ELEVATOR, 100000 BUSHELS OF
GRAIN AND OTHER PROPER
Y BURNED.
HEAT DRIVES f|RfMtN AWAY
BLAZE HAS GOOD START BEFORE
DISCOVERED - ORIGIN uN-
KNOWN.

Duluth, Nov. 10. - Fire of an un-
known origin last night caused the de-
struction of the Great Northern ele'
vator A in Superior, together with
100000 bushels of grain, principally
wheat, all of which was fully covered
by insurance. The elevator was own
ed by the Great Northern railroad.
but was leased to the A. D-IThomson
Grain company of Duluth. The sparks
soon ignited the Grand Republic mill
on Tower bay slip, the Great Lakes
Dredge and Dock company dock, and
the Duluth-Superior Storage company.
which contained the finishing plant of
the Webster Chair company.
Loss Will Reach $2,5oo,oo0.
It is estimated that the aggregate
loss will reach s2,5O0,OOO. The fire
started at the southeast corner of the
elevator A dock and before it was no.
ticed had communicated to the eleva-
tor. An alarm was turned in and four
fire tugs responded, but owing to the
intense heat they were driven out of
the slip and devoted all their energies
to saving the adjoining property. The
steamers w. A. Parent and w. A. Rog-
ers were in the elevator A slip load
ing wheat and the latter was to take
out 100000 of wheat to-day.
Steamers Towed to Safety.
The steamers Utica, Alva and Chill
were on the opposite side oAthe slip
at merchandise dock and were pull
ed out by tugs to save them from de-
struction. The Globe elevator, owned
by the Peavey company, was on fire,
and for time it looked as though it
would go, but the firemen succeeded
in extinguishing the flames. The blaze
also spread to the sawmill property of
the Peyton, Kimball & Barber compa-
ny, but this likewise was extinguish-
ed before any serious damage was
done.
Property Destroyed.
At 1 o'clock this morning the fire
seemed to be under control, although
still burning fiercely in some of the
doomed structures. The combined de-
partments of Duluth and Superior are
combating the conflagration. The
property destroyed at this hour is as
follows:
One Great Northern elevator, Min
kota flour mill and elevator, Freeman
mill and elevator, Grand Republic mill
and elevator, Commander mill and ele-
vator. twenty dwellings and several
small warehouses lining the bay front.

FOUR LOSE lWis IN FRI
AGED MAN AND GRANDCHILDREN
ARE BURNED TO DEATH AT
NEW ULM.

New Ulm, Mimi, Nov. 12.-Henr>
Ginner, aged seventy years, and HE:
three grandchildren were burned to
death in fire which destroyed tLein
home Saturday.
Henry Ginner was an invalid. prac
tically paralyzed by rheumatism. His.
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Louis Ginner
left her home to go to her fathers
house on an errand, and in order to
prevent her children from leaving She
locked the door. She had not beer
gone long when Mr.. and Mrs. JOSEPH
Karl, neighbors, noticed that the
house was in flames. They gave the
alarm, but when rescue of the grand
father and children was attempted IT
was found that the entire inside Of
the dwelling was ablaze. Nothing
could be done to save the victims. The.
mother was overcome when she reach
ed home and found the house ip
flames.
1t is supposed that the children
either played with matches or med
died with the stove and in that way
started the fire.

GRAIN ON THE WAY TO MARKET.
Plan Adopted by Minnesota Banks to
Move Crops Is Effective.

Plan Adopted by Minnesota Banks to
Move Crops Is Effective.
st. Paul, Nov. 1O.-According to re
ports received from various places
over the Northwest the credit scheme
which was inaugurated by bankers in
Minnesota to facilitate the movement
Of grain seems to have had the desired
effect, although the plan has not been
operative long enough to determine to
just what extent it will serve the pur-
pose. The farmers and dealers are
being urged to cooperate with the
bankers and large dealers as we'll as
the railroad and steamship lines.
"The effect of the scheme, which
was started last Tuesday" said a
prominent st. Paul banker yesterday,
seems to have produced better con-
ditions with regard to the movement
of grain. Although the plan has been
in operation only couple of days, it
is being adopted largely both by farm
ers and local dealers. There 81 )uld
be a movement of grain eastward for
export, which will greatly relieve
financial conditions in general in this
country.
The idea was to urge the farmers
and small dealers to utilize more gen.
orally an exchange Of credit rather
than an actual exchange of currency.
That is to say. 1t was suggested and
urged that country bankers and mer-
chants should honor checks by giving
credit for them, drawn on grain buy
ers. BY doing this grain could be sold
and shipped over the railways to the
lakes"
1t was stated at the Great Northern
freight offices yesterday that the
movement of grain toward the Head of
the Lakes during the week had been
about normal, although there was a
slight falling off from the standard of
previous years.
