HEAVY FIRE LOSS
AT MIDDLEBURY
Green Mountain Pulp Mill Destroyed
Yesterday Afternoon-T Throws
Many Men Out Of Work.

Middlebary, April 20.--0ne of this viii

ployment to 80 or 40 men, was almost
entirely destroyed yesterday afternoon.
when the Green Mountain pulp mill
caught fire. The loss will be from S50,-
600 to 100000 on which an insurance Of
$4,000 was carried, and Manager
Robert CaFtmell is not sure tonight
whether the mill Will be rebuilt or not
The fire caught in the boiler room
where workmen were engaged in blowing
out the boiler. A telephone call was sent
to the chief Of the fire department, G. II.
Rich, who called out the entire force of
fremen The call was received at 3s20
and q quick run made to the mill which
is outside the hydrant system and loca.
ted on Otter creek, a mile from the cen-
ter of the village
Pumps at the mill were the only
means available, but Chief Rich sent
back for the steamer and as the pumps
soon gave out he was dependent on it
alone. With this the lower story Of the
building was saved and most of the press
room, three Of the presses being in fair
condition when the fire was under con-
troll at six o'clock.
In the nearby mill yard we're 100000
feet Of logs which were prevented from
catching Gre by hard work,
The Green Mountain pulp mill was
built 25 years ago and with the marble
mill formed Middlebury's chief manufac,
turing business, 1t was large frame
building, three stories high on the river
and one story on the other side. u was
T shaped and about 100x200 feet in d.
mensions.
Owing to certain unsatisfactory local
conditions the manager, ex-senator Rob
ert Cartmell, stated last night that he
Is in doubt as to whether the mill viii
be rebuilt OF not.
In view Of the inadequate fire protec-
tion the iuhanmable nature of the struc.
ture and the early giving out of the
pumps at the mill, the work of the local
fire department in saving as much of the
building as Ii did with the steamer alone
is regarded with satisfaction, Firemen
guarded the smouldering ruins all night.
