Vernon were beating back the flames more | which, nine hours after their start, were threatening to complete the devastation by consuming the main mill of the company nearby. If the wind should change the entire city would be in danger, Thus far the stiff gale, which sprang up shortly before a watch- man for the company s' ited the fumes in the box factory Thursday morning, has swept the blaze away from the city and toward the open water of the Puget Sound. But ft 1s eating tack into the half-con- sumed lumber into the face of the wind and the main mill also is be- leved doomed. Reports from the scene of the conflagration early Thursday morn: ing were that it had gained great headway in the box factory. With surprising rapidity the blaze spread to nearby lumber plies, the drying kiln and the main offices while the ‘alarm rang out and col- lective “Anacortes jumped from its bed, threw on a few pleces of cloth+ |ing and dashed thru the cold, strong |wind to the scene of the fire. With the coming of the local fire department a number of volunteers Offered their services as a bucket brigade, but the intense heat of the blaze was too great for close-up work and the fighters had to content them- selves with throwing streams of water from greater distances and at- tempting to save those parts of the mill property not already ignited. An alarm was turned in at Mount Vernon and the fire department of that city arrived on the scene about They were still assisting the local company of firemen Thursday forenoon.
