The lumber companies whose plants were destroyed were the Acme Lumber Company and the Holmes Planing Mill Company, Sixth and Hooper streets. The blaze originated in the carpenter shop of the Acme and shavings and small sticks of woq4 were afire when John Gustavson, the night watchman, saw smoke, coming through a window. By the time the first alarm- had been turned in the flame's had spread to the woodwork and the flimsy structure was a caldron of, fire.

CAUSED BY COMBUSTION. Spontaneous combustion is supposed to have kindled a spark in the shavings. Three alarms were turned In and Chief Thomas Murphy took personal charge. The fire tugs David Scannell and Dennis Sullivan steamed up the channel and aided the engines in getting water on the flames. The fire spread quickly to the planing mills of both the Acme and Holmes Company and the drying kiln of the former concern ould not be saved, although firemen did their best to wet down the structure, which was directly in the path of the flames.
