FIRE AT HUTTIG
 CAUSES BIG LOSS
TWO BIG LUMBER MILLS DE STROYED IN EARLY AFTER
 NOON.

Huttig, May 31.-A loss estimated at more than $1,0O0000 was sustained to- day by the Frost-J ohnston Lumber company of New Orleans when its two big lumber mills were destroyed by fire. The blaze originated in the kilns. which were overheated, shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon. Within five minutes the flames had spread over practically the entire plant.
 Besides the two sawmills, both of which are of large capacity, two dry ing sheds, the fuel house, 20,00O0o0 feet of cut lumber and the trans were destroyed, and the blaming mill was badly damaged. The plant covered an area of approximately D acres, the daily capacity of which was 100000 feet
 When the fire broke out. all employ ees of the company, numbering more than TOO men were put to work fighting the wlames. The company had it's own waterworks system, but the pressure was inadequate. Dynamite was used, but this did not check the flames

Town Is Endangered.

Sparks from the burning plant flew in all directions. and the entire town was endangered. Several residences caught fire. but the flames were extin- guished before serious damage resulted.
 The flames rapidly ate their way through the buildings and leaped to the huge stacks of lumber. A high wind assisted them in spreading, and greatly handicapped the fire fighters.
 At midnight the flames still were visible for miles They were leapine 40 or 90 feet into the air. It is proba- ble the fire will not be extinguished for several days.
 Several directors of the Frost-John ston Lumber company, who were al tending a meeting at St. Louis, left early tonight on special train fol Huttig. They are expected to reach here before noon tomorrow.
 The company owns more than 6o'ooo acres of timber lands in this section and it is considered probable the plant will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The plant was established about IS years ago. and was one of the largest i'll southern Arkansas.
