HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday. Feb. 18, 1!)fi0 PAGK 3 A Lumber Plant Destroyed By Fire PORTLAND (AP) A fire .burned through a four-story lum ber plant here Wednesday night. Firemen said the building was a total loss, and damage was esti mated at more than $160,000. The flames also ate into an ad joining cold storage company. Fire and water loss there was extensive. Fire Inspector C. W. Stickney said determination of the fire's cause would have to await an extensive investigation. The fire broke out about 7:30 p.m. in the frame building that housed the Western Door & Ply wood Co. in Portland's Northwest industrial section. It took firemen more than two hours to quell the flames. : The flames ate through nearly all of the top two floors of the . building. Destroyed on those up per floors were large quantities of plywood, doors and cabinet stock. The flames also swept through the bottom two floors, but they remained standing. The bottom floor had been filled wilh manu facturing equipment. . D. R. Morris, the secretary of the lumber firm, said he esti- mated the damage at more than $160,000. No estimate was available im mediately on damage suffered by the adjoining Portland Ice & Cold Storage Co. J. W. Savinar, owner of the firm, said the building and equipment were valued at more than $500,000 not counting con tents of freezing units. Nineteen pieces of equipment and scores of firemen fought the blaze. ' Weather Table By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS High Low Pr.

The three are Levi S. McDon aid, 52, and two twin Snyder brothers, Edward and Charles, 23. Dist. Atty. Winston Bradshaw said felony charges of injury to property by explosives will be presented against all three and a third degree arson charge also will be presented against McDonald. The Snyder brothers admitted the dynamiting of the trucks at the Wymore Transfer Co. Jan. 31 and said McDonald paid them to do it, sheriff's deputies said. Mc Donald insists he is innocent. McDonald is a member df the Stereotypers Union, which struck the Oregonian and Oregon Jour nal Nov. 10. Other union members observed the picket lines, but the newspapers have published joint ly at the Oregonian plant, using non-union and supervisory personnel. William Snyder, 19, brother of the other two, and Gerald Cou- zens, 20, were reported by Sheriff Francis Lambert . of Multnomah County as admitting they set off blasts the same night that des troyed four trucks in Portland. The three Snyders, Couzens and McDonald were indicted Saturday by a Multnomah County Grand Jury on charges of injury to prop erty by explosives ULn-ln lln,iftll!lln V I Oil C i nil Unit n-ill hni-n n cnpi'i.-il mpptini!
