PACKING HOUSE AND STORAE IS BURNED DOWN

F. H. HOGUE’S PLANT AT NEW PLYMOUTH A TOTAL LOSS.  PARTIAL COVERED BY INSURANCE.

The large packing house and storage building at New Plymouth belonging to F. H. 
Hogue was a total loss by fire on last Friday evening.  While an exact check 
has not yet been completed, it is a conservative estimate that there were 
between 18 and 20 car loads of apples in the two buildings that were also a 
total loss.  The fire from an unknown cause broke out in the roof about eight 
o’clock in the evening while the night crew were at work, and was soon 
discovered and gallant work with the means at hand was done to save the 
property but to no avail.  Both fire departments from Ontario and Payette 
responded to the call for help but by the time they arrived it was too late to 
be much service, except to save other buildings nearby.  He loss is estimated 
at $15,000 to $18,000.  The buildings were insured and also some insurance 
carried on the contents. 

Mr. Hogue’s operations were only detained for a very short time as he had 
previously secured space for basket storage in another large packing house and 
storage which he is now using.
