FIRE IN PULP WOOD.
Blaze in Big Pile in North Walpole
Calls Out Departments.

BELLOWS FALLS, Oct. 27.-An
alarm of fire in the village of North
Walpole across the Connecticut from
this village was sounded about noon
yesterday and called out the fire de-
partments of North Walpole and the
International Paper company to brisk
fire in one of the piles of spruce con
tanning approximately $4,000 cords and
near pile of long logs aggregating
100000 feet, all belonging to the In
ternational Paper company. 1t was
nearly three hours before the fire was
under control and although the damage
was small the danger to the village of
North Walpole was very great. An
other pile was found to be afre last
week.
The logs are to be used in manufac-
turing pulp and paper and the COM
pany has two and half years. sup
lply on hand. In the same yard the
International company has 10000 tons
OF soft coal which has been burning
continuously for two months from spon-
taneous combustion. Strenuous efforts
OF the employees have failed to extin.
gulsh the fire. It is believed the fire
IN the spruce pulp wood was caused
frem the friction of the chains used in
drawing out the wood.
