ANoKA. Minn., April pa large amount of
lumber, between eight hnndre-aa thousand and
one million feet, belonging to Pratt & Rhines
of Princeton, was burned here last night. The
fire is supposed to be the work of an incen-
diary. The lumber burned stood in close
proximity to the main yard of the Anoka lum-
ber mills, and also to their planning mill and
saw mill, all of which would certainly have
burned had it not been for the timely use of
our steamer, which did good work and efectu-
ally checked the flames and kept the FIRE from
spreaiing. As far az can be ascertained there
was no insurance on the lumber burned.
