The
Little,
Ilaugland
and
Kerr
sawmill
here
was
totally
destroyed
by
fire
yesterday
alternoon,
the
loss
being
estimated
at
$100,000.
It
was
the
second
sawmill
in
this
district
to
be
destroyed
by
fire
within
a
few
days,
the
other
having
.been
the-plant
of
P.
L.
Bethurem
at
Usk.
The
fire
in
the
Terrace
mill,
the
well
known
old
Little
plant
almost
in
the
centre
of
the
town,
began
on
top
of
the
boiler
room
about
2:30
p.m.
The
entire
mill
was
one
sheet
of
flames
in
a
very
few
minutes.
The
local
water
supply
was
dry
but
an
auxiliary
system
was
effected
by
Forest
Ranger
S.
O.
Cooper
of
the
British
Columbia
forestry
service
with
forestry
equipment
which
brought
the
fire
uuicr
control
on
the
west
side.
Then
the
fire
fighters
worked
around
to
encircle
the
blaze.
In
addition,
army
personnel
turned
out
enmassc
and
rendered
valuable
assistance,
running
a
power
hose
from
barracks
to
the
scene
of
the
fire.
This
helped
considerably.
In
addition
to
this,
a
large
bucket
brigade
was
formed
by
civilians
and
soldiers.
The
mill
was
rated
at
35,000
feet
output
daily.
A
southeast
wind
carried
the
fire
away
from
the
town
and
no
other
buildings
were
damaged.

The

admitted
that

stated
that

There

however,
no
