Cotton mills are employed to fun ca
pacity Of machinery. although in GER
tain instances the prices of material are
not as great proportionatcly as is noted
VITA other commodities. Wooen mills
report production good and demand con-
tiuucs uniform. Shirt manufacturers are
row employ ed to fun capacity. Manu-
facturers OF white goods report steady
increase in the amount of new business
received, and where six months ago GER
tain orders were welcomed, at the pres
ent time the demand is so large that
promises beyond the fall period are be-
ing offered. One new waist factory has

4 Gre at the Burlington Rendering
plant, situated on the Rutland railrond
about opposite from Ethan Allen PARK.
which caught from Simultaneous COM
bustion in the early hours of Tuesday
morning, caused damage to the plant ana
products which will amount i'm ali 10
about $4,000. That the entire plant was
not destroyed is due to the hard and
efficient work of a part Of Burlington's
lire department, headed by Chief G.. y.
Stocltwcll.
The fire department was called in this
city at $40 o'clock. the blaze being dis
covered short time previous to that
hour by the Waterman on duty. Tho blaze
was caused by spontaneous combustion
among bones which Were laid on steam
coils to dry in the drying room situated ON
the third floor of the plant The wood
work of the room was soon i'm ~ blaze
and when tho men on the fire truck from
station one arrived it looked as though
the entire plant would be lost. The
chief telcphoned back to this city for
the apparatus from stations two and
four and proceeded to fight the fire with
chemical until they arrived.
When the hose trucks arrived lines
were connected to the three hydrants
provided by the Rendering company and
while at first the pressure was weak it
was later brought up so that three heavy
streams were available with which the
fire was cXtinguished after an hour $
hard work The blaze was kept within
the room where it broke out and the
men of the department who fought arc
entitled to great credit.
While 1t was at first estimated by the
chief that the damage to the building
would not amount to ever $500 A. j.
Canning, manager of the plant, stated
| that the damage to the building would
amount to over 5000 and nigh, he rs
high as SS,G1o. The greatest damage was

been made and was ready for shipment
