RHF MES SAW MILL
BURNS, LOSS $40, 900
FIVE FIRES OCCUR WITHIN "a
HOURS AT CRYSTAL
SPRINGS.

Crystal Springs, Mss, March -
Five fires in "a hours was the record
here from Saturday noon to Sunday
noon. Saturday at noon the residence
of Miss Abbie Tillman was damaged
by fire. At 1850 o'clock Saturday
night a general alarm was turned in
when it was discovered that the
Rhymes Lumber company was on fire.
It was supposed to have caught up
stairs, where the box and basket ma
terial was stored. This was a veneer
and box manufacturing company which
had been in operation only since the
1st of January, and had not been COM
pleted. The Roadway the fire had
made before it was found, and the
high wind, made it impossible for the
firemen to check the fire before the
main mill was destroyed. H. H.
Rhymes, the manager, estimates the
losses at about $4,000, partly covered
by insurance.
At an early hour Sunday the resi-
dence of r. J. Young caught fire, but
was put out before alarm was given.
At II O'Clock Sunday, while people
were attending services in the vari-
Gus church. the firemen were called

occupied by J. M. Bridges and family.

EXPECT BIG SPRING
BUSINESS IN PINE

Meridian, Miss, March S-The past
week has seen continued Improvement
in the yellow pine market, with in
dicatiOns that heavy spring buying
has already set in The shortage of
cars is giving the mills considerable
trouble and is affecting the movement
to certain extent. Planning mills are
complaining that they are losing time
because they are unable to secure box
cars, which it is said are cOngested
on the seaboards.
The past week has seen q rather
brisk demand all along the line, with
a general demand from all parts of
the cOuntry.A noticeable feature is
the heavy call for building materials.
Heavy orders for railroads are also
anticipated and the roads are expect
ed to place some large orders, as
soon as weather conditions improve.
Lumbermen in this section look for
one of the largest spring business
in five years and on every hand pre-
parations are being made to meet the
demand. Special attention is being Civ
en- to the 100000 foot export order
for France, which it is said has not
yet been placed in its entirety. Some
of the order has been placed, but
there is yet good portion to be taken
by the mills.
The local building situation has
shown very little improvement, al
though fair business is reported
from the retailers.
Car material orders have been plen-
tiful during the past week. according
to reports from this market, good
call being reported for decking and

DOUBT OF INVENTORS
DEATH TIES UP ESTATE
Proof Lacking That g. n. Shra-
der Was Buried at Sea.

Although it has been believed for
some time that George II. Schrsder. a
wealthy inventor Of Hsrtsdsle, n. Y,
had died in Iceland, where he had
gone 20 found a home for the wild
ponies which wander about the
barrens, the administration Of his
estate is still tied up through lack Of
evidence of his death.
Indefinite reports have reached this
country that the man died on board a
vessel plying between Iceland and
Norway and was buried at aea.
Further particulars are lacking. and 1t
is not known positively whether or
not Schradeg is dead.
Mr.. Schrader, who founded the
Caroline Rest for Conyalescent Mothers
and Babies, at Hartsdale. had made
several voyages to Iceland. The last
letters from him on this trip asserted
that he was afraid to return to this
country by way OF England. He bad
no passport and feared internment be-
cause OF his German accent. He also
said he intended TO take passage on q
Norwegian trawler to Scandinavia.
Since then he has not been heard from.
Or. II. Ernest Schmid, Of White
Plains. a close friend OF Mr.. Schrader,
said yesterday: IF Mr.. Schrader had
died | certainly would have received
some news Of it. sent a cable
message TO Iceland, but have received
no reply"
Mr.. Schrader made his fortune from
the Schrader valve, which is used in
all automobile tires in this country.
