Kendrick Fire Last Night Devastates Kendrick Yard Area
A late night blaze in Kendrick destroyed or damaged multiple properties in the Northern Pacific yards. Tacoma Grain Company's warehouse and Dan Hunter lumber yard were among the losses, along with Frank LaBole’s barn, Star restaurant, Myers blacksmith shop, Lincoln Hardware store, and the Northern Pacific roundhouse. The depot survived after efforts by residents and firefighters. Estimated losses exceed 5600 dollars, mostly insured. A 250 pound powder blast from the blacksmith shop caused shattered windows and stopped town clocks. The fire prompted a shell of emergency responses, with the Northern Pacific sending a relief engine though no outside help was needed. The town, already rebuilding after a 1893 fire, pressed on with brick construction as insurance covered most losses. City Treasurer Miss Sadie Poe relocated to the northwest city hall room with a new desk. Also reported: a local Typographical Union chapter formed in Lewiston with officers Leary, Hetzel, McCoy, and McDonald, starting with fourteen members.
