Oldest MiH In State Burns

The Wilmot Grist mill a waler power mill owned by James Stump of Wilmot said to be the oldest mill in the state was destroyed by fire at 7:30 o’clock Monday evening. The flames were beyond control when discovered by the boys who were swimming in the mill raceback of the mill which is fed by the Tippecanoe River. * The fire is attributed to spontaneous combustion. The bin was filled with grain and there were cuttings and grindings on the second floor. The mill had been closed down for the past several weeks for repalrs.. Smoke was pouring from the northwest corner of the building when the fire was discovered. The fire department from Cromwell was called.

Mr. Stump who had owned the mill for the past ten yvears was in Warsaw at the time of the fire and upon his arrival home was so overcome by the destruction of his property that it was necessary to call Dr. Nye of Cromwel] to attend him. | 4 : The mill which was a three story building was built in. 1852 by the late Jacob Reider. Mr. Stump took over the mill from J. L. Scot ten years ago. Since its construction 78 years ago the mill had been in operation continuously until this summer when it was necessary .to close down for repairs. : v >

The owner ‘carried insurance in the Elkhart Mutual Company but not enough to cover the loss it was stated by the owner. The building will not be rebuilt.

The destruction of the mill was the second fire suffered by Mr. Stump in the past few months. The Stump home a five room dwelling in Wilmot was destroyed by fire last February. The fire department was called from Cromwell but the flames were beyond the control of the firemen.

Chevrolet News

Chevrolet Motor Company has just completed one of the largest and finest inland docks on the Great Lakes. It was put into use recently when a lake freighter entered the Saginaw river with a cargo of pig iron for the Chevrolet foundry there. The ship’s arrival signalled this city’s entry into the list of modern inland ports an dthe completion of the dock augments Chevrolet’s already enormous facilities. » .

Several years ago Chevrolet officials began a study of water transportation tacilities for the company’s Saginaw foundry. It was decided that benefits could -be gained and a development plan involving the construction of a dock, a turning basin and dredging of the Saginaw river was worked out. Operations began last year. While the dock was under econstruction a

turning basin capable of turning a 500-foot boat was dredged -the river was dug to a mean depth of 7 feet. The latter project is the factor which linked Saginaw with the Great Lakes for heavy freight transportation. Twice a week while navigation permits freighters bearing pig iron and sand will steam up the once too shallow waterway. ; L

The dock, according to Chevrolet officials will be adequate for years, It is 800 feet long, of concrete construction and has a storage capacity of nearly 100,000 tons. Unloading is done by two 30-ton cranes which have an unloading capacity of 200 tons an hour. A 30-ton locomotive crane is used for transferring the raw material from the dock to freight cars, which link the dock with the plant about a quarter of a mile away. ’

Because of the great storage capacity of the dock, enough raw material will be brought by water each year to hold over the winter months when lake navigation is closed. Thus economies will be affected, which in accordance ‘with Chevrolet principles are always shared with the motorist in the shape of better automobiles.

BLAME PARENTS FOR LAXITY 110 Child Marriages Reported By State Attendance Officer Blanche ; Merry

Parents were blamed for the 110 child marriages reported by Miss Blanche Merry state attendance officer in a tabulation of pupils under the age of 16 years that left school during the first semester of the past school year. ‘

The number is 0065 per cent of the total enrollment in 92 counties and 42 cities. Only 657 had employment certificates and all of them were nearly 16 years old. .
