The Blair & Delarm veneer mill was
destroyed by fire last Wednesday forenoon.
The fire was discovered between the engine
room and the main structure and although
the fire department responded promptly
it was impossible to save the buildings and
it was only by the greatest effort that the
surroun ding buildings were kept from
burning. How the fire originated is I'M
determin ed as the power was furnished by
electricity, and the engine room was not in
use. This plant had been in operation for
about two years and at the time OF the fire
had large number OF orders. New
machinery had recently been placed in the
nRiH and this together with q large amount
OF stock was totally destroyed. The plant
was insured for 1880. Messers. Blair
and Delarm are young men full of enter
prise, and it is hoped that they viii con-
do on in
ploying thirty hands and one which New
port can IL afford to lose.
