TANNERY DESTROYED
Fire Causes Loss of Nearly Half a
Million Dollars at Merrill,

The fiery elements dealt a severe
blow to MerrilPs Industrial activities
on Tuesday afternoon when the large
tannery of the Michigan Tanning &
Extract Co. was burned to the ground
An incipient blaze had been dis
covered in the bark room in the
morning and the fire department had
! extinguished it supposedly, but wheth-
er some hidden spark had been smol-
| dering, or a new fire was started, can
not be determined, but about $3.50
that afternoon flames burst out again
and in a jiffy the whole interior was
a seething furnace, and the employees
were able to escape only because of
the convenient exits.
Prompt response of the fire de-
partment and the efficient assistance
of the employees might have been
effective, but the water pressure was
positively inadequate to accomplish
anything, even to the protection of
the surrounding property. Bucket
brigades were formed and every pos
sible device resOrted to to meet the
deficiency, but to no avail, and the
tannery plant, standing on the bank
of the Wisconsin river, with water
enough flowing by to float it, burned
to the ground, while the spectators
realized for a second time that our
fire protection under a severe test
does not protect, and will not until
provided with a steamer, or some
adequate auxiliary to the water sup
ply system.
The entire plant was either burned
or so badly damaged that it will have
to be rebuilt if used.
The amount of insurance carried is
variously estimated from $5O0000 to
100000, the exact figure not being
known here. AS to the probability
of the plant being rebuilt, we are all
exceedingly hopeful, but the matter
will not be determined until the Of
ficials of the company have looked
over the situation and given the mat
ter due consideration.
Besides the tannery, two houses
were burned, one belonging to Mrs.
Lndrew Sundeen, the other the home
of Nick Pappas. They saved the most

The tannery employed nearly one
hundred hands, was paying good
wages. and operating steadily, and
was a valuable adjunct to our indus
