by the Moors 1t did not reach England I'M
til within the last two hundred and fifty years,
but just in time to come over with some Of
the earliest settlers in America. 1t was first
cultivated by the Hudson River Dutch. and
by the Swedes ON the Delaware. Tho Dutch
mention it as carly as 1926, and from what
they say on the subject it is quite certain they
knew as much about buckwheat cakes as was
ever worth knowing. From these two CEN
tres of early settlement, the cultivation spread
over New York, New Jersey, and Penn
sylvania, following the colonists into the new
homes they cleared up in the forest as certain
as the bee follows in the pathway Of the West
ern pioneer, making its homo wherever the
white man builds his cabin. These three
States have always been immense producers
Of buckwheat, growing two-thirds Of the
whole quantity raised-now amounting to
many million bushels annually.

The Fire Ficud.

This county has suffered great loss
rom the fires prevailing in the woods in
different sections during the past week.
We hear of vast quantities of pine and
other lands being burned over, fences
destroyed, &c. Last Tuesday night,
about six hundred cords Of wood upon
the banks of Black river were consumed.
The wood belonged to ThempseR Smith,
Bul,en & Nelson and II. nj. Lathrop.
Mr.. Smith being the heaviest loser. Mr..
Smith has been obliged to shut down his
mills twice this week to fight the flames,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that the mills and lumber were saved.
Fortunately the wind changed and avert
ed the danger. Black river. Wednesday
we are informed, was completely cover
ed with cinderS. The whole atmosphere
has been filled with smoke all the week.
Wednesday the fire burnt out McAulay
81 Lynns camp, a short distance down
the shore, destroying most of its contents,
all that was, saved was done by
throwing it into the water. Charles
Crosby, who was in their employ, lost
nearly all his personal effects.

There is general complaint on the
part of those managing steam crafts on
account of the s.wdust floating in the
river. They cannot use their pumps
without having them filled with the saw
dust. The propeller Lowell was delayed
here Thursday morning over an hour on
this account, the sawdust stopping her
pump from working. They were obliged
to take it to pieces and clean it out, and
then were compelled to put out into
clear water before they could make it
work successfully. This is certainly a
great annoyance, and we cannot blame
those interested for complaining. Some
thing should be done to avoid this. Ma
jor F. HARDWOOD, of the Z. S. engineers
who visited our harbor this
week in reference TO the ex-
penditure of the appropriation
for dredging this season. says that it will
be necessary for the village authorities to
take some action in regard to the matter,
for the U. S. government will not ex-
pend money for re-dredging, and that in
all probability the present appropriation
will be all that will be expended in
dredging. Any future appropriation, he
thinks, will be used i'm the construction
of a pier. If we expect to have harbor
here, we think it highly important that
some means should be adopted to prevent
the channel dred ged by the government
from being filled up; and if we desire
boats to land at this port. the river must
be kept in condition so that they can
come in without having their pumps
clogged up every time with floating saw
dust.

Drowned.

Last Thursday Mr.. Robert, SON of SUI
pervisor John Heaphy, of Duncan, a
young man who was we'll and favorably
known to many of our citizens, met his
death by being drowned in Burt lake.
AS near as We can learn the particulars
OF the sud occurrence, they were as fol-
lows: Young Heaphy, with COM
panion, went down to the lake to battle.
His companion not being able to swim,
remained near the shore i'm shallow
water. Mr.. Heaphy being an expert
swimmer, got into boat and rowed out
some forty or fifty rods from the shore
to deep water. and was seen by his COM
panion to leap from the boat into the
water. Some time elapsed without his
seeing anything of Mr.. Heaphy, but
knowing that he could swim we'll and
| surprising that the boat interviewed be-
tween them he felt no uneasiness at first,
but the time being prolonged without
his seeing or hearing anything of him,
lie began to grow uneasy. and seeing a
couple Of young men coming Along in a
boat. he spoke to them about it, and they
rowed out to where the boat was that
Mr.. Heaphv had been in, and, seeing
nothing of him, they commenced search
ing, and shortly found his body lying on
its face i'm the bottom of the lake, in
about six feet of water, with life extinct.
1t is presumed that the deceased was at.
thus resulting in the loss of his life. Mr..
Heaphy is spoken of in the highest terms
by those intimately acquainted with him,
and his loss will be deeply felt in the
family AMI amoag his intimate associates.

We understand that it has been fully
decided TO construct track on the
grounds belonging to the Horse associa-
ton. Last Tuesday County surveyor
Humphrey. assisted by w. S. Humphrey
Chas. Smolk, DR.. L. A. Perrin, w. De-
vine and others, laid out the track. and
all were well pleased with the location
and the general opinion was that good
track could be made for much less
amount than had been supposed, there
being very few stumps standing to inter.
fere with the makings.ofa track as laid
out. DIR. Perrin was very successful in
getting subscriptions toward its con
struction, having received subscriptions
to the amount of eighty dollars in money
fourteen days of team work and several
days of labor, on the strength OF this
those interested concluded to 60 to work
at once and complete the track. Mr.
Smolk is to superintend the making
OF the track, and having had considera-
bic experience in such matters knows
inst how it should be done. II is expect
ed that the track will be completed and
in condition for trial of speed on the
Fourth of July. We understand that
quite a number Of our citizens, in addi-
ton to the subscriptions made, have
agreed to take season tickets, which will
give them the use of the track for the
purpose of training their horses. 1t is
proposed to construct track of a half
mile in circumference and forty feet wide
and those who know, claim that the soil
will enable as good track to be made as
there is in the state.
Those interested in this matter, we are
informed, intend holding county fail
this coming fall, which will give the citi-
zens of our county an opportunity to
show what can be raised in section that
to greater portion of the outside world
is considered to be almost polar region
suitable for cultivating iceberSs rather
than cereals. We are confident that
yearly exhibits by the agricultural pro
ducts of the county will do more to dis
pei such false ideas than anything else
that could be done and we hope to see
the matter taken hold of with energy
and determination to make it a success
and hope that our farming friends will
take pride in endeavOring to make 4
good display of their products, and feel
sure that they will be amply repaid tor
their trouble.
