DRY KILN BURNS
AT VENEER PLANT
Originates In Engine House
From Unknown Cause.
born Resistance hut Conquers
the Flames.
LOSS WILL BE ABOUT $4,000

Fire broke out again this morn
Ing at III O'Clock in the plant of the
Paducah Veneer and Lumber .compa-
ny in Mechancsburg. and for the sec
ond time In the last few weeks, wind
saved n great property loss. The Pa
ducah Veneer and Lumber company
is the last mill In Mechanlcsburg on
Mil street and the strong north
wind kept the flames and sparks in
the opposite direction to the other
mills.
The loss will be between $4,000
and $1,000. covered by insurance.
The fire started In the engine house
on the north side OF the dry kiln and
the wind carried the flames to the
dry kiln, which was completely de-
stroyed. That the dry kiln burned
30 quickly was due 10 the fact that
the engine In the engine house could
not be reached to stop the machinery
in the dry kiln.
A peculiar system OF mechanism
IN the dry kiln spread the flames in
the brlefest time all over the build
ing. The hot air 90 dry the veneer
ing is piped into the building at one
end and Is there turned loose. To
distribute II equally over the build
Ing. there Is large fan which forces
the hot air through passages run
ming through the building. When
the fire started. the fan distributed
the flames into every part OF tho
building In a short time.
High pressure on the hose by the
engine from company No. 4. caused
II TO break and stop the flow OF wa
ter for several minutes. but the
break occurred after the fire was
in control. Company No. arrived
at the fire but had no hose. Compa-
ny No. 9, was called 10 the McKin-
ME mill again this morning. TO put
out a ere in the weeds. which start
ed from sparks from the smoldering
sawdust heaps. All its hose was in
use there when the alarm came for
the second Are. Company No. 4 ar
rived In a short time and later COM
pany No. from central station.
II was a nasty and stubborn fire
10 fight and Chief Wood believes
that the wind prevented one OF the
most disastrous fires in the history
of the city. The woods near the mill
caught on fire hut did not burn TO
any extent. The fire got strong
hold in the stacks Of veneering in
the dry kiln and Il required hard
fight 10 suppress il there.
The break in the hose at the en-
gine partly was due to the vibration
Of the hose on the gravel which
wore the hose thin.
There was no fire in the engine
house as the furnace was in anoth-
or part OF the plant,and the origin
of the fire Is unknown.

NEW STRUCTURE
BY THE KENTUCKY
Commercial Club TO Have Its
Home On North Fifth.
Palmer Hotel Company VIII Build
ON South Side of the Theater
Entrance.
TO BE FINISHED BY JANUARY

Plans for structure to adorn the
vacant space on the south side of the
entrance to the Kentucky theater, It
Is said. are nearing completion, and
this fall a building will be erected
for the accommodation of the Padu-
cab Commercial club, by the Palmer
Hotel company.
The lease of the Commercial club
on its building on South Fourth
street, expires with this month and
the organization must seek new
quarters. Temporarily the club will
be located in the traction company's
buildlnS on Broadway, but the Off
GERS expect to get In the new build
ing on Fifth street by January.
The erection of building at that
point will greatly improve the APP
pearance of that block. The hotel
company tore aways the frame cot
tage beside the theater, and 1t has
been the purpose at some future
time to extend the hotel back on
Fifth street, running over the thea
ter entrance. For this reason no per-
manent plans have been made for
building at that point.
Stockholders of the hotel compa-
ny, however, have been talking of
putting up an ornamental, but tenn
porary Office building on the south
side next to the alley. and the needs
of the Commercial; club and this
plan have worked out together. The
only thing that has deferred the
work has been the pressing necessl-
ty of hurrying the hotel improve
ments.
With the Palmer House improved
the stone custom house, the new
Elks building, and the Commercial
club building. and the Fraternity
building showing In the green court
between the custom house and the
Elks' Home. Fifth street between
Broadway and Jefferson street is to
be attractive to the eye.
