THEY FOUGHT FIRES
FOR FOUR WEEKS
THE PAST SEASON HAS BEEN a
DESPERATE ONE IN THE GRAN
BERRY COUNTRY.

G.. III. Bacon, who has spent the
summer with his sOn-inIaw and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl M. Seek.
er. reports that they fought fire for
four weeks. MIR. Seeker resides in the
cranberry region and in spite of all
that they could do the flames swept
across the tract of berries which is not
under cultivation. The ruination was
complete. The part under cultivation
was saved by Mr.. Seeker obtaining an
engine and pumping water from a
creek into the bitches. 1t was one of
the severest times ever seen in that
region.
Mr.. Bacon says that the berries at
Mather will not be over one quarter of
a crop. They expect to harvest about
400 barrels and should have between
800 and 1900 barrels. The crop
where the Tuttles reside is almost a
failure. Mr.. Bacon says that some
sections have as fine crops of berries as
could be desired.

FRIGHT.
From Thursdays Daily

During last nights thunder storm

Devils Lake near the Mather cottage
and splinters of wood flew in every
direction. The occupants of several
cottages in close proximity were given
a Sc we're fright and some even felt the
Sh ock.

sky entered it at about so feet from the
ground, schattered the top into kind
ling wood and rent the trunk in twain,
part of it blocking the passage across
the road.
The Herfort family were sitting on
the porch of their cottage when the
crash came and at once began an in.
vestigation of the amount of damage.

his household were aroused from their
slumber, the force of the shock max
ing it seem as if their own cottage had
suffered. Many other campers felt the
effect of the storms fury.

who graduated in 1905, 28 have gone
to other schools, seven have launched
forth on the sea of matrimony and the
wishes of the class are that they will
| not get sea sick.
A short business meeting was also
held and Miss Gertrude Sheridan was
elected permanent chairman of the
class, she to have charge of the records
Of the association. 1t was decided to
have reunions of the class every five

served and the class returned to Bara-
