Once more the people of this village
have reason to be thankful for escape
from general destruction by fire. This
time we lose the saw mill and with it the
employment of the men necessary to run
it. An alarm of fire was given by the
mill whistle az about 1875 p. m, Tues
dav, the eth inst. The fire caught near
the boiler and in a minutes time the
flames burst through the roof Nothing
could have saved the mill, and every
possible effort was made to save the
surrounding property. Fortunately the
wind blew directly toward the pond.
Had it veered for FIVE minutes the entire
fiat would have been cleared of buildiugs.
AS it was the block caught fire several
times, and a small store house opposite
the boarding house was saved with diff
Guilty; this building stood between the
fire and destruction of property on that
side The flames were at last confined
to the mill, dry house and shed and two
or three piles of loose lumber, besides a
car load of dressed lumber which stood
on the siding and could not be moved
The estimated loss i'll round figures is
100000, and insurance $1,000. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has formed no definite plans for
the future of his lumber business here.
NOTES.
Mr.. Fitzgerald desires us to express his
deep gratitude to the whole village peo-
pie for their hard work in saving property
and preventing greater destruction
About all the household goods in the
boarding house were moved and general
preparations made for clearing stores,
| halls, etc. The outlook was so bad that
the Coaticook Fire Department was sent
for and came, but fortunately the fire
was under control when they reached
here; however it was prudent getting
them here. Now, gentlemen, you have
seen another close call and you have
again seen our fire fighting facilities
work. What are you going to do about
| it?
We suggest that petition be sent to
the Selcctmen calling for special town
meeting to devise ways and means to
give us proper protection from fire.
We have a pond in our midst and at
the Gorham fire the Glen Co.'S engine
sucked water through 400 feet of hose
and forced it through 1900 feet more and
did good work. The question is before

the military will be furnished by the Clan
