People living along the line Of Brightwood
avenue above Grant avenue were startled
last night about 80 o'clock by the reports
of six explosions. The occupants of some
OF the houses went out and made an inves-
tigation, discovering that the explosions
had occurred in the sewer and electric con-
duit. Window glass in a number of houses
was shattered, to the CONSERVATION of the
occupants.
TIE first of the SIX explosions occurred
almost directly in front of Corbys bakery.

to he heard several squares away. But
one house in the vicinity damaged.
One square north, at the corner of Howard
avenue, the most serious trouble occurred.

blown off and thrown distance of about
fifty feet This manhole is on the sidewalk

very much excited, but when the cause of
the explosion became known the excitement
quoted down. Window panes on the three
floors We're shattered and the big plate glass

The Bemidji pioneer., 1903-03-19

In the United States the heart OF the
lumber belt has moved westward. At
the beginning Of the last century al
most the entire wood supply came
from the then untouched forests of the
Penobscot River region Of Maine. AS
the woodsmen cut deep into the heart
of the wood the industry was forced
to find other fields from which to draw
its supply, and the virgin forests OF
the south and of the states bordering
on the Great Lakes were cut into. Al
though these regions are by no means
depleted to-day, the Pacific coast is
rapidly becoming the heart of the lum-
Der trade. And what wonder, for in
the three states of California, Oregon
and Washington, there is at least
one-third OF the entire supply of
standing timber in the United States.
In figures, it amounts to more than
900, 900, ,000,0 feet of uncut wood.
The forest reserves and national
parks set apart by the United States
Government within the limits of the Sc
three states aggregate an area of
81. 2.428 square miles, or more than %
per cent of tbe total wooded area of
the states. In the state of Oregon
alone, where a careful examination
has been made, the national census
officials have estimated the standing
timber on these reservation at IS, ,OOO-

obtain same. Mr.. Higgins, for the

the spiritual benefit of the "jacks. "
