A northwest wind blew great guns here
last night, and caused much damage, the
heaviest loss being at the Demeritt &
Palmer Co.'S. canning plant. The roof of
the three-story section was blown of,
carrying with it quite q portion of the
supporting concrete wall On the back
side. 1t probably swept away the high
and massive concrete chimney at the
same time, for that part dropped over
diagonally and passed through two floors
to the bottom Of the factory, part OF the
debris falling into the engine room and
the rest into the cooking section OF the
building in the adjoining apartment.
The roof, hich was OF paroid, fell in
rear Of the building, carrying down the
electric wires leading to the milk factory
beyond. Some damage appears to have
resulted to the engine and boiler, and
many hundreds OF empty corn cans
dropped through the aperture made in
the second floor BY the falling chimney
The loss to the company may reach $500.
The catastrophe occurred about O'Clock.
The milk factory lost several feet of
the top OF its iron smokestack, which
dropped through the roof.
w. K. Lamson is another heavy loser
by the winds damage. 1t worked an
awning Eoh AoO7e run Ane ptick Wall IN
front OF his store, which thrashed about un-
til it shattered one of the big plate glass
windows. The " ind also rolled fully half
the tin roofing Of his store block, from the
front side.
Trees were wholly or partially deniol-
ished in the doorysrd Of w. B. Wall, in
front OF r. H. Towards block. at the
McCollom place on School street, and at
the Bryant place en- Central street.
The wind put the telephone service al
most out Of commission by carrying
down and twisting wires.
