Sparks From Dynamo Ianited Lint
One Of the Largest Plants Of Its
Kind in the World.

s HOUSTON, TeX.-The plant OF the In

in round numbers at S1,000,000. ane
covering several acres of ground il
the northw estern part of the city, was
with the exception of small refiner.
and q cotton seed hull storehouse, de
stroyed by fire Saturday. A spark
from q small dynamo in the lint room
dE2ited q small pile OF lint, and with
m u few seconds large roomful OF
that highly inflammable material was
a raging furnace. Fire spread from
one department of the large cottor
seed oil mill to another, until it finally
died out for lack of material.
Thousands of tons Of cotton seed,
cotton cake and meal and hulls were
destroyed in the immense warehouses
Of the company. Fortunately the oil
was stored in covered iron tanks some
distance from the Oil mill proper. and
only small amount of oil was con
sumed. The seed and meal made q
lire which burned with much fierce
ness, and the dense black smoke at
tracted thousands from all over the
city.
A new reinforced concrete smoke
stack, standing in the center of the
mill. withstood the assaults of the
flames and gave successful demon
stration of the qualities of that ma
terial. The stack is one of the largest
and tallest in Houston, and the test
it apparently withstood was a very
severe one.
One of the first things to be saved
by the officials of the company when
it was seen that the entire plant was
doomed were several rolls of press
cloth. This peculiar cloth costs $500
per roll, it is said, and is composed
Of camels hair. Only a limited guam
tity can be obtained, and cloth of such
material is said to be the only thing
which can Withstand the heat and ter
rifle pressure which must be applied
in separating oil from the cotton seed
mixture, as it is prepared in the ordi-
nary oil mill.
Insurance to the extent Of $275,000
was carried on the stock of the mill,
and the insurance on the building and
machinery amounted to nearly $780,
900. General Manager ]. L. Hudgins
stated that the insurance was carried
in New York City at the general Of
fees Of the company, and that he
could give few Of the details Of the
losses and insurance. The entire mill
and practically all of its contents were
destroyed, and the fire which broke
out afresh at o'clock in the after
noon consumed the minor buildings
that were left by the morning fire.
