a Fire at Glendorado Destroyed
Magnus s. Erickson's Saw
Mill Tuesday Night.
The Republican Convention and
Primaries For Mile Laos
County Are Called

Magnus & Erickson's saw mill at
Glen dorado was totally destroyed by
fire fire last Tuesday night. The fire
caught in the engine room either from
a defect in the arch or from a spark.
There was no insurance and, while
some of the machinery may be repaired
and put in shape to run again, the
UNION is informed by a competent
judge that the loss will be not far from
$4,000. The engine, carriage and saw
equipments we're all new having been
putin last fall which makes the loss
seem seem greater to the proprietors.
The mill will be rebuilt as soon as
possible. The gentlemen were in
Princeton yesterday for lumber and
looked up several engines that are for
sale: The mill sawed hardwood ex-
clusively, the timber being hauled to
the mill by the farmers in the winter,
so that the loss Of time. now means a
great deal to the owners. The UNION
|sympathizes with them in their time
OF trial and hopes they will soon re-
cover from their reverses.

..THE CHINooK.v

Miss Thompson's Picture Play Was the
Best Entertainment of the Season.
ssThe Chinook was the attraction at
Jesmer's opera house last Friday even
ing and although it was given to a
very small audience, those who were
present were we'll pleased. Clara
Louise Thompson is an excellent
reader. She can make common
place production seem literary gem.
The story OF the ''The Chinook how
ever, is not a dry recital of facts, but
is a well written narrative, pleasing
and intensely Interesting to the
audience and when read in Miss
Thompson's masterly manner is sure to
delight her auditors.
The entertainment itself is unique.
There are 50 characters in the cast OF
"The Chinook Is having speaking
parts, yet Miss Thompson portrays the
passions and characters of all these
alone and unaided, save by the canvas
upon which appears the scenes she de-
scribes. The work preliminary to the
production of this piece must have
been tiresome undertaking, for it is
one where treatment Of details is OF
prime Importance. In one act five
different rooms are shown ii one 81
which over $1,000 worth of furnishings
are displayed. Some excellent out
door scenes are also shown, the most
interesting being those given at the
opening of the play showing the com
mencement.of mining and workings OF
the hydraulic rams after the work is
under way.
The play deserves the popularity it
has attained and will doubtless prove
a money maker for its talented pro-
jector before the season closes.
