BOARDMAN-MORROW COUNTY, OREGON-A NEW AND GROWING TOWN

rector of the commerce department's

merce, replying to what he character
ized as "false innuendoes" against

no knowledge of the department's an
nouncement of sugar production and
consumption until after it had been
given to the public.

responsibility for the announcement,
which, he reiterated, did not contain
any prediction of a sugar shortage and
the accuracy of which, he declared,
no one had challenged.

HEAVY FIRE LOSS AT
WASHCUGAL MILLS
Washougal, Wash. Plre, which
started in the drying room of the
Washougal Woolen mills swept through
three of the eight buildings of the
plant with a loss of approximately
$100,000.
For a time It appeared that the en
tire town was doomed, but with prac
tically every resident of the town
pressed into service as a volunteer
firefighter, and with the aid of the
Camas fire department, the blaze was
brought under control.
In addition to the drying room, the
buildings bousing the scouring room
and finishing room were a total loss.
Officials were unable to determine the
loss of finished woolens in the finish
ing room.
During the early stages of the fire
sparks dropped constantly on the wool
warehouse and for more than an hour
it was thought this building would also
be destroyed.
Some little concern was felt for
stores and other buildings in the busi
ness district, but three blocks away
from tho woolen mills, as flying era
bers were borne for hundreds of feet
through the air.
The woolen mills are owned by C.
II, Bishop of Portland and Chauncey
Bishop of Salem.
