WOOLEN MILL BURNED
The Calamity Which Has
Overtaken Salem. . ,
LOSS EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
The Fire Thought to be the Work of
Incendiaries The Wire Depart
ment Helpless.
Satem, Or., Nov. 18. This morning at
5 o'clock Salem experienced the greatest
fire calamity in her history. At that
hoar her woolen mill, built in 18S9, and
eq Hipped with modern machinery of the
most improved style, was wiped oat of
existence by fire, entailing a loss of near
ly $80,000, with bat $20,000 insurance.
The fire was first discovered In the
dryhouse at 5 o'clock by the watchman,
who claims it must have been the work
of an incendiary. When the discovery
was made the fire had gained such head
way as to prevent him from reaching the
main wheel. Could he have set this in
motion, he could have saved the build
ing with the fire hose of the mill.
The city fire department arrived in
time to have saved it, but their supply
of coal gave out and before they could
replenish it from their engine-house
half a mile away, the work of destruc
tion had progressed to an Irresistible
point.
This catastrophe is a hard blow to
Salem. The mill was the only onto on
the coast running night and day .through
all the hard times. It gave employment
to from 50 to 60 bande, and expended
large amounts of money throughout the
Northwest. Thomas Kay, the projector
and manager of the mill, is at Waterloo,
eo it is impossible to ascertain the pro
babilities of its re-establishmenl. Salem
people subscribed $20,000 bonus to get
this mill established.
MAKING SLOW TIME.
Bad Roads Impede the Horseless Car
riage From New York.
Pouqhkebpsib, N. Y., Nov. 18. The
horseless carriage, which lett New York
Friday for Chicago, is quartered here for
the night. It has made slow progress
on account of rough roads and steep
grades. Frank McPherson, who is in
charge of the carriage, said he found the
roads much worse than he anticipated,
and is now six hours behind the sche
dule. He has experienced much diffi
culty with horses along the roads. The
machine frightens the animals, and
there have been several narrow escapes
from accidents. A man mounted on a
bicycle now goes ahead of the machine
to warn drivers or horses and to prevent
runaways. Mr. McPherson expects to
reach Chicago in time for the races
Thankegiving day.
