half dozen dwellings Thirty or forty
other buildings are completely surrounded

tanned by boats, but it is becoming dan

has abandoned the line from Duluth to the
Northern Pacific junction, and Is running
trains over the Northern Pacific railroad

The loss to luinbermen at Cloquet will be

up when they reach the lakes by tugs,
and it will be impossible to save them all.
fhe loss thus far is roughly estimated at
