OF prime railroad lands there yet re-

from New Jersey have recently pur-
chased secondhand farm near town

THE MILL DISASTER.

On our outside will be found an ac-
count of the terrible mill disaster which
occurred ut Minneapolis Thursday eve
ming last. An explosion occurred in
the great Washburn Mill, and immed,-
ately following came another explosion
which crushed the Thompson & IIoyt
and Humboldt Mills adjoining, leaving
the three mills in ruins. The crushed
mills were soon in flames which spread
to the Galaxy and Petit & Robinson
Mills, and the whole five structures
were destroyed. The mills were among
the finest in the world and contained
81 run of stona. The loss of life is es-
timated at II and the loss Of property
ut 81 SOC, 900. The amount of window
glass destroyed in the vicinity is esti-
mated at $4,000. The shock was 50
distinctly felt in st. Paul that citizens
Of that city thought the explosion had
occurred in their own midst. Two
men who were rowing on the river at
st. Paul, nine miles away, say the riv-
err was so agitated as to fill their shells
with water.
The theory is that the gases and fine
dust of. the mill ignited, causing the
terrible calamity. The explosion oc-
CURED about O'Clock in the evening
when only the night force was on duty.
II it had occurred before 6 O'Clock the
loss Of life would have been much
greater.
Some express the opinion that the
explosion was not an accident but the
result Of well-laid plan to destroy the
mills. The facts that an explosion &C.
Cured in three separate mills simulta-
neonsly. and that it occurred just at
the time when the fewest men were
likely to be in the mills, give some COL
oring Of probability to this theory.

e. l.. Hall, who is writing up the
country for the st. Paul Globe, Farm
er's Union, AID other papers, does full
justice to Wortllington. From his let
ters we extract:
The town claims population of from
five to seven hundred. She has her
large good school building, Congrega-
tional, Presbyterian and Methodist
churches, United States land office, e.
evator and Touring mill, the latter con-
tanning five run Of burrs, four or five
hotels of various styles and capacities,
q court house, two weekly newspapers,
the largest depot OH the line, the neces-
sary goods houses, lumber yards and
other concomit;tnts, in addition to the
usual number of professional gentle
men- lawyers, doctors and gospel ex-
FOUNDERS. Many OF these new towns
have from one to three lakes each, ap-
proximating their borders, where tile
inhabitants Can gather ice in winter
and navigate their waters in summer.
WOrthington has it's west and east o.
kabenas, the former six miles in cir
conference and the latter three. They
are two pretty bodies of water. and H.
bound in fish and fowl. These enter
prising people propose to establish q
pleasant driveway for carriages quite
around the larger lake, and adorn it
with row Of trees on each of the sides.
thus affording pleasure parties and the
towns-people 4 pleasant place for recre-
alton. Less than two miles away is
another lake, the Ocheetla, a body Of
water about twenty miles in circumfer-
ence.
Of some of our business men. he
says:
The Okabena Touring mill is one of
the interesting enterprises of the town.
Its capacity is hundred barrels of
flour III twenty-four hours, motor,
steam; fuel, hay; and the furnace con
sumes about seven tons of hay in the
manufacture of one hundred barrels of
flour. A man and boy run the engine
and do the firing. The hay. is of course
slough article, costing, loose laid down,
81 IS per ton. 1t is fed to the flames
with il pitchfork, and that operation is
all work and no play. There is no lack
| OF tire, but it requires a vast amount OF
st"tling. That kind of fuel is mucl,
cheaper than any other they can Get
here. It costs less than simply The
freight OH wood, and the latter article
is not more than s. or So per cord for
the best seasoned hard maple, deliver
ed. Some families use twisted hav for
heating their cooking stoves and warm
ing their babitations. 1t makes a hot
fire. and i'll a hay country like this it is
far more economical than wood or coal.
These mills have four run OF stone for
wheat and one for feed, of which the
latter is turning out two hundred bush
els per day. In connection with the
mill is an elevator having a capacity of
twenty thousand bushels. The two
properties are owned by e. Z. Sut ton,
and cost in the aggregate about So.
