Dvshore planning Mill Consumed by Fire.

The plant of the Dushore planning
Mill Company destroyed by fire,
Wednesday night of last week, was
one of Dushore's industrial main
stays and its loss is severely felt by
the entire population of the town.
The value Of the plant exceeded
$4,000, and there is no insurance,
this having expired about month
ago.
The fire broke out at about 1880
o'clock aud burned until.3 O'Clock
in the morning at which time not
only the mill had been consumed
but a considerable amount of lumber.
The mill was located directly in
the center of a residence portion OF
town, but thanks to three inch
snow fall on the roofs of the houses
and splendid work done by the fire
company, the flames We're confined
to the mill property. There were
no serious accidents during the fire
though the most intense excitement
prevailed.
The origin of the fire is unknown
though the fact is established that it
began in the section of the mill re-
mote from the boiler room.
During the height of the fire it
looked as though the nearby houses
would burn, and the flames also
threatened the railroad trestliDg to
such an extent that it was deemed
advisable to send message to To
wanda, asking that the fire company
be sent 10 their aid. The request
was promptly responded to, the To-
wanda firemen arrived there over
the Lehigh Valley railroad shortly
before = O'Clock, but by this time
the local fire company had succeeded
in getting the fire under control.
The Dushore firemen were greatly
fatigued from their strenuous work
and several contracted severe colds.
Nearly score of men are thrown
out of employment because of the
burning of the mill.
This plant was formerly owned
by the l.. M. Bar tn estate. Lately
it was sold to Company of Dushore
men by the trustees of the Barth es-
tate, who demanded but small
payment from the parties making
the purchase, feeling that the insur-
ance carried was sufficient to cover
the deferred payments. 1t appears
that but one of the trustees had any
knowledge of the insurance not be-
ing in force and as the result the
trustees who are Atty. r. j. Thorn
son, DIR. VIC. Randall, Frank Lusch
and Harry Bigger are said to be the
heaviest losers. 1t has been stated
that the plant will not be rebuilt.

The veteran pedestrian, Edward
payson Weston, announces that
walking is natures sovereign remedy
for all mortal ills-and proves it.
If he has an attack of Indigestion,
he wakes it off; if he has cold, the
like medicine; if a sprain he stamps
even that out By like method.
Whether he has found the universal
curative or not, his own health and
vigor make it plain that if other
men would take less drugs and do
more walking they would live long
er. 1t is not to be expected that all
men will initiate Weston and tramp
across the continent. But there ia
no reason why each one should not
set apart Il certain amount of time
ea CT day for brisk walk, with
longer excursion afield at least once
a week. There Is no form of exar-
else more pleasant, more invigora-
ting and more permanently helpful.

Cotton can no longer claim rank
as king, for the corn has usurped its
throne. According to the report of
Secretary of Agrcultnr1 Vilson corn
ranks first in Importance. While
not as large as that of 1906, the
value of the corn crop of 1907 Is
greater and is 26 per cent. above
the average value of the crops of
the preceding five years. Eight
such crops as that Of 1907 would pay
for duplicating every mile of steam
railroad in the United States, with
terminals, rolling stock and all pro-
perty.
In value, the cotton crop of 1907,
estimated to be from $3.50, 900 to
$675, 600, 900, takes third place, if in
the final estimates it does not display
hay for second rank.
The dairy prod ucts of the country
alone were worth nearly Ss09, 900,
900 in 1907, or much more than any
crop save corn. Prices of both
butter and milk have advanced.
The poultry and egg products for
1907 should be estimated at more
than 5000, 900, 900 in value. in fact
these products were worth more than
the wheat crop.
these figures mean that though
the total production of the farms o
the United States is scarcely up t.
the average, the farmers will have
more money to pay off mortgages, tC
SPEND or to invest than for many
years before, owing to the increaset
value of his stuff. In fact, ther,
never was time in the history o
the country when the total value o
farm products was SO great as thi
year. There have been times whef
prices ruled as high, but less acres
were under cultivation and less stuf
was raised.
