Holcombe streets.
The new mill being built by Turnbull &
Blaclman, just south of the city, is getting
its foundation put in. They have had
trouble in getting a pile driver, but they in
tend to rush the building forward with all
speed. Mr.. Gleason is the builder in
charge, and has already erected several saw
mills for the firm in Michigan A consider
able part of the foundation will be of stone.
| Yesterday logs were passing in large
numbers at TaylOr'S Falls although the
water was falling, and quite number are
coming into the boom at the head of Lake
ST. Croix. The 10000, 900 feet of logs on
Snake river will come through all right, as
they will have plenty of water. Work will
begin again on Monday at the boom, and a
small force will be kept at work until some
of the larger drives get there, when full
force will be employed. At noon on Thurs
day, when the boom shut down, So, 600, 900
feet of logs had passed through, which
showed large average for the number OF
men employed.
The pontoon is nuisance, and made
much more so from the dropping OF bra1lS
of logs through it. The big stretch of the
bridge was made for brails to drop through,
but it has been taken possession OF by one
lumber firm as rafting ground, and they
allow no logs to come through except what
they are to raft 1t looks as if the city had
no rights in the matter. An hour at time
is nothing for the pontoon to be kept open,
and this is a. decided nuisance to persons
having pressing business. It takes the
cumbersome thing so long to swing that
people lose patience A better engine and
stronger chain should be used.
| The newly Incorporated Saltwater Lum-
Der company, of which E. w. Durant, r.
j. Wheeler, A. T. jerks. David Tozer and
III. McGlenn are the stockholders and di-
rectors, held meeting on Saturday even
ing at the office of Durant & Co. for the
purpose of electing officers. David Tozer
was elected president, r. j. Wheeler vice
president A. 7. jerks secretary and treas
urer, and HI. McGlenn general manager.
| The mill will be run this season as of old,
but next winter gang will be added to the
1 TWO circulars now used. The company will
at once erect large planning mill, and
stone for the foundation will be drawn this
week. 1t is the intention to manufacture
all the lumber cut next season, thus giving
employment to large number of men.
i They will enter extensively into the manu-
facture of doors, blinds and such kindred
work
! What might have been serious runaway
| took place yesterday forenoon on Main
street. 81. McGlenn of Durant, Folger 81
Co., and w. E. Hill of Kalamazoo Mich,
had driven in from South Saltwater, and
when opposite Phinney's bookstore one of
the front wheels came off through loss of a
nut and the axle fell to the road. The
horse was spirited one and began to kick
and plunge, and darting forward, threw the
gentlemen out. In their descent they took
the cover off with them, breaking it closeto
| the seat, and this no doubt saved them
from serious injury. The horse dashed to-
wards Hospes' hardware establishment, and
was with difficulty kept from plunging
through the window. The buggy was
badly broken. Mr.. McGlenn had several
bruises, his right hand and arm showing
| the marks OF contact with the road, while
Mr. Hills left arm is paining him consid-
erably. The losing of the nut was no doubt
carelessness on the part of one of Judd
Ortf'S men, who had not put it on securely.
The Groundwork of Dyspepsia.
A Family Doctor,in Cassels Family Magazine.
| say it without much fear of contradic-
ton, that a very large amount of dyspepsia,
from which, as nation, we suffer so much,
| is attributable to the bad cooking Of the
food that is placed on our tables. 1t mat
tiers little to my argument who the cook is
mistress or servant wife or daughter, or
mother-there is the food, and yonder is
| the dyspepsia.
And what evils are they, wonder, that
dyspepsia will not give rise to Or lead to?
1t would be easier far, methinks, to answer
that question than to recount all the dis
| eases the trOIIhla and Sorrows that iDdj-
gestion does induce.
And how is this to be altered? Were are
we to look for reform in diet and cookery?
The labor OF reforming nations cuisine is
one from which Hercules might shrink.
| I on and l, reader, may write on this sub
ject till fingers cramp, back aches and brain
grows giddy; we may preach till we are
hoarse and aphonic, and yet do no apparent
good But when we have retired disheart-
ened from the arena, probably there will re-
cur to us the old truism-example is better
at our own freside. For reform in diet and
cookery, it seems to me, is like charity, in
| that it should begin at home.
The greatest foe that reform of this kind
has to fight is fashion And another enemy
is tradition: ways and plans of cooking and
serving meals have been handed down to
US, and we are 10th to give them up, even
for those that our Judgment tells US are bet
ter. AS a rule that has few exceptions,
most people in the matter of eating just jog
along day after day in the same old style,
until perhaps some form of dyspepsia warns
them that everything is not right in their
method of living; that they either eat too
much or drink too much-I'm not referring
to stimulants-that the food is served in bad
style or at wrong times of the day, that din
ner and supper are too late, and that, in
consequence, breakfast is a mere passover.
1t may be the brain, as evinced by irritable
ity, nervousness, perturbed sleep, or want
of sleep; it may be the stomach itself, as
proved by slowness of digestion or acidity,
or both; or it may be the blood which is in.
