About a quarter to three in the afternoon the Vanarsdol lumber mill and stock of lumber and nearly all the buildings connected with the plant were destroy- ed. Mr. Hagan was in the house and heard a noise which he thought was the train arriving. He went out to see but found a fire had got. well start- ed at the barn which was only a short distance from ‘the mill burner. In a remarkably short time the stiff wind and converted the blaze into a roaring fire,. An alarm was sent to Terrace and across the river where people werc picnicing. Fire fighters soon arrived but the plant was beyond saving and the loss was complete. Besides the mill, the buildings and personal effects ber destroyed. Three horses belong- ing to the. Hanson Timber ond Lum- ber Co. were. ‘yurned - in the barn. A loss of around $40,000 is the result and the insurance was only a little over a thousand dollars. After the fire”had completed its job the wind continued and blew away even the ash- es so that hardly a log or a stump is lef to mark the place, CARD OF THANKS wish to express their sincere thanks to all those who have been so kind ‘to them during their, recent bereavement, especiglly the doctors and nurses at tributes. fit The wedding of Miss Ann H.
