Farm Buildings
Near Siverton


SlIverton, Or, Nov. 6.-Fire late
Sunday afternoon completely de-
ssfroyed the farm home and out
buildings on the w. Bloom farm
near here, and little of the con-
tents were saved. The fire Is sup-
posed to have originated in the roof
Of the house from defective
!, chimney, and it had gained such a
start before being discovered that
IL was impossible to get much out
on the building. The barn caught
allre next and although heroic eff
Tort was made to have the building
II was without avail. Mr.. Bloom
succeeded in getting his liyestock
oni OF the barn, but much of his
farm equipment, including an aiIto
truck, were consumed. He carried
nttle insurance on the property and
the loss is great.
