Boilers at SpraSue Mill
Steamed up Tuesday.
First log Will Likely be Sawed
Today. Is a Fine
Plant.

On Tuesday morning at exactly
ten minutes after eleven o'clock,
M. H. Sprague. president and
manager of the M. III. Sprague
company, applied the match that
started the first fires under the
boilers at the mill an d as he did
so he remarked that he hoped
that the fires would continue to
burn for many months. The
fires were kept up during the
day and by night fairly good
head of steam was gotten up
The new engine was started up
yesterday in order to try it and
the machinery at the mill will be
turned over today and the first
log will likely be sawed some
time this afternoon. The mill
will begin running steadily after
the 5th of July and from fifty to
a hundred men will be given en-
ployment.
The mill is one of the best of
it's size in the northern pan t of
the state. In building the plant
everything was put up in a good
substantian way so that there
will be no jar to any of the
machinery. The timbers are
all mortised and bolted and the
frame work is exceptionally
strong. The boilers are capable
of carrying a. hundred and ten
pounds of steam aad the engine
is Of two hundred horse power.
The mill is a single band and will
be capable of turning out about
forty Thousand feet every ten
hours. The lumber after it is
sawed is conveyed to platform
on the south side of the mill

To Straighten Avenue.

The council at their meeting
held on Tuesday evening passed
a motion authorizing the commit
tee on street grading to employ
a civil engineer for the purpose
of>straightening out the crook in
Washington avenue. Some of
the residents along the avenue
are desirous of putting in new
cement side walks~b they will
not do so until the crook is taken
out. It appears that when a
portion of the city was plated
that some of the territory which
should belong in the avenue was
used in the plated portion and
when the walks were laid and
the houses were built, they we're
built according to the plated
line. The avenue is 100 feet in
width and the council thought
that the easiest way out of the
difficulty would be to narrow the
street a triie and in this manner
make the avenue straight with
out interfering with the property.
AS soon as this difficulty is over
come many new cement walks
will be laid.

where it will be haulded on
wagons out onto the docks and
up into the lumber yard. The
lath mill and filling room are
both located on the south side of
the mill and the boiler and engine
house on the north side. Work
men are now busy enclosing in
the engine house and this work
will all be completed before the
mill is started up saving. There
will still be a large amount of
work to do after the mill is start
ed up but this work will not in
terfere with the running of the
mill.
Besides operating the saw
mill the new company will also
operate the planning mill and lath
mill formerly run by Akeley &
Sprague, When all of these
plants are running full blast a
hundred men viii be given en-
ployment,
The company expect that the
new plant will run for a long
number of years. 1t will mean
much to the business interests
of the city.

Is it Right.

In order to comply with new
law passed by the New York
legislature the three big life in
surance companies have been
compelled to cut down their
forces throughout the country
and about twenty insurance men
Of northern Wisconsin have been
thrown out of employment, and
thousands have been, laid off
throughout the country. The
law is that the companies cannot
write over $50, 10000 insurance
a year. The New York Life for
instance has already written
about one hundred millions and
it has been necessary to lay off a
mum Der of the field force so that
this amount will not be exceeded.
Insurance men generally cannot
see that the law is a fair one and
they are doing their utmost to
have the New York legislature
change it.

Death of Mrs. Emma Renaker

The death of Mrs. Emma Renaker
was the startling news given out at
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
Although she had been i'll for about
two weeks her condition was not re-
garded serious, but the end, though
sudden, was as calm and peaceful as
sleep. The cause of her death was
hamorrhage of the brain following
a stroke of paralysis. While her con-
dition was regarded critical, the sud-
den termination was unexpected.
The funeral will be held this Fri
day morning at the residence at 10
o'clock, Dean Robottom. officiating,
and interment made in Titusville
cemetery.
Her little daughter, Maude, and
family relatives have the deepest
sympathy of all in the bereavement
that has come to them.

Melbourne Beach, Fla, June 5, 1909.
Editor Of the FLORIDA STAR.
! am glad a recent correspondent
has corrected the error of another
about the mullet in the Indian river.
Everyone who has watched the
seine hauling, knows that the null
let are not taken in that way.
They jump right out as soon as they
find themselves inclosed by the seine
Jump neatly and go over the cork
line like flying fish. Mullet are
caught in the gill nets, and have to
be scared into these by devices well
known to the commercial fishermen.
And, as stated by Mr.. Hagy, the
worst result of seining is the destruc-
ton of the mullet food supply on the
bottom vegetation which the seines
rake up so that it floats ashore. 1t
kills the shrimp beds, too, where the
trout and sheephead get their feed
and that keeps these valuable COM
mercial and game fishes from resort
ing to the river for their food or any
other purpose.
Now that the new law against sein-
ing has been published seines will
be laid away for a time; but it is
doubtful if they will remain inactive
till Florida gets onto the northern
system of paying a few resolute men
good salaries to watch the river and
stop the illegal fishing. This is the
only system that has proved to be eff
fective in the northeast, the region
of the great lakes and the upper Mis-
sissippi. OLIVER GIBBS.

Rabies at Valkaria

Sometime ago, says the Melbourne
Times, Mr.. E. Svedelius, Of Valkaria,
was bitten by mad canine and while
DIR. Peek, of Melbourne, was making
a professional call there last Satur-
day this same dog gave the doctor a
bite on the calf of his leg. The dog
was killed and his head and neck sent
to Jacksonville to be examined. Re
port came back that the animal was
suffering from hydrophobia, or "a
bies. The doctor took the next train
for Jacksonville, and has arranged to
take the pasteur treatment at home.
