GREAT WORK BY OUR FIREMEN Building Was a Tinder Box in a Solid Block of Frame Build- ings. Fire at Bowden’s Saturday Evening. Last Thursday morning while Shook & Boorman were running the planing mill at their shop fire caught about the smoke stack and almost before the alarm could be given the entire back end of the building was in flames. The fire department were on the ground in record time and ina moment had four streams playing on the burning structure, but it was apparent from the start tbat the plant could not be saved, and the men sensibly gave their attention to keeping the fire within the burning building and pretecting the adjacent structures. The mill stood in the centre of the block which is filled with frame structures, the nearest of which was but a scant ten feet. away and the firemen had their work cut out for them from the start. The heat was intense and many of the boys’ had their bats and clothing scorched yet they never faltered and kept the fire down to such an extent that at no time was there any real danger to the row. While the Shook & Bocrman plant is a total] loss the work of the department was perfect and tov much praise can not be given our volunteer department. The building was a two-story frame structure 50x125 feet in extent. and was occupied by Shook & Boorman a: a planing mill, woodworking and blacksmithing shop, and by James the mill to be planed, lost about $1,000. James Passard saved most of his stock of confectionery, but his logs is about $100. Jack Stafford lost $50.in barber supplies. John Baudry, who maintains a saloon next door, lost about $150, covered by insurance. E. A. Briggs lost $30 through the destruction of his shooting gallery. The Costello & Dibbert and the Mohr and Dibbert buildings were slightly damaged, and E. A. Lefebvre’s resi- dence was damaged to the amount of about $150, fully insured. Shook & Boorman carried insurance on their property to the amount of $2,500. Saturday night about 10o’clock fire was discovered at the residence of Frank Bowden on Houghton avenue and an alarm turned in. The depart- ment responded promptly but a broken hydrant lost precious time and, while the building was not entirely destroyed, its contents were. Mr. Bowden had but recently married and his home was tastily furnished and he and his wife lost all but the clothes they had on. The origin of the fire is a mystery as there had been no fire in the house all day and Mr. and Mrs. Bowden ,were absent from home. It is supposed that an opep window and fireworks caused the loss which will amount to $1200 on build- ingand $800 on contents. Mr. Bow- den had no insurance and Keo Lerue who owns the building carried $1200 in Mr. Bolter’s agency. At the Shook & Boorman fire the lack of pressure was very apparent and but for the Paper company attaching their pump and thus giving adequate pressure, the entire row might have burned. It is said that the hydrant at Bowden’s place bas been broken for many months. If so, the council] should investigate. Mike McAlpine came dangerously near getting crushed when the cement chimney fell at Shook & Boorman’s. The entire absence of any wind last Thursday was a big factor in keeping the fire confined to the one building. George Shook is cleaning up the ruins ef the old shop but has not fully decided as to rebuilding. The only and original Bob and Eva McGinley are showing in the towns Passard as a confectionery store. |to the north of us and may be expect- Shook & Bcorman estimate their loss Owners of lumber left at the season. av $8,000. ed in Grand Rapids before the end of Seeseeeestesenese® daca cic chaccechdiececiedeaieechmietatadadededeted 4 “Everything That Is New” Grand Rapids - H.

A PERFECT DAY AND CELEBRATION No Accident Mars the Pleasures jof the Occasion and We © Enjoy a Safe and Sane Fourth. Last Saturday was a perfect da: and not a cloud or accident marre its perfection. From early morning the town was given over to the spirit of the day and the Eagles may well fee] proud of the success of the cele- bration so ably carried out under their direction. The city band made its appearance early and in conjunc tion with the visiting Dvluth post military drum and fife corps kept the big crowd “‘gingered up” all day and added not a little to the pleasures of the occasion. The celebration proper opened ai ten o’clock with the very best ral Grand Rapids ever had. The variou floats were artistically draped and decorated and while this feature was not as complete as should be was mucb appreciated by the spectato The ball game in the afternoon tween Deer River and Grand Rapi was largely attended and was intepse- ly interesting from start to finish, and Grand Rapids won by a score of 4to3. This was the best played ball so far this season in Grand Rapids.

It does not fal] to the lot of many law firms to be oblidged to combat a district court and its judge in legal proceedings to obtain its end, but Lancaster & McGee of Minneapolis have that distinction, having fre- vailed in the supreme court of Idaho against William W. Woods, district judge, and the district court of Idaho, thereby securing the removal of a receiver in the two million dollar re- ceivership of the B. R. Lewis Lumber company. a The story is of further local inter- est, because of the fact that a suit for $40,000 has just been brought in the district court of Hennepin county, with Burt P. Munson, a creditor on notes to the amount of $70,000, as the plaintiff in the case, and 14 lumber companies owing the Lewis company being named as garnishees in as many garnishment cases to recover the money they owe. The B. R. Lewis Lumber company was formerly a Minnesota corporation that went to Washington and there incorporated again. It operates a large saw mill at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Its indebtness amounts to half a mil- lion dollars with alleged assests of nearly two millions. On April 11, at the request of the company, the Exchange National bank of Coeur d’Alene a creditor to the extent of $65,000, brought a suit in the Idaho district court and by consent of both parties, Erank B.

Young and by Captain S. P. Snider. The convention wasa record-breaker in its early stages for speed and for enthusiasm. There were roars of a p- plause for Jacobson at every stage and also for his magnanimous rivals. Every nomination was by acclamation until theend of the ticket was reached. A ballot was then necessary on rail- road commission, as the friends of J. H. Grass put up a stubborn fight against the slate. Charles E. Elm- quist andIra B. Mills were nominated, receiving 857 and 712 votes, respec- tively, to 469 for Grass and 132 for A. C. Aady. After this came a little disagree- ment on the county option feature of the platform.
