The farmer who raises horses and
sheep, feeds dairy cows and fattens
beef cattle, annually should grow
large crops of oats. They should get
ripe enough to be cut and bound by
the binder, so when dried out In the
shock the sheaves will not mold when
stored In the barn. These things at

MILL FIRE
CAUSES BIG LOSS
COMPARATIVELY PLANT
DESTROYED BY BLAZE
CHRISTMAS DAY.

Spontaneous combustion starting
in the fine dust and splinters in the
drag-saw room is believed to have
caused the fire which completely de-
stroyed the mill of the Olympia
Shingle company on the waterfront
Christmas afternoon, causing a loss
at $4,000.
The blaze was discovered in the
drag-saw room by the watchman
about o'clock in the afternoon and
it spread so rapidly that the main
mill building was entirely afire be-
fore the department could cope with
1t. The department put two lines of
hose on to the blaze and went back
and got third. while employees of
the mill fought with their own hose
lines, and soldiers and bystanders
helped.
Nearly a carload of shingles that
were ready for the kiln were burned
or damaged, but the blaze was kept
away from the kilns. The main mill,
however, Is wreck, the engine room
and shingle machinery being almost
a total loss while of the building
only few burned rafters and charred
weatherboarding remain.
The company carried $1,000 in,
surance on the property and plans to
rebuild the mill, arrangements to
that end being discussed at meet
ing of the stockholders Friday night.
The company is owned by the en-
ployes themselves, l.. Vaughn being

tary.
This is the second time the mill
has been partially destroyed by fire.
