Blue Mountain House Burned

The famous Blue Mountain House, on
the Blue Ridge Mountain. built twenty
five years ago at cost Of $50. 600. was
destroyed by fire early Tuesday morn
ing. The fire had its origin in the kitch-
en- and quickly spread to adjoining rooms
and halls. thence to the elevator shaft
and the floors above. There were l75
guests in the hotel, all of whom except
b. +. Metzgar and Malcolm Frank, of
Norfolk, Va, make their escape in
safety.
The two men. uncle and nephew, did
not hear the alarm until they found
themselves hemmed in their room on
the fourth floor. In trying to escape
they fell through trap door into flame
swept hall and were badly burned about
the face aad head. They were hurried
to Waynesboro. few miles away, where
surgeons cared for them.
The main building was burned to the
ground. To the courage and cool-head-
edness of Frank Thomas, a colored por-
ter Of the hotel. many of the guests owe
their escape. This man. although half
sufrocated by the smoke. went from
door to door awakening the guests.
Then gathering them together he would
call This way OUT" and led them
through rear exit to safety.
So swift was the progress of the flames
that none of the party was able to save
any Of their jewelry or clothing. 1t is
estimated that more than one hundred
thousand dollars worth of jewelry was
lost.
The personal property loss. including
the jewelry of the guests. their clothing.
trunks and baggage together with the
personal loss of the lessees of the hotel.
amounts to $3.50. 900. Scores of guests,
chiefly from Baltimore. left on the
forenoon train for their homes. scantily
clad, save for what clothing they could
buy in Waynesboro.

Tomato Crop Late

Although the outlook for the tomato
crop in Worcester County and on the
Eastern Shore has improved 100 per
cent. during the last few weeks. the
crop this year will be very late. Already
the season for canning tomatoes is II
days behind time. which means that the
canning houses will have to work over
time when the movement of the pro-
duct really begins.
Despite the fact, however. that the
canning season is behind time. the quail
ity and condition of tomatoes this year
are better than for many past seasons.
The product is firm and solid. which is
absolutely needed by the highclass can
neries. 1t has been generally thought
that the acreage this year was consider
ably less than last year. The acreage
is small, but the difference is not so
great as supposed.
Improved weather conditions during
the last three or four weeks have been
responsible for a propitious crop out
look. In early July farmers in most all
counties said their crops were in hope
less condition. However, as the month
wore on the weather became more set
tied until now the crop is in good shape.
The only danger that now faces the
farmers and Gamers is that with the
crop several weeks behind there is a
fear of an early frost cutting off a week
or two at the end Of the canning season.
The season usually runs until the early
part of October. but with delay of
two weeks there is much fear Of the
time being suddenly ended.

ployes were present to give demonstra-
tons. Two balloonists, Flexon and May
