It is thought that the boiler, engine, planer and carriage are not seriously damaged and can be put in commission again soon, but it is understood that the Messrs. Taylor will not rebuild their mill as their tiniber supply at this point is nearly e x hausted. They are contemplating establishing in the saw milling business in northwestern W ash ington. It is the supposition that their fire is due to sparks blowing from the saw dust pit and falling in the mill in the dry shavings. No in surance was carried on the plant and the loss falls very heavy ou the proprietors.
