Dr. Blakeslee, county physi- cian, reports that there are at present seventeen cases of small- pox in Beltrami county, and that several others are being guarded and watched for developments. All of the patients are in the county pest house, where they receive every care and attention. Unusual care is taken in hand- ling these cases, sothat there can be no possible chance of con- tagion. Most of the cases are found in lumber camps north of Bemidji. The sufferers with the disease are driven overland to the pest house, and speedily taken care of. No quarantine of the patient is allowed, out be is taken at once to the pest house, and the camp where found is quarantined the customary time, in order to prevent the spread of the disease. Dr. Blakeslee returned this morning from a trip seven miles west of Shooks Spur, where he went to investigate an alleged case of smallpox. Sell Ties to N. P. Railway.

Big Falls, Dec. 19.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—A building belong- ing to Eugene Marquies was total- ly destroyed by fire last night, at 10:45 o’clock shortly after the arrival of the M, & [. passenger train from the south. The building was occupied by Joseph Wise, and was supposed to be a sporting resort. There was one part of the building, on the second floor, that was unused, and the fire startad in that por- tion. The flames had gained such headway when discovered that it was impossible to check them, and the location of the re- sort was such that the fire de- partment was unable to get the fire engine to the scene, and the structure was burned to the ground without any possible chance of extinguishing the flames. The fire raged so fiercely that everything in the place, .ex- cept the piano and a few person- al effects of the occupants, was consumed. The inmates of the resort barely made their escape from the burning building, most of them running out into the snow but scantily attired, with no shoees on. The origin of the fire was un- doubtedly incendiary, as a hauger-on about the place bhad threatened several times to set fire to the house. The building was covered with sheet-iron and finished inside and out. It is estimated that the loss on the building and contents was $7,000. It is not known whether - any insurance was carried‘on-either the building. or the contents. Rev. Higgins Cheerful. Rev. Frank E. Higgins, yclept the “Lumberjick Sky Pilot,” left this morning for Rockford, Minn., where he will spend Christmas with his family. Be- fore leaving, Rev. Higgins said: “I leave with a light heart, pre- pared to thoroughly enjoy the glad Xmas time. Everything in the woods looks more promis- ing than ever before since I have been engaged in my present work., Merry Christmas to™ all of you, and especially to the boys in the camps.” Plant Working Nicely. J. M. Phillippi, superintendent of the county poor farm, states that the _steam-heating plant recently nstalled in the main building at the poor ‘‘farm,” is now in ‘“apple-pie” order, and thatit is working nicely. For the first day after the plant bad been completed, there were the usual shortcomings of a mnew system, but these were speed- ily remedied and now there is warmth and comfort.

Itis estimated that the pine will acale abouu 400,000 feet. Mr. Maria will land the logs on Lake Bemidji, a short distance above the mill, which will give him a haul of only a short distance over a mile. The timber stands nicely, and with the short haul, the job will be a desirable one to handle. Mr, Marin began his prelimin- ary work today and expects to rush the cutting from now on until completed.
