Fire destroys Western Oregon Lumber Co mill at Linnton
A blaze swept five acres destroying the Western Oregon Lumber Co mill at Linnton, wiping out the entire plant and causing extensive losses. More than 100 workers were left jobless as the fire raged for hours, with insurance estimated at about 75,000 dollars of a total 150,000 dollar loss. Fire crews struggled to contain the flames as the mill, built in 1909 and completed recently, burned toward the wharf and lumber yard, with the boiler room and most machinery destroyed. The firm operates a yard at Arleta and ships product by rail. The fire, first spotted by nightwatchman B C Morris, began around 7 p.m. and burned until after 10 p.m., with salvage efforts focused on metal and remaining structures. Officials expect possible reopening within 90 days pending loss assessment.
