SAWMILL BURNED.

Last Friday night fire occurred
which destroyed Walter Comerer's
steam saw mill, located in Aliens
Veiley about milo and u half from
Burnt Cabins.
Everything seemed all right when
the men retired to their shanties to
sleep Thursday evening. one of the
men was awake and looked at his
watch at l o'clock. Next morning
when the men arost, one Of them step
ped to the door of the cabin, which
was on the side from the mill, and
said with yawn, Boys | believe |
smell smoke" lie walked to the end
of the shanty and looked toward the
mill only to find that the fire had done
its work. and gone nearly out the
mill, shed, and about 1900 feet of lum-
Der was totally destroyed The en-
gine and boiler wore not damaged to
any great extent. The loss to Mr..
Comerer is about 5000.
What seems remarkable was that
four men slept peacefully within twen-
ty feet of the fire, not awaking until
morning: and 100000 feet of sawed
lumber was stacked all within twenty
five yards of the fire and came
through it uuharmed: although the
burnt leaves and grass showed that
the fire had extended all around the
lumber pile.

CLEAN UP.

AS Spring comes on the necessity
for cleaning up is made apparent.
During the long disagreeable winter
months the streets and lots have been
made the receptacle for all kinds of
rubbish, and if we would maintain the
reputation of place where good
health abounds, this filth must be
promptly cleaned up before decay sets
in. Let every householder appoint
himself committee of one to look
after his own premises and see that
the surroundings are kept clean, and
let the borough authorities see to it
that everything Objectionable is re-
moved from the streets and alleys.
This will make our town bright and
attractive and is conductive to good
health.
