that the fire was under control, but a

building on both sides of the street

Nothing could resist the force of the

towards the lake, and the firelmen
fought back the fire from side streets,

itself out there. At 3:15 a. m. the fire
was still burning fiercely in the two
blocks on Wellington street. Firemen
had arrived from London. Hamilton
and Buffalo. The acting fire chief said
at this hour that the fire was prac-

Inflammation Of Udder.
New York has a cow whose udder
swelled and became hard on one side.
The animal refused her food and had a
chill, but in two days her appetite re-
turned. The udder was bathed with q
solution Of hot saltpeter but the part
remains hard, although there is no heat
in it. A little bloody matter comes
from the teat on that side In the ear

Popular Breeds.
None of the dairy breeds are COM
ing to the front faster than the HOl-
stems and the Guernseys. says Ameri-
can Cultivator. These breeds are in
the hands of men with ample resources
and thorough belief in the merits Of
their favorites, backed by enterprising
associations and special papers devot-
ed wholly to the breeds. There is some
little rivalry between the two, as we'll
as with other breeds, as a result Of
various public tests and the different
conclusions drawn therefrom. The
Holsteins, with their relatives, the
Dutch Belted, illustrate the Holland
type of dairy cattle, while the Guern-
seys, Jerseys and Attorneys represent
the Channel Island type The general
public is probably not far wrong in
it's impression that whatever may be
said of individual specimens or strains
the strong points of the typical Hol-
land dairy cow are vigor, size and the
quantity of milk product, while the
representative Channel Island cow is
famous for docility, beauty and RICH
highly colored milk.

Woods.

Caes Lake. July 30.--All doubts az
to- where the pine to be taken from
the Chippewa reservation Tor at least
large portion of it), will be manu-
featured; have been set at rest by the
acts Of the lumber companies which
secured the pine at the sale held at
the local land Office last December.
The different companies, with one
exception, have made arrangements
to have their logs hauled out of the
woods to Grand Rapids and from
there driven down the Mississippi
river to points in Iowa, or hauled to
Cloquet and sawed at the mills there.
During the past week, the Standard
Lumber company. which was one of
the largest purchasers, let the con-
tract for the construction of several
miles of railway grade and tracks
within the confines OF the forest re-
serve, at Cuba, about five miles east
of Cass Lake. Right-of- way for the
construction was secured a few days
ago, and now there are 200 men at
work cutting out right of way
through the forest, grading and lay
ing rails. This railroad will Re
known as the Leech Lake and North
ern and the main line will connect
with the Great Northern at point a
mile east Of Cuba. There will be sew
eral smaller branches CT this road,
which will be built to advantageous
points for loading the legs in different
points Of the territory where the tim
Der is located. At present there will
be but II miles of the road, which
will be sufficient to handle all the logs
that will be cut this season.
A contract has been let to the Swan
River Logging company, of which
James Killorin is the manager to
build and equip the road. This latter
company owns considerable rolling
stock. and can begin at once, after
the completion Of the railroad, to
haul logs. The Standard company has
nearly 200, 00O, 900 feet of pine to cut
IN that vicinity during the next four
years. After this season. the engines
to be used on the road will be CON-
PEELED to burn oil for fuel, in order to
lessen the danger of forest fires W.
