Hi and lo No. 201 n Dahl reports plans made to rebuild By Lucille Jordan and Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Staff Writers REDMOND A million dollar fire late Wednesday destroyed the main unit of the Tite Knot Pine Mill, with five buildings crumb ling before a wind-swept blaze that also threatened other plants in the industrial area at the north east edge of town. Phil Dahl. owner of the plant with Sam Johnson and Harold Barclay, said reconstruction will start as soon as possible. Redmond firemen, 90 volunteers and two fire trucks from Bend battled the flames, or stood by for otlier fire emergencies. Two firemen were hospitalized. Vera A. McGowan, manager of Hogan 8 store in Redmond and a member of tlie Redmond Volunteer Fire, Department, collapsed at the fire See pictures, 2 & 5 scene, after inhaling smoke. Ha was stlU in the Central Oregon District Hospital today. His con dition was reported good. Verden Fultz, who suffered a knee in jury, was treated as an out-patient. Second Loss The fire was the second loss suf fered by the Redmond firm this year. Just 45 days ago, the Dahl Pine Lumber Co. plant at Warm Springs was destroyed by fire, with the loss estimated at $250,- 000. The Redmond plant was about 90 per cent insurance covered. Workers on the night shift were) just going on duty, about 4:30 p.m., when yesterday's fire was discovered. Flames were sighted at the rear of the carriage, and possibly originated in the plant's welding department. In less than 15 minutes, the en tire plant was a mass of flames, whipped by an erratic wind. De stroyed were the main sawmill, the boiler house, the barker and chipper and fuel house. Saved were the planer, dry kilns, stacK- ed lumber, green chain and stor age sheds. Only recently a project ot mod ernization, started last year, was completed at a cost of around a million and a half dollars. The mill was closed through May while new equipment was install ed. New Installation New installations included . a barker-chipper, which converted mill waste into usable products. These were shipped to Boise- Cascade Paper Co. in Wallula, Wash. This was the first serious fire suffered by the Dahl plant since it was placed in operation in the early 1940s. Because of the loss ot the mill. Tite Knot must temporarily end its logging operations. Also clos ed will be the planer. Some 200 men are affected directly or in directly by the fire. Also partly affected will be the Whittier Moulding Co., which employs 100 men and obtains half its lumber from Tite Knot. Robert Whittier said his firm has enough stock on hand to operate for about a month. Then curtailment will be faced. The strike has made it im possible to obtain lumber from other sources. For Bend Plant Tite Knot also provided some lumber for Bend plants, and other firms in the area. Once work is started on recon struction, the mill that will re place the plant lost in Wednes day's fire will be ready to oper ate in about five months, com pany officials estimated. Tite Knot provided Redmond'i second largest payroll. A plan to spray the fire with slurry from a plane was given up because of the hazard from tall smokestacks, hidden in tha smoke, snd the danger of Injur ing firemen through the aerial im pact of tons of retardent
