NDHALEM MILL BURNED.
The Loss VIII Foot UP Fully Twenty
Thousand Dollars.


News reached this city yesterday
that the entire plant of the Nehalem
Lumber Co., at Nehalem, together with
lumber valued at $4,000, was destroyed
by fire Sunday morning. Recently the
plant was purchased by Frank Patton
william Roseburg, and C. H. Callen'
dar, Of this city, for the sum OF $4,000
They at once adden new machinery
announcing TO $S,OOO making 1t one OF
the most complete plants on the Pa
cific coast. A few days ago they start
ed up and the first cargo of lumber
was cut and ready to load when fire
destroyed the mill. Mot a dollar OF
insurance was on the mill, consequently
the loss will foot up to fully $4,000.
Mr.. Patton, when seen by am Astorian
reporter yesterday morning said that
1t was scarcely probable that the plant
would be rebuilt The fire caught un-
der the boiler room and was beyond
control before 1t was noticed. 1t is a
hard blow to the owners as they are
all young men, and this was practically
their first venture in a sawmill business
Of their own. They have host OF
friends, however, who hope that the
mill will be rebuilt as the location is
without doubt the best on this part Of
the coast.
Later-Wm. Roseburg and Charles
Callander, two members of the firm
who were operating THE mill, arrived
in the city last evening late, on the
steamer Harrison. Mr.. Callander gives
the following account of the fire:
''The watdhnran had just gone off
duty Sunday morning, and at o'clock
an alarm of fire was given. 1 was
awakened by the cry of fire, and has
tened out just in time to see the whole
building wrapped in sheet of flame.
have never seen a fire spread so rap
idly, and 1t was at once plain that the
mill was doomed. The crowd that
had congregated attempted 10 save
some of the tools, but the heat was
so intense that but little was secured.
1 expected to see the store building go
at any minute, as 1T was only about 300
feet from the mill and the wind car
ried the flames directly over 1t. 1t with
TODD the fury of the heat, however,
and was about the only ching saved.
The boilers are practically in good
and one small engine, but
otherwise, everything Is burned.
I'VE had just got THE mill in good
order, and had been in opera
ton but nine days. One cargo of lum-
ber had been sawed and "a schooner
ordered from San francisco. Our log
ging camps were just getting nicely
started in and we had some fine timber
in the boom. 1t is hardly probable
that the mill will be rebuilt, at least
not this year. The fire originated un-
der the boilers, and had probably been
several days"
A passenger on the Harrison who was
in Nehalem at the time of the fire
states that THE burning of the mill has
given the people of THAT vicinity a
shock that will take a long time to
recover from. There is another mill
going up at Nehalem, but it will not
compare in size and capacity with the
one just destroyed.
The loss will figure up about 500, 900,
With no insurance.

Some of the Chinese merchants in
the city, says the Oregonian, are rails
Ing an uproar over the fact that some
Of their countrymen, who are keeping
stores at Astoria, are sending rice to
Portland and selling It at prices with
which they cannot compete. The duty
on merchhntaIble rice is 1 S-4 cents
pound, but 1t is claimed that in some
way the same quality of rice, mixed
with little flour. is imported at AS
torla, and entered as broken rice only
has to pay a duty of 1-2 Of cent pei
pound When the rice is turned oven
to the owners, the flour is blown out,
and first class article left. The treas
ury officials are now investigating the
little ruse of the Chinese, and it Is
likely that the Celestial drummers of
Astoria who came to Portland and
sold rice cheaper than local merchants
could, win find their occupation gone.

Zimmerman came to Cincinnati fifty years

working business. A few months ago while
down with severe sickness he felt that
death was near, and expressed wish
that when ne was to be put under the
sod his body might be inclosed in coffin
that would keep the remains from decay.
Day before yesterday, when he died, his
family thought of this and were at a loss
what to do until they told their UNDER

by suggesting a coffin made of aluminium.
