Driven by one of the worst wind storms of the year, a fire, blown from the refuse, burned near by, practically destroyed the en tire lumber yard of the Bend Lumber company late Wednesday. Only by a change of the wind was the sawmill and planing shed saved. As near as can now be estimated the lumber stock destroyed amounted to 4,000,000 feet, about 100,000 feet hav iner been saved. In addition to the yard devastation, J three homes located near the yard were also destroyed. All of the house hold goods, doors and windows were removed before the flames reached the houses, which were owned by Lester Manier and Maurice Cashman. The latter was the only one that car ried insurance on his house. The Bend company carried $37,500 insurance on itp lumber stock, but it is believed that its loss will be about $20,000 in addition to the insurance. The sawmill has not been running for several days, as most of the avail able timber has been cut. Recently the company cleared up the logs al6ng the river, and these Will now be cut. J. P. Keyes, manager of the Bend company, is in Seattle, but is expected I to return this evening. It is generally believed that, upon his return, the com pany will secure more timber and im mediately begin sawing again. That the fire will seriously impede construction work about Bend is gen erally conceded.

Griffin mill, east of Bend, i has not been running for some time, and has a very small stock on hand. The Anderson and McNaught mills have but small stocks.
