The esti- mated loss is abatti $16,000, partially covered by insurance. The fire started in the machine, de- partment, and was first noticed about 9.15 when the alarra was immediately turned in. The firemen were soon on the job and were playing water on the flames within a very short time, The fire had, however, gained such headway that it took considerable time before it was brought under con- trol. The building was a frame structure and in the days when liquid refresh- ments were sold over the open bar it was known as the Dinsley House, be- ing one of the landmarks of the town. While the -fire was raging in one end of the building willing hands car- ried all the of ice equipment to safety and threw out a fairly large quantity of dressed lumber, before the smoke became so dense ineide that they had to retire. Although the building at the rear was • completely destroyed as to the walland roof, the Beers remained sedure, leaving the machinery stand- ing as before. Whether the machines are seriously damaged by the heat or not is hard to say, but it i thought the bed of the planer would be warp- ed, it being in the moet extreme heat. The front portion of the mill where the office is located, had the roof and rear wall burned, leaving the front wall unharmed, The C. N. R. officials fearing that with the wind blowing in the clitec- tion of several freight cars that the sparks might set fire to then; • had them removed to a safe distance. • The origie of the fire is unknown and the owner is unable to advance any cause for the sudden outbreak Nothing is as yet lcnown as to Mr. MacLean's intentions regarding the business, whether he will rebuild. or not.
