There Will Be Much Building There
This Year.
Announcements just made at SUI
perior indicate that there will be bust
ness doing in that city this summer
and for a year to come at least. The
announcements are that three of the
mills for turning out finished steel
products will be located on that side
of the bay; that work on the Interstate
Transfer railway in that county will
be started within a few weeks; that
building operations on the plant will
be very active in the spring, and that
three power machines for manufacture
ing concrete blocks for use in building
the plants of the United States Steel
company at the Head of the Lakes
were statements that were made. The
information comes from reliable
sources, and was given out in connec-
ton with the plans that are being
made for the operations of the COM
pany at that end of the lakes. One of
the three mills scheduled for the SUI
perior side of the bay is the steel rail
mill. This is one of the largest of
the plants that will be put up in con-
nection. with the institution, and is a
big thing. No definite location for the
plants are given out, though it is
stated that they will be close to the
Interstate railway and perhaps in the
vicinity of Pokegama bay. Several
million concrete blocks will be manu-
featured by the corporation to be put
into it's buildings.

How to Avoid the Gaseous Curds SO
Prevalent in July.
In announcing the scores of the
cheesemakers' exhibit at the Unlver-
sity of Wisconsin dairy school this
month, Mr.. Mathew Michaels, IN
charge Of the scoring exhibitions. IS
sues a warning against the gaseous
and pin-holey curds which are preva-
lent in the month of July, advising
that the milk and mother starter be
kent well covered and all utensils
used in connection with the starter pc
well scalded before use. All OF the
seyenty-two entries in this month s
exhibit. both of cheddar and brlcK
cheeses, scored above so per cent. IN
the chedoar class high score, 1856,
was awarded Willard Mortenson OF
CIintonyille. R. P. Dassow of She
boygan Falls and William Winder OF
Rockbridge tied for second place, with
a score of $3.50, and third place was
given to T. A. Ubbelohde of Glenbeu-
lab. who scored SO. High score in
the brick class was 96.83, made by
Casper. Anderegg of La Crosse. j..
Rothenbach, Jr., of Ackerville, made
second score, 94.33, and Otto Kumm
of Coon Valley was third, with 1888.
The higest score Of the exhibit was
96.83, and the lowest 90.33, giving an
average of 93.43. The highest moist
ture was 40 and the lowest 32.4, MAX
ing the average 35.4. q
Nearly all of the cheddar cheese
makers exhibiting used starters, and
have little trouble in handling gassy
or pin-holey curds, unless the gas
producing germs are added to the
milk with the starters. In that case
it is difficult to make first class cheese
of the curd, because it is almost i'm
possible to develop the required
amount of dry acid. To keep the
starter free from suchs germs, as well
as from other impurities, it is abso-
lutely necessary that the milk, as
soon as heated, and the mother start
Ter, be kept we'll covered and that all
utensils used with the starter be
rinsed in boiling water before use.
Too often starter cans are left I'M
covered to dust and flies.

DEATH AND RUIN IN
PATH OF TORNADO
Seven Killed in Storm Which
Wrecked Village of Clinton,
Minnesota.
SOUTH DAKOTA TOWN IN RUINS

Graceville, Kim, June 80. - Seven
dead, eleven badly injured and sixty
more or less Injured and a property
loss of at least $145,O00 is the record
of a tornado which wrecked the vii
lage of Clinton Saturday evening
The storm covered an area of 800
yards wide and four miles long, and
tour along the path of the storm
yesterday showed desolation as COM
plete as it is possible to picture.
People who have experienced other
tornadoes say that this left the most
complete ruin in it's wake of any In
their experience. The marvel is that
SO few were killed and that the list Of
injured isn't longer.
Havoc Is Complete.
Coming to the village of Clinton the
real havoc is seen. All the southwest
corner of the town is absolutely clean
ed out. Thirty-three houses were
completely destroyed and twenty-five
practically ruined.
A most serious problem presents
itself to the people of Clinton. About
200 have to be cared for. The medical
aid is sufficient, as the doctors from
Graceville and CTtonville have been
in constant attendance for over twen-
ty-four hours. They have every case
handled in the best shape. But all
the clothing and property of those
whose homes are ruined are gone, and
the rest of the village is so small tnGt
it is not able to give sufficient help.
The neighboring towns have resp ond-
ed magnificently, but it is not enough,
and something will have to be done to
help put those people on their feet.
Pukwana Almost Wiped Out.
Mitchell, S. D., June 30.-The little
town of Pukwana, in Brule county,
about fifty miles west Of Mitchell,
was nearly wiped out of existence
Saturday night by a tornado, which
covered a territory about quarter of
mile wide and did damage that will
take long time to repair.
The storm struck the place about II
o'clock, when the town was sound
asleep It came with terrific force,
lasting about five minutes, but the
damage was awful The tornado came
from the northwest, Ieyeling houses in
it's pathway.
Not a House Escapes.
Between twelve and fifteen stores
and residences were entirely destroy
ed, and there is not a house in the
town that was not wrecked to some
extent. People rushed from their
homes in a panic, but they had no
place to go, and the darkness made
the disaster seem more severe than it
was.
Two large elevators were blown
down across the track, covering a
freight car. The depot was practically
wrecked, and the main track of the
road was closed to traffic for the day.
Crop Is Ruined.
| Accompanying the tornado was a
| hail and rain storm. The hail covered
section of country aobut three miles
wide and what the tornado failed to
do the rail storm finished. The entire
| farming country passed over by the
hail storm was ruined, hardly yes
tige of the once promising crop re-
naming to tell the story when the
| light Of morning revealed the fearful
waste.

wrecked in the storm and the town
