Considerable interest has been created among
the lumber manufacturers of Minneapolis by
the recent introduction of q bill in the United
States senate. by the senator from Oregon, pro-
hiblting the deposit of sawdust, slabs or other
mill refuse in the rivers OF the country The
mill men pronounce the bill grossly unjust to
their interest, and will simply renew a con-
trovecsy which ragged fercely few years ago,
until experiments proved that the sawdust was
not an injury to navigation streams 1t Is
claimed that the passage Of the bill will be
strongly opposed by the numbering and other
interests which had not previovsly taken any
part in the fight
The Hoople steam roller Touring mill at
Lake Centre caught fire and was almost entire
" consumed, nothing remaining but the shell
of the building and part of the machinery on
the first floor, which ia badly damaged. By
the prompt and untiring efforts of our hose
companies and in spite of the piercing cold
weather, the engine was saved with but little
damage Tho total value of the property was
about $l6, eco. The loss is estimated at 80 OUO;
insured by A G. Whitney of this city in the
following companies: The California, 81, 500;
Springfield Fire and Marine, $500; Connect.
cut Fire, 81 $40: Orient l,5O0; American Fire
British, $1,000.
John Dancr, the man who was buried in
we'll at Waterford, Dakota county, and at last
accounts not yet taken out, was an old resident
Of Cannon Falls, and has had q somewhat
checkered career. There seemed to be no SAFE
ty for John, either above or below ground.
Last summer he was struck by lightning and
severely injured and stunned. Some seven
years ago, while blasting in a well blast
went off Prematurely, and John was taken out
more dead than alive, with one leg badly frac-
tured, AMI his face SO thoroughly blown full Of
powder that his countenance was forever after
changed to q dark blue. John has had score
or less Of similar adventures, and always
managed to come out alive.
