THRTY BUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED Firemon Fnguge In & Hard Fight to Save the Clty—A Laek of Water Works to Their Disadvantage— Stovx Crry, Oct, 12 About 1o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the Andrews planing miil, near the corner of Fifth and Water streets on the bank of PPerry creek I'ne response to the alarm was prompt but before a line of hose could be stretched the pent up smoke and gas in the big, tinder- dry factory burst through the windows with a dull rt iike tho explosion of loose powder, and in another instant the structure was swathed in the sheets of flame that issued from every opening. en a general alarm was sent in that brought out every wheel in the department, By the time the last of them arrived, less than twenty minutes after the discovery of the fire, the flames had leaped the creek and fired the long row of frame buildings lining tho west sido of Water street between Fourth and Fifth streots, Twenty minutes more and the wholo re and Fifih, Water snd Kansas streets, was oue rolling, tymbling mass of flame and smoke and flyig embers, rey As Dry as Tinder. The buildings were as dry as tinder, A brisk wind from the north was blowing down the channel of the creek which divided the burning district, and the flames swept from roof to roof with incrodible rapidity. With- in an hour thirty buildings were ablaze. Between the planing mill and tho river lay property of immense value, and the firemen labored” heroically to save'it. Any hopo of salvage from the four blocks of wooden structures was given up early in the figat, and the department’s efforts were confined y to breventing thefiring of the business vart of the town and the mills and elevators south of Fourth street. The water in the reservoir was soon ex- hausted. and the hose lines wero supplied by direct pressure from tho pumping stations. The inconstancy of this caused the bursting of several lines of hose and added greatly to the difficultics of the task the firemen had to perform. It was 3 o'clock before there was any as- surance that the whole district botween Iifth strectsand the river along the valley of the Perry wasnot to be wiped out. The strength of the department was thrown on West Third street and along the Fourth street bridge, and though the rubber coatings of the hoso were blistering in the heat and soveral times the cornices on the south side of the street were ignited, the fire got no good hold.
