Fire Damages Minong Store and Post Office

The Adams building at Minong was damaged considerably by a fire which broke 
out Tuesday night, November 21 (1939).  The fire started in the offices used 
by A. E. Adams.  The ranger fire fighting equipment was called and their 
assistance kept the fire from spreading to other parts of the building.

Mr. Adam suffered a loss of valuable files and papers and the interior of his 
offices were damaged.  The store and post office which are located in the 
front of the building were only slightly damaged by smoke and water.  The 
loss was covered by insurance.
