Those who burn wood should understand
well that the escaping steam from burning
green wood carries Oh in a latent state. A
large part of the heat produced: that a cord
of dry wood supplies as much heat for use as
two cords of green wood that two cords Of
some kinds of wood when dry have no more
weight To be hauled than one cord of green.
Therefore the prudent man will, this winter,
have years supply OF wood all cut and split
ard ready to use.

The boiler of the saw mill owned and
operated by Mr.. Lewis Keller, and To-
Gated in the woods near Mr.. Jacob
Burners, about a mile and half west
of this place, blew up on Friday last.
The explosion was tremendous in Its
force, tearing the massive boiler to
pieces aud hurlng them to great dis
tances. But for the fact that the hands
had just gone to dinner we would have
had terrible tragedy to chronicle, as
the principle force OF the explosion was
right over the station of the hands.
One portion of the boiler about seven
feet long, swept with terrible force d.
rectly across the mill, fracturing the
saw, headblocks, sc. in It's passage
then struck blackjack tree tearing 1t
up by the roots, twisting aud breaking
it at the point Of contact as a man
would break willow switch. Ituext
struck large oak cutting it about half
way off, the ends of the fues plough
ing through like gigantic augers, then
striking severala other trees, lodged IN
tie ground. The outer covering OF
the flrebox was tora to fragments
which with the nuts and bolts were
thrown in every direction, some Of them
piercing the boards of fence close by
like grape shot. The main portion oil
the firebox with the heavy axle and
wheels was driven through a large
pile of slabs to a distance of "a
bout fifty or sixty feet. The dome
with portion Of the boiler attached
was hurled clear Of the woods ADD
landed on a hill in a grain field about
one hundred aud sevenIy-fiYe yards
from the place of explosion. Many OF
the flues were bent and broken and
were gathered up from every part OF the
surrounding woods. We haye heard a
number Of causes assigned for the ex-
plosion, such as low water, formation
OF gas sc, but from all we can learn
the boiler was defective by having been
frozen up hard when filled aud strained
until the plates surrounding the freboX
we're very perceptably buckled out be-
tween all the staybolts. We don't
pretend to be experts in such things
but do hope to be working at the dinner
table about 'twenty miles away" wher
the next boiler goes up.

The increased number effectiveness

. e .
The increased number Of residences
and other business houses indicates
increased prosperity of our town. This
indication may prove to be correct or
it may not. Ifthere continue to be a
demand for more labor, houses will be
10 demand and larger number Will be
erected, giving employment to many Of
our mechanics. But should the demand
for labor decrease. families will be com.
pelled to move out of the town, houses
will be empty and real estate will
Jepr eciate In value. How can this be
prevented? Only by giving profitable
employment to all Of our citizens VINO
desire employment. II we wish 10
succeed we must manufacture. Small
factories that supply only home de-
mand, keep money that would ether
wise 60 to other places in our COM
munity. They enable men to make a
living and thus have tendency 10 in-
crease the population Of the town.
These small factories of every discrlp-
ton should be fostered and encouraged.
It is true, we could see more beneficial
effects from large manufactures en-
blowing a large number ofhands and
distributing large amount OF money
These enterprises require an amount OF
capital, which every community cannot
supply, and a spicits Of enterprise which
10 say the least, is scarce. ~
We may not be able to establish a
large shoe factory which will bring
money from all sections Of the Union
end compete with the old established
factories, but we cas support small
ones that meet local de mand.
We have every facility for the man
ufacture Of cigars that other towns
possess. Why could not eight or ten
hands be employed in this business: A
small amount of capital and a little
enterprise would do the work.
brooms could be manufactured al
home.
We have the facilities for good
tannery. For years we had none, now
we have the business started. Let US
talk up these enterprises. It will do
GOOD to hear each others opinions upon
the subject, and may resultin increased
prosperity to the town and TO tue sur
