There is serious talk, of organizing some kind of a fire department or at least some system of order that could be.called into immediate use in cases of emergency. Rice River flows directly in front of the town at only a short distance from many of the build- ings and could be utilized if properly arranged appliances were instilled. A new gasoline boat has been floated upon the Big Fork river this week. This is getting to be quite a shipping center and marine dock, and every once in a while you see a man going through town with a genuine sailor swager about him; this does not prove that he necessarily must be a. sailor however. The work on the eastern terminus of the Plum creek road has com- menced and is going to be put through in spite of the opposition of a few thoughtless settlers who think that there is no one else on earth but them- selves. The Plum creek people are anxiously looking forward to the com- pletion of the road, and if any settle- ment is in need of a road it is the Plum creek settlement. It is understood that the Itasca company ‘will give the people a siding as soon as the road 1s cut to the track. This 1s very recom- mendable of the company and the people appreciate it. This will, no doubt, be the commencement of a town sight, and so far there has been no hair pulling. A disastrous fire visted our hittle town at half past one Saturday morn- ing, destroying two of the largest and best hotelesaloons in the village. These buildings were owned by Oscar Lind and J. M. Jones and both were new buildings and well equiped for their line of business. Oscar Lind’s building was only just completed last fall and was a modern and expensive building. These buildings were only partly covered by insurance and both Mr. Lind and Mr. Jones feel their loss keenly as but very little of the pro- perty was saved. It is not known how the fire originated; it was discovered on the second floor of Mr. Lind’s building and, spread rapidly being faned by a gentle breeze, thus defying all attempts of the citizens to quench the lapping tongues of flames that reached higher and higher as the fire progressed. The citizens worked hard and bravely but it was of little ad- vantage, altho they kept the fire from Mr. Jone’s building for two hours when it finally burst into flames and soon lay a mass of ruins, ‘his is the second disaster that visited our village and it leaves a gapping hole in our town, a painful sight to the people. It is not known whether these build- ings will be rebuilt or not, but it is very likely that they will. Big Fork is too progressive a village to allow J. F. Renyels is here looking after his farm, even as large a calamity as this last one to upset her equaninity for long. WRRWECRDRDRUCRCRERURTRTECETURUEURUUVEUEUY $12.50 T me4i 0 “i O $16.50 IN TOWN.
