BURNING OF THE YEsLER MILL.
Different Losers Calculate Their Losses
-RninS still Burning.


The total loss from the Yesler mill fire
Monday night will exceed $4,000, and the
insurance will not reach half that amount.
The lessee. the Great Western Lumber
and Supply Company. intends to re-engage
in the milling business here. but II has not
yet been decided whether the mill will be
rebuilt.
The Yesler Wood. Coal and Lumber
Company. owner of the mill. estimates it's
loss at s36.0o0. The insurance was only
$4,000, distributed as follows: Phoenix of
London. s25G Northern. OF London, $3.50;
Palatine, s.. 800; Hartford s2.50. The lessee
OF the mill. the Great Western Lumber
and Supply Company. estimates its loss at
S9.o0. with an insurance of only $500.
Fortunately. however," said \. n.
Ruelle, president and manager of the COM
many. as he discussed the situation yeSter-
day, the insurance is heavy enough TO
pay all our debts and leave US in a sound
condition. ] have intended for some time
TO 90 East, and I shall now go as soon
as our losses are adjusted. with a view 70
securing the capital necessary TO put up a
frst-class mill 10 cut lumber for the East
ern market. Our present intention is to
continue right along in business. We
saved only about SEQ worth OF lumber, and
that small amount was saved only by
dumping it from the shed into the water.
Mr.. Lowman saved about 5000 feet, his
lumber being piled further from the mill
than ours"
The receivers OF the Seattle. Lake Shore
& Eastern road were not prepared yester-
day to make an estimate of their loss.
There We're seven Lake Shore fiat cars
burned and three Northern Pacific box
cars. one of the fiat cars was loaded with
logs and one OF the boxes with lumber he
longing 10 the Great Western Lumber and
Supply Company. Our loss said Super
intendent Kline yesterday, has not been
estimated, on account of the fact that
when | went out this morning the fire was
stiIl burning, and the wind was blowing
the fame and smoke so that ] could not
make a careful examination. Our mmedi-
ate loss Will be tTifing, and is fully COW
cred by insurance. Bat the road Will sus-
tain a heavy indirect loss from the burn
ing Of the mill. as that thriving industry
furnished us with large shipments"
There appears 10 be some doubt as 70
the prOprietOrship of the wharf and dock
burned, and it Will probably be several
days before a full adjustment OF the losses
can be reached.

late the Rural Population.
Civilization and culture have always
gone hand in hand with business rela-
ton and social intercourse. The more
closely mon are brought into contact the
more they learn TO appreciate the good
that is i'll all and To recognize the COM
mon bond which should unite them in
one great brotherhood.
Now, every impossible road is an un-
superablo barrier to local advancement,
cutting off INSTRUMENTATION and
closing all avenues which lead 10 social
and intellectual development. For the
highest good Of any community it is
quite essential that facilities bo estab-
lished for communication with the out
side world, especially with the great
centers of civilization, literature, traffic
and art This may be carried on by
travel or through the medium Of the
mail service, preferably by both, but
bad roads obstruct both.
Good roads Will metamorphOse the
present unfortunate state Of affairs in
country towns and introduce the advan-
tages, the polish, refinement and civility
now supposed 20 exist almost exclusive
ly in cities The quickoned intelligence
and stimulated thought which result
from the constant watching Of the po-
litical, scientific and religious move
ments going on will largely Danish the
mental vacuity which sooner or later
takes possession Of those whom circum-
stances consign TO isolation.
1t will be found impracticable, even
in SO good cause, TO adopt any rovolu
tionary measures involving great and
unusual expense without the interven-
ton and assistance of the state Farm
ers will not vote upon their towns high
taxes necessary TO meet the requirement
Of establishing and keeping in repair
roads good enough TO meet the present
demand.
Whenever we can secure smooth and
permanent highways it will be posi-
tive pleasure not merely TO ride over
them with light team in a springy
buggy but even to take heavy loads to
market, and the worst dreaded and
most obnoxious phase Of rural life will
have become thing of tho past Then
farmers, instead of being the most dis
contentod fault finding and despondcnt
Of mortals, will be the happiest, most

Girls Who Sell Their Hair.

where a we'll known society woman

brown hair, and one day she was APP

PEELED TO use false hair, who said to
her, Miss -, if at any time yoa de-

her hair cut, and in payment received
