About 5 o'clock Wednesday morning Julias Graser, night watchman at the woolen mills, observed a black volume of smoke rising up from the dye house at the rear of the main building. An alarm was at once turned in, and the fire department re sponded quickly. Iu almost an instant great sheets of flame towered toward the skies, and for awhile a widespread conflagration wag imminent. All the hose that could be brought into use was turned on the angry flames and the pro tection of contiguous buildings. The firemen did brave and noble work, and were soon able to keep the flames within a circumscribed limit. The soap factory only a few feet away was saved, and ex Chnt Engineer S. R. Green, with the aid of a broken nozzle and pieces of hose kept the fire from spreading to the Portland flouring mills warehouse. Officer Shaw nearly ruined his uniform in fighting fire before the firemen could reach the flames. The loss to the woolen mills will aggregate about $12,000, in cluding the dye house, stock of dye e tuff 8, picking rooms, machine ' shop, tools, drier and a lot of wool. Besides the engine and boilers are damaged to some extent which will interfere with conveying heat and steam to the finish ina rnnmn.
