Mill Burned: No Insurance, Losses Counted in Thousands

A saw mill owned by I N Eason burned early Friday between 2 and 3. Neighbors aided a force of over thirty men but drought and dry wells left little water. Most structures were destroyed though about 300000 feet of lumber in the yards was saved. Eason declined to name the loss but the foreman said it could not be replaced for 2000.

Officials in transportation circles expect rivals to match cuts to preserve the differential, while clerks fear lowered running costs.
