Hood River Flour Mill Destroyed By Midnight Fire
A blaze at 145 Sunday morning wiped out the Hood River flour mill, a key local industry. Investigators suspect a break in and attempted safe theft as the fire origin, while water power and multiple fire units struggled to contain the flames. The mill’s loss runs about 55 expected through insurance, with railroad property damage near 1,000. The structure, save for the south grain room, was consumed as firefighters battled the blaze from several hydrants and hose carts.
