business Part of Cambridge Destroyed by
Fire Thursday Night.
Cambridge is having more than its
share OF trouble just at present. Only
few months ago a fire swept along
one side Of its principal business street
and.last Thursday night the other side
was visited, every building being des-
troyed. s
From all accounts, the fire started in
the rear Of Presley's drug store about
midnight and it was not until three
hours later that the flames were extin-
guished. In the meantime the fire had
done about 100000 damage. Our in
formant estimates the losses as follows:
Merchants hotel s12. 900; insurance
$4,000. ..s: ss
P. o. Peterson $4,000; insured for
$4,000.
Presley's drug store 81, OOo;: insur-
ance So, 900. 81
Alfred Smith $4,000; insurance 81
900.
h. G. Johnson 81, 900; insurance
S., 900. E...z =.
Chouinard's saloon $1,000; no insur-
ance.
Satturlund's jewelry store $4,000;
no insurance. !.
G. L. johnson & Co., $500; insur-
ance unknown. < .-...-S 80 rs
Besides the losses above mentioned
several barns and outbuildings were
destroyed. ~ +
Probably the greatest loss to the vii
lage was the destruction of the Mer-
chants hotel, which was a modern
structure built less than three years
ago by Gillespie & Robbers, and which
if rebuilt will not be as large nor of as
substantial construction
It is reported that one reason why
the insurance falls so far short of the
losses is that one or two companies
made an inspection Of the village dur
ing the proceeding week and had
ordered the cancellation of several of
the risks.
Cattle-Type and Economic Place on Our
| sssa1 Farms. --5
While we may look forward to the
time when cooperative creameries will
be found in nearly every locality in
Northeastern Minnesota, yet this must
come slowly and after many years of
development. Until locality becomes
comparatively thickly settled, the
number of COWS large, and the roads
sufficiently good to permit hauling four
or five miles in all kinds of weather, a
cooperative cremery is not safe ex-
pertinent. A failure means a Serious
setback to a community and it is better
to wait until the conditions are right
for success than to start prematurely.
The abundance of native pasture,
and the natural adaptation of this re-
gion for producing wild and tame hay,
and corn fodder, makes cattle raising
one of the most important features of
fa4 N economy. The greatest profit for
the average settler is to be found in a
type of cattle which incline somewhat
to the beef form, but without seriously
diminishing their milking qualities.
They should be able to rustic in the
summer on wild pasture, and to pro-
duce calf that will develope into a
good steer. Finely bred cattle both of
the extreme beef or extreme dairy type
are not apt to do we'll under conditions
to which they must ordinarily be sub
jected, although under special circum-
stances and on we'll developed farms
they may be more profitable The
returns from cattle on small farms will
be from sale of steers and butter, as
only in special instances can milk be
marketed. -. : So.
The price obtained for butter will de-
pend very largely on its quality and
this depends upon the care and clean
illness of the make and the convenient
ces for handling the milk. An album
dant supply of ice is the first consider
alton and this is usually within the
reach of every farmer if he will take
the time to cut it. Saw dust makes
the best packing, but moss from mus
key swamp is good substitute, and
log ice house is as good as any. A
small room may be built into one end
of the ice house, with shelves for milk
pans, and trough to hold ice should
the temperature get too high. Ven
tilatien should be provided. Where.
springs are available a spring house,
