MASS0F FIRE SH00TSTHR0UGH
STRUCTURE WITHOUT WARNING:
NOT LIFE LOST, NONE INJURED

part of the general public but gangs
of men stayed to the finish until
the last vestige of flames had been
subdued and throughout Sunday
guards watched the smouldering
ruins, while water was poured on
the charred spot throughout the day.
Flaming brands from the mill set
fire to logs in the booms as far as
1900 feet out in the lake but were
soon doused
In short, the big mill was COM
pletely wiped out with the exception
Of the boilers and burner. 1t is the
belief Of B. w. Lakin, logging SUI
perintendent, that the boilers are
not damaged to any extent. =, >,
Loss Estimated 100000.
Just what started the conttagra-
tion is a matter of seeming conjec-
ture. No one seems to know nor
will any in authority offer an opin-
ion. The total loss is estimated by
Superintendent Lakin at about
100000. but says it would require
at least $25O,OO0 to replace the mill
as 1t was before its destruction.re:,
] In addition to the destruction of
the mill as noted, approximately
100000 feet of lumber was Destroy
ed, 1t being the lumber in the mill at
the time. The flames did not spread
to- the millions Of feet of lumber in
the immense yards of the company.
Stories Of Employees.
There are various stories told by
the employees In their experienced
when the fire broke out in it's sud
den fury. Henry Dahl, one of the
sawyers, says the first thing he
knew was wrong was when a sheet
Of flame spOuted from beneath his
feet and the interior of the mill
broke into a roaring mass Of flames.
| He grabbed his tools and got out as
fast as he could.
That's about the gist of the rest
Of the tales, only the men say the
| first thing they knew a sheet Of
| flame swept the interior of the mill
and everybody broke for safety.
| Boom Men Escape.
The narrOWest escapes were Of the
boom men at the end of the mill.
They had to get around the end Of
the mill and face the onrushing
flames but got to safety.
Practically no clothing was saved
and the millwrights lost their tools.
Costly Machinery Lost.
One of the most severe losses was
that of the machine shop. 1t con-
! tained the costliest Of machinery and
equipped in every detail. It will
be an exceedingly difficult matter to
replace the machinery, ETC., owing
to the present state of manufacture
ing on account of the war.

St. Paul, July 23.-The following

1t was about 11:1O o'clock Sat-
urday night, humid summers
night. Hundreds of Bemidji resi-
dents resting in negligee upon home
porches or returning from outings,
strolls, or autoing in the heat of the
late evening. In the huge Mill No.
OF the Crookst0n Lumber company
the husky sparsely clad night crew
was at toll to the hum of whirling
gear, the z-z-z-z-zip of huge saws
as they tore their way through giant
logs to the accompaniment of the
|sodden bump as the logs shouted
their way up from the murky waters
of the lake and were shunted onto
the carriages and on to the big
steel saws which ruthlessly ripped
their sides into squares which in
turn became glisIening boards of
commerce.
Mill Bursts Into Flames.
A sabbath day was nearing when
out into the inky blackness of the
midnight hour sprang lurid wave
of fire and. in moment roar swept
the big mill which lighted up the
heavens into day, interiors Of houses
being aglow as far as 25 and 30
miles, while the reflection in the sky
was clearly visible so miles away

men at work found them all safely

Higher and higher climbed the

louder and louder roared the fire as
spreading to approximately 100 wag-

hauled to the yards, and through the
sorting sheds. Not a man was able
to lift finger to stay the flames.
It was a case of get out. Not a move
could be made to check the fire. The

Everything they encountered in the
mill, machine shops, wagons and
Everything in proximity to the big

How It Was Checked.
When the mill was erected it was
built out over the water. Since then
much sand has been pumped
around the mill so as to give It more
ground area where needed. How
ever, much of the mill stood over the
water and as soon as possible an
army of workmen assembled on the

SAFETY COMMISSION
AUTHORITY IS UPHELD
BY FEDERAL COURT

St. Paul, July 23.-The authority
of the Minnesota Public Safety COM
mission was upheld in a decision
handed down by Judge Wilbur F..
Booth in the United States district
court, denying the prayer of Phil
= Cook, a Canadian, and saloon keeper
in Minneapolis, for an injunction re-
straining the commission and city Of
ficials from enforcing the commission
order requiring all saloons to be
closed between 10 at night and in
the morning. Judge Booth approved
the act of the commission as a war
measure.
e.. M. H. Boutelle, attorney for Cook,
said he expected to appeal to the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals.
"It is fortunate that this question
Of the commissions powers arose at
this time that we might have such
clear and definite Interpretation of
the commissions powers" said Am
brose Tighe, attorney for the COM
mission
The court dismissed the question
of the states police power by saying
it was very broad. He also cited a
United States supreme court decision
in a federal reserve board matter
where the board made definite or
ders. The recent decisions showed
a tendency to permit the delegation
of administrative details of 1egisla-
ton to boards or individuals, he
said.

Mill Calls for Help.
The deep bass sound of the mill
fire whistle had not been heard in
long time, and its first note
brought from practically every home
in the city entire families. Auto
after auto sped through the streets
toward the scene of the conflagra-
tion. People swarmed every thor
oughfare in long professions, the
west shores of the lake were lined
with hastily garbed humanity and
they sat or stood in silence. Women
hurried toward the scene crying,
fearing husband, brother or son had
been caught in the fiery furnace. 1t

Not An Employe .

TO Be Retained

Not a man in the employ of the
Crookston Lumber Company's mill,
No. /, Bemidji, Minnesota, will lose
his position nor one penny by the
destruction of the big plant by fire
Saturday night.
Every man en- the payroll Of the
mill will be taken care of and not
be allowed to suffer in the least.
One of the most notable instances
of loyalty in the history of the city
of Bemidji or any other spot in the
United States was that at 8 o'clock
this morning when General Mill Su-
perintendent E. H. Day called the
mill employees who were at work in
the debris and informed them that
not man employed at the mill was
off the payroll of the company but
that all were still considered en-
ployes of the company.
Superintendent Day further in
formed the men that various other
mills CT the company would take
their share Of men thrown out of
work by the Bemidji mill fire and
place them at work at the same
wages they were receiving here.
