Mr.. Davidson will rebuild of brick up-

Mr.. Davidson will rebuild of brick up
on the old site, putting in mill of so
barrel capacity with every modern apli-
ance. He will build an elevator on the
south side of the spur track. He has al
ready opened negotiations for rebuilding.
The water works were repaired and
water will be turned on this evening.
The transfer of the mill was made on
Friday, and Mr.. Davidson remarked that
it was an uulucky day. DR.. Dubois re-
marked that for him it had always been
a lucky day. Both are now more strong.
ly confirmed in their opinions than eyer.
Jake McHattie sustained very severe
burn by thrusting his hand against the
hot water-works shaft. It may prove
serious.
Harry Farrell ran great risk in going
into the burning mill to save some books;
but that was not the worst of it-later
he was bit in the face by pail thrown
by some excited person and knocked
senseless. His face was badly cut, but
no serious results ensued.
A little son of Louis Kroessin, who was
perched upon fence looking at the fire,
fell off and broke his arm.
More hose is needed in the city, but
that will be of little service without more
pressure. GIVE the fremen a fair show
and they will save anything except
souls,

The Crops.

The season thus far has not been fay
orablef for grain. The excessive moisture
of the earlier part of the season had a
tendency to weaken the plant, and the
cool weather which followed retarded
the growth very materially. These un-
favorable conditions checked the pro-
gress of the growth to degree from
which it has meyer recovered. The best
informed farmers are confident that a
fair estimate is from a third to half OF
last years yield, although the weather
of the past ten days has improved the
conditions. On the lighter sandy soil
the outlook is less favorable for wheat
than upon the clay, but even upon the
heavier land the crop is uneven or spot
ted; looking fairly well in places and de-
cidedly poor upon the knowls and in the
hollows. Oats look little better than
wheat, though both are somewhat rus
ted. Cornis backward, and will require
a great deal of favorable weather TO
bring it forward. The only crop which
gives promise of being at all up to the
average standard is the potatoe, which
looks very well indeed. The weather
seems to have been peculiarly favorable
to it.

The Great Northern cattle yard, up
on such occasions as last Monday even
ing, becomes an almost intolerable uui-
sance. The night was sultry and the
yard was filled with hungry calves and
swine. The. discordant and incessant
bleatings and sqealings were enough to
drive one to deeds of desperation. Have
the residents of that part of the city no
rights?
Mr.. Vessel, of the new firm OF Duro-
cher. & Vessel, who have engaged in
business here as the Sank Centre Dry
Goods Company. is in the city, and ex-
poets to be ready to open up with a COM
plete stock Of dry goods and notions
exclusively on Saturday next-although
it may be Monday before everything
will be in readiness. The firm will carry
a large stock of dry goods, fresh from
the eastern markets, including every
thing in their line, OF the latest patterns
suitable for the season. The firm makes
its announcement on the fourth page Of
this paper, and it will pay our readers
to giveita careful perusal. The firm has
a large establishment in St. Paul, and a
branch in Little Falls.

Ashes.

A delicate wreath of smoke so light as
to be mistaken for dust, was first OBJ
served by Mr.. Kinnamon, soon after
seyen o'clock on Friday evening last,
putting from the upper window of the
Central Minnesota Roller Mills. Not
quite satisfied he crossed over from his
house and enquired of the night watch
man if anyone were sweeping the upper
floor, and being assured not he at once
gave the alarm of fire. It was speedily
taken up by the ringing Of the bell, and
in moment the city was allexcitement.
The fire, secure in its inaccessible loca-
ton, spread rapidly through the upper
part OF the mill, and great clouds OF inky
smoke rolled skyward, illumined here
and there with great tongues of flame.
The fremen, with characteristic energy
and despatch soon had feeble stream
which reluctantly rose midway up the
second story. There was no pressure.
Fortunately for Sank Centre it was a
still evening, scarce a breath OF wind
stirring. The flames spread rapidly
through the upper portion OF the mill,
and it was soon evident that there was
no hope for the property. Effort was
then directed to the warehouse on the
south and the city pump-house on the
west, but without avail. Steadily the
flames progressed and soon enveloped
the warehouse, jumping several rods, so
intense was the heat. Alarmed at the
threatening aspect, Mayor Townsend
telegraphed to St. Cloud, Little Falls
and Alexandria for aid, but before it
could be gotten ready to start the flre
was under control.
The water works were soon disabled
by the burning of the gear connecting
the wheel with the pumps, and then the
CITY was safe. Instead of leaning up
on the broken reed of insufficient water
works, the citizens organized an effective
bucket brigade and did most heroic
servive. By it not only was the Little
Falls depot saved, but a wooden shell
abutting the burned warehouse was
saved. Never did men work with better
will. Fire brands were borne hundreds
of feet into the air and lazily settled in
remote parts of the city where they were
calculated to do the most harm. The
restaurant near the depot, the Sank
Centre House barns, Hendry's store, and
even the Keller factory were on fire from
these sparks. They were closely watch
ed and easily extinguished.
At it's height the spectacle was grand
but expensive The mills, with the en-
gines, IL, 900 bushels of wheat and 3d.
900 worth OF -four are total loss. The
values destroyed will reach fully $685.

OCal insurance ,............. ......pAF,AoO
Of this insurance $17,75O was written
by A. H. Petit, Cooper & Whitney 81,
900 and Morse & Lamb $500.
The city had insurance OF 500 in the
Fireman's Association, written by A. I.
Smith, which has been adjusted at $685..
This mill property was bought by T.
D. Davidson of J. A. Dubois & Co. on
July LIST for $50 500, which was exclus-
i've of the wheat and mill products. Since
its purchase it has been operated pretty
steadily, and on Friday evening it had
shut down for the night only few mo-
ments before the fire was discovered.
Best judges are divided in opinion as TO
the origin of the fife between the two
probable courses-heated journal, and
spontaneous combustion. The day had
been oppressively hot, weather favorable
for either.
The mill was first-class in every par
ticular and had capacity of 200 bar.
rels day, was in excellent condition
and doing good business. Its reputa-
ton was second to none in Central Min
nesota. The fire not only entails di-
rect loss upon the proprietor Oslo, 900,
but it is discouraging. just as he fairly
got down to business. but he will re-
build it at once and with brick. making
a better mill than ever.
On Monday the insurance adjusters
poured into town and commenced the
usual proceeding ofascertaining Destroy
ed values. After hard days work they
returned to St. Paul to consider matters
between themselves. They will return
again later.
The Harmon-Holmes steam mill burned
in June 1888, about the same time of
day as the Central mill, and from
causes equally inexplicable. The loss
was greater than that of the late fire, the
insurance being oyer $4,000,
Tobias Engle had oyer 700 bushels of
wheat stored in the mill, which he had
insured in the Fire Association for $500.
The value at the market price was 1901,
and his loss has been adjusted at the full
face of the policy.
The city held a policy upon the water
works for $500, distributed between
building, pumps and shafting. The loss
as estimated by Superintendent Coe at
1895. The city will receive $2S5-the
pumps not sustaining any injury of i'm
portance. The principal net loss was OIL
the shafting.
Superintendent A. E. Law of the Nor
thern Pacific road, was in the city the
day following the fire, and expressed his
warmest appreciation of the efforts OF
our firemen and citizens in saving prop.
erty. He desired to thank them, on be-
half of the road, for their services in say
ing the depot.
