On the spot where the fire started, t e box of matchej and nUper under the box shcok was discovered. Officials of the mill are at a loss to understand te motive for setting fire to the plant. The eta p'.oyes of the mill are said to be contented and there has been little evidence this year of 1. W. W. pro paganda in the lumber mills of this section.
