WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1921.

Ellsworth, in common with many
other railroad towns, is suffering the
annoyance of the frequency of whist
ling by trains passing through the
city. This is due to a law passed by
the last legislature, requiring loco
motives to whistle at all grade cross
ings. Under the mistaken impress
sion that the law went into effect
ninety days after its passage instead
of ninety days after the adjournment
of the legislature, the Maine Central
started in on the whistling program a
few weeks ago, but when it found its
error, discontinued it. Now, how
ever, the law has gone into effect,
and the whistling has been resumed.
There is an avenue of escape, how
ever, as the law contains provision
that upon petition of the corporation,
the municipal officers or ten legal
voters of any city or town, the public
utilities commission may order the
new signals discontinued in any
place 1t is, of course understood
that the commission would not and
will not suspend the signals in any
place or at any crossing where pub
lie safety requires their use. There
are five grade crossings north of the
Ellsworth station within a distance of
less than half a mile-the rock
crusher road. Davis street, Birch
avenue, Park and Lincoln streets
and it would seem that the whistling
for some of these might with safety
be eliminated. Automatic bells or
arm-sgnals would better solve the
problem.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Whitcomb, Haynes n whitney
Long Lumber Mill Destroyed.

Long Lumber Mill Destroyed.
The long lumber mill of Whit
comb. Haynes & Whitney, on the
upper dam at Ellsworth Falls, was
burned shortly before noon to-day,
together with considerable finished
| lumber. The loss is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, with in
surance of approximately one-half.
The origin of the fire is mys-
terv. The mill had been shut down
for two weeks on account OF low
water. and there was no fire in the
waste burner in the millyard. The
! fire started in a small building be-
tween the mill and burner, through
which the carrier ran, and which
was used as a firewood and sawdust
shed. The theory of spontaneous
combustion in the sawdust is ad-
vanced by some, while others at
tribute it to spark from pipe or
cigarette.
owing to the unusually dry con-
dition of everything in and about
the mill, the flames spread rapidly,
following the carrier to the mill,
which in few minutes was mass
of flames. Sparks carried by the
wind set fire to the piles of finlshed
lumber on the west side OF the river,
doing considerable damage. me
mill was soon fiat but the fire in the
lumber piles, burning underneath
and between them, was stubborn
one to fight. The roofs of several
houses in the vicinity also caught
fire from sparks, and vigilance was
necessary to save them.
The fire was intensely hot, and
with the heat of the sun, several
men were overcome by heat while
fighting it.
The burned mill was built about
1853. by the late Seth Tisdale, re-
placing one burned on the same
site, when a mill on the opposite
side of the dam was also burned. 1T
was equipped with gang and rotary
saws for long lumber, and also with
box-board machinery and lath mill.
About twenty-five men were en-
ployed in the mill, while it fur
nished employment to half dozen
more transfers and others outside.
The burning of the mill is Sc
we're loss to the community.
Whether or not it will be rebuilt
cannot at this time be said.
