Fire destroys coal shed at Yoda Palmners Elevator
A spontaneous blaze in the coal bin at Palmners Elevator in Yoda burned the coal shed and side structures last Friday afternoon. With no water nearby, neighbors, a tractor, and an iron cable moved burning materials to create distance from the elevator. South winds helped spare the elevator, but substantial coal losses remain and a guard is kept to prevent sparks. Nearby cars were moved to safety. the fire caused major economic damage to the elevator and local threshing supplies. The report also notes the C B and Q Railway’s stance on dress among its 3,000 women employees, calling for modest attire and banning certain fashion items.
