Is Totally Destroyed bv Fire Sunday
Morning at 900.
Loss Which was Nearly 800, :
900, Thought to be Cover
ed by Insurance.

Sunday morning the large mill
of the Edward Hines Lumber
company in this city caught on
fire from some unknown cause
and within few minutes the
entire mill was a mass of flames
which were not subdued uutil
the saw mill, single mill and
and store house were a mass of
ruins.
All the fire companies in the
city responded to the first
alarm and three fire tugs from
Ashland were also soon at the
scene but the only thing that
could be done was to keep the
fire from spreading to the lum-
Der docks and the machine shop
which was easily done owing to
the scarcity of wind at the time.
The mill which was destroyed
was one of the largest in the
northwest and employed about
two hundred men during the
saving season. It was built
over twenty years ago by the,
Bigelow people and was run by
them until little over three
years ago when the Hines com
pany purchased their tract of
tim Der, railroad and mill.
This tract of timber had all
been sawed and it is said that it
was the intention OF, the compa-
ny to either sell or dismantel
the mill.
While the burning of the mill
may have thrown a mum Der of
men out of employment, a good
many of these can find work at
other places in the city, laborers
having been very scarce all sum
mer, and it will only be a matter
of a. short time until the effects
of the loss of the institution will
hardly be felt here.

Trouble Over Raft Of Logs.

"A large raft of logs is tied up
near the elevator. The owner
ship of the logs, which are to be
used for pulpwood, is in doubt.
Until the question has been de-
termined it is possible the logs
will remain just where they are.
The Dells Paper and Pulp Co., of
Eau Claire claims that it belong s
to it, and one M. M. Miller claims
that the companycut the stump
age on his lsnd. Upon a promise
to pay for the logs Miller let the
company boom them. Instead
of paying for them the company
towed them to this city, where
they were to be loaded on cars.
The raft was however attached !,
and is still held, pending a set

Later-A settlement has been
brought about between the con-
tending parties. and the pulp
wood will be loaded on cars here
and shipped to Eau Claire.

We're Here Yesterday

Messrs Hines, Cussons and
Baker of the Edward Hines
Lumber company were IN tn e
city yesterday looking over the
ruins of their mill which was
destroyed by fire Sunday. It is
said that the loss of the mill at
this time of the year will be felt
badly the company as a mum Der
of contracts are ahead that will
have to be gotten out and it is
thought very probable that the
company will buy another mill
on the bay with which to do their
saving.
While here Mr.. Hines gave
500 to be distributed among
the fireman of the city for the
efficient work done at the fire in
saving the manufactured stock.
He also is to give Mr.. Arseneau,
the fireman that was injured, So
per day for the time that he is
laid up and also to pay the doc
tor bills. This generous spirit
is always Characteristic of Mr..
Hines.

House Summary.

The unexpected occurred in the House
yesterday. Instead OF taking up the con-
sfderation of the House substitute to the
Hepburn pure food bill early in the day
as anticipated, 1T was late In the afternoon
before Mr.. James r. Mann of Illinois pro-
ceeded to champion the cause OF pure in
gradients and honest weights in food prep
arations. The delay was caused by long
and earnest discussion OF the conference re-
port on the naval appropriation bill, in
which Mr.. Foss of Illinois, chairman of che
committee. was defeated by other House
leaders. The House was not in hunor
to accept the partial conference report, nor
did 1t desire to leave some of the Senate
amendments without expressing its judg-
ment upon them. In consequence, by a
close but effective vote, the conferees were
instructed to concur In the Senate amend
ment relating to the big battIeship, which
provides that Its type. displacement and
tonnage must be reported to Congress be-
fore any proposal is accepted.
Several minor amendments were aho
passed upon and then the report was DIS
agreed to and the conferees. consisting Of
Mr.. Foss Mr.. Loudenslager and Mr.. Meyer,
were reappointed. After the disposition OF
the naval bill the pure food bill occupied
the attention of the House until adjourn
ment.
