The Great Fire at Bay Point

One of the worst lumber fires in California mill history was that which destroyed a great part of the yard of the Coos Bay Lumber Company at Bay Point, California, on July 16th last.

The accompanying picture gives a fine idea of the intensity of the conflagration, showing as it does the condition of the huge traveling steel crane that was in the center of the fire, and was totally destroyed, together with six million feet of lumber. The crane and all of its foundations were a total wreck

-This crane had a sweep of 140 feet overall, and traveled

Red Cedar Shingles

Mmufrcturcd By over a line 2300 feet long, handling most of the lumber, lath and shingles that are stocked at this point. The aver-. age stock of lumber kept here by the company is 35 to 4O million feet.

The new crane is being rapidly rebuilt, and will be in operation within 90 days. It is being built on a new piling foundation, and will be equal in size and capacity, and more thorough in its foundation construction, than the destroyed crane.

Bay Point.is the assembling, drying, dressing and distributing plant and yard for the huge sawmill plant of the Coos Bay Lumber Company at Marshfield, Oregon.
