Oat Mills Plant in Missoula Burns to Ground
A disastrous fire destroyed the four story wooden Oat Mills plant in Missoula, built in 1894 by J. C. Hermann and owned by the Missoula Mercantile company. The blaze started inside on the ground floor and spread rapidly, with no adequate water supply until a late stream could reach it. The Chapman and Merron U S Geological Survey party equipment stored there was destroyed, and the incident is described as incendiary in origin possibly by tramps, with limited insurance and major property loss.
