«/b»Peter H. Loinaz - One of the most popular and successful hotel men of Fresno County is P.H. Loinaz, the genial and accommodating proprietor of the Firebaugh hotel, whose services as a host are appreciated by the traveling public.  A native born on of California, his birth occurred September 9, 1873, in San Francisco, where his father P. Loinaz, settled on coming to the Pacific coast from Spain.  Emigrating from Spain to California about 1856, P. Loinaz was associated with the installment of the first water system in San Francisco.  He subsequently removed to the San Joaquin valley, locating on the west side, where he was successfully engaged in sheep raising for a few years.  Investing his money then in land in Madera County, he improved a valuable ranch, and has since been profitably employed in grain and stock raising, being one of the leading farmers of that section, and a citizen of much prominence and influence.

Spending his earlier years principally in Madera County, P.H. Loinaz was educated under a private instructor, the school system in that then sparsely settled section being primitive and limited, afterwards being graduated from the Chestnutwood Business College in Santa Cruz.  Going then to San Francisco, Mr. Loinaz was for five years bookkeeper in the Palace hotel.   Returning to Madera County, he was for eight years a resident of Berendo, serving the first three years as clerk in a mercantile establishment, and the last five as proprietor of the Berendo hotel. Coming to Firebaugh in 1898, Mr. Loinaz purchased the Firebaugh Hotel, which he has since conducted in a noteworthy manner, winning an extensive and lucrative patronage.  The house is large, attractive, and well arranged, and under the genial management of Mr. Loinaz present to its guest a homelike feeling that is ever appreciated.

Mr. Loinaz married, in Firebaugh, Miss Emilie C. Idiart, who was born and bred in San Francisco, and they have one child, Juanita.  Politically Mr. Loinaz casts his vote in favor of the Republican party.

«/b»Napa, California, Oct. 27 - While coming down the grade between Napa and Monticello today, the brake of a stage gave way, and the horses were soon beyond the control of the driver.  After running about half a mile they went over an embankment.  There was only one passenger, Spencer wilcox, aboard.  He fortunately fell so that the stage cleared him and was uninjured.  Jeff Smeiser, the driver, was badly bruised.  The stage was completely wrecked.
