burg Tie alarm was speedily telephoned
10 town ind in short time a number Of citi-
zcns were on their way to the scene Of de-
struction. Although the fire was discovered
before much progress has been made, yet
owing to the extreme drouth prevailing, and
the compact condition Of the lumber piles,
the few hands present could do nothing to
stay the rapid progress Of the flames As
additional help came to hand II was evident
that nothing could be done to save the large
body oflumber, rs the fire had been kindled at
both ends of the yard, and the roaring hamos
ON both sides. were fast consuming the piles
of valuable but highly inilamable material
between them. Several lumber trucks were
secured and IA many men as could WORK NJ
them. removed some Of the lumber to safe
distance, until driven away by the flames A
portion of the iron tuok rail were also torn
mn and removed out OF danger OF the large
lot of lumber, upwards of twelve million
feet, only about two hundred thousand feet
were saved. In connection with this loss at
least one thousand yards of tram-road, laid
with iron rail, was also destroyed. Mr. Holt
estimates his lose al 100000, on which poll
cies of insurance cover to the extent of Sl25,-
600. Although Mr. IIolts pccuniary loss is
heavy, and the interruption to his general
business serious, yet having his mills intact,

Several large orders for lumber wer getting
in readiness and piled ON the yard ana were
to have been shipped during the next sixty
DAYS Among these was a contract ior
large elevator aguegating over two million
feet. The Ore was evidently the work OF an
incendiary, as no fires in the surrounding
forest were prevailing during the day"
