Captain f. G. Barker. proprietor of
Camp Bemis and of that most delightful
resorts on Students island, the Birches,
reports that operations are generally sus.
pended in building lines at

his plans for erecting four more cottages
at the Birohes, and will get to work on
them as early as possible. John B.

progressing well, and will be a splendid
hostelry when completed, facing as 1t
does up the first lake. The old Mountain
View House has been demolished, and a
new and fine hotel is to be built on the
site of it by Kimball and Bowley.
Captain Barker reports that the snow
is about two and a half feet deep on a
level and some OF the back roads are
badly drifted One week ago this morn
ing the mercury stood at thirty two de-
grees below zero, and the following
morning it was forty.tw below. Prepa-
rations are being made all along the

tors this coming summer.

TWO FIRES.
One on Paris Street and One AZ the Grand
Trunk.


The alarm of fire from box 3a1 at 10. OF
p. m. yesterday, was caused by flames
and smoke issuing from the large
double house Nos. 9 and II Paris street,
occupied in the southerly half by Mr.
j. B. Dunbar and Joseph Rumery, and
in the northerly half by Martin Powers
and Mrs. Prince. The fire caught in one
of Mr.. Dunbar's rooms in the third story
of the house and was probably caused
by children playing with matches and
was confined to that room. A little
girl of Mira. Dunbar set fire to room
last summe playing with matches. and
it is supposed that she was the cause Of
the fire this time. Mr.. @. +. Moultou
is agent for the house whioh is owned
by Mrs. Stewart of Nebraska. The build.
ing is ins ured for $1,000 in the Phoeniz
with Prentiss Loring. Mrs. Prince and
Mrs. Powers's premises were not injured
by the fire as their furniture and valu.
ables were moved. Mr.. Dunbar loses
about $3.50, and Mr.. Moulton about $3.50.
Both are insured. Mr.. Rumery loses
nothing.
At about 4. O'Clock an alarm Of fire
was rung in from box 81 and called the
chemical and engines 1, 2, and s. and
hook and ladders and 3, and the fire
boat to the Grand Trunk repair shops.
A spark, presumably from the tall
chimney, had fallen ON the roof of the
paint shop. Capt. Hardy of engine 3
was right on the spot because he works
there. He climbed on the roof and put
out the blaze with hand extinguisher
before the department had arrived.
Because 1t was the roof of the paint
shop the alarm was rung in from the
Garnd Trunk depot, regardless of the
need of 1T, as they felt they could take
no chances with the roof Of the shop
ablaze.
E-At. the fire on Paris street, Machigonne
No l, was the first piece of apparatus to
arrive on the ground and got on a
stream before anything else arrived.
