The Dixon House had a close call of
being consumed by fire Sunday after
noon. 1t appears that the fire started
from self combustion in heap of
refuse consisting chiefly of old rags.
etc, that had been thrown in a heap
in the wood shed. Occurring in day
light the fire had but a small start
when it was discovered The alarm
was turned in al $50 and it was only
a few minutes before the members Of
the fire company were there and
attached the hose to the nearest
hydrant and extinguiShed the flames
The damage done was slight, covered
by insurance. Had this occurred in
the night time no telling what the
result might have been. The loss of
the Dixon House at this time when
there is shortage of accommodation
would not only have been great loss
to the owners but to the community in
general.

- Loo al Notes. Y


So far during the first weeks bust
ness, the Consolidated Water Power
& Paper Co. have employed forty-eight
men On the preliminary work pre-
paratOry to the great development of
the water power at this point. The
brush has been cleared off Of part of
the nine acre island, the stakes have
been set, indicating where the dam
will be erected above the Green BAY
railroad bridge, coffer-dam is we'll
under way at the head of Garrison
Island. and great deal of material
in the form of lumber, timber etc,
has been hauled upon the grounds Of
operation. The location of the dam
has been altered but very little
since the first .OThe east end of it
will be located about six hundred 5000
feet north of where the Green Bay
railroad bridge is located The west
end will rest on the west bank just
Il little above the west side power
house, and the average height of the
dam will be about feet. 1t will cut
the acre island in two at about the
middle and the upper half of the
island will be eXcavated and used in
filling the dam. 1t has been decided
to make the upper part of the channel
about $50 feet wide, and this will
necesSitate the Green Bay & Western
company to eXcavate and clean out
about IS feet of their filling at the
west end of their bridge which crosses
this channel, the present width now
being only about 80 feet.
Call at Days for gold fish and
acquarium. Wv
Eli Taylor who IS in charge of the
dynamite blasting for the Consolidated
Water Power & Paper Co. commenced
at this work last week Tuesday noon.
A traction engine was placed upon
the island to furnish the necessary
steam to operate two steam drills.
and these with the required help to
operate them, drilled forty-fve holes
from four to six feet deep in solid
granite by Thursday night, the time
taken for doing this work being just
two and one half days. Friday. thirty
eight of these were discharged, Great
ing great havoc in these big DOulderS.
While most of the stone landed in the
immediate vicinity some landed
against the Witter House breaking
three paneS Of glass. A team and a
crew Of men were busy Saturday haul
ing the rock into piles to suitable
places and which will later be used in
the walls. If Mr.. Taylor continues to
succeed in the future as favOrably as
he has these first few days, it will not
require very many weeks to sink the
tail-race and level the large boulders in
that vicinity to make room for the new
mill. The dynamite is discharged by
an electric battery.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip), and it has been observe
that this remedy counteracts any tenden-
cy of these diseases toward pneumonia
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this remedy
has been used during the great prevalence
OF colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit conf.
deDce. Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when no danger is apprehend-
I'd until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breathing
and pains in the chest, then it is an
nounced that the patient has pneumonia.
BE on the safe side and take Cham ber-
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold
Is contracted. 1t always cures For
