REPAIRING THE DEVASTATION.

Restoring Connections.

Relief Well Under Way and the Railways
Restoring Connections.
The first thought of the officials of the
St Paul and Duluth Railroad company
was to care for the unfortunate people
along its line who had lost everything
they owned; the second was to restore the
operation OF through service between 81;
Paul and Duluth. The first task well I'M
der way and its completion placed in the
hands OF competent committees, the com
pany at once set 70 work upon the her
culanean task OF opening its lines between
Mission Greek and NJ iiler. T. L. Brown,
master of transportation, began a sys-
tematic attempt to straichten out the
crooked rails, build bridges. repair Gull
verts and replace the burned ties Of which
there were literally thousands
With a work train and an efficient crew.
Mr.. Brown rebuilt the burned bridge over
the Grindstone river at Hinckley, put in
new ties and worked the line gradually
north. In the meantime Yardmaster
Williams. OF the DIlu;h yards. had a work
train pushing its way down toward the
center of the difficulty, which was at the
spot where Engineer Root stopped the
Duluth limited on Saturday night. BY
noon the crew Of YardIaaster Williams
the men who relieved the sufferers AZ
Sandstone. had pushed down TO this point
and had the track in working order to the
bridge which was burned.
The force was large one. and in a couple
of hours the bridge was built and the big
engine Of the limited, which had been left
on the track, was pushed down TO Hinck-
ley. The tender of the limited engine was
tipped of the track, as it was wrecked
beyond repair, and was left TO add to the
general ruin. At 5:25 the two work trains
met, and at o'clock last night the line
was open from s. Paul TO Duluth, aud
the regular Duluth train passed Hinckley
about O'Clock, somewhat behind time,
but running through without mishap.

HOW DID THE STOCK escApsi

many Horses and Cattle Get Through Ua.
scathed In Some Unknown Manner.
One OF the marvellous circumstances Of
She occasion is the escape of so many cat
tie and horses. Many were absolutely
unscathed. though no one can tell how
they escaped the ordeal of fire. Others
we're pitifuliy burned, and steps are tardily
being taken to put them out of their
misery. The animals were without food
until late yesterday afternoon, when the
relief train brought up some hay: and the
cows were in great suffering. not having
been MIXED for two days. This morning
the carcasses Of the dead animals which
were becoming very offensive are being
put out OF the way by burial or burning.
The most blessed thing that has hap
pened hereabouts was the rain that fell
yesterday morning and the hope was
universal that the forest fires Of the year
we're at an end. But the rain stopped be-
fore 1t had quenched the fires. A strong
breeze swept up from the south and soon
| the flames which had been quenched were
famed TO blaze and hundreds of columns
OF smoke began To ascend from the woods.
The fire will not be out for many a day
unless there are heavy rains; but there is
no danger, as the underbrush is burned
out clean, and there is no possibility of
spread. The intensity and instability
Of the fire can be seen frou the fact that
corduroy fills where the logs were buried
under several feet of earth are entirely
saten out, the fire eating its way through
ander the entire width of road.

CORRECTED ESTIMATE OF DEAD.

The Total Not Likely to Go High as 400
Names of Unfortunates-
The latest verifiei reports of the num-
Der of dead do not materially alter the
estimate Of The Pioneer Press Of Sunday.
In fact. that estimate is proving remark
ably exact, considering the confusion of
the first day. The tendency OF the occa-
sion, bad as it is, is to exaggeration. The
number of dead at Hinckley is placed at
30. The Pioneer Press CORRESPONDENT has
actually counted 1914 of these, and the
margin allowed is about all that is neces.
sary.
The figures are as follows: Hinckley,
200; Sandstone, 62; Miller, IL; between
Skunk Lake and Miller, II; Pokegama, 2s;
in lumber camps and scattering, esti-
mated. 50; total. S64.
The following is the list of the known
dead at Hinckley, partially identified, SO
lar as known at this writing: Mr. and
Mrs. Abbey and two children; Mrs. Dan
Donohue and her three children; John
Weslund and child; Mr. and Mrs. John
Rodgers and three children; Mr. and Mrs.
Nike Curry and boy; - Sherman; Paul

SIXTY cORPSEs AT SANDSTONE.
A List of the Identified Dead-How the
Destroyer Swooped Down.


DULUTH, Sept. A relief train has re-
turned TO Daluth bearing TT Survivors of
the burning of Sandstone. One hundred
and fifty people were left and a second
train was sent out for them Sixty bodies
were found in the little towns scattered
about everywhere. No attempt had been
made to bury them and they are rottiug
in the hot sun. One building is all that
remains at Partridge; everything was
burned, but as far as can be learned only
one life was lost
The list of the dead at Sandstone and
Sandstone junction, as nearly as could be
gotten from the survivors who reached
the train, is as follows: F. England, wife
and seven children; - johnson, wife,
children and brother-in-law; f + istrom's
family of six-Edstrom himself is badly,
if not fatally. burned; II. Hoffman and
wife; Alfred Broad, wife and family of
thres children; August Anderson and son,
died in the pump house; c. +. Ander son,
wife and two children; Mrs. August An
derson. Peter Kahn, wife and three
children; Gustave Anderson, wife aud
two children: II. Lind's wife and five
children-Lind was fatally burned, but is
still alive; Mr.. Greeufield's wife and six
children; Bridge Watchman Donmuth.
SO badly burned that he committed
suicide; Emil Peterson.
They found u mother in the yard with
her children clasped in her arms. Many
others were found in Sandstone and re-
manned unidentified All those saved at
Sandstone were in the river while
the cyclone Of flames passed, and
| only managed to escape by wading into
the water as far as possible and then
throwing water over each others heads
The coming of the flames sounded like
thunder, and with such rapidity did they
come that people who fingered to save
property or neglected to seek safety in the
river persisted. As far as could be learned
between forty and fifty bodies were scat
tered about the streets burned to a crisp.
The relief committee had paid but little
attention to bodies. as the living required
immediate attention.
Rib Lake, WISCONSIN,, in Peril.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Sept. At is feared
that the little town of Rib Lake, in Taylor
county, population $50, will be destroyed,
although the fire engine and crew from
Chippewa Falls have gone to fight the fire
The Rib Lake Lumber company, with
mills and immense tannery, is located
at that point. The danger to Cabot is
thought over; also to Cartwright and Rice
Lake. At Long Lake, a summer resort,
the cottage of the late General George c.
Ginty was destroyed. At least seven rail-
road bridges on the north division of the
Omaha between Chippewa Falls and Su-
peEior have been destroyed.

E1R-Eating by Fowls.

Egg-eating hens are often the result
OF a habit formed by having access to
broken eggs, though in other cases
the habit comes from an mate hunger
born Of the lack Of proper food ele
ments containg the nitrogen and the
phosphate and eat the eggs 20 obtain
them.
The Poultry Yard says: The habit
CT egg-eating by the hen is, at times,
a very serious one with which to deal,
though never have been troubled with
only AS l breed no fowls but Part
ridge Coclfins, l presume | am not
troubled as much as those who breed
the smaller kinds of fowls, for | think
the Asiatics are not so apt to acquire
the habit in question as are the smaller
breeds, for the former are generally
possessed Of quiet disposition, while
the latter, especially the Leghorns, are
very active.
AS Dreventives are better than cure,
| will suggest a few which l practice.
According to my judgement the habit
of egg-eating is oftenest formed by hav-
ing soft or thin -shelled eggs laid in the
nest. These are almost sure to be brok-
en- by the hen while on the nest, and
she will be very apt to eat the broken
egg. Then, first, feed your hens shells,
meats and such a variety Of food that
all the eggs will be likely to have
hard shells.
Occasionally there is a hen that never
lays other than soft-shellcd eggs, and
she will soon acquire the habit Of eat
ing eggs. The best remedy for such an
egg eater is to give your hens plenty
Of work. especially the smaller breeds,

idle hands to do StreW thckly over
the hen house floor, or small yards,
leaves from the woods, or chaff from

oats, screenings or the coarser parts OF
cracked corn. To find the food thus
scattered, and partly hidden, will give
the hens capital employment during
the close confinement of the winter
time and is most excellent to keep them
out Of mischief.
