thousand. The brick are even of q

manufactue a frs tclass quality of fire

Yesterday morning Jas. McKin-
ley's tote team treated those people
who happened to be on the street to a
little excitement They were at
Walsh's warehouse loading up prepare
tory to going to camp. The cold wind
made the horses restless and they
started up. Soon realizing that they
had no driver they took lit into their
heads to have little fun by themselves
and started to run down the street
They finally collided with an electric
light post in front of Mrs Dockery's
breaking the whitfletrees and clearing
themselves from the wagon. The
horses got clear of each other and one
.of them continued his race while the
other remained near the post. Outside
O. the breaking of the whiflietrees no
other damage was done.
There is strong probability OF a saw
mill being built in the spring on the
Old FORESTER site at the mouth of Eagle
River. We are not at liberty to Give
the names of the parties Interested ia
the new enterprise at present but one
E0f the gentlemen interested informed
Us tnat it hd practically been decided
upon and that the mill would probably
be built early in the spring. A saw
mill at that point would, without q
doubt, be paving investment to the
projectors and would be of great Bene-
/ lit to the village. 1t would also be of
great benefit to the farmers in this
vicinity as it would give them a ready
market for the small bodies of .rine
which they might have and as we .un-
defstand that the mill will do custom
/ work the most of them would he able
to get out logs enough and have them
sawed to furnish what lumber they
would need for building pusposes.

! The people of this place could gain
valuable pointers on the subject of
How to Boom Your Town, by a care
full study OF some of the neighborine
places and the methods used by their
business men to aid in building nm
their cities. They generally have adj
Vancement association composed of
wide awake business men y7,o ara
always on the look out for any manu-
featuring plant DESTROYS of or who could
be induced tochange their location and
are always ready to offer a pecuniarv
consideration to induce any new manu-
factury to locate in thesr place. Now
II the people here would to take some
such means it would be easy to build
up our town. For instance, there is q
brIck yard established at Conover, We
nave the same kind and fully as good
quality of clay here and.there are MANY
reasons why the company owning the
yard at Conover would prefer to move
their yard here and last summer they
talked of doing so and with that
/ idea gave the clay here a thorough
| test and found it all right. But when
/ they came to talk business in REGARD ia
knowing down they found that in the
first place they would have to pay five
hundred dollars to secure the clay
next that they would be required to.
! put up one hundred and fifty dollars to
I secure the right Of way for a road to
4 reach the clay making an outgo Of
1 six hundred and fifty dollars ION the
start besides the cost Of moving theif.
! machinery down here putting I'D build
i ings etc. all Of which they now have at
their present location. OF course they
couldnot be expected togo to all of this
extra expense just to benefit this place
and as the town did not seem inclined
to offer any inducements except nice
words they naturally let the matter
drop. II we could secure this industry
It would give employment to twenty or
twenty-five men from the start and
these generally men Of families. That
this would be of considerable benefit to
the town no one denies and the town
could well afford to offer some induce
NEST to them to get them here. The
least they ought to be willing to do is
to lay out and build them a road to
their plant and should raise them at
east five hundred dollars to part pay
for the cost Of clay and expense of NOV
ing down etc. and we believe that if the
authorities should appropriate five hum
dred dollars for this purpose it would
not only be money well expended but
