they made the Pennsylvania a model hotel, It is a consolation, however, to know that the high standard they have set will be maintained by Mr. Gillihan whose management of the Leland since he took charge of it some months ago has amply demonstrated his ability to run a first class house. As soon as the change is made the Leland will be closed, at least until Mr. Gillihan's lease expires September 1. |

| 1219 |  | Fisher sisters survive Galveston hurricane - The Iola Register, 21 Sep 1900 The Galveston Dispatch to the Kansas City Star this week gives a list of Kansas and Missouri people who survived the storm in that city. In the list of Iola people will be very glad to note the following names: Miss E. Fisher, Nannie A. Fisher, June H. Fisher, Lucy M. Fisher and L. E. Fisher, all of Iola. The Fisher sisters are running a hotel at that place, a large one, and this accounts for their all being safe. (Ed - The hurricane referred to in the article is the Category 4 hurricane that hit Galveston, TX on 8 Sep 1900, killing between 6,000 and 12,000 of the island's 42,00 inhabitants. It remains the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. At the time of the storm the highest point in the city of Galveston was only 8.7 feet (2.7 m) above sea level. The hurricane brought with it a storm surge of over 15 feet (4.6 m) which washed over the entire island destroying all but the most solid structures. As severe as the damage to the city's buildings was, the human toll was even greater. Because of the destruction of the bridges to the mainland and the telegraph lines, no word of the city's destruction was able to reach the mainland.[At 11 a.m. on September 9, one of the few ships at the Galveston wharfs to survive the storm, the Pherabe, arrived in Texas City on the western side of Galveston Bay. It carried six messengers from the city. When they reached the telegraph office in Houston at 3 a.m. on September 10, a short message was sent to Texas Governor Joseph D. Sayers and U.S. President William McKinley: "I have been deputized by the mayor and Citizen's Committee of Galveston to inform you that the city of Galveston is in ruins." Workers set out by rail and ship for the island almost immediately. Rescuers arrived to find the city completely destroyed. Roughly 20% of the island's population had lost their lives, with estimates ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 dead. Most had drowned or been crushed as the waves pounded the debris that had been their homes hours earlier. Many survived the storm itself but died after several days trapped under the wreckage of the city, with rescuers unable to reach them. The rescuers could hear the screams of the survivors as they walked on the debris trying to rescue those they could. A further 30,000 were left homeless. The hotel managed by the Fisher sisters was the famous Tremont House bounded by Tremont, Church, and 24th streets. During the hurricane hundreds took refuge in the hotel. Clara Barton, organizer of the American Red Cross stayed there when she came to Galveston after the storm to assist disaster victims.) |

| 1220 |  | Fisher Sisters to Build - The Iola Register, 31 Dec 1897 Fisher Sisters to Build A New Wing Will be Added to the Pennsylvania Hotel and Other Improvements Made. Major Foust, who is attending to their business here, has just received a letter from the Fisher Sisters, who still own the Pennsylvania hotel property, that as soon a spring opens they want to have the old wing of the hotel torn away and the space filled with a new and up-to-date structure. They will also have a brick sidewalk put down along the entire front of the property and will have other improvements made which will add greatly to the attractiveness and convenience of the hotel. Under the careful management of Mr. J. W. McClure the Pennsylvania is steadily gaining ground, and with the contemplated additions and improvements it will establish its reputation as one of the best equipped and most popular hotels in this part of the State. |

At her death the town home will be sold and divided among the heirs, while the Ralph Foster place will be divided between Ralph Foster and his full sister, Mrs. Nellie Wilson. The remainder of the estate is to be divided equally between the eight children by bis former marriages. The value of the estate was approximate $130,000." (which sound like too large and amount. I suspect the number was supposed to read $13,000 at most. Even that amount would be quite large for a man who was principally just a farmer.) |

Wood, whose father owns the logging operation, was found on a logging road by a fellow worker. According to a reconstruction of the accident, it appeared that the load of logs on the truck had become loosened while the machine was being let down a hill. The logs had swept the cab off the truck, shoving Wood ahead of it. He was found about 15 feet in front of the wrecked truck, his body crushed in the mishap. He was rushed as far as Belfair in a private car, which broke down at the Mason county community. The American Legion ambulance. of Bremerton was summoned and brought the injured man to Bremerton. He died at 12:20, just before the ambulance, driven by Stanley Pearce, reached Olympic hospital." |

| 1244 |  | From Washington Territory 30 Sep 1880 In this letter to the Cloverdale Reveille, Riley relates the story and results of the Hoskinson family's move to Washington Territory. "As I was at one time a resident of your beautiful town, Some at least of your readers may be interested in hearing what we have done since landing at Seattle. W. T. Wife, self and son, first bought 33 acres near Seattle (this would be their first homestead at Smith's Cove - ed.) Cleared ground, dug with mattock, planted seed, fenced the same, and raised splendid garden, enough for ourselves, and quite a lot to sell. Also nearly cleared six acres more, then sold the same at an advance of 200 dollars. Moved to Bainbridge Island, near Port Blakely. Miles took a Soldiers Homestead of 160 acres. Cleared two acres, dug some with mattock & spade, again planted garden, raised enough for home use, and considerable sold besides In the mean time carried lumber from the beach, sixty rods distant (one rod = 16 1/2 feet so a total distance of about 1000 feet), built a dwelling house 16 by 24 feet, one half story high 10 foot shed on all sides, hen house 34 by 30 feet, Woodhouse 14x36 feet, grain house 12X14 feet, two stories high. Slashed and burned about six acres more land. Last spring a year planted, 200 fruit trees, of apple, Pear, Peach. Quince, Plum, Prune, and Cherry, also Currants, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Strawberries, besides many other articles to tedious to mention. Now for the result, so far his season from the eleventh of an acre in strawberries we picked 316 gallons or 37 bushels, sold them at from 40 cents to one dollar per gallon. Sold 20 gallons of raspberries at 50 cents per gallon, while several of our apples pears, plum, and cherry trees produced fruit this season, and the trees are only in their 4th years growth. Many of our strawberries measured six inches round, and our plums five and half to six inches. The sales from garden this season so far exceed 150 dollars and our poultry (white leg-horn) have neted us since January 1st 1880, nearly two hundred dollars more. The assesor, when here in June last valued our homestead at one thousand dollars. When we left Coverdale we had less than five hundred dollars all told, and we have no disposition whatever to want a way from this lovely country." In closing, Riley also makes some very disbarring remarks about the Chinese people in California: "We would gladly have remained in your town, had encouragement been given us instead of Chinese. These are the withering blight of your noble State." |

| 1245 |  | From Washington Territory 7 Jun 1880 Beginning in June 1880, Riley wrote at least letters to the editor on the Cloverdale Reveille, the local newspaper when the Hoskinsons lived in Cloverdale, CA prior to leaving for Washington Territory. In this first letter Riley admonishes a Mr. Wm. Frazier, who wrote disparagingly of the territory in the May 6 edition of the Reveille saying: "If there is no pay in the mines then I would not give & pinch of snuff for the whole country." Riley responds the man doesn't know what he's talking about, suggesting he may "never left his boat....But the mines Will pay, and of this there ie no doubt. Every few days new discoveries of rich Quartz lends are being made in various places. One other fact and the In am done. If the whole country is so utterly worthless why does the Pacific Mail Steamship Company send twice a month those magnificent floating palaces as the "Alaska," "Dacotah," (should read Dakota) "City of Panama," "Chester," and such vessels? Is it merely to gratify the curiosity of a few sight seers who want to look at our "hills, woods and water, and then curse the country and return? Nay verily, each one goes back loaded with wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, fine woods, and numerous other articles too tedious to mention. To any of your citizens who are willing to work, and want a home in a pleasant land, we most emphatically say COME." |

|
| 1246 |  | From Washington Territory 7 Oct 1880 Riley again responds to a to a critique of Washington Territory in the Cloverdale Reveille. Someone named Waite in the Aug 26 edition of the paper apparently wrote: "The winters are cold and frequently causes great loss of stock. There are many there who would like to leave, if they only had the means to get away with &c.," and that the Territory is "overrun with emigrants &c." Hoskinson responds, "I am not aware of a single family that wants to sell out and return, nor do I know of a single farm for sale at any price.," and then proceeds to roll out his copious weather data to refute Waite's argument that the climate is too cold, ending with "Grass grows luxuriantly and remains green the year round." |
