Big Lumber Fire in MINNEAPOLIS.

Yesterday evenings Journal gives
the following particulars OF a disas-
trous lumber fire in that city yester-
day morning:
The big lumber yards of J. W. Day
& Co., situated between 24th and 25th
avs N and the river and LIST st., was
wiped out by fire this morning, in
volving a loss OF between $4,000, 900
and 20,00O,0 900 feet of lumber, mostly
last seasons cut, worth about $12 a
thousand feet. The total insurance
is $40, 900, placed by five Minneapo-
lis firms, and represents not much
more than so cents on the dollar of
the loss. The fire caught about
O'Clock this morning in the ex-
IRENE northeast corner of the yard,
from spark from the smoke stack
of H. C. Ackeley & Co.'s sawmill,
which adjGns the Day yard on the
north. The alarm was turned in by
the A. D. T. From the first it was
beyond control. A strong wind from
the northeast blowing directly across
the yard made quick work OF the
piles of dry pine, and endangered
yards, mills and houses as far south
as 21st avenue, which were on fire q
dozen different times. At 8 O'Clock
this morning the fire was under
control, but still burning. J.W. Day
& Co. saved their saw ilill, which was
south of the Northern Pacific tracks
and protected by the high railroad
grade.
A hotter fire Minneapolis has not
had in years. The entire fire depart
ment was called before $3.50 o'clock
q. m. Chief Runge stationed six en-
gines at the river bank, south of the
Day yard, and one after another they
were driven back, foot by foot, until
the positions had to be abandoned
for good. Two hundred feet away
from the scene of the fire houses were
set ablaze by the intense heat. Bard
well, Robinson & Co.'s big planning
mill and factory, on the west of the
burning yard, were saved by the
merest chance.
The Northern Pacific railroad
bridge was on fire several times dur
ing the morning, and so intense was
the heat that the middle piers were
burning on two occasions. The
Northern Pacific rails to the south
and west of the burning yard, in
several places were made red hot and
warped and bent out of shape. The
ties were burned from under the rails
for yards. J. W. Day & Co. save in
addition to their mills, about 1,OO0.-
900 feet of lumber, which stood in the
northeast corner of their yard, on
the river bank, beyond the point
where the fire started.

THE ADVANCE IN PAPER MAKING.

THE ADVANCE IN PAPER MAKING.
In an interview with Col. A. G..
Payne, of the New York and Penn
sylvania Company, by a representa-
tive Of the Paper Trade News relative
to the prices for soda fiber, Mr.. Payne,
who was a pioneer in the business,
said: II remember when soda fiber
brought thirteen cents; that was about
eighteen years ago, when it was first
used for paper. 1t is now quoted at
81 cents. The Yaryan system revo-
lutionized the cost of recovering soda
ash by cheap evaporation. Until re-
Gently this system was used by Amer
leans only, but now they have adopted
it abroad, and are using it at GLASGOW.
Everything is cheaper to-day in the
manufacture of soda fiber than it was
in the old times, except wood and
labor, and it was natural for the de-
crease III the cost of the production to
be accompanied by falling off in
the price Of the product. The manu.
facture Of chemical fiber has become
a great industry, and the fiber itself
is used more in the manufacture of
good book paper than ever before.
There we're only two mills which
manufactured chemical fiber at the
start, and they produced twelve tons
daily, whereas now the total monthly
products foot up to fifteen million
pounds. This increase does not seem
however, when we considered
that five ton paper mill in the early
days was big thing, whereas to-day
mills with an output Of thirty or forty
tons are common"

THE TIN.PLAPE INDUSTRY AND
IT'S ENEMIES.

American Economist: The free
trade papers continue their efforts to
persuade themselves and their readers
that the manufacture OF tin plates
will not be established here under the
new Tariff: At first they confidently
asserted that no one ever thought Of
investing a dollar in the industry in
this country. Forced to recede from
this position, they still kept up their
absurd policy Of denying the existence
Of definitely located plants. As these
began to multiply and American tin
plates began to appear they again
shifted their ground and turned to
ridiculing the new American product.
They said at first that tin plates would
not be made at all. Actually con-
fronted with the shining sheets, they
challenged the manufacturer to pro.
duce 100 boxes q day, a physical i'm
possibility then, 80 soon after the en-
actment Of the new Tariff: But in
due time the hundred boxes appeared,
and, behold! your free-tradar dared
the manufacturer to turn out 1000
boxes day. This is the point to
which he has now arrived.
The progress Of the new industry
will soon drive him from this position
also. 1t takes time to establish great
tin-plate plants, and the new law has
been assured to our manufacturers
only seven months. The increased
duty on tin plates does not go into
effect till next July. Protectionists
can we'll afford to wait. The "tin.
plate liars"'will suffer the fate of the
Mckinley prices liars, all in due
time.

Minnesota Republicans have the
little job Of securing the next legisla-
ture before selecting the senator. Less
than half the state senate will be
Republican, and a fair majority must
be secured in tho next house to make
everything serene. The vote will
necessarily be close, and the notice
that there can be no competitors in
the field will not help. to increase the
possible majority.

How's This For a Pointer?

Those who think the question of the free
coinage OK silver Is h take the leading place
in making up the Democratic platform IN u,
are destined 10 be very much mistaken. Not
even the farmers who are all known to he IN
favor OF free coinage, prefer II as an issue 10
that Of tariff reform. This fact IS clearly
demonstrated by actual test.
II will be remembered that some weeks ago
that onterprising paper, TIE RICHMOND
IlsTs. sent out letters of inquiry 10 repre-
sentative Democrats in every county IN the
State 10 ascertain who was ;he tayorlte candl-
date Of the party in that State for President.
The result was that Cleveland proved TO be
the almost universal favorite leading Hill,
who came next, 10y over 100 per cent.
Again rHE TINES has punctured another
bladder of the enemies of Mr.. Cleveland by
addressing another letter 10 its correspondents
askug them 10 interview the most representa-
tive farmer Democrats IN their respective
counties on the following question;
Which. in your opinion Is the more I'M
portant issue for 1892 tariff reform or free
silver coinage"
70 this over forty counties nearly half fot
the State-have sent IN III replies, and the
summing up shows 1913 expressions Of opinion
in favor Of tariff reform. against thrty-elght
for free coinage with eleven undecided. As
the result Of these two series of interviews,
therefore" says TIE TINES. the following
facts are most indispu,ably shOwn-that the
Democracy of Virginia at large favor ex-
President Cleveland a. the Democratic leader,
and that the Democratic farmers OF the state
are overwhelmingly IN favor OF tariif reform
as the vital issue in the next Presidential
campaign
This is a right neat little pointer for o.
Birmingham News.
