the DeSteiger Co. are paying at La Sale or the
Streator works at Streator. Nevertheless these
mines will be valuable to Ottawa. The coal is as

opening Of these mines will make competition

coal men have never attempted or rintimatcd that
they would attempt anything like extortion or
unreasonableness in prices Of coal. These mines
will efectually take the wind out OF the sails of

the alarm was given both cribs were mass OF
flame, bursting forth from top and sides. In IA
couple OF minutes more the flames burst oni
from the warehouse which had been roaring

promptly as usual, with both steamers in splen-

a fearfully hot one-burniug grain and hard
wood timbers, while the sparks flew alarmlngly.
Fortunately, during the afternoon there had
been a good rain, and roofs were wet. Across
the canal to the east were piles and piles of lum
