ORANGE LUMBER CO.'S
MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE
Heavy Loss Sustained Last Evening,
Just at Opening of the Lumbering
Season-0ther Buildings
Saved

The large steam saw-mill of the Or
angc Lumber company, located at the
base of Knox mountain in Orange, was
wholly destroyed hv fire last evening,
but the other buildings of the plant
escaped destruction because of the fact
| that there was little wind. The mill
and its contents were valued at $4,000,
on which there was a partial insurance.
Members of the company stated this
morning that they had not decided
whether they would rebuild or not. Tho
company has numbering work ahead III
that vicinity to cover year or more.
The fire broke out about s o'clock.
Workmen had been engaged in the mill
during the day, laying cement founda-
tion for the engine, quitting work at
about o'clock in the evening. There
was no one about the mill at the time,
and so it is possible that the fire may
have started from a match which smoul-
dered for some time. Or from spontane-
ous combustion, there being much oily
material about the mill.
When the fire was discovered, the
building was envelopcd in flames and
nothing could be done to check the fire;
but efforts were directed toward saving

so that, fortunately, the loss is not SO
large as it would have been few weeks
later.
The mill had not started for the win

the mill and was not damaged. although
other necessary parts to it were in the
building and were ruined. Much of the
equipment was new. having been put

by the Orange Lumber company when
operations were started tlreg

Fire Broke Out in the Bolster
Circle This Morning
FROM A W0RKMAN'S TORCH
Johnson & Gustafason Sustained Slight
Loss and the lding Was Little
Damaged : ii Alarm Called
g. >M entire Department

Fire in the south end of Mrs. L. J.
Bolster's steam polishing mill on Granite
street this morning made business for
the tiremen and threatened for few
moments several buildings in the same
group. An alarm from box l5 on Granite
street brought the combination auto
truck chemical wagon and ladder truck
TO the shed at 6;55 o'clock, and when
the tiremen ,dismounted they found
flames running up through a partition
to the roof. Two tanks of chemical So
luton were spread over the burning area
and the fire was out.
The lower end of the shed is occupied
by the firm of johnson & Gustafason.

Before the whistles sounded. one of the
men who reaches the shed early lighted
a gasoline torch which hangs ON the wall
in the boiler room. When the work
mans back was turned, the torch fared
partition ward and presently lively
little flame WAS creeping toward the
roof. The cracking of dry tinder first
led to the fires discovery and someone
turned in a general alarm from the box
near by. Owing, it is said to low press
Te at the gas plant, the big whistle that
usually booms out an emphatic alarm
emitted only a feeble noise that sound
ed like fizzle and then gave up the job
of serving notice on the call men.
Loss on the building viii not exceed
$50, and the johnson Gustafason com
pany is well protected. One member of
the firm is absent from the city, and
the second was not present at the out
break this morning. Mrs. Bolsters loss
on the building is also well insured The
about signal sounded within fifteen
after the firemen arrived. al
though one of the regulars was left at
the shed to guard against a second out
break
Chief GIadding stated this morning
that the failure of the gas company's
whistle to sound the alarm was due to
the extremely low pressure of steam
at the time. He visited the gas plant
soon after the fire was eXtinguished and
found 20 pounds Of steam registered,
where, as he declared, a pressure Of
30 pounds was desirable. A watchman
ut the plant explained that the whistles
silence was partially due to a valve leak,
which would be repaired.

NEW MAPS OF WEST VIRGINIA.
State Geological Survey Cooperates
with Federal Survey to Secure Them

West Virginia by financial coopera-
tion with the United States geological
survey is securing for itself topograph-
ic map which when completed will show
every important physical feature of this
mountainous state. The survey is being
made in foursided areas known as quad
rangles, averaging about 200 square
miles each, and as the area are sur
veyed the resulting map sheets, IA by
Is inches, are engraved and published
by the federal survey. There are l3l of
these quadrangles in the state and al
ready l03 have been surveyed and the
maps published. The latest map issued
is that of the Bald Knob quadrangle,
surveyed in 1910 by Fred Mclaughlin,
a topographic engineer of the federal
survey. This quadrangle lies in the
southwestern part of the state, covering
a portion of Boone, Wyoming, and Raj
eigh counties, and is traversed by Coal
river. The map is published on a scale
of approximately mile to the inch and
portrays an exceedingly broken and
mountainous country with elevations
ranging from less than 1000 to over
$500 feet. The ridges, mountains, and
valleys are shown clearly by contour
lines.
Another West Virginia map Just is
sued is the Holden sheet, representing
the area quarter of degree to the
west of the Bald Knob quadrangle, the
Logan quadrangle intervening. The
Holden area is similar in topography to
the Bald Knob quadrangle, being noun
famous and intersected by many creeks
aud streams. II is also traversed by
several railways and is shown to be a
coal-mining and coke producing region
The Holden quadrangle was surveyed by
Z. l. ireland Of the United States geo.
logical survey.
The maps are printed in four colors
black showing towns, farm house
roads. ard other works of man: blue
showing the rivers, creeks; green. show
ing the forest areas; and brown, for the
contour lines which show the sizes and
shapes OF the mountains and hills and
their attitudes above sea level
The Bald Knob and Holden maps are
sold by the geological survey at the
nominal price Of ) cents each. as are
also the other published maps Of quad
rangles in the state. A copy Of the
index map of West Virginia, V.hich shows
what areas have been mapped and the
names II the published sheets. can be

As Regarded by Experts Were
Scheduled for Today.
BETTING FAV0RS HARVARD
But Brown Is Expected to Put Up Stiff
Opposition Against the Crimson
Princeton Rules Favorite
4 Over Dartmouth.

New York, Oct. 26.--The most at
tractive offerings on the football pro-
gram in the east for to-day were tho
Princeton Dartmouth encounter at
Princeton and the Harvard Brown bat
ties at Cambridge. These games are re-
garded by football experts as the first
real tests Of merit of the Princeton and
Harvard teams. Betting in New York
this morning was ten to seven in favor
of Princeton and three to two on Harv-
ard. To-day also marked the beginning
of the intersectional games with Michi-
gan playing at Syracuse.
Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 6.-Flushed by
a big victory over the university of
Pennsylvania last week, Brown uniyer-
sity was prepared to give Harvard to-
day what was believed would be the stiff
fest test thus far ON the Crimson's
schedule. Harvard has always defeated
Brown, but generally the scores have
been close and the games very spec
taeular.
Princeton, N. j., Oct. 26-Anxious to
avenge their defeat by Princeton last
fall when DeWitt's famous dropkick
robbed them of tie score, the Dart
mouth college football team came here
to-day, determined not to be overcome
easily in this afternoons game. The in
dications pointed to another hard battle.
The playing field was soggy from
three days rain, and this was regarded
as an advantage to Dartmouth since
Princeton was depending more on her
speed than weight.
Vermont Loses Quarterback.
Burlington, Oct 26.-Vermont will not
have the services of Quarterback O'Brien
against the Springfield training school
this afternoon as O'Brien is out of the
game for the remainder of the season
probably. In the NJ. A. c. game O'Brien
received slight cut on the left eyeball
and now the eye has swollen to large
proportions. His place will be taken by
Currier, formerly captain of Gushing
academy. The Springfield team of 20
members arrived here last night.
