Mortenson Lumber Co. mill, recently
destroyed by fire, is progressing as
rapidly as possible. The brick boiler
room was damaged very little and
few repairs will put it in as good con-

for the lower part of the mill has been
raised and in few weeks time large
structure will cover the old site. The
debris, including the old machinery,
has been removed, the latter dumped
into a,scrap iron pile later to go into
furnace and be converted into other
machinery. An examination of the old
machinery shows that it was subjected
to great heat for many parts are melted
into shapeless mass. Outside of the
boiler room the mill will be new
throughout.

furnished her, and it is quite likely that
the young mans remains will be dis
