Woods, who was of powerful
physique, ran amuck last Sunday

a rapid spiead of the blaze till the

the time that the blaze wa3 incen
diary, no evidence erruld be secured
to substantiate the belief.
Matches Found
First move of the fire chief this
morning, when the fire truck arriv
ed ut the D.-ene of the blaze, was
to search' for signs of incendiarism.
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.
NO Discontent
( "So far as we know tbe:e la no
feeling of discontent among the men
at tho mill," was the statement tils
morning of Claude H. Daggett, one
of the owners of tile mill tills morn
ing "It looks lo us like the work
ot a firebug.''
The tire this mo.aing recalls tho
famous 1917 fire, during the 1.
W. W. strike, then the Ewnuna llox
company was hurtled to tho ground
on October 19 of that year. At
that time, it was believed that the
fire was set by the 1. W. W. as
a retaliation move against mill
owners.
Probe Cnder Way
A careful investigation o the
,'ire is being conducted by Fire Chief
Ajnbrise with the assistant ot the
alnerift's office. Officials of the mill
will redouble their efforts t'l apprt
henl the mail wha sturted the fir.)
nnd every possible measure to avoid
a recntrronco of another fire will ho
taken.
That the goddess ot link baa
