Nearly all the business portion of Anoka.
MIMI, was destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning. The flames started abouttwo o'clock
IN prlyy adjoining Van De Welde Il Pages
roller skating rink, and when first seen were
spreading up the hill toward the high school.
The efforts Of fremen and Volunteers to par-
row the course Of the confagration were un-
awaiting. Every piece of wood, every box and
plank, fences, blinds and cornices were as dry
az q bone, and instantly caught fire as the
naming current approached
2 nre showed no signs of stopping as long
as there was anything for it to feed on, and it
cut o clean sWath 10 the river, taking ia its
course the magnificent Washburn Touring mills
as well as the opera house, block, First Nation
al bank building, and four score bulldogs.
some of them finer buildings than are usually
70 De seen In such q small city as this. There
was no partial damage except to one building
the school house. All the rest are total loss.
AS Anoka now looks there is a wide level gap
from the bridge north to the court house. ex-
cept the standing ruins of the First National
BaEk the Opera House block and the tall,
round chimney OF the Lincoln mill A rough
estimate OF the figures foot up as follows:
Buildings burned, IS; loss on buildings, $34l.-
$50; loss on contents, $277 $40. Insurance on
buildings $l9l $50; insurance on contents. $124.-
go; total loss, s629,19O; total insurance, $685.,
w. ID. Washburn's loss was roughly estima-
'Su w h1h Nv TlfO,UOU, WIN 1I4O, UDU lQSuT-
ance. The principal buildings destroyed, be-
sides Mr.. Washburn's are Jackson's Hotel,
Anoka Club House, Anoka Bank, r. Taylor's
store, Bean a. Guderain's store, A. L. Ticknor's
stores; Ii. l. Plummer's stores; j. A. Foote'S
buildings, skating rink, Postofice Block. OF
these buildings destroyed, is were on Jackson
street; l33 on Maine street; and other on
Monroe street and others, besides those on the
river bank.
Steam engines from St Paul and Min
neapolis were sent by rail to Anoka and
rendered effective service in staying the flames,
though the destruction had been accomplished
previous to their arrival The Mississippi river,
crossed by a handsome wagon bridge, is one
mile west of the city and its tributary, the Rum
river, runs through and pretty equally divides
the corporation through the business portion.
Where the destruction occurred is north of the
Rum. In 1870 Anoka had not more than 1000
inhabitants now a fair and low estimate is
1900, and with its street cars, electric lights,
and other metropolitan paraphernalia, the city
incorporated in 1879 has an air of activity i'm
pressiye and surprising.
