So so. The reason for this difference in
price is said to be scheme on the part
Of the large factories 90 that the fisher

Sawmill Burned,

The Viola In.elligencer says that the
saw mill and hardwood finishing plant
of Stowe Il Barclay caught fire and was
burned to the ground. Several thousand
feet of logs and about 60, 00V feet of saw
ed lumber were in the yard but escaped
owing tc a hi b wind from the south
west which drove the flames from
the lumber piles All the machinery
suffered more or less from heat, but is
not damaged beyond repair Although
it is not definitely known what the loss
will be it is estimated by Mr.. Barclay
at between 5000 and 800.
The mill was owned by Z. E. Stowe
and Howard Barclay, but Mr.. Barclay
was renting Mr.. Stoves nalf of the mill.
The loss falls most heavily on Mr.. Bar
clay who had all his savings invested in
the plant. We cannot saw, at this writ
ing, whether they will rebuild or not.
