Iron River In Ashes.

About O'Clock last Sunday after
noon fire was discovered III the Eau
Claire house, at the new town OF Iron
River, thirty miles east of here, at the
junction of the Northern Pacific and
the Duluth, South Shore 4 Atlantic
railroads. In Il short time the flames
had it all their own way and swept
down the main street of the town like
the wind, devouring everything III the
way, and in three hours time nothing
was left of the lively little city save Il
half dozen buildings located on the
North side of the tracks, and SO out of
line of fire Both the y. Z. and ID. ).
5. & \ depots were consumed. Some
twelve hundred people were left home
less and destitute OF even bite OF
supper, as little had been saved.
/ The railroad companies sent out a
large number of box cars, and these
/ with the new saw mill buildings which
! had not vet received the machinery
suiliced to give shelter to all, even il
/ they were somewhat crowded. What
/ provision there was, was distributed tt
! the women and children first and then
to the men as far as it would go, the
rest going without any supper that
night. But by noon OF Monday pro
visions began to arrive, and soon al
were fed.
The loss is variously estimated a
from sl25, 900 to 5000, 900. with yer,
small proportion of insurance.-les:
than $4,000. Tue town has all beer
built within the year, and many los
all they had, and are sadly in need o.
help; others Lad enough to take then

Immediate employment, while other
who were fortunate enough to have
good bank account, began clearing o
the ruins for new buildings. So on
goes and another comes, and by tn
time snow flies new town will occup

The Committee RepOrts.

| At the council meeting Tuesday
evening the committee appointed some
time since to investigate the paving
done by the contractors III the past,
notably last year, made a report.
! While the report evinces desire to
be as lenient as possible. it is not at all
complimentary or creditabla either to
| the contractors or the public officials
whose duty it was TO look after the
work. The committee "heard testlmo-
/ ny, examined witnesses-Givlng all an
opportunity to he heard-and made
personal examination of portions OF
] the work, and few extracts from the
report will suffice to show the quality
, of work we have received for the first
class prices we have paid
"We believe" says the committee,
1.-The specifications used by the city are
very good, and we believe excellent
paving would be tie result If the spe-
cifications were rigidly enforced. But
the committee found that the speclti-
| cations on which the contracts We're
awarded, did not have much weight
after the contract was once secured.
| They say:
I'VE find that much smaller and
large blocks have been used than the
specifications call for; some bad and
imperfect; some that were not prop
erlv peeled; great deal of eight inch
| plank; lack of sand, and other devia-
! tions from the specifications; but the
/ worst feature of the case, in our judg-
ment, was the almost total disregard
paid the clause relating to the double
i rolling of the ground before paving
1 When the ground was not rolled the
contractor would level up with sand,
and we find, as would naturally be ex-
pected, the paving settled wherever
even Il slight fill was made
How do you like that finding OF the
jury, Mr.. Taxpayer? 1t is just fun to
hustle about and gather up funds to
pay taxes with when you kow what
kind of improvements you are paying
for; YOU can pay more cheerfully now,
Again:
The inspection in most cases has
been very slack and there seems to
have been Il question in the minds OF
the board of public works and city en-
gineer as to which department was
responsible.
And SO it was that while the officials
were splitting hairs to determine theil
respective duties, the work went on
without any inspection, and the jolly
contractor grew rich through his shod
dy methods of work. Again:
I've find the same lack of following
specifications in setting curb as il
paving; consequently the curling l:
uneven and out of place i'll numerou:
instances. Contractors should be re
quircd to back up the curb with grave
as required by terms of contract"
To guard against loss through all OF
these channels for fraud and deception
the city holds back five per cent. of TIN
price--or is supposed to do SO, although
the committee was not satisfied tina
even this had been done-to cover re
pairs fer one year. As the contracto
has made about twenty per cent. h.
not doing what his contract called for
he does not Worry over the five pc
cent, which he expects to get some
time from some good natured council
Let us hope that this official expose o
past methods may bear fruit in givln:
us something better in the future

For some time past force of work
men have been rebuilding. charging
and generally improving and fitting up
the large Northern Pacific dock at the
foot of Stinson avenue, for coal dock
TO be used by the Youghiogheny and
LehiSh Coal company. The work,
Which included the placing of trackage
and the most improved machinery for
handling coal, was completed last
week, and on Saturday morning last
The steam barge Wocoken came into
port with a full cargo of coal for the
new dock
All The work of preparation for act
I've business has been under the direct
supervision of Mr.. \. W. Horton, the
general manager, and Mr. Sampson,
his efficient assistant, ana to their
credit we may say that from the lower
ing of the first bucket to the emptying
OF the Last, everything connected with
the outfit worked perfectly and rapid
ly y second vessel arrived on Mon
day evening and others are on the
way up.
For the present the company is
handling nothing but soft coal, but
other grades will no doubt be added in
the near future, 1T least to the extent
of supplying the local trade and thus
saving our people at least the addition
al transportation costs Of getting our
coal down from the West End.
In the opening of this coal business
we plant another mile stone for this
end of the city. odd Superior" has
thus taken another step forward. The
West End story that we had no har-
Dor, no channel, no water, and there
fore no boats could get to us, has once
more been exploded. Any vessel which
can get through the 500 canal can sail
up to our docks without a tug or a To-
cal pilot. From now on we shall have
shipping from Old Superior as well as
from New Superior, and in five years
from now five boats Will register and
clear from the former to one from the
latter Remember I'VE told you SO. =
