CROOkST0N MILL WILL
NOT Be CLOSED down
Dam Opened at St. HiIaire, Providing
Water...-Crookston City Council
Grants Concessions.

The Crookston Journal says of
the recent action of the Crookston
city council, the result of which the
Journal believes postpones the NOV
ing of the Crookston Lumber comp
any's sawmill from that city to
Bemidji:
The action taken by the city
council last evening in passing a
resolution to extend the water
mains to the plant of the Crookston
Lumber Co., will meet with the most
hearty approval of the people of
Crookston. The saw mill is the
most important industry located at
Crookston by several hundred per
cent. Should it be destroyed by fire
it would never be rebuilt, as the
company would locate any new mill
constructed nearer to it's timber
holdings.
The necessity for better fire pro-
lection at the mill, not primarily be-
cause the company was clearly
entitled to it, but from the purely
business motives of protecting an
industry that brings hundreds of
thousands of dollars into the pockets
of the people of Crookston has
strongly appealed to those who can
see an inch beyond their nose, and
if Alderman Leahy never does
another thing while member of that
body he will retire with a. good
record for the active part he took
last evening in urging the passage
of the resolution as sane measure"
Of late, the Crookston company
has been contending with a great
hinderance in driving it's logs down
the Red Lake river to Crookston on
account of the low stage of water,
and it is feared that the mill there
would be closed down.
Judging from the following, taken
from the Crookston Journal, water
has been secured by opening dam,
averting close-down:
For several days the officials of
the Crookston Lumber Co., feared
that the mill would have to be closed
down at this point owing to the leak
in the dam which caused the river
to fall over eight feet, For the last
two or three days four men in the
employ of the company have been
engaged in directing a powerful
stream of water from the company's
private system, in to the river at
point where the logs are taken into
the mill. The purpose in doing this
was to create channel deep enough
for the logs to be foated to the mill.
In order to further meet the emer-
gency of the situation the lumber
company has ordered its large dam
at St. Hilaire to be opened. This
has resulted in an appreciate rise
in the river in the last twenty-four
hours. In conversation with Jour-
nal representative yesterday one of
officials of the lumber company
stated that the mill will not be closed
down but that it will continue in
operation until the close of the sea

Violent Earthquake in Jamaica.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, June IA vio-
lent earthquake occurred yesterday, coming
from the southeast, and reports from Port
Royal show that at that place the most
damage was done. 1t destroyed the tenn.
porary buildings now under construction.
1t threw a scare into the camps Of the
troops here, and a large number Of them
were injured while making a dash for a
place Of safety. Forty soldiers Of the gar
rison artillery and royal engineers were in
jured, eleven Of them seriously, and good
many are in the hospital, the quake having
caused a panic among tnelr ranks.
Six soldiers of the West Indian Regiment
were badly injured in a panic similar to the
one at Port Royal at Uppack camp, being
caused by a peculiar turbulence of the
sea near the coast. No injuries were re.
ceived by the civilians at either place.

MONTGOMERY CITY, Mo-, June 14.-Dr
Thomas Jefferson Jackson See, astronomer
of the United States naval observatory al
Mare Island, Cal, now in this city visiting
his old boyhood home. says he has dis
covered the one common cause of earth
quakes-the leakage of ocean bottom, which
gives rise to steam beneath the earth:
crust.
He also points out that the chief danger
of these agitations is along the seacoast.
1T seems to be clearly proved" said DIR

SECRETARY TAFT ILL

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June I4.-Sec-
rotary Taft became suddenly i'll at
Fort Smelling this forenoon while
witnessing the review of troops and
fell over. Medical aid was at once
summoned and the Secretary at once
brought to this city to the home of
J. S. Hill on Virginia avenue. Pto-
maine poisoning is suspected, as he
was very sick at his stomach. The
luncheon at the Country Club was
abandoned. Secretary Taft will not
be present at the Y. NJ. c. A. corner
stone laying, and it is doubtful if he
will be able to appear at the dinner
to be given in his honor tonight.
That, however, has not positively
been decided.

rotary Taft was standing in the receiving
line at the Commercial Club he gave no in

street to get into the automobile which
carried him to the fort, he buttoned his
overcoat tightly about him and turned his
coat collar up under his ears The day was
warm with bright sunshine, and while the
other gentlemen were without -overcoats
Secretary Taft showed that he was feeling
