POST eST FALLS PLANT IS

The mammoth plant Of the Post

company at Post Falls, Idaho, about
10 miles from Spokane, was totally
destroyed by fire this morning, with
loss of 100000, partly insured.
The news was brought to the city
this morning by L. e. Engdahl and
Charles Jasper, general manager and
estimator respectively of the COM
pany.
One of the company's watchmen
discovered the blaze issuing from the
dynamo room and soon all the hands
to the number Of about $50 were
summoned and began the fight which
soon proved hopeless.

The Post Falls plant supplies q
large percentage of the sash, door
and blind business of Spokane, but
its heavier work goes eastward. The
mill employed about $50 men during
the summer season and had only been
running under the lease since
March I.
Defective electric wiring is thought
to have been the cause. The fire
burned until o'clock this morning.
