We inclined to believe that too much
blame is attached to our lamplghter
in relation to lighting the street lamps.
On enquiry we learn from Mr.. Flynn
that the lamps are in a bad condition
and many of them so shattered that
on windy nights the lights are blown
out and the chimneys broken. He
told us that recently there were nine
chimneys broken in one night, owing,
he thought, to the fact that the lamps
were not in a condition to keep out
the wind. Perhaps it would be well
for the committee who has charge of
lighting the streets to look into this
matter little and either have the old
lamps repaired or purchase some of an
improved and more modern pattern.

West Duluth Sun: III. B. Wolff of
Morris, MINI, who owns considerable
West Duluth real estate, was in town
this week. Speaking of West Duluth's
wonderful progress he said: Il have
read of all that has been and is being
done here, but without seeing one
cannot realize the great advancement
that this city has made in a few years
It is sure to have 25,OO0 inhabitants
in less than five years. I am not in a
hurry to dispose of the property l
have here" Enemies of the cities at
the head of the lakes use all manner
of arguments to discourage investors
from coming Duluthward but every
visit that Mr.. Wolff makes the Du-
luths, he says, strengthens his faith
in their future.

Elevator Destroyed by Fire.

About half past four last evening
the lower elevator, owned by the
Interstate Grain Co., was discovered
to be on fire, the alarm bell rang, the
fire company turned out promptly and
in 80 minutes after the alarm was CIV
en- the engine was throwing two
streams of water, one on the elevator
and one on the railroad depot, which
was in danger of being burned. The
fire in the elevator had progressed so
rapidly and was so far advanced that
it would have been impossible for any
number of engines to have stopped it.
The elevator was completely destroyed,
together with about 5000 bushels of
wheat and 700 bushels of flax. The
company paid, we understand, about
$1,000 for the elevator, but origninal-
ly cost, probably, three times that
amount. 1t was fully insured.
At the time of the fire strong
southeasterly wind was prevailing.
Had the wind been due south the
buildings on the east side of the ave.
from Goods corner north would have
been in great danger, and most likely
some of them would have been de-
stroyed. AS it was the railroad depot
was most in danger and was saved
from destruction by the efforts of the
fire company. Sparks and cinders
were carried a great distance, and the
the platform of the round elevator
was on fire several times.
There are several causes given of
the origin of the fire-hot box on some
of the gearing, sparks from the smoke
stack, etc., but nothing definite is
known.
About $50 feet of the railroad side
track was destroyed by the intense
heat of the fire which expanded the
rails and doubled them up. Aside
from the above but little damage was
done, except a section of the new side
walk across the right of way.
1t is hope that the company will at
once commence the erection of new
elevator. Even if only flat ware
house is erected, so that it can be
used, it would be of great benefit to
the town. If the Interstate compa-
nv does not move in this matter forth
with, we would suggest that some of
our business men take hold of it.

A Fairy Tale,

A famous woodsman once boasted
that he could find his way through a
wilderness and return by the same path.
Being tested, he carried with him a
slender thread, which should serve as a
guide for the return trip. Reaching the
end of his journey, he lay down to rest.
While he rested came the genius of in
dustry and breathed upon his thread and
changed it to two shining ribbons OF
steel. It was q railroad. Throngs OF
people whirled past him In luxurious
cars, and he read upon the train the
mystic legend: Wisconsin Central!'

something done towards opening the

make it passable for teams. The riv-

necessary to construct bridge just
at present. Perhaps the bank on this

down little and some gravel put in,
