Three buildings ot the Washougal Woolen Mills were practically de stroyed by fire early this morning with loss estimated by company of ficials at about $100,000. The loss was covered by insurance. The fire was believed to have started about midnight in the drying room, which had been given up as lost by two o'clock. Other buildings destroyed were the scouring room and the finishing room. It was sup posed that some finished goods had been destroyed, but the wool ware house was saved, as were the rest of the seven or eight buildings in the plant. : The mills are owned by C. M. Bishop ot Portland, president of the company; Chauncey Bishop, secretary-treasurer and George W. Sault, superintendent, who was at Wash ougal when the fire broke out. The mills consist of seven or eight -frame structures of a total value of $250,000. The cause of the fire was not do termined. The Washougal fire de- partment quickly realized that it was unable to cope with the flames un aided and sent a call to Camas for aid. By that tinie st seemed that the blaze would destroy not only mo mills, but would sweep into the busi ness section of Washougal, which is only three blocks from the mills. Sparks from the flames were fall ing throughout the business and resi dence districts. The city was almost in panic. Nearly all of the 800 or 1000 inhabi tants were aroused and most ot the adults were either helping to fight the fire or guarding their homes and offices with buckets ot water. Shortly after 2 a. m., firemen an nnnnend that nil of the mill build imrs except three would be saved and that the town was in no further danger. . V 31 1 POLISH REDS ASK , WARSAW, March 24.
