Notes and Incidents.


All that Publisher Hoyt saved from
his office was the two forms of the
North Star and the books. The pa
per was established in 1907 and most
of the files from 1907 to the present
day were burned. This is a serious
loss to the early literature of this
vicinity and one that can never be re
placed.
Editor Hoyt will issue his paper
for a few weeks but has not decided
whether he will publish it perma
nently.
The grass in Murray Do1e's farm
situated mile and one-half from the
"Green," caught fire during the con
hagration. Mr.. Dole was up to the
fire and had to come home to protect
his own property.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Peck were UP
at the "Green" helping others save
their property and their own house
burned in their absence.
Spencer Tilton was working or
the railroad during the fire and his
wife carried all the furniture out into
the field. Soon the fire reached them
and they were all burned up.
Large cinders, probably pieces OF
shingles, were blown all around this
region and were found in Fairbanks
village and on the Plain
Property owners are waiting for
the insurance adjusters before they

stores of Dole Brothers and Dole 6,
Currier will probably be rebuilt and
some of the dwelling houses.
Moore & Co. have settled with
Dole Brothers giving them $4,000, OF
nearly their full insurance. They
will rebuild as soon aspossible. Mrs
George Page gets nearly her full in
surance for her dwelling house or
500. Mrs. DIR. Woodward receives
$500 and w. B. Palmer $3.50.
The insurance companies have been
adjusting the losses and have settled
with E. ]. Dole, giving him his full
insurance of $25OO on the store.

FIRE AT MILES POND.

During the progress of the Danville
fire last Thursday afternoon the
flames were making rapid Roadway
in the yard of the saw mill at Miles
Pond owned by L. d. Hazen of this
place. The fire probably caught from
sparks and $50 cords of slab wood,
10000 feet of lumber, a coal shed
and a number of logging sleds were
burned. The loss on the slab wood
and lumber is a trif1e over $1,000 and
the loss on the sleds will not exceed
$1,000, making Mr.. Hazen's loss
about $4,000; insured for one-ha1f its
value The flames came within a few
feet of row of tenement houses and
the buildings caught fire several
times. The wind kept the flames
away from the saw mill during the
entire progress of the fire. An extra
train went over from this place and
the locomotive was in readiness to
draw off the cars standing on the
siding if the fire reach ed them.

1t was sad sight indeed to see that
gallant rider and his horse struggling
against the foaming waves and floating
logs, with a distressed woman clinging to
him to save life. AS the young man took
the child from its mothers arms on the
wagon and bore it away to shore, his
horse met floating drift and all came
near being carried down and over the

WINTER WHEAT YIELD i.


The Chicago Farmer S Review has pub
lished careful estimates based on reports
from its correspondents relative to the
probable yield of wheat in the winter
wheat states. With the exception of
Kentucky and Indiana, where drouth
was experienced in April and May, win
ter wheat arrived at the harvesting stage
in good condition and with good prospects
of a large per cent of 'fNo. l hard. -
There is little change in the acre
age except in Kansas, where there is an
increase of about twenty-five per cent.
and more in illinois, where there has
been a considerable falling off. The con-
dition of crop at the time of harvest as
compared with last year, is as follows:
Illinois, 115 per cent. Michigan, 120;
Kentucky, l05; Kansas, ITO; Indiana,
125; Ohio, 1875; Missouri, 100. Average
yield per acre; Illinois, 10 bushels;
Michigan, 16; Kentucky, 1913; Kansas
20; Indiana, 10; Ohio, IA; Missouri, is.
Acreage: Illinois, 2,259 $40; Indiana.
. IA ,062; Ohio, 1855 ,227; kentucky,
/ ,013 ,22S; Missouri /, 402 ,626; Kansas,
,3l2 500; Michigan :. L ,632 SAT. Total
yield for seven states, 1875, 1873, 900 bushels.
Assuming that the crop in other
states in the Union will yield the same
return as last year, viz, III 1850, 600
bushels, the total winter wheat crop in
1889 will be about 313, $40, 600 bushels.
The prospects are also very favorable for
a good yield of rye, although the area is
indicated to be about 10 per cent less
than last year. The average yield per
acre, however, VIII be heavy enough to
make up any deficiency in acreage. The
present indications point TO yield of
% 1851 900 bushels, the largest crop since
1894

FORT WORTH. Tex July y. 1859. v
To-day closes a week in COMMERCIAL
circles marked by extreme dizziness on
account of heavy rains and high water
all over this section of the state. The
floods haTe caused inealculable damage
to growing crops and grain in the shock.
The depression in trade, however, is
only temporary and business will revive
as soon as the country roads become
passable.
There is some scarcity in country pro-
duce, and prices tended higher during
the last days of the week, but the
rise is only temporary. Nothing
has been done in wheat, the
only receipts being by railroad.
The prices for the general run of COM
modities have Undergone no material

MAcKERE1 SCARCE

The mackerel catch is notiwhat it was
expected to be. A large fleet are en-
gagged in mackerel fishing but only small
fares are being caught. The vessels
fishing off the Massachusetts shore are
occasionally getting few, but not
sufficient to pay them for their
trouble. The fleet that went to
the coast of Nova Scotia are meeting
with poor success. The season is just
beginning, and, as the fishermen have
some four or five months more to fish in },
they have not given up hope. Last month
was anything but desirable for fishing
and this probably accounts for the ex-
tremely small catches. The foreign
shipments have not begun to arrive, but
are expected at any time. The mackerel
season off the Irish coast was very pros
porous and very likely their shipments
viii be large. Large shipments Of salt,
and some few fresh mackerel are being
received from Nova Scotia. A great
number of the vessels have gone to the
North Bay, expecting better luck. The
veteran fisherman early in the year
prophesied good season, but their ex-
pectations have been far from realized =

BLACK JACK GROVE, Tex, July ~
Mr.. J. F. Gambren, a prominet and
highly respected farmer living about four
miles southeast of here, was drowned
while bathing in his pool alone yester-
day, the circumstances of which are as
follows: Mr. Gambrell and his wife
were getting ready TO make a visit to
some of their relatives, and he told his
wife he would go to his pool in the field
near by and take bath. Not returning
as soon as Mrs. Gambrell thought he
ought to, she went down TO the pool after
him. Arriving at the place, she saw his
clothing lying on the ground, but could
not see or hear anything of him. She
Immediately gave the alarm, and Mr.
Preston5 being near by, fastened to the
place to learn the cause. He Immediately
instituted search, and in few minutes
some other parties came up and the
search was continued in and around
the pool until, finally, Mr.. Gam
brell was found in water not over two
feet deep. 1t is supposed he was cramped
and strangled to death He will be
buried to-morroB by the Odd Fellows, of
which order he was worthy member.
1t has been raining here for three days
Y Yesterday IS rain was the hardest of the
season, and creeks were reported higher
than for several years past. Oats will
be so badly damaged that they will be
worthless. Corn looks fine, and cotton
