TC TAKE MINES NEXT.
Believed Government Will Have to Do
It to Prevent Congestion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-A plan is un-
der consideration for the taking over by
the government of the mining industries
ot the country in the same plan as the
railroads.
This step is regarded as one of direct
necessity IN order to speed up war prep
arations and eliminate the serious condi-
tlons of congestion which are retarding
almost every phase of military organiza-
ton. The government now has no an
thorlty to act in regard to mines, as it
has in the railroad situation, and it would
be necessary to obtain special legislation
from congress for such action This it is
proposed to seek within the next few
weeks. The aim is to include in the
project mines producing coal, iron and
chemicals, and resources of petroleum and
all mineral oils. Essentially the chemi-
cal industry generally so far as it is an
adjunct of war preparations would be in.

F. L. Pierce's Mill Burned
in BrOOkline with
$4,000 Loss
|SAYS HE WILL NOT
ERECT ANOTHER
Will Dispose of About 100000 Feet Of
Timber and Return to Putney-FoI-
lowed by Hard Luck Through Long
Business Career.

For the seventh time since he estab-
lished himself in the saw mill and chair
stock business Franklin L. Pierce of Put
ney and Brookline yesterday lost a mill
by fire. His mill in Brookline was de-
stroyed towards morning. and practically
nothing was saved
With this fire Mr. Pierce will quit the
saw mill business. Il shall not rebuild
Mr. Pierce asserted to The Reformer in
response to a question, -'as | am getting
too old | am So years old, but | shall
have to stay here until | can dispose of
my timber lots. Then probably shall 60
back over to Putney and stay"
Mr. Pierce's home has been in Putney
Tor years, but lie has been in Brookline
nearly all the time except Sundays. He
has about 100000 feet of standing timber
in Brookline
The loss from yesterdays fire was
about $4,000, partly covered BY insur-
ance. The fire was discovered about
O'Clock by Ray Marsh and Herbert Gil
christ, who saw it from ROYAL Marsh s
house, where they live. They ran to the
Pierce boarding house and notified Mr..
Pierce. Most of the eight or ten men en-
pioyed had not gotten up, but they
dressed quickly and rushed to the mill.
but 1t was too late to accomplish anv-
thing, as the building was then about to
tall III, and in a short time only mass

How the fire started is not known but
it Is thought that it may have been
caused by someone smoking earlier in the
N iui4 nd ha+
early morning before bursting into flame
From the circumstances it Is not believed
that the fire started around the boiler.
and when the stoves were examined in
the evening as usual everything seemed
to be all right.
The saw mill was about 30 feet long
and 22 feet wide and contained the big
saw. The shop was about 81 by 80 feet and
contained two back knife lathps. bench
saw, planer and other machinery Con-
nected with the shop was dryhouse con-
tanning about $500 worth of stock
Mr.. Pierce started in the mill business
in East Putney, where his first fire loss
occurred 81 years or so ago. There he
got out lumber, boxes, carriage and baby
carriage spokes, chair stock. etc. At that
time East Putney was a hustling com
lnunity with immense log piles and lum-
bcr piles scattered about with a large
number of teams coming in from the
woods twice dav
Since then Mr. Pierce has lost mills bv
fire in East Putney, Putney and Brookline
making seven in all, always at a consid-
cradle loss, but he has persevered. taking
his losses phiosophically. bearing mp un-
der the unkind hand of Fate and helping
keep the communities going in a business
way. For about p years he has had
mill in Brookline. having a mill in Put
ney also much of the time, but the latter
was burned few years ago.
