Z - The tenth inst.. after an absence of about two years, John Erickson arrived here from the state of Oregon where he 1s interested in’ pime Jands. Mr. Erickson is also interested in pine lands in this county. He is the builder and owner of the Bass Brook hotel. Last Tuesday a representative of ‘the St. Paul Daily Globe was among us soliciting subscribers for that paper. Two dollars paid for’ six month daily issue of the paper together with a valuable dictionary. Last Monday night the Bass Brook hotel barn, where Mr. Nelson, the proprietor, had seven or eight “long time” boarders’ trunks stored, was entered by breaking open the rear door and one of the trunks, belonging to a Lars Wergeland, was missing Tuesday morning the trunk was found on an unused road about 4o rods east of the school house by sume boys who reported the find to Mr. Nelson —as his name was on an address tag attached to the trunk. Later Mr. Gromboise, who lives close to the place, saw the trunk and brought it to his home for sate keeping, and where Mr. Nelson found it. The owner is being notified and as the trunk was partially filled with clothing, and those in a rummaged state, the chances are that some things were stolen out of it. A party who hung around the barn for three or four days previous to the thett, has disappeared very suddenly, but he is well known. H. H. Carrier, Henry Fermenick, Morris O’Brien, D. A. Dunn and M. Y. D. Long are the committee whose duty it shall be to arrange all matters pretaining to our celebration of July the fourth, They are to keep us in- formed from day to day till the proper day arrives, tell us how much cash to blow 1, solicit and answer all corre- spondence from balloon artists and firecrackermen, supervise the mann- facture and sale of ice cream and lemonade, that the former contains not te exceed 75 per cent corn starch and the later shall have, at least, one lemon mnd in one barrell of the pro- duct, to appoint one or more marshals of the day whose duty, mostly 1s to ride a horse, keep sober, to notice that to pay for their own drinks, to tell everbody ’tis anice day whether it is or not, to chew the rag among them- selves and still haye a smile fot [ill others, to not overlook a stranger and when .terpsichoring at the bowery, hot to dance more than four sets in succession with any other fellow’s best girl. About 4 p. m., the roth inst., fire broke out in the boiler room of the Dunn & Marcia saw mili, and inside { of tweaty minutes the struction about 150 ft. long by 100 ft. wide was burned to the ground ‘The first in- timation of any danger from fire was thave been a fire such as interest of some thirty-five brails of their product, which they are bring- when engineer Emerson Mitchel noticed a small blaze in the sawdust bank, close to the dutch oven, he im- mediately sounded an alarm by blow- ing the mill whistle and shut off the steam to stop the machinery. The mill was running its full capacity at the time, with a force of about 20 men inside the mill, some of whom barely escaped with their hves and some who attempted to. save their tools or even a coat or a hat were badly scorched about the hands and face. In fact it does not appear to the usual burning of wood. but an explosion which filled the interior of the mill with smoke, flamed in less time§than it takes to tell it. As soon as the alarm was given the fire engine and hose got to work to save the fire from getting into ‘the lumber and cedar yard and saving the company’s boarding house, store, office, barn and warehouse. A strong south wind was blowfng at the time and should the fire had headway or not have been confined to the mill, it is doubtful if a greater portion of the village could have been saved. ‘The fire engine did excelleut. work, better than was anticipated by many, till about 6:30] when it got out of kilter. An expert from Grand Rapids came here and discovered that a pin or bolt of seme |. kind had broken, after this was fixed a continual stream of water was kept on piles of buyning bank and sawdust till sunday night) Dunn & Marcia built the mill 5 years ago and oper- ated it every summer since. It con- sisted of a rotary, edger, trimmer and shingle outfit all of which was in op- eration up to the time of the fire. In addition was a lath machine and a planer and re-saw was to bd putin commission shortly, There was also stored in the mill a lot of unused machinery such as pulleys, belting and all sorts of “extras” which with the active machinery, except the boiler, is practicly total loss of about $10,000, No insurance. In all proba- bilities the firm will build again on a more modern plan as they have about 2,000,000 feet of logs, to saw. Most of the timber is hard wood and tama- arac and cannot be floated any dis- tance beyond this point.
