Save Building or Furniture.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Betchel was destroyed by fire Tues
day afternoon. The house was in
flames when the fire alarm was turned
in and the fremenaould do little good
The house and furniture were COM
pletely destroyed. The house was
worth about $500, insurance $500.
The furniture was insured for $3OU.
The net loss was about $500.
The auto-chemical was delayed in
getting out of the fire station and it
also had hard work to get through
the deep snow. Therefore. i. was
somewhat belated in getting on the
scene. The fire Tuesday afternoon was
the third fire in the same place in three
days. 1t was caused by defective
hue. Monday afternoon the fire was
extinguished before the arrival of the
auto-chemical engine. 1t is reported
that Tuesday morning there was a
fire. and Mrs. Betchel swept it out
with broom. and Tuesday afternoon
the building again caught fire when
Mrs. Betchel was absent and the fire
was discovered and the alarm turned
in by a passerby. At that time the
building was in flames.

per ton in the stack There is still
some surplus hay for sale in the val

Grain-Wheat, as also other grains
have made marked advance since our

Elevator Company reports paying
Sl6O cwt., for wheat; $l.25 cwt., for
oats and $l.25 cwt., for barley. The
advance in prices has caused con-
siderable movement in grains and a
number who have been holding have
disposed of their entire crop, believing
that market prospects did not justify
holding any longer.
Corn-There is now a market for
shelled corn and $1.40 cwt., is being
paid. Several prizes were awarded to
exhibitors from this vicinity at the St
Paul Corn Show. held under the aus,
picies of the First National Bank oil

Livestock-Hog prices are advanc,
ing and We are informed that $65(
cwt is now being paid here and higher
prices are predicted. The future for
better prices for hogs is looking more
favorable now than for some time
Cattle have also shown an upward
tendency in recent sales and prime
well finished steers are now being sold
at some profit to the feeder.
Poultry-There is a strong demand
for heavy hens; in fact, much greater

paying &c ID. live weight for heavy
hens; SC live weight for light chick

customers would do we'll to add tc
their flocks of poultry for market fo'

settlers have every reason for en-
couragement.
